Reader Favorites – Joy’s Top Favorite Books List:
Happy Reader Favorites Saturday, my friends! Joy just sent us this one and wants to indulge us in her own favorite 5-star book list!!! In fact, so many people agree with her choices (so I added some of that extra reader enthusiasm)!
P.S. Joy is a frequent “reader question” asker, and I LOVE that she’s always got new stuff for us to investigate!!
“Hello everyone, let’s each do a fave book list! I am looking for new books to read in the New Adult, Sports or Romantic Erotica. Here is a list of my fave 5 star reads (in no particular order)”
Book Review – The Martian by Andy Weir
The Martian: A Novel
<— OMG I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! One of the best books I’ve ever read, wholeheartedly experienced, had panic attacks over, and rejoiced in. Back and forth, all of it at the same time, in no particular order. It tried to kill me, as Mars kept trying to kill him, and OMG!!!!! WHAT. A. STORY!!!!!!! What a journey!
It was a ridiculous sequence of events that led to me almost dying, and an even more ridiculous sequence that led to me surviving.
The worst part? Where I shake my head and want to scold myself? I could have “LIVED” this a long time ago. My friend Fabi has been trying to get me to read this for a year or two, now. Oh yes. She knows good books.
Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – September 2nd 2016
BREAKING NEWS HURRICANE UPDATE!!!! I WOKE UP SAFE! And I still have electricity. YAY ME!!!! It was super scary last night (woke up at 1:30 am until 4:00 am with the winds just howling, blowing on the house and trees bending and the rain pouring non-stop) but everyone I know is safe and sound.
Of course some trees didn’t fare as well (minus a few tree branches that are hanging by a thread but pointing down to the ground). And the main roads here are completely flooded and closed. Yikes!!! That’s okay. I don’t need anything but to stay indoors and read my heart out. 😀
Reader Question – The book about the girl running from her schizophrenic brother…
Hrmmm… this one sounds sort of like a recent reader question that we were able to answer. I’ll look up our reader question archives, but maybe this isn’t it, and someone here knows which book we’re looking for!
Blaine asks:
“I can’t remember the title of a series I read a while ago. It starts out with a girl running from her schizophrenic brother and a rich guy in a limo finds her and takes her back to his house to recuperate.
Thanks.”
Sounds a bit scary!!! Anyone know this?
