HAPPY MONDAY!! IT’S A MINI LIST but still deserves to be shining brightly like a star on a Christmas Treee. These are today’s early bird book releases! And there are some pretty steamy yummy ones on here for sure. Tropes that are right up our alley.
P.S. The majority of the books on today’s list are super-bargain priced today, to boot! And I LOVE that right in time for the holidays.
P.P.S. There might still be time to shop on Amazon and get it in time for Christmas (some of them come overnight with Prime free shipping!! Also there’s gift cards. 🙂 )
Three things:
1.) Just gave myself a pedicure. 🙂 A good hour or two of pampering. I love doing that in a quiet, clean house (but I have to avoid my dogs that LOVE stepping on my toes). P.S. My pedicured nails last at least 3 weeks since I’ve been using this Essie “Good To Go Top Coat” over top of my color.
2.) I bought myself the ultimate Christmas gift and it arrived pretty much overnight (yesterday) and HOLY MOLY IT IS TOO COOL!!! It’s a projector that plays YouTube videos or pretty much anything (but I got it for the ambiance videos on Youtube. The HY300 Ultra turns my bedroom, or reading room into the ultimate cozy oasis (or into the ultimate fantasy land, or sci fi world if I’m looking for that vibe. It’s small and easily portable so wherever I’m in the mood to create an ambiance, I can plug it right in and choose my display. You can see my video here:
3.) I’m such a weirdo. I just hid in my bedroom for the last hour because the lawn guys came, and well, I’m antisocial when I’m alone and in self-care mode, and don’t feel like seeing strangers (or being seen) for that matter. 🤣 Oh well, at least I could do my nails in there, in eace. Well, not really in peace ’cause the dogs wouldn’t stop barking at the noises the potential intruders were making. *sigh* It’s over. I’m free to roam the house again. 😉

All I Want by Abby Ryan <— HER BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND THAT SHE WAS ALWAYS IN LOVE WITH… “...He used to pull my pigtails and call me annoying. Now he pulls my hair and calls me his. He was my brother’s best friend. Off-limits. Absolutely not. So I did what any rational nineteen-year-old would do—I wrote him a love letter confessing everything. Then I chickened out and threw it away. That was eight years ago. I never sent it. He found it anyway. Now I’m back home for Christmas, and Cole Brennan is everywhere—bigger, quieter, and looking at me like he knows exactly what I wrote. Like he’s been waiting for me to come back. Like he’s done pretending he doesn’t want me…”
