What would you do? For 17-year-old Callista, growing up in a world stripped of all its color after the great climate crisis, every day looks the same in her Neighborhood. There are no other kids her age except for her best friend, Reggie. There are no events or activities. And there is no leaving. Cal rarely even steps outside her house except to pick up the month’s worth of dry, rationed food courtesy of the Government or for her routine trip to the doctor, which always leaves her feeling groggy and depleted. And while she knows that she should just accept this life, she can’t help but wonder if there is something she isn’t being told. From whispered conversations she overhears of her parents to nightmares that feel more like memories jarring her awake in the middle of the night, Cal finally decides to find out for herself if there is something beyond the towering gates of her Neighborhood. Something that can provide answers. But what she finds is more shocking than she could have imagined. When a giant floating object of immense light transports her to an abandoned city, Cal meets more people her age who also grew up in Neighborhoods. And, like the orb of light she can suddenly summon with her mind, these other people are also gifted with special abilities. Before she can determine what is going on, they are all herded to a special Academy for the gifted, where they will learn to hone their abilities with other students just like them. But as Cal unravels her nightmares, everything she thought she knew about her former life starts to rip at the seams. And, as she spends more time with her fellow students in the Academy, she begins to wonder if she really escaped the Neighborhood at all.

Coming Soon! Join us for this tour from June 4 to June 24, 2024! Book Details: Book Title: Happy Harry: A Magical Golden by Barbara Lampert Category: Adult Non-Fiction 18 yrs +, 318 pages Genre: Dog Memoir Publisher: Golden Wolf Books Release date: November, 2023 Format available for review: print (print - softback / USA and Canada) and ebook (EPUB and PDF) available for review. Tour dates: June 4 to June 24, 2024 Content Rating: G: My book is perfectly fit for general audiences from young adults up to seniors. "Nobody who loves dogs will be able to resist your book! A magnificent love story!" - Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, international bestselling author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and When Elephants Weep. "Everyone loves Golden Retrievers, or at least they should. But what sets Barbara Lampert apart is not just that she is over-the-top crazy about Goldens, but that she writes so beautifully about them. Happy Harry: A Magical Golden is a wonderful love letter to the greatest creatures on the planet." - David Rosenfelt, national bestselling and award-winning author of Dogtripping and Leader of the Pack Book Description: In her dog memoir "Happy Harry: A Magical Golden," author and psychotherapist Barbara Lampert, a lifelong dog lover, tells the true story of her beloved Golden Retriever, Harry. Like her first dog memoir, Harry’s story comes from her mostly uncensored daily journal and takes place in Malibu, California. Harry was a genuinely free spirit – wild, and very wolf-like. Did all this contribute to his being exceptionally happy? Perhaps. Harry was not only the happiest being Barbara’s ever known, happy to the very core of him, but also the bravest. More than once in his life, Harry had to face true adversity, and each time, Barbara would look at him in wonder, not fully understanding how a being could be so brave and at the same time continue to be so happy. Harry literally pranced through life, with a joyous attitude that made being around him like magic. Meet the Author:
My passion is dogs! I’ve had dogs most of my life and hope to have at least one by my side always. Dog energy is the best! I’m a psychotherapist, licensed for over thirty years as a Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in relationships. I’m also an author. “Happy Harry: A Magical Golden” is my second dog memoir. My first is “Charlie: A Love Story”. Both about two of my Golden Retrievers. (See I told you that dogs are my passion!) Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a flight attendant for United Airlines for nine years. I also acquired two masters degrees and a doctorate. And taught sociology at a number of universities. Gardening is another love of mine (Not as much as dogs but right up there!). I see my garden as a work of art and garden as much as possible in my free time. I love being in nature. The miracle of growth, the changing landscape, the beauty. I live in Malibu, California with my husband David and, you guessed it, our two wonderful Golden Retrievers, Oliver and Henry.

No sex, some violence (a mugging with no serious injury). Book Description: Marianne gets the call while attending a conference in San Francisco: laid off, department dissolved. Two days later, she's back home in the dicey Kansas City neighborhood she moved to after a reversal of fortune two years ago. Her house and her life still need work, and now she needs a job, too. Marianne tries all the usual routes to re-employment, but a middle-aged woman has little job cred in the tech world, no matter how skilled she is. A contract job at a Chicago startup morphs through two acquisitions in eight weeks. And then she is mugged in her own neighborhood, which frightens her enough to considers a permanent move. An irreverent look at the alien denizens of the tech world, the fraught business of mergers and acquisitions, and the parallel universe of job openings, Still Needs Work is a contemporary story of the working world wrapped around a very human story of one person, her dog, and her community. Meet the Author: Ellen Barker grew up in Kansas City during a period of demographic upheaval, and she returns there in her novels. She has a bachelor’s degree in urban studies from Washington University in Saint Louis, where she developed a passion for how cities work, and don’t. She began her career as an urban planner, then spend many years working for large consulting firms, first as a writer-editor and later managing large data systems, jobs rich in corporate drama, large and small. She is the author of East of Troost, which introduced readers to the neighborhood where Still Needs Work takes place. She now lives in Los Altos, California, with her husband and their German shepherd, Boris, who is the inspiration for the dog in this novel. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ X/Twitter ~ bookbub ~ goodreads

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.
