I’m reading TWO new books at the same time (one is a bargain one below that I one-clicked and supposedly has a HUGE twist: Everything, Everything), and one is a psych-thriller that’s going live in just a few days (Imposter: A Gripping Thriller by K. Larsen!!!) <— You guys know I love her! Eeeeeep!
This weekend promises HUGE reading potential, and well, of course, to get your weekend started right, we’ve rounded up some last minute new releases and bargains and 5-star reader recommendations that will please us all! 😀
Oh. P.S. I know a few here are wondering how to change their avatars in the comment section to be your own personal constant one. So…
In case any of you missed the “how to change your avatar” instructions, here they are again:
————
how to control your Avatar (for example – mine is always the same and it’s actually my face) this is where and how I did it:
if you go to gravatar.com (which means globally recognized avatar), you can set one of your own (your pet, your face, something that pertains to you).
As long as you use the same email address that you used to comment on here, the same gravatar that you’ve chosen, will always show up (on maryse.net, AND other sites using the gravatar system)

!!!
Now… take a look at what we found! (NOTE: some are bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order. Sales listed are for Amazon U.S., however some of the Amazon UK links also reflect the sale!):
- Forfeiting Decency by Rachel Schneider <— LIVE!!! SHE HAS SEX FOR MONEY… “It’s not until Kip Foster is released from prison that her life starts to feel complicated. Somehow, Kip unearths desires in Kaley that she never knew she had. A desire to be more, to feel more, and…to be loved more. However, lies by omission are the most dangerous secrets, and they refuse to remain hidden...”
- Bed wrecker by Kim Karr <—LIVE!!!! ONE NIGHT STAND ALERT! *giggle* I LOVE waking up to this cover and title!!! Kim Karr’s latest AND WHAT. A. TITLE. IT. IS!!! *waggles eyebrows* (quite clever) Oh!! And I LOVE the name Maggie May… “…Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn’t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet. The problem is our story ended three days after it started. But now he’s back. And he says he’s sorry…“
- Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon <— SUPER-BARGAIN TODAY!! SHE CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE & HE MOVES IN NEXT DOOR ALERT!!! I’ve started it!!! 😀
Arwen: Loved this one…a bit of a twist late in the story, very well done! Loved the characters. Hope you enjoy!
Paula: It’s an amazing book. I read it recently and found it mind-blowing.
- Dirty Mother (The Uncertain Saints MC Book 5) by Lani Lynn Vale <— LIVE!!! LANI LYNN VALE’S LATEST BIKER-COP ALERT! She loses her brother (who’s her best friend) and is devastated… “She always knew it was a possibility that he might get hurt while on shift, but she never entertains the thought of him dying. Not until it’s too late. She literally has nothing else to lose. Until she meets him. Ridley Walker. A biker with The Uncertain Saints MC and a local sheriff’s deputy. The man responsible for taking away her best friend…“
- Lucky Chase by Milly Taiden <— LIVE!! This is a re-release. “Never has he wanted to keep a woman like he does her. He will make her his wife and mother of his children. There’s only one problem: his past is trying to kill his future…”
- Penny in London by Fisher Amelie <— Tasha LOVED this one!!
“…did you read Penny in London by Fisher Amelie yet? …It’s quick, will suck you in in the first few chapters. Lighthearted with some angst, some humor. Hot male lead, a bit of steam…give it a try if you haven’t yet! “
- Priceless by Winter Renshaw <— LIVE!!! STRANGERS ARE FORCED TO SHARE A HOTEL ROOM ALERT!!! “…as soon as morning broke, I set my sights on getting home. I rented a car, mapped out my 2,749 mile journey, and packed my bags. Only Cristiano insisted on joining me. He needed to get home, too. His best friend was getting married on Saturday. And he refused to let me go it alone. It wasn’t safe, he said…“
- Adam’s Obsession (Wired Series Book 1) by Sabrina York <— LIVE!! CO-WORKERS ALERT! ANONYMOUS STRANGERS ONLINE & HE DOMINATES HER, but… “When Adam Trillo—aka Savage—discovers the shameless, erotic woman he’s been tangling with online is actually his demure coworker, he’s determined to seduce her in real life…”
- Until Friday Night (A Field Party Book 1) by Abbi Glines <— ABBI GLINES SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!!! This is the one where he tells her all of his secrets because she doesn’t speak… The blurb has me, and Cristina LOVED it (one of her BEST OF 2015 reads):
Cristina: “Abbi is one of my all-time favorite authors! This book was another testament to her awesome writing skills. Our h becomes mute after witnessing a horrendous tragedy and comes to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Enter the popular, good looking football player, with a secret of his own. One drunkennight, he relays this secret to the one girl whom he knows won’t repeat it to anyone. It was such a beautiful story!”
- Torque (The Underground Book 6) by Becca Jameson <— LIVE!!! UNDERGROUND MMA FIGHTERS! “The final explosive installment of bestselling author Becca Jameson’s The Underground MMA series!”
- The Turning Point by Freya North <— RIP YOUR HEART OUT ALERT!!! Jan LOVED it!!
Jan: The Turning Point by Freya North tore my heart out of my chest. And y’all know I’m not into marmee books, but that one, just wow. You have to read to THE VERY LAST PAGE. That final ending was one of the most beautifully written I have ever read (as I sobbed and wiped away the tears).
Amy: And dang if I didn’t just click The Turning Point after Jan’s comment…
Jan: Hey Amy, I hope you love The Turning Point as much as I did. I went in completely blind, and it just blew me away. All those beautifully written details build up and converge so the characters become real, like people you actually know and really care about. Then, boom! goes the dynamite (not literally!) as they like to say in Dannika Dark’s Seven series. OMG I’ve got twisty tummy just remembering. And if I compare it with the countless books I’ve read with so-so characters I’ve long ago forgotten……… nup…… there’s no comparison. Freya North can WRITE.
- Groupie (Juked Book 2) by ME Carter <— LIVE!!! SHE’S A SOCCER GROUPIE ALERT! “Whore. Slut. Cleat Chaser. I’m used to the names so they don’t bother me. These are my boys. My friends. So what if I like to have dirty sex with them? My body is no one’s business but mine. Why is Rowen Flanigan making me re-think how I live my life? Making me question my choices? He’s only a rookie…”
- Behind Closed Doors: The most emotional and intriguing psychological suspense thriller you can’t put down by B. A. Paris <— PSYCH-THRILLER SUPER-SALE and I LOVED this one!! I read it, and it messed me up but I could barely put it down. Kept me up LATE!!! She pretty much married a monster… (even though to everyone else, it looks like they’re so happy). My review!
Jeanie: I’m 34% into it and ohmygod!!!
Maryse: I KNOW IT!!!!!! It made me want to ROAR!!!!!
Anastasia: I finished! There was a particular moment in the book that I almost folded not wanting to continue. It was that difficult to take, to believe, to witness. I’m glad I stuck with it and was moved by the very gratuitous ending will making a silent prayer for those who are at going through even a fraction of Grace’s nightmare.
Jean: …yes, hyperventilating and totally inside her head the whole time. I will not be forgetting this book.
- Paper Princess: A Novel (The Royals Book 1) by Emma Watts <— BULLY RICH STEP-BROTHERS ALERT! Sorta. 😉 *wheeeeeee!!!* One of my recent favorites is super-bargain priced today! P.S. Here’s my book review AND!!! What to Read After “Paper Princess” 😀
Carol: Absolutely loved this! Blazed through all three books!
Anne: I am reading The Royals series by Erin Watt and freaking loving it!! I am almost done with Paper Princess and I love those Royals! Yes they can be total jerks but deep inside they are just suffering. I can’t wait to get off work today so I can keep reading. I am glad I waited till all 3 books were out 😀
- Smut: A Standalone Romantic Comedy by Karina Halle <— YOU GUYS!!! KARINA HALLE SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!!! I LOVED this one, too! Wow today is the super-sale day of my favorites. What’s going on??? Is it my birthday again? YAYYYYY!!! (my review)
Cheryl: Loved this book! Such a great feel good, laugh out loud read. …Loving the poking fun of what Karina Halle essentially writes. So many laugh out loud moments- Fluffy, makeup by her roommate Ana, the suggested storylines, the pen names, the emails with their innuendo email names; but I agree Blake & Amanda need a kick in the a$$.
Grace: Yiiipppppeeeeee!!! *Squeals with excitement* SMUT! SMUT! SMUT! It’s soooooo funny! And sexy too!
Renee: Loved it! Lots of funny banter and sexy times!
Jan130: Yep, Grace. There are definitely moments in Smut where we laugh because it cuts uncomfortably(?) close to the bone about what we love to read. And yeah, there are books snobs out there like the bookstore guy in Smut. But we don’t care. We love what we love.
- AUDIOBOOK LVERS ➜ For those going on a road trip soon, or maybe you’ve got some projects that require both hands this weekend but still allows you to “listen”… check out the free audible trial + 2 free audiobooks deal —>
- AND! Here’s the fun-tool again! —> Find out which of YOUR Kindle ebooks are available as audiobooks at a BARGAIN-PRICE! <— This thing is so cool (Amazon calls it “Matchmaker“)!

Maryse! I just read Everything Everything last weekend (bev recommendation) and loved it! Just the drawings, diagrams, and lists made it so unique! Hope you love it!
This is awesome news ’cause I’m in at 25% in right now. 😀
I can’t wait to read your review of Imposter. And I forgive you for not waiting because duh!! It sounds so good and I loved Jezebel! 😀
I want Imposter right now! I’m jealous!
:D!!!!!
I’ll let y’all know.
I’m looking forward to the new Jana Aston (Trust). Her other books have been fun so this could be good too.
A new HR I’m looking forward to is coming out on 8 Nov as well. It’s called Someone To Love and it’s the FIRST IN A NEW SERIES (Westcott) by Mary Balogh. Squeeee!! I have really loved some of Ms Balogh’s HRs, especially Heartless, the Four Horsemen series, the Mistress series and the Slightly series, which I’ve just been rereading. She writes great characters with moving love stories and a nice bit of spice. I haven’t loved all of her books, but her best ones are really wonderful. If you like Judith McNaught’s HRs, odds on you’ll like Mary Balogh as well.
Trust and Someone To Love will both roll into my kindle on the same day. Which one to read first?? Hmmmmm. (First world problems?)
I finished 2 books this week. The first one Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas was amazing! I loved Rhys! And the bonus chapter from Winter in Spring gave me all the feels! Sebastian is still hot after 30 years. Can´t wait till 2017 for the new book.
Yesterday I finished Royally Screwed and loved it too! Nicholas was so swoony and Olivia was perfect for him. Can’t wait for Henry’s story!
Now I want to read another HR. Any good recs?
Jan I love Mary Balogh’s books too! I didn’t know she was coming out with a new series! So excited!!
I want to read The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid that came out at the beginning of the week. It’s pricey for a Kindle book but I sort of have my heart set on it. Then again, that cover, I may just need a hardback copy. Anyone else planning on reading this one?
Fabi that cover is beautiful. It sounds like a very interesting read too.
Has anyone read Kathryn Le Veque’s books? They are medieval romance and they have high scores on GR.
Anne I’m intrigued by Kathryn La Veque. Which books would you recommend I should try?
Have you read Judith McNaught’s HRs? Think you’d like ’em.
Forfeiting decency and Bed Wrecker are SO mine. 😉
Reckless Magic by Rachel Higgonson is FREE right now! Guys, that is such a great series for when you are feeling nostalgic for the PNR days right after Twilight. I devoured the series around the time I was reading series like Covenant, Lux, Fallen, Vampire Academy, etc. No sexy times or anything, but it is classic YA PNR (or at least MY version of it).
Just spotted that adult colouring book up there, Maryse. What the hey? Illustrations inspired by Collen Hoover, Abbi Glines, S C Stephens etc. Intriguing…….
Ok, now I’m worried. When you first tried JR you were reading another book at the same time. JR you didn’t like the second you did. I can’t remember what the other book was, maybe The Fish book and that’s why I side eye it. Or Jezebel.
Doesn’t bode well.
*snort* Poor bev…
Oh, Amy. I just saw the other discussion
Uhhhhh… 😳
Maryse: Bev wants me to do a br.
Amy: bev isn’t a Marmy.
Maryse:I know. *Makes what can you do face*
Amy:she isn’t even in the club of death with you.
R: And she looks like a monkey too.
Maryse:*sigh* I know.
Amy: Just tell her no.
Maryse: I’m Canadian.
Amy: Hide behind me.
Maryse: *hugs* But you know she will come after you with…..
Together: SERLOCK. *GAH*
R: Sherlock looks like a monkey too.
Hey now!! How did I get pulled into this! I’m just over here minding my own business drinking some Rose, doing a little reading, pretending to write, hiding from the fam!
awwww c’mere bev…you know Maryse is working. Come on, I’ll do a BR with you or a switch read for read with ya, whatever you want.
….in December – for Christmas, yeah! cause I just finished filling up my calendar for Nov.
I seriously did. I wanted to show y’all a pic so you know how crazy I’ve gotten, but Photobucket is down for maintenance. No, I’m not pulling your leg.
Phootbucket seriously!?? I thought it was just me. It keeps happening over and over!
LOL BEV!!!!!!!!!!
I just died happy!!!!!!!!
Oh wait… I’m still here.
*phew*
Back to my TWO books. 😉
Lol, Fabi. You’ll do a br with me at Christmas?
Wait. I have it. The Best Idea Ever.
Maryse and Amy could buddy read………Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda.
Hmm. We will see how those two reads turn out. 😉
*snorts and chokes while sipping cherry vanilla martini*
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Amy have you ever thought about putting out a cocktail recipe book? I’m not kidding. I think with your wit you’d bee really good at it. And with the ease of self-publishing these days, it would be a reasonable venture. I know you typically find recipes, but I have no doubt you could come up with your own. Name them after famous book/MC’s. I’ll market it for free.
buzzzzzzz bee really good at it LOL
And how much fun would the research be??!
Jan I haven’t read any of Kathryn’s books but just got The Dark One. I am excited to start it soon 🙂 I’ll let you know how it goes.
I am reading Bedwreker and liking it so far.
Anne I am Jan 130 on Goodreads if you want to friend me.
R! That would be awesome. She’d probably have fun making it too.
R, would you be her taste tester?
I know we’d have fun testing it! There may be some govt restrictions on a “cookbook” but I’m sure those can be navigated!
And there you go!
Jan I don’t have a GR account but I’ll open one tomorrow. Been wanting to join for several months now so I can keep all my readings organized. I’ll make sure to send a friend request as soon as I have my account 🙂
Everything Everything was a quirky enjoyable read but 2 minutes in I knew what the “twist” was. I actually would have been more surprised if when I got to the end I was wrong but I wasn’t. It was still a great book though.
I bought Smut, as you can never go wrong with Karina Halle. But first i’m reading Fancy Pants by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. A friend swears by her and thought I would give it a go. Although all her covers are a bit cheesy, I know you aren’t meant to judge a book by it’s cover but….can’t help it.
I am the first to admit I judge books by their covers just as much as I buy books for their covers. Good for you for giving it a go!
Antonella I like Susan Elizabeth Phillips too, but IMO Fancy Pants isn’t one of her best, although you may prove me wrong and like it! First Lady is one of her other books that is fun, and also the Chicago stars series. Don’t be put off if you try Fancy Pants and don’t like it. You can probably get one of her better ones at the library or secondhand if you want to try a different one. Her books have been around for yonks. (Maybe that’s why some of the covers are shockers – old school?)
Fancy Pants was not my favorite either, but SEP is a must read.
I want to start opening my reading up a bit more, and read my never ending tbr. I might have to try some of everyone’s faves at the end of the year that I usually would never read. Though I still have to read all of last years. Like Fabi next year I need to make and stick with my book resolutions.
I definitely am drawn to books that have “different” covers- not the half-naked guy or couple.
I would buy a drink “cookbook” by Amy. Have to have some kind of unique cover. Not sure what, but not the ubiquitous cocktail glass one.
I am reading Breaking Cage and have to say it’s not the sports romance I thought it was going to be. Yes he is a football player, but it’s more a suspense/murder mystery. Really good so far.
I think it would have to have the naked torso, right?
Cheryl, I keep seeing people loving the show Pitch. Have you watched it?
Amy’s husband could be the model. Or maybe he could pose like Dita Von These in the champagne glass.
I’m ready to pre-order Amy’s legendary cocktail recipe book.
I would totally buy Amy’s cocktail book too. Get on it Amy! Lol
I am 41% in Bedwrecker and DNF it. I can’t stand Maggie. She’s way overreacting about what happened with Keen. She won’t even let him explain. I mean yes you had a one night stand and had a connection but come on! You weren’t a couple. Maybe I’ll come back to it another time.
Me too ! The cover should be a guy, reading a book, with a martini in his hand (torso shot only of course no face). Lol!
Jean. Yes! A tattooed shirtless faceless model. Then we get all the girly drinks inside. Just like our romance books.
Come on Amy. We’ve practically have it all laid out for you already. Ha!
Title brainstorm…help me out
Romance COCKtails
Sweeten your evenings
….
Oh Fabi…I’m already on it. COCK-TALES 😉 It’s all about the books, right?
Hollywood Dirt-y Martini
How to Kill a Star on the Rocks
Jeze-bellini
Yeah, ok. The drink titles need work…
Hollywood & Wine Punch
The Maze Rum-runner
Chambord to You
Irish Cream of the Crop
OK. Stopping now.
I’m now too embarrassed to read Amy’s book in public.
I changed my avatar! Did it work??
(It’s a faery – of course! ha!) It was either that or Rhage, Rain, Ram, Ryder… ooh! I should use an “R” – all my faves start with R apparently.
Jan I am reading The Dark One and really liking it so far! Its a big book so it’ll take me a while to finish but I like that its a realistic medieval romance book. Its set during the War of the Roses. I’ll keep you posted 🙂
MichelleS love your avatar!
It’s a great avatar, MichelleS.
Yours too, Anne.
Whoa, I’m writing a book?? What the heck did I miss last night…
*scrolls up*
Ahhh, it’s a drink recipe book! I would feel like a fraud though because I pull all my recipes from the internet. 😕 I could NEVER come up with anything like these…
https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliapugachevsky/disney-themed-cocktails-you-need-to-try-asap?utm_term=.rcOE7XOWW#.flB7rYbzz
I swear, they are too pretty to drink!!!
Yes you can. I used to do it all the time when I hosted movie night and we needed theme drinks. And you would be so much better at it. We get get inspiration from books and then maybe on Friday nights we can test out some of your ideas. Go with basic cocktails and add your special twist!
My hubby’s shirtless tattooed torso with him holding a martini glass…I told him about it and he was all, “what the hell?? NO!”
He said the guys at work would never let him live it down and that you guys and I have too much time on our hands. LOL!!!!
You know, that actually would be kind of fun…
You can totally do this and I’ll help you. I bet we’ll all help you. 🙂
It’s funny because a couple of the blogs I read do make cocktails inspired by the cover or blurb or….
Amy, those are so cool looking.
You told him? Lol.
I’m shocked he wasn’t into it.
What would the first book be?
I Just finished Everything, Everything!!!!!
WOW SO GOOOOOOD!!! I’m so happy! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
*happy dances and twirls around*
Really? I was concerned for the same reason as I was with Jean. Don’t want to say too much cause spoilers.
Yay Maryse! Wasn’t it great! Maybe we all should listen to bev more often!
Amy, that’s hysterical that you told your husband. I think mine would have had the same reaction!
As a group, we tend to make a bad impression on husbands. :-/ But we have so much fun doing it! *giggle*
I think I can feel bev’s sigh of relief about EE from here. 😉
*snort*
R…if I ever do something like that, you would definitely be the first to know. 😉
My hubby is so used to me giggling and cackling while I’m reading the comments. All he has to do is peek over and see the pink screen and he knows what I’m up to.
Big sigh.
Her second book just came out, and good reviews. Tempted by it.
Well, Amy the guys at work wouldn’t know it was him because it would be from the neck down…
My hubby would just look at me, shake his head and walk away. :>
Bev, I have not watched Pitch, but I have heard good things about it too.
Thanks Anne. I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts on Kathryn Le Veque. She certainly seems to have written plenty of books. I’ve downloaded a sample of The Wolfe: Origins of the de Wolfe Pack. (Settle girls, I think it’s a HR, not a PNR!) I’ll see what the sample looks like. The blurbs certainly sound like these books will be right up my alley 😀
Ladies, too depressing?
https://www.readitforward.com/tbr-time/#
I’ll try my hand at some drinks for Amy’s COCK-tales book *gives slightly self-conscious laugh*
Archer’s Tequila Twist
Royally Screwdrivered
Full Tilt Your Glass
Virgin River of Rum
Love On The Rocks (hey, that’s the actual book title LOL)
Loverboy with Lime
Hey, this is fun. I could go on and on, but it’s ok, I’m stopping now……
OMG! Ya’ll have to stop!
I’m reading all about Amy’s book, and the torso cover (I personally like the idea of Amy’s hubby Dita Von Teesing it in the martini glass), and the names of the drinks, AND the fact that Amy doesn’t even know about it yet! So I’m horse-laughing and snorting with tears running down my face and Maryse comes in dancing and twirling!
Y’all need to take this show on the road! You’d sell out every night! ROFLMAO
Jan WTG on the titles!
Right Nay? It’s a riot around here. Don’t know why husbands roll their eyes all the time. *shrug* This is fun!
Oh LOL bev. i can’t believe someone actually went to all of the effort of making that website. That’s hilarious. But it won’t really work for me cos I have no idea how many books I read each year. I do a lot of rereads, plus I don’t always record books from the library etc. But I think the estimated length of time to get through my tbr would be pretty depressing……….
I’d better have a Full Tilt Your Glass to console myself over the size of my tbr…..
Bev, I’ve actually done that calculation on my own before – because I like playing with numbers – lol.
But according to the calculator on that website, and if I don’t buy a single other book (laughing uproariously), I will run out of books to read in less than 10 years.
GASP!!! *runs off to Amazon*
LOL!!! Jan
LOL Fabi. We understand, dear…… 🙂
Now, to cheer us all right up, what about a list of actual book titles that could be names of (heh heh) COCKtales?
Slightly Sinful
Too Hot To Handle
Kiss of Snow
The Chocolate Kiss
Wild Child
Moonshot
Take A Chance
Sugar Rush
Oblivion
Transcendence
C’mon, who’s got some other suggestions?
Yes!!! Amy, write the book, I’ll buy it. We’ll all come up with names from our fave book titles.
LOVE IT!
Gotta go check out this Everything, Everything that you all are so excited about. It’s not a depressing Marmy right?
Re: Susan Elizabeth Phillips, I liked What I did for Love, and The Great Escape.
hahaha Jan
well, I just read
What Boys Are Made Of
ummm, maybe that would work so well in a “drink” book
GASP Fabi. Maybe not??
omg!!! I meant to type “wouldn’t” work so well … wouldn’t wouldn’t
sheesh autocorrect – way to twist my words around
😉
Ewwwhh….not drinking that drink!! Cuz what boys are actually made of is icky. Hee hee
We could do a whole chapter on Alice Clayton!
If I count just the books I bought, I should be done in two months. If I include all the freebies it’ll take five years, and seven months. 😀
You all are really good with the names.
If you were breaking it down to taste, what would Hausfrau be?
Cold, dry, anise?
Or Undecided? Kulti?
Kulti would be one of those subtle drinks that sneak up on you. Maybe a cinnamon that slowly burns you from the inside out.
I got on Hausfrau and spent the last 10 minutes looking up Swedish drinks. But it’s set in Zurich…
R, didn’t you recently correct me on that? Lol.
Tessa,that sounds good.
Maryse gave Everything, Everything 4.5*.
Undecided would be one of those layered drinks (with different colour liqueurs) floating on top of each other. They’re so pretty. For those who can’t decide which flavour they want……….
I was wondering if you were going to catch that! Same thing, right?
Totally Jan!! I’m getting thirsty!
What’s everyone reading tonight?
Gemina! Finally! Whacha reading Bev?
Wolfsong! Finally back to it. Didn’t get to read at all last night or today 🙁
I’m going to try and finish Her Halloween Treat & maybe A Thousand Pieces of You.
Funnily enough in A Thousand Pieces they are in Russia right now.
Then after those marked in flesh?
Next weekend. I have a long weekend with the holiday. 🙂
It’s perplexing & ridiculous I haven’t read it yet.
It is. I need to have someone enjoy the memories of howling with me.
I’m reading Punk 57!
Punk 57 was good too. So many goodies around that I wish I could read for the first time again.
*howls*
Aw sh!t…Tessa’s howlin’ at the moon now!!!!
Owooooooooo!!!!!!
I was considering Punk 57, but I got super crabby over high school aged stories after I couldn’t stomach Paper Princess. 🙁
Was anyone really early today?
I hate when I normally wake up on the weekend at my alarm time, though not set, but especially today. Though I did finish a book.
So, now election night coming up.
I’m still trying to get my house back after Halloween :-/ but at noon I’m quitting to watch football! Today’s the day. I can feel it.
The Day Of Reckoning!!
Ok, I have no idea what your talking about. 😉
I just realized that today’s game is Browns vs. Cowboys.
“Today is the day”
Are you insane? Never going to to happen. hahahaha
Zip it Fabi. I remember when they slaughtered New England. It can happen.
I have a GR account! So excited! I sent friend requests to a few of you. If you want to add me I am under Anne or goodreads.com/Anne84.
I just got it Anne! Thanks 🙂
Anne, I can’t send you a friend request because your profile is marked private. Find me through Tessa, Fabi or Robin!
Jean I changed the settings so GR members can see my profile. Don’t know if this helps.
Got it Anne – thank you!
Yaay so glad we are friends now on GR 😀
Got your request Anne!! Thanks 😉
Anne–I just sent you a friend request on GR. I’m R.C. and my avatar is a torso in a kilt! lol
Helloooo. Still alive. Nano is kicking my butt….
Will catch up on comments soon. Hope someone is keeping a list of ‘must reads’ for me….pretty please.
Heklooooo Lisa. Hope you’re enjoying your writing.
Hi Anne. We’re GR friends now 🙂
Um that was meant be be Helloooooo Lisa
Hey Nay I just sent you a friend request on GR 🙂
Yes, I will keep track of all the must read books.
Hey Bev! Are you the pumpkins or the dogs on GR? Or is either of them you???
The pumpkins, the other is UK Bev. Though that was a quote for October, so I’ll have to change my picture.
Heheheeeeeee! 😀
Where is everyone today?
I’m stuffed, a nice lunch out with two of my favorite people. Maybe time relax and read.
I’ve been reading. :)!!!!
Nay, long ago I tought both bevs were the same and I actually argued with our bev about things she didn’t even say! I dubbed the other bev fake Bev, but aparently that wasn’t politically correct 😀
Lol, she wasn’t the only one.
Nice to know I’m so memorable.
That was funny.
Ok. I say something magical happened. They entered the realm of stories.
Tessa ended up a Penelope Douglas heroine. Give as good as you get, Tessa.
Amy ended up a Taryn Fisher heroine. I know you only act like that in books, Amy.
Fabi is in a Santino Hassell book. Ooh….Twist.
Anne, I sent you a GR friend request!
Cheryl, I sent a “Cheryl” a GR friend request, I hope it was you. (I’d love some real Outlander spoilers). 😉 It wouldnt let me put a note with it, but I’m guessing you don’t know very many Leslie’s.
Yeah I’ve gotten Bev and bev mixed up on GR before. LOL. I must admit, once when I liked a GR review by ‘Bev’, I was a little surprised as it didn’t really seem like that book (can’t remember what it was!) would be your thang, bev. Then the penny dropped…… other Bev. And I think there’s another Jan on there. I’ve seen some GR updates that weren’t moi. Ruh roh……but I’m Jan130 on GR anyway, so no biggie.
What Maryse? Reading??? Oh well, I guess that’s ok then 😉
Leslie and Nay I got your friend requests on GR. 🙂
I took a nap.
“Fabi is in a Santino Hassell book”
😮 how did you know what I was dreaming about?
Thanks for clearing up the mystery of the Bevs! I think I’ve only seen monkey Bev on here though (please don’t change your avatar, Bev–I’m already confused by the ones that have been changing the past couple of days!) And now I’m sending you a friend request on GR…
Still a monkey on here, just change my avatar on GR. But both places I use a lower case b.
I did get both friend request. 🙂
Anne I think I sent you a friend request. I dont know u our moniker on GR Nay…but add me. im the only Lisa on Jans list I think.
Thanks Bev!!

Thank you Amy!
Also, thank you for this. *grabs Manny and drags it to her writing corner*
I will need alcohol. I had to kill someone again.
Lisa–We’re already friends! I’m R.C. with the kilt-wearing torso avatar, but I’m getting ready to change it. I’ve had it for 3 years and I’m ready for something new!
Tessa, you don’t have to kill them. Just say, no to the killing.
Nay! lol ! I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out who R.C. was.
Thanks Amy. Some bargains there.
Tessa, you had me scared. I thought you were feeling homicidal towards Manny at first. Then I realised it’s one of your fictional characters. Phew! Manny was a quivering mass of fear. You’d better cuddle him all better.
I started Jana Aston’s Trust. if you’re looking for a cute and funny read, there you go. Chloe’s awkward internet dates are hilarious.
*cuddles tighter* I can’t help the killings. There are a lot of deaths. This one just actually mattered.
😮
It’s a slaughter house at Tessa’s Nanowrimo corner.
Tessa!! I dont know how you do it! I plan to kill off a secondary character which is ridiculous…I hate death books!
Im still stuck at awkward but longing gazes and accidental-on-purpose touching!
I dont know how to leap off the cliff into the ‘relationship’.
The tension is giving me a headache. Keep writing!!
Deaths are hard. I’m not gonna lie about that one. Thankfully, it is done and pass. Last year, I was stuck all November on one death. The rest of them really don’t matter, and yep, SLAUGHTER everywhere. Nameless, faceless slaughter, so that’s no big.
And Lisa, no worries. It’s the first drarft. You’ll get them to take a leap eventually. Besides, SLOW BURN!
You know what’s really fun? Last year on April fools I sent out a new scene to my beta’s where I killed off the BFF. 😀
Fabi–ROFLMAO!
I just wanted to be a little more anonymous on GR as I am on FB, so I don’t use Renee on either, and then I don’t use it here because of R!
Maryse–I just added a book to my ‘to read’ shelf on GR that sounds really good, and I didn’t see it listed with your upcoming releases.
It’s called 367 Days by Jessica Gadziala and is a romance mystery standalone about a woman who wakes up and has lost a year of her life. It’s up for preorder on Amazon and coming out in just a few days! 11/11/17.
I was going to put a link to it on Amazon but I wasn’t sure if that’s allowed??
Oh NAY! That sounds awesome. Okay I’m looking it up. :D!!!
I just added it to today’s list!! In the preorder section. YAY!
Correction: 11/11/16 release date–duh!!
I keep putting 2017 on everything and I have NO idea why!
Robin!! only you Death Clubbers would think that its funny to kill off a beloved character as a prank!! LOL
Your poor traumatized Betas. Did they forgive you?
😀 eventually…
Today is the day. Who is going to be watching the results?
I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight Bev until I know election results.
Me either.
I’m going to wait until later tonight to check in on the results. I can’t take hours of watching it, especially if it’s close.
Is anyone a little less than thrilled with the Kindle First books this month? I don’t find any of them appealing.
Nothing appealed to me either.
I’ve seen some say it will be very close and others say it will not be at all.
I’ll be waiting til late too to check out results.
Amy, I thought the same thing. There wasn’t one book on Kindle First that I wanted.
Oh you guys, I’m reading Dirty (2nd book to Raw) and I am totally LOVING IT!!!!! You have to read it if you’ve read Raw already!
What a crazy election it has been. Should be interesting to see how it all turns out.
You know I had Raw on my TBR back when it came out, then I moved it to my “too sad/don’t freaking read this depressing crap/Maryse’s death club loved it so I’ll hate it” list but maaaaaaaayyybe now with the sequel it won’t be that bad?!? *says with hopeful tone*
Maryse, nothing is looking good to Amy and it is a nerve racking day. You know what would make her feel better, Sherlock.
You should put him and picture in your list today. 😉
LOL bev!!!!! Poor Amy. I’m not Sherlock is going to do it… unless she sinks in for a few episodes… 😉
Alrighty. I voted. In Texas. So, did I really? :-/
Yes Leslie! You have to read Raw and Dirty! I would not consider Raw a part of the “death club” books.
No Sherlock right now. NO mysteries in any form. I just finished Held and…and…what the hell?!?
The story was going along all calm and without anything major happening, almost to the point where I was *wanting* something bad to happen just to shake things up, and then…and then…the *spoiler* and…and… *scratches head* No. It’s *spoiler*. *spoiler*. Because he *spoiler*…he *spoiler*…and she *spoiler*… No way. Nuh-uh. *shakes head and crosses arms* They just want to *spoiler* *spoiler*. They are *spoilers*. Because no way did…
Right? RIGHT?!?
*whimpers*
I just don’t know. 😕
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia is 1.99 right now.
Also, My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga is 1.99 as well.
*scuffs toes on the ground* Stupid “*spoiler*” and their stupid *spoiler*. They don’t *spoiler* *spoiler*. It was…she was…he was…oh, those *spoiler* are just *spoiler*!!
*snort*
LOL!!!
Really none of it was all that spoiler-y, but THAT book is better going in completely blind, so Amy’s reaction (which was THE EXACT reaction I had) made her nervous that it was too… spoiler-y.
So we fixed it.
*snort*
How spoilery is it now? 😛
OMG I’m totally cracking up!!!
Now it’s REALLY “spoilery”, LOL!!
Oh man, I just CANNOT stop thinking about it. And the more I think about it, the more intense my feelings get. This one is going to mess with me for a while. LOVED it. 😀
My Heart and Other Black Holes…..yes!! Have had my eye on this one for a long time.
Sherlock helps everyone.
Bev, are you going to see Dr. Strange? Your “Sherlock” Benedict Cumberbatch looks pretty good in that movie.
(I’m going to take my son)
AMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!!!! we need drinks. stat.
R, already?
Lisa, maybe on video. It looks fun but I’m not up to date on all the comic book movies and who that character is.
This is too stressful for me…
I saw the first #s, and yeah, I feel you. But they said those were pretty much called to be that.
I’m scared. Hold me.
Where the heck is Amy with our drinks and where the heck is Manny??? I’m here bev. Come into the electoral fort.
None of them wanted to watch the results.
I get that. They can still make drinks and give hugs!
Who are the scaredy cats now, hmmm.
*drinks Jager straight from bottle*
*passes bottle to R without taking eyes off TV*
Pass it to bev next.
You’re the bomb digidy Ames.
Sorry ladies, no mixed drinks tonight. We’re hittin’ it straight from the bottle.
Tessa had Manny last…
*fistbumps R* <—— still without taking eyes off TV
I’ll freaking take it.
Did y’all realize Tuesday’s post is up? Yet we’re still commenting on Friday’s post.
That says a lot about us right now. *snort*
I’m playing electoral bingo. Clicking as we go along. I’ve turned it into a drinking game, every time a state turns a color, I drink. Not sure how I’m faring. https://www.270towin.com/
I luffs you bev. 😉
oops. I’ll move. See? drinks.
I love Rhode Island.
My dad was from RI. Good state. Florida?? What’s up Florida? (says Texas…slinking away)
Did they call Florida?
Ugh!!! not yet!! Close!
Whoot!!
You know why I luffs ya, bev?
*drinks again from Jager bottle*
‘Cause you are usually so blunt and straightforward, and when you comment with an exclamation point or with some exasperation it’s so out of the norm that it cracks me up.
Yeah, I’ve been on the Jager for a little bit this evening…
I whoot to soon.
R, who gave Texas 38?
Lol. I luffs ya to Amy. It’s funny cause I feel like I use too many exclamation points. Good to know I don’t.
Oh, Texas. Guess what I found out last time I went to Europe? You can’t fake being from Canada with a Texas accent.
Texas is usually wonderful, just not tonight. 😉
Never cover up an accent, especially one from Texas.
Ok, now I have All My Exes live in Texas playing in my head.
Even George Strait is hiding in his Dominion compound tonight…
I wonder where the popular vote stands.
*whispers *
Are you all still here?
ugh.
Hey, I just heard that they have a live feed at the grave of Susan B. Anthony and voters have lined up to pay respects. That is pretty cool.
*drinks from bottle with left hand*
*lazily throws up right hand*
Still here.
Are we out of Jager?
I think R is looking to leave.
Oregon & California….true blue.
R is ready to bolt…
It’s a sad day when we run out of Jager.
*shakes bottle*
We’re good.
Before the walls go up.
That’s fine. I’ll drink NyQuil at this point.
Honestly, bev, I think the walls will border the northern lines of TX, not the southern.
Nooooooooo we still have jager!!!! You don’t need nyquil yet!!
yay! But they taste the same, essentially…
And you get a good sleep.
And there’s that. But gah!!! I need to watch the end of this!
This is torture.
Every time I get excited I get pushed back down.
So I’m looking at houses in Umbria Italy, close to Perugia. Really, you can get a fixer upper for next to nothing. How many bedrooms should I shoot for?
Sorry. Meant to text that, lol. That can be removed. Im.group texting too. Remove that one Maryse.
LMAO! Whoa bev!
BEV SAID A CUSS WORD!!! AN ACTUAL CUSS WORD!!!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry. I’d never post that strongly on here.
Promise that was meant for private.
He is at 240. I. Cant. Believe. This.
LOL bev. I just saw it, and per your request, I removed. But I’m leaving all the hilarious reactions. 😉 *snort*
**grabs the bottle of jager and downs that sh#t** Sorry Amy, *burp*
I want to have faith. I do.
My husband just got out of bed to offer his condolences. I’m freaking out.
Me too. Me too.
I actually feel sick.
I’m just…I can’t.
Love to shaer my liquor ALWAYS
Watching ABC and they sound like they think it might be over. He is pulling ahead in the polls un the Undecided states.
Jeez. They are reminding us he will be the commander in chief.
And he will have the house.
Maybe the senate.
I’m exhausted now. If they call it I am not sure I can stay for the speeches.
R, Amy no matter who my alarm is going off in 6 hours. I need to try and sleep. I hope I wake up to better news.
Thanks for hanging with me.
