Good morning everyone! I need a book rec…
Whatcha in the mood for?
I picked up an ARC of the Wife Who Knew Too Much…
E.K. Blair’s latest is going live at midnight and that story sounds like it’s going to be intense!!!!
Are there any caterpillars in there?
Maryse! Let’s do a buddy read when the new SJMaas book comes out!!?? I know a ton of ppl will be reading it, we can all do a big one together. And you haven’t read her yet, right? This is the start of a new series so there’ll be no pressure to read one after another…yet, cuz you’ll want another after you finish. 😉
Hrmm… I wonder if I’m up for a whole fantasy romance thing. I just may take you up on that!
Maybe just start it, to 20% and see if it sucks you in. I bet it will. I love her heroines, her heroes, and her worlds. You won’t be disappointed, I think.
I read the excerpt. It was delicious. I wish I had gotten the whole thing!!!
I have the excerpt too. Making myself finish my current read before I jump into it. Trying to anyway…
I’ve finished the excerpt. I feel like you didn’t properly prepare me and I want to cry. That was the most intense excerpt ever and I need that book right now. It’s so completely different from her other series. The world is so much more modern, yet still magical and complex and I need more too!!! *thud*
GASP! YOU HAVEN’T READ SJ MASS YET??????? WHAT????? HOW DID YOU NOT READ A COURT OF THRONES AND ROSES SERIES? *peanut shower*
Right?!?!? Incoming peanuts…. missing out…. sooooooo good.
A new series by Sarah J Maas???? Is it March 3rd yet? Can’t wait!!! Love her writing. Two of my favorite series EVER. Kick ass heroines, strong secondary characters, plot twists. And it’s over 800 pages. I’m a happy camper.
Happy Tuesday!
I see that William’s book is FINALLY here! I’m so sad that I’m about 4 books behind on the Lords of the Underworld series. And the way my reading’s been going lately, I’ll never get caught up!
I was looking at E.K. Blair’s book last night. I definitely want to try to read that soon.
Maryse–I went to buy the Vitamin C serum and it’s GONE. It’s got the dreaded “Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.” message posted on it. I can’t believe it!!! I found it on another website for $19.99 and thought about getting it until I saw that shipping was $49.99!
Yeah Nay I think it sold out a few hours after my post. LOL!! I hope they get in stock again soon, ’cause once my bottle is empty I’ll be getting it again.
I’ll send their Facebook page a message to see if they’ve got another batch heading in to Amazon.
Okay Nay it’s back in stock on Amazon AND it has a $2 coupon to use right on their page before putting it in your cart. YAY!!
https://www.maryse.net/book-releases/monday-early-bird-book-releases-02-24-2020.html <--- That's where I linked it on my Monday post.
Whoops!
You can order it but Amazon shows a note that it’s in stock on March 17th. *sigh* I hope I don’t run out before then!!
Thank you, Maryse! I got it ordered, and I can’t wait to try it after it gets back in stock!
As usual Jewel E Ann’s latest Life duet is absolutely delicious. As usual I devoured every single word. Her stories always stir a mix of all the emotions!! Never disappoints.
I want to read the duet badly. I just haven’t had time.
Happy Thursday, everyone! I can’t believe that I almost let the day go without remembering, but today is my THIRD heart anniversary. Can you believe it’s been 3 years?!
I finished watching the first season of You last night and, WOW! Those last couple of episodes were amazing! I started watching the 2nd season, but then I realized that I need to read (listen to) Hidden Bodies first, so I’m going to hold off. It’s going to take 20 weeks at the library, so I’m thinking I’ll use an audible credit and get it.
Wow! The time does fly doesnt it?? You are a miracle!! ❤
