Happy release day! The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James released today, it’s next on my to read list! Also, The Cartographers, I got these in my box this month. 😊 I recently read The Lifeguards by Amanda Eyre Ward and it was ok, Daughter of the Pirate King, loved this one, and am currently reading The Paris Apartment and In My Dreams I Hold a Knife. One hardback and one kindle, for the treadmill. I’m enjoying both so far.
Oh YAY!!! I’ll add it on today’s list and the rest will go on Friday’s list! 😀 Thank you Tasha!
Hope you can let us know how you liked the first two books…
Me too! My goal is to complete them this month. I have a tendency, if I don’t at least start them within the month, they don’t get picked up for a while. I’m determined!
I love anything by Simone St. James! I can’t wait to hear what you think about this one….
The new Jewel E. Ann, “What Lovers Do” is scheduled for release on March 24. I always love her books! ❤️
Me too!! Thank you Mona!! I’ll look for the preorder and add it. 🙂
Click! This makes me so happy!! Thanks Mona!! Thanks Maryse!!
And might I add that I was fortunate enough to get an early copy and it is pure Jewel E Ann perfection. I think Shep is my new favorite – knocking Grocery Story Guy down a notch.! And this has everything, quirky awkward character, fantastically funny banter, a wee bit of angst, and swoon worthy romance!!!
Thanks Lisa! I can’t wait to read it!
Yay!!
Can’t wait to read your favourites Mony, I ve read a few look forward to the rest
Thanks Ana! I just saw that they’ve been posted. 🙂
Maryse you should start making more videos. If you do you’ll have to do some live reading sprints.
Or my silly reaction videos!! 😂
Yes!
