BLURB JOLTS… SO MANY TODAY!! LikeΒ that one there to the left! HOLY MOLY. The Two Lives of Lydia BirdΒ (she’s grieving her husband and trying to get on with her life and then she gets a chance at her old life again… what?!!) House of Earth and BloodΒ (Sarah J Maas!! Her friends were murdered by a demon and he’s a fallen angel), Monogamy Book OneΒ (<—this week’s newsletter sponsor, and her book sounds so romantically intense!! Her life completely changes when she finds a stranger in her bed…), Waiting for my QueenΒ (she wants to marry for love, but she’s just a pawn in the mafia world and he takes her for himself), The Wrong/Right ManΒ (Aurora Rose Reynolds!! Oooops! She had a blind date… with the wrong man π ) The TwinΒ (psych-thriller!! The twin sisters are reunited but one is trying to push her out of her own life!!), You Are Not Alone:Β (psych-thriller by my favorite writing duo!! She wants to be just like them…”When they invite Shay into their circle, everything seems to get better. Shay would die for them to like her. She may have to…”).
Michele G: I was fortunate enough to read You Are Not Alone early and enjoyed it. I wanted a little more from the ending but still gave it 4 stars. I felt like it was a psych thriller with a more unusual premise than some Iβve read before.
Maryse:Β Itβs funny because I feel the same way about all of their books (Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen) so far that theyβve released together. Riveting, unique psych-thrillers that I might even be able to relate toβ¦ and yet the endings are not quite βenoughβ for me.Β Yet, the stories as a whole (and the reveals) are so good that I love them anyway.

Wow! What an amazing release day!! So many great books today. I was fortunate enough to read You Are Not Alone early and enjoyed it. I wanted a little more from the ending but still gave it 4 stars. I felt like it was a psych thriller with a more unusual premise than some I’ve read before.
Speaking of psych thrillers, I can’t wait to get a hold of Eight Perfect Murders – it sounds so good!
It’s funny because I feel the same way about all of their books (Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen) so far that they’ve released together. Riveting, unique psych-thrillers that I might even be able to relate to… and yet the endings are not quite “enough” for me.
Yet, the stories as a whole (and the reveals) are so good that I love them anyway.
I agree!
Good morning! So many goodies up there. It’s going to take a bit to look through all the titles.
I just added another one that I just found called “The Companions” HOLY MOLY that one sounds crazy!!!!
Good afternoon, happy Tuesday! Everyone must be busy reading SJMβs new release π. Cmon Maryse, give it a try!! Iβve got 5% left of my current read and then I am on it!!! Just put a roast in the crockpot, I have to fold laundry today and the rest of my day will belong to reading only, darnit. (If I will it, itβll come true, right?)
I added The Night Watchmen to my list, sounds different and totally intriguing. Also want to read You Are Not Alone and The Two Lives of Lydia Bird. Iβve had My Dark Vanessa preordered for a long time, itβs one of my most anticipated for the year.
P.S.- My plant stands are here!! I assembled one super quick and itβs the perfect height. Think itβs over priced, but it fits my design scheme.
π€£π€£ I typed this an hr ago, stopped to put together my plant stand and do lunch and never refreshed. There some of you are!! *waves*
LOL!!! Well even if it’s a bit overpriced, if it’s exactly what you want, it’s worth it. No sense in buying cheaper and then eventually replacing them anyway… unless it’s urgent, that is. π
Lookit “The Companions” I just posted in the paranormal/post apocalyptic section. I just found it and it sounds crazy good!
That does look good!
From yesterday, I finished Reese by Raven Kennedy. The book was pure 5star CUTE! OMG, being in her headspace was just the best. Anyone wants a good book, the pack of misfit series is totally it. The first one is about a goose shifter and is RH. Reese is a pack-rat shifter and the way her head works just makes me smile.
I’ve enjoyed a few shifter books. Haven’t come across a GOOSE shifter before! LOL. And pack rats. *shakes head*
*giggle*
I’m suddenly seriously intrigued!!!!
That’s the basis of the series. People who are kicked out of their pack, or are prey and are unwanted. It is so great. π
I haven’t read a shifter book in AGES–well, besides Jane Yellowrock. I feel like I’ve lost my PnR mojo and I don’t like it!
Great list again π Thanks Maryse. I’m going to try Home With You. It’s on KU too π
My recent reads have been Daisy Jones and the Six, which I loved. My first (and won’t be my last) TJR.
Finally got around to reading A Scarcity of Condors. Also really good. Not quite as powerful as A Charm of Finches but still a fascinating and powerful read. MM done well.
At the moment I’m reading a light and funny HR called Love And Other Scandals by Caroline Linden. I’m enjoying it.
Home With You sounds great!! I love opposite side of the tracks type books!!!!
Yeah me too. I think that’s what caught my eye.
I finished my book! That took me a lot longer than any others so far this year. First one I was kind of disappointed with too. π Canβt all be winners, I suppose. I jumped back into Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon and actually despite my willing of all the reading happening yesterday, it did not. I feel like I need to get this one finished since it is an arc that Iβve had for a while before I can dig into SJM. But, also, itβs no hardship, I β€οΈβ€οΈ this book.
Tasha–I’m looking forward to hearing about SJM. I had a lot of problems with COMAF, so I never continued the series. I’m willing to give this one a chance, though. It sounds REALLY good!
Uh oh, what problems? You can msg me spoilers on GR if u canβt say here. I loved that series so I dk how helpful my feedback will be. π¬ Book 2 was everyoneβs favorite however, and not mine so π€·πΌββοΈ.
Read my GR review. It was one of those that I felt a bit passionate about, so I laid it all out there. I was willing to give the next one a try because there were things I did like, but I’ve just never taken the time to read it since it’s 700 pages.
The new Susan Fanetti, Thunder, comes out in a couple of days. New series – MMA fighters π Could be good π
I’m looking forward to the new Mercy Thompson book too.
OH YAY!!! Thank you Jan!! I wonder if it’s up for preorder?
YES IT IS!!! I’m adding it right now. π
Iβm interested in an MMA fighter book, wonder if itβll give me nostalgic feels. They were my first trope when I got back intro reading, especially this genre which was new to me at the time.
I finished Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center and it was just ok. π I went in blind and at first I thought I would be bored with the whole hike thing. I actually did not find story boring (thank goodness) my issue was with the MCs. I couldn’t warm up to them and they kind of drove me crazy. And…the ending was too quick. I’ve started A Really Bad Idea by Jeannine Colette and so far am enjoying the slow build.
I one-clicked that one awhile ago (Happiness for Beginners). Part of my HUGE collection of books that I want to read but still haven’t. Many really loved A Really Bad Idea, so let me know please!! π
I saw a funny meme yesterday.
“I’ve come to the realization that reading books and collecting books are two entirely different hobbies.”
LOL!!! π Agreed!!!
Maryse, that is super funny AND totally true!! I’m a wicked bad kindle freebie book hoarder. I have over 2000 free books. Btw, do not go by my opinion on Happiness for Beginners….’cause you know…picky-pants!! π
Iβve got to share this beauty https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXXAPW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A14GGJTIV10422&th=1. Iβve read that theyβre super easy to care for and they close their leaves at night and open them in the morning. I didnβt wanna seem like I have a problem to the hubs, so I started thinking when is the appropriate waiting period before I get an additional plant. AND THEN I thought, Motherβs Day is coming up and hey, wouldnβt it be cool if I could gift one to each of my mothers too?? So, these are bulbs that look really funky and neat and Iβm gonna get some and have the kids help paint planters and plant them, weβll watch them sprout and put some love into it and voila! Weβll have several pots to gift that we put together and grew our very selves. With color thatβs easy and not finicky (supposedly).
Oooh, I love those! Someone in my past life (can’t remember who) had one of those that was all green, and it was beautiful! I also love the one that’s half purple and half green.
I like that one too, I may get another set for different variety.
I read your review, Iβm scared I wonβt do u justice with my own review. ππ
OH YES I LOVE IT!!!!!! And that’s a great idea. I always love receiving a plant as a gift.
