HAPPY MONDAY!!! I have 17 books that just went live early, below. From forced proximity with firefighters, to paranormal romance, to bikers, to monsters, to mafia romance, whatever you’re in the mood for, I bet there’s one here. 🙂 But first…

Three Things:

1.) HOLY MOLY what a weekend! We literally just went CRAZY for the weekend. Did things we weren’t even planning to do!

2.) Like… I got two adorable budgies (parakeets). A blue and a green one. My huge cage was so lonely without my beloved “birdie”, and my grandmother always had budgies that I grew up with and so, for nostalgia’s sake (and the sake of my heart), they now live with me. I think I will name them Sky and Kiwi. read more

HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAPPY WEEKEND AGAIN!!! I’m so glad it’s back, because I have so much to do, and three days is never enough time to do it all. Luckily I have the days each week to myself and my life’s fun things, but I need to make a list to make sure I get the full value of my weekend. LOL!!

And while I partake in my hobbies, I will continue listening to an audiobook. I’m listening to Hayden Panettiere’s autobiography and enjoying it. Especially that she’s the one reading it, and she sounds so great. I can’t believe she’s gone. read more
