Good afternoon! Where is everyone today?
Here I am!! I knew the comments were working ’cause there are comments happening on other posts. *phew* 😂
That was my first thought… uh oh! Glad it’s working. Must be a busy day!
As soon as life permits, I’m going to start the Devil Wears Black. Has anyone read Forever Never released last week by Lucy Score? I saw some mixed reviews.
I haven’t read it yet. I am actually reading a book coming out in a few weeks by Jeannine Colette and Lauren Runow.
I saw mixed reviews as well. Unfortunately not a match for me. Funny, but I haven’t connected with other last three books as well – although I loved her other books. 🤷♀️
I’m midway through Susan Stoker’s Trusting Taylor. It is about a woman who can’t remember faces and a man whose can’t forget a face. Interesting premise. Just trying to get back to reality after our 5 day road trip to see colleges. Good news is that he is 99% sure on his college choice. I think he doesn’t want to say 100% as it makes leaving for college more real.
Oh I read a book like that!!!! Well in regards to can’t remember faces. I think it was called “The Date” (she couldn’t even recognize herself). And she was being stalked (and woke up from a date in the memory predicament issue)… but could never know if the person was bad or not because it was always like she was seeing someone for the first time.
That sounds good! I’m going to hunt for it! Same situation in this book as she is being stalked by a serial killer.
Looking forward to reading Prince by Blair Babylon (Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence Series #3) , a new release. Have enjoyed the series…Max, the H is unusual. He is hot hot 🔥, smart and has many sides/lives. In book 1, hung out in Paris with the h & in book 2, led a health mission in Africa. Oh yea, as a deacon, he wants to take his last step to become a priest…not that stops certain activities. 🙂
I love unusual Heroes!!!! And sounds forbiddeny. 😉
I had read a book a few years ago. Where hero was from a wealthy family and heroine was a simple girl. They both met in college and fell in love. Hero was not serious about heroine but heroine loved hero a lot. She got pregnent but hero first rejected the baby. He thought it will destroy his career. One day heroine told hero she had a miscarriage and left hero. After 10 years their 9 years old girl contacted hero. I forgot the name of the novel. Could you help me please??
Hi Prottusha!
I just posted your reader question. 🙂 Keep an eye on it and let me know if you see the right guess.

Maryse
Thank you so much.
It’s almost Friday! I’m more than ready for the weekend!! I’ve been simultaneously reading Fable and A Rogue of Ones Own. A little over halfway with both.
And I caught up on Good Girls. Season 4 just premiered recently and I watched it on Hulu after catching up on the last couple eps. of season 3 on Netflix.
So, last night I decided to try The Handmaids Tale on Hulu and holy cow!! Where have I been? This show is so crazy. For some reason, I thought it would be some weird cult like thing and was set in a much earlier time period.
I need to watch the latest Good Girls season. I was totally addicted to that show!!! YAY ME!
Just the 1st episode of Season 4 aired. So, weekly on Hulu Mondays, I think, there should be a new episode. The last season was cut short bc of the pandemic so kind of cut off weird on season 3. It was fun catching up and now I’ll have new ones to look forward to instead of binging them all and waiting forever for more.
The new season of Queen of the South comes April 7th too!!! I got hooked on this during quarantine. And it left off with such a huge cliffy, I can’t wait!
I started Queen of the South a year or 2 ago, I think halfway through first season, but I stopped at some point and can’t remember where I left off. I should pull it back up because it was good!
You should! Apparently it’s the final season. 🙁 But hey, as long as the ending feels right? Positive vibes. Lol
FLT- “That b*stard was leaving me again.” Fable by Adrienne Young

A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars
Night In A Waste Land (Hell Theory Book 2) by Lauren Gilley
Oo, that is a good one!
That first FLT…still giggling…good one
I know, lol. She is a tough cookie. Loving the adventure in this one. I read a bit about book 2, coming next week, and it’s a duology so will be complete- yay!
Just finished What I Did for a Duke (Pennyroyal Green #5) by Julie Anne Long – loved it! Clever & witty, sexy read. Hit the spot. 5★
Quote…
The Duke of Falconbridge, observing a painting: …“Mars is entirely clothed and down on his knees in front of her (Venus), and it looks as though Mars is about to give her a pleasuring.”
Genevieve: And what on earth constituted a good “pleasuring”?
😂🤣 A pleasuring….
