Book Details: Book Title: Best Buddies: What's in a Name? by Mother Melania Salem Category: Children's Fictions (ages 3-7), 32 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book Publisher: Holy Assumption Monastery Release date: December, 2022 Formats Available for Review: e-book (GIFTED KINDLE, MOBI FILE (FOR KINDLE), PDF) Tour dates: June 5 to June 23, 2023 Content Rating: G - This is a children's picture book.

Book Description:
What happens when a homeless dog befriends a homeless teen? Join them and find out! 
Meet the Author:
Mother Melania is the Abbess of Holy Assumption Monastery in Calistoga, CA. She grew up in a house that always had tons of children around, her poor parents had to read to her till they were hoarse, and from the moment she learned to read, she always had her nose in a book. So, it was only natural for her to grow up to write children's books. She has written three series of specifically Orthodox children's books - all in verse - which celebrate the high points of God's work of salvation in the Person of Christ. Her remaining series teach children the virtues in a fun, non-preachy way. Fearless and Friends chronicles the lives of Fearless the Fireduck (think 'fireman,' except that he's a DUCK) and Charity the Church Mouse and their friends, who get in and out of trouble based on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of their actions. The Adventures of Kenny and Scooter is a minimal-word series featuring six-year-old Kenny and his irrepressible Boston Terrier Scooter, who take turns getting into trouble and rescuing each other from their foolish antics. With all her books, Mother Melania is trying to celebrate virtue and God's saving work in our lives. connect with the author: website

Book Description:
What would you do if a naked alien materialized in front of you amid a ball of swirling winds and colored lights? Would you freeze, run away, scream, hit it, or try to communicate? And what would you think if you discovered these aliens not only come from a different universe but are also far more intelligent than humans and vastly superior technologically? Martin O’Brien leaves his native Ireland to chase the dream of love, but things go awry. Before he can return home, he becomes involved with the sudden appearance of aliens. This strange anomaly begins with a few “lightshows,” as the press dubs them, but quickly becomes a flood of millions. The aliens call themselves Embrians. Human reactions range from murdering them for sport to using them for slave labor to worshipping them as gods. Martin meets Jennifer Daniels, a pregnant young lady struggling to deal with her alcoholism. Together, they treat, harbor, and befriend a wounded alien named Vanya, but their kindness puts them at risk of being arrested. Not all Embrians are docile and cooperative. Their leader, Vahlion, threatens to conquer America if his demands are not met. Because Embrians are so advanced, the threat is more than real. It is a certainty! Martin, Jennifer, and Vanya are on a mission to save Earth, but how do you fight against aliens who have mastered entire fields of science that humans did not even know existed?

  Join us for this tour from May 10 to May 30, 2023! Book Details: Book Title: The Old Dragon's Head by Justin Newland Category: Adult Fiction (18 +), 257 pages Genre: Historical Fantasy, Supernatural Thriller Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd. Release date: November 2018 Formats Available for Review: print (softback) (internationally), ebook (MOBI (for Kindle), EPUB, PDF) Tour dates: May 10 to May 30, 2023 Content Rating: PG-13 +M. Mild sex and cruelty. Mature themes. Book Description: The Great Wall of China may be constructed of stone and packed earth, but it is home to a supernatural beast – the Old Dragon. Both wall and dragon protect China’s northern borders from Mongol incursion. Just beyond the fortress of Shanhaiguan, the far eastern end of the wall protrudes into the Bohai Sea – that’s the Old Dragon’s Head. Bolin, a young man working on the Old Dragon’s Head, suffers visions of ghosts. The local seer suspects that he has yin-yang eyes and other supernatural gifts. Bolin’s fief lord, the Prince of Yan, rebels against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor. In the bitter war of succession, the Mongols hold the balance of power. While the victor might win the battle on earth, China’s Dragon Throne can only be earned with a Mandate from Heaven – and the support of the Old Dragon. In every era, a man endowed with the powers of heaven – the Dragon Master – is born. Only he can summon the Old Dragon, providing he possesses the dragon pearl. It’s the year 1402, and neither the Old Dragon, the dragon pearl, nor the Dragon Master, has been seen for twenty years. Bolin’s journey of self-discovery is mirrored by that of old China, as both endeavour to come of age. When Bolin accepts his destiny as the Dragon Master, heaven sends a third coming of age – for humanity itself. But are any of them ready for what is rising in the east? Buy the Book: Amazon ~ Amazon.ca B&N ~ Book Depository ~ Waterstones Chapters ~ Kobo ~ BookBub add to goodreads  Meet the Author: JUSTIN NEWLAND’s novels represent an innovative blend of genres from historical fiction and crime, to supernatural thrillers and mystery. His stories deal with the themes of war, religion, and evolution and speculate on the human’s spiritual place in the universe. Undeterred by the award of a Doctorate in Mathematics from Imperial College, London, he found his way to the creative keyboard and conceived his debut novel, The Genes of Isis (Matador, 2018), an epic fantasy set under Ancient Egyptian skies. Next came the historical fantasy, The Old Dragon’s Head (Matador, 2018), set in Ming Dynasty China in the shadows of the Great Wall. His next historical fantasy, The Coronation (Matador, 2019), speculates on the genesis of the most important event in the modern world – the Industrial Revolution. His fourth, The Abdication (Matador, 2021), is a supernatural thriller in which a young woman confronts her faith in a higher purpose and what it means to abdicate that faith. His work in progress is a two-book series, The Island of Angels, set in Elizabethan England, and is an epic tale of England’s coming of age. The first novel, The Mark of the Salamander, travels with Sir Francis Drake across the wide open seas of discovery from 1577-1580 and is due to be published in September 2023. The second, The Midnight of Eights, culminates in the repulse of the Spanish Armada in 1588. He regularly gives talks to historical associations and libraries and enjoys giving radio interviews and making podcasts. Born three days before the end of 1953, he lives with his partner in plain sight of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England. connect with the author: website ~ twitter ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ pinterest ~ bookbub ~ goodreads Tour Schedule: May 10 – Cover Lover Book Review – book spotlight / giveaway May 11 – Rockin' Book Reviews – book spotlight/ guest post / giveaway May 12 – My Reading Getaway – book spotlight / author interview / giveaway May 12 - FUONLYKNEW - book spotlight / guest post / giveaway May 17 – Liese's Blog – book spotlight May 18 – Stephanie Jane – book spotlight / giveaway May 19 – Kim's Book Reviews and Writing Aha's - book review / giveaway May 22 – Locks, Hooks and Books – book review / giveaway May 23 – Rockin' Book Reviews – book review / giveaway May 24 – Authors on iTours: Let's Talk Books – book review May 25 – Gina Rae Mitchell – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway May 26 – Book Corner News and Reviews – book review / giveaway May 29 – Celticlady's Reviews – book spotlight / giveaway May 29 – fundinmental – book spotlight / giveaway May 30 – The Book Countess – book review / giveaway May 30 - Diane’s Book Journal - book review / giveaway May 30 - Books Are a Blessing - book review / giveaway Enter the Giveaway:

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
