10:29am UPDATE!!! HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY EVERYONE!!! While I build this list, I’d love to know what you’re reading, or what you’re looking forward to reading. 🙂 Or watching. I’m enjoying some shows, too. Though I’m struggling with the darkness that is Euphoria, so I took a break. I know, right? Me, the horror fanatic (struggling with a show about teenagers)… but that’s a whole different ballgame.
Anyway keep checking back, I’ve got a few more hours of adding to do. 🙂

I watched a couple episodes of Euphoria and it was too dark for me too. I thought it was depressing and had to scrap it. Still slowly watching The Dropout on Hulu and loving it still, I just don’t watch as much as I’m trying to read right now. I am so tired lately. I haven’t been sleeping well, but also just really fatigued half the day at least. I think it’s hormonal. Anyway, I finished The Paris Apartment over the weekend and loved it. I’d say the last maybe 70/80% had me on edge. So many twists! Now have begun digging into The Book of Cold Cases and liking it so far. So, I just watched the trailer for Where the Crawdads Sing and I dk why I’ve dragged my feet so long on it. I think I wasn’t in the mood for an emotional read, but that trailer got me. I have to get it in before July.
Twists are my favorite!!!
And me too, I’ve been so tired these days… I nap hard after work, and still go to sleep somewhat early for the night.
I have Crawdads too, and still haven’t read it. I bet I’ll love it.
I hope mine doesn’t last long, I feel so guilty and unproductive. I hope you get some good night sleeps soon too. Maybe we can read Crawdads together! It’s been so long since there was a group read, we can’t be the only ones that haven’t read it. Not this month though, my reading goals are to the max. Lol
Done! And yes, not this month but I will be ready for you. 😀
Hi Maryse! I’ve become hooked on Serena Akeroyd for the past three weeks. I started with her Satan’s Sinners MC series and am now reading the Filthy Feckers (Irish Mob) series. They intertwine for a broader experience, but I was so caught up in the Sinners that I was too impatient to go along with the reading order, lol. I wish I had, because now I keep going back into the Sinners to read over all parts about The Five Points. It’s a really good storyline and will intertwine with 2 other factions (The Hell’s Rebels and another mafia family). There’s definitely a fair amount of steam, but I’m more interested in the growing relationships between the characters and their women and how the 5 factions work at containing a common threat that is immersed in various nations and organizations!
Oooohhh!! I will be adding this to tomorrow’s Friday Finds!! Thank you for telling us about it, Joy!! 😀
If anyone is interested, “The Oceanography Of The Moon” by Glendy Vanderah is “Read Now” out on Netgalley – meaning you don’t have to be approved and can just click and read. Not sure how long it will remain that way. If you enjoyed “Where The Forest Meets the Stars”, you might like this one too.
Here’s the link: https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/241886
Thank you Lisa!!!
I’m bummed. Just heard Patricia Briggs’ latest is pushed back again. 😕
I need to update the date… thank you Jody!
Yeah bummer 🙁
I just finished The Everything Series by A.K. Evans. The books involve four girl friends from California who find romance with a group of friends who are snowboarders. If you liked Ride by Kristy Dallas, it had some of the same feels. I binge read it and now am going to start another series which is a spin off of it.
Hey Kathy, I loved Ride by Kristy Dallas. So definitely will be checking out this series. I’m always on the lookout for good surfing & snowboarder romances. Thank you!
Hope you like it. It is no longer on KU but I had it saved up. Reading Cunningham Security which is KU.
As for shows im watching HBOs The guilded age, its sooooo good! Reminds me of Downton Abbey and Bridgerton with just a touch of modern glamour. Its soo good! Reading: Just finished Bright Side by Kim Holden, starting Credence by Penelope Douglas now. 🙂
Oooooh what did you think of Bright Side, Krystina???
I will have to check outThe Guilded Age, that sounds good!
Bridgerton series 2 is out very soon. Tomorrow, maybe??
