Coming Soon!   Join us for this tour from Jan 13 to Feb 7, 2025! Book Details: Book Title: PILGRIMS by M.R. Leonard Category: Adult Fiction (18 +), 412 pages Genre: Science Fiction Publisher: Blue Castle Press Release date: November 2024 Formats Available for Review: print-softback (USA and Canada), ebook (PDF and EPUB) internationally, and audiobook (audible download). Tour dates: Jan 13 to Feb 7, 2025 Content Rating: PG-13. There is death in my book. There are also religious profanities “God damn”. There are also a few swears (not many but some “F” bombs said by the villain at the end). There is no description of sex but my protagonist follows an online creator who does adult content (her content is never described at all other than to say it exists). The main thing is the violence in my book. It is not gory but it does involve children dying. Book Description: Latin was a dead language—until the aliens arrived. Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute—that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first. But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down. Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity's first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he'll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine's Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising.  Meet the Author: Michael Leonard was born and raised in Boston, but the cities he’s spent the most time in are Beijing, Florence and Edgartown (in that order). After graduating from Boston College, he pursued a career in law before becoming a China market entry advisor and accumulating a few lifetimes worth of adventures in just nine short years. Somewhere along the way he lost his faith but he found it again in graduate school at MIT. Married with two young sons, he can be found discussing his next novel with his ten pound dachshund as he strolls around Boston Harbor. connect with the author: website ~ X ~ instagram ~ goodreads Tour Schedule: Coming Soon!

Book Description: The true and inspiring story of a powerful knight and a run-away queen who unite to defy an empire. King Charles, the first king of France, is beset by Vikings, rebel lords, and his brother, all seeking to take his kingdom. To strengthen his kingdom, King Charles marries his twelve-year-old daughter Judith to elderly, widowed Aethelwulf, King of Wessex. When Aethelwulf dies unexpectedly, Judith is pressed into marrying Aethelwulf's cruel eldest son. When her second husband also dies, twice-widowed Judith refuses to accept a third arranged marriage. As punishment for her refusal, King Charles imprisons 16-year-old Judith in one of his palaces where she is visited by her brother, Louis, and his knightly companion, Count Baldwin “Iron Arm.” When Baldwin helps Judith escape, they are hunted by her father’s men and must flee for their lives. Can Baldwin and Judith hold on to each other and their faith as they face the fury of an empire?  Meet the Author: A native of San Diego, California, D. H. Morris has lived on four continents and traveled through many countries. She has four children and eleven grandchildren and currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri. She graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and Choral Music education and pursued graduate work in English at USU and law at the University of Utah. She is also a published playwright. As a descendant of Judith and Baldwin, the author discovered their intriguing story while doing a genealogical project. This journey inspired her to research everything about the 9th Century – including food, politics, travel, war, education, clothing, jewelry, religion, holidays, marriage customs, and medicine. She loves talking about this remarkable time in history when the European countries we know today were being formed and fighting for their very existence. connect with the author: website ~ pinterest~ goodreads Tour Schedule: Jan 6 – @adriftinfictionalworld – book review Jan 6 - Gina Rae Mitchell – book review / guest post / giveaway Jan 6 - Liese's Blog – book spotlight Jan 6 - @this.human.reads * - book review Jan 7 - Cover Lover Book Review – book spotlight / giveaway Jan 7 – @readsandmusic * - book review Jan 7 - @acourtofspinesnpages * - book review Jan 8 – @jilljemmett * - book review Jan 8 – laksesideivingsite – book review / giveaway Jan 9 – @booksandlagniappe/ * - book review Jan 9 - Happily Managing a Household of Boys - book review / giveaway Jan 10 – @onceuponafrida * - book review Jan 10 - @onemorechap * - book review Jan 10 - @nessasbookreviews * - book review Jan 13 – @Leannebookstagram – book review Jan 14 – Ilovebooksandstuffblog – book spotlight / giveaway Jan 14 - @ashleycl1985 – book review Jan 14 - Book Corner News and Reviews - book review / giveaway Jan 15 – @book_withquotes * – book review Jan 15 - @michellegodardricher/ * - book review Jan 16 – History from a Woman’s Perspective – book review / giveaway Jan 16 - @laylabaylabooks * - book review Jan 17 – @lizzies.reading.recs * - book review Jan 21 - @bookishrebel01 * - book review Jan 22 – 411 ON BOOKS, AUTHORS, AND PUBLISHING NEWS – book spotlight / giveaway Jan 23 – Books R Us – book spotlight / guest post / giveaway Jan 23 - @nissa_the.bookworm * - book review Jan 24 – @speedreadstagram * - book review Jan 24 - @myfictionalmusings * - book review Jan 27 – @onceuponamaltesereader/ * - book review Jan 27 - @nadaabdelrahmann * - book review Jan 28 – Locks, Hooks and Books – book review / giveaway Jan 28 - @kiv_coffeeandpages * - book review Jan 29 – @thewinter_fox_library * - book review Jan 29 - @bearyintobooks * - book review Jan 30 – Meghan 's Mindless Mutterings: Reviews & Giveaways – book review / giveaway Jan 30 - @seayon_reads * - book review Jan 31 – bookishengineer – book review / author interview / giveaway Jan 31 - Teatime and Books – book spotlight Jan 31 - Adventurous Jessy – book review / giveaway Jan 31 – Faith and Books – audiobook 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.
