Happy 8th Birthday, Blog!!! Let’s Reminisce… Part 1

February 28, 2017 By Maryse 66 Comments

Happy 8th Birthday, Maryse’s Book Blog!! 😀

I can’t even believe it. My tiny little blog is growing up and I’ve had (and am still having) SO MUCH FUN with it. Some of you have been with me for years, some of you, from the very beginning in fact, And some of you are just finding and joining our amazing book-community, and I LOVE that you’re jumping right in with us.

‘Cause you know we get silly here, and while books are always our #1 topic of discussion, they tend to spur us into other conversations that have us laughing out loud. Sometimes we’re so connected, chatting, responding immediately, that it truly feels like we’re all in the same room together. I FORGET that we’re online. I SEE you guys in my head. I see you laughing, chortling, snorting, and rolling on the floor. I SEE our book-blankie fort, and I see all of our shenanigans. read more

Corinne Michaels – Stay Series Reading Order

February 27, 2017 By Maryse 2 Comments

These are standalones, and officially, I’m not seeing a “series name” anywhere, but since each one has a similar looking cover and has “Stay” in the title, I took it upon myself to name it. LOL!!!!!! The “Stay” series. *snort* 😛 Hopefully the author won’t mind.

Anne: Just finished Say You’ll Stay and loved it!!! Zach was swoon worthy! The first few chapters were rough and I cried but then it was full of hope and love. I think this book is going to my faves list. read more
