Book Review – One Week by Roya Carmen

One Week
Oh wow, this one definitely goes there. I love Roya Carmen’s willingness to explore marital strife and betrayal. Going in with eyes wide open at times, but also… that unexpected devastating reveal. She brings the agony, the insecurities and total breakdown, to the forefront.

As readers, we’re appalled by some of the choices made, aching with the consequences, judging every character, and yet as humans, witnessing one of our biggest fears come true, it’s hard to look away and to not let it personally affect us. read more

Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – June 22nd 2018

HAPPY FRIDAY, HAPPY READING WEEKEND and… it’s the day of forbidden love (er, well… at least two of today’s Friday Finds, anyway). Like that one there to the left.
Let’s play “Three Things” (in the comments) shall we? This is one of our favorite games (anything about you, right now – random or not) to bring us up to date (courtesy of bev – I love her fun personal quizzes). Okay so I’ll start!

  1. A bunch of us are buddy reading that one up there to the left (One Week). I know it’s going to make a mess of me, and I LOVE that!
  2. I’m ALSO reading another book that I’m so into called The One. Imagine you can have your DNA tested, and find your exact love match/soulmate. Sounds perfect doesn’t it? But oh the complications, and this book GOES there. I’m LOVING it!!
  3. I just planted my 3′ lemon tree into the ground with my navel oranges. I grew them all from seed (from organic fruits, and growing from seed can be hit or miss on exactly what kind of fruit will be produced – yummy or sour?). BUT!! The lemon tree is extra special to me because it’s polyembryonic (meaning TWO trees came up from one seed, which, from what I gather, means that ONE of those trees is a perfect clone of its original tree and will produce the exact same kind of lemons I took it from). YAY ME!!!!

Okay, now you! 😀 And also…
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND :D !! read more
