Wow, what an awesome release day- and month- it’s been so far! I’m feeling the pressure to get to more books in my que (library books) and really want to dig into these new releases also. Amy Harmon’s- ugh, I can’t wait! And The Gathering by CJ Tudor, I think I read somewhere “think True Blood”. I haven’t even read the synopsis, but I love this author so I have to get it! lol
A recent favorite read of mine was Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera. I practically inhaled it. What’s everyone been watching/reading lately? Oooh, and who all watched the eclipse yesterday? We were luckily in the path of totality and blessed with perfect weather, it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I want to put up a series reading order post. Do you have any series that you absolutely loved? I love making series posts.
Umm…I’m pretty terrible at continuing books that are part of a series. Not because I don’t love them, but usually just never get back to them because of other books and an endless tbr. But, the Finlay Donovan series is one of them that I have kept up with. It’s easy fun reading. And Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon a Broken Heart series. Books 1 & 2 in that one were so good! 3 didn’t give me the same oomph, but glad I read it. Those are the most recent. I might have a few duets I could add.
Yes! I could get lost in a series right about now! It’s been a while!
I was at work so I didn’t go out to se the eclipse, but from the front windows at work, I didn’t see it darken any at all in my area.
It was a super cool experience, it got chilly and started darkening as the sun was covered. The birds were confused, I think. And when it winked out, so stinking cool! 75 degrees that day and all the kids were just amazed. My hubs had to work too, but they let them all go out to watch it.
We were in the path but had crappy weather! I got to see a little of it though and it did get pretty dark!
That stinks, we were worried for a couple days, and prepared for it to be too cloudy, but lucked out. It’s literally rained everyday since.
Listen for the Lie was sooo good – I couldn’t sleep until I’d finished it!! If you enjoyed LFTL have you read First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston – go in blind but it was another couldn’t put it down for me!
Oh, I agree! Loved that one also.
Oh you have my attention Cheryl!!!! I haven’t read an unputdownable book in awhile. I’m looking it up right now. 😀
Ugggghhhh I can’t believe I missed The Gathering. I’ll add it to Friday’s post. Thank you Tasha!! 😀
Currently listening to Abby Jimenez’s Just for the Summer. I got the audiobook as my book of the month choice and it won’t tell be which percent I’m at, just the chapters. But, I think I’m about halfway. And I LOVE it so far! The narrators are perfect and it’s a great story line.
