Hi Maryse! I had an early release of my latest book
The Mute and the Menace by A.R. Breck – it’s really dark!! You should check it out 🙂
YAY!!! Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m adding it. 🙂
I really wish I could snap out of my “don’t feel like reading” funk because there are lots of goodies the last few days.
I got into a series on Netflix yesterday while I was preparing this new release list. “Alone” (a reality survival series where people are left completely on their own – not even teams – to fend for themselves in the arctic.)
OMG it’s hard core. They have to build their own shelter, hunt, fish, sometimes they go days without food except for berries. And every once in awhile they catch something (fish or some rodent…), and get SUPER-SICK. OH BOY,.
I think I’m just in a general funk overall. I need to go back to prioritizing my sleep and maybe some outside time.
I know I’ve been in a reading slump for awhile but I miss it. I do think at this point i might actively have to work to get it back.
That sounds really good, Maryse!
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned Love Life with Anna Kendrick, but if you have HBO or HBO Max, I highly recommend it. I usually watch the heavy dramas, but with what’s been going on, I REALLY needed this romantic dramedy (and Anna Kendrick is just so darn cute!) She plays Darby, and it’s an anthology about her love life through the years. Each episode is about a different love interest (3 episodes per week) and I’m just loving it!
Twilight! Love your new pic 😃. I tried to talk the kids into watching Twilight on the drive to our trip a few weeks ago. 😂
I don’t have HBO and have never heard of Love Life, but I think I could probably get it on Amazon too. It sounds like my kinda show. Thanks for the rec!
I love that actress and I’m going to watch this tonight. Thank you Nay!!!
Has anyone read Tessa baily reborn? Looking for a new book to start and needed some recommendations.
Hi Shara. I read Reborn shortly after it was released and enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the next one in the series This Time Tomorrow which comes out on June 22.
Stacy. Thank you so much! I’m trying to decide if I should start it
I’m too busy to be in a funk. I’m desperate for some entertainment in a sittin kinda way. 😂🤣
Today was my last training session with Goose. He’s learned to walk better, sit, stay, leave it, wait, stand, come and off. He does really well for his age at his commands. But, he failed his overall training bc he’s got stranger danger pretty bad. Now, for the next month I have to practice muzzle training. Not bc he’s coming after ppl, but bc I want to trust everything will be ok when he does get pet and see how far he’ll go with that added protection. We’ll go slow, of course. Not like I’m strapping it on and saying ok, now pet him!
I have put this dog in every situation possible and he’s been selective with outsiders petting him, but it seems to have gotten worse in the last few weeks and he wants it even less. I tell you, I’ve gone beyond. She said more than she has done with her own, so this is a last resort. It’s been an all consuming job and I’m honestly exhausted just thinking about doing these meet and greets another month yet. I am not a social person in general, so. Just thinking of when kids have friends over and such, or he goes to the groomer or ya know, a new person has to see him or something. He has to be able to accept a little and not be so wary. Cuz kids can be obnoxious and realistically, I may not always be right there to buffer.
Also, I have no time for this. 😱 No time, no time. It’s one thing to be training a normal puppy with a house full for the summer and things picking up pace again. It’s another when I’m dedicating more time to work with a dog that has special needs than my family. And he’s only 17 1/2 weeks! Cross your fingers for us, please?
Hope your dog settles down, Tasha. He’s still young yet so there’s time. Fingers crossed for you!
I’m excited there’s a new Susan Elizabeth Phillips book out and I just downloaded a sample, but unless I get really hooked in the sample, I think I’ll wait to read some reviews before deciding whether or not to pay the *coughs* ridiculously high kindle price.
I wtr the new Grace Burrowes HR, but I’ve fallen behind on those books so I need to catch up. I’m still lost in SEAL heaven with the Troubleshooters series. They’re long books and it’s taking me a while to read them. Loving every minute!
I will try the sample of Alpha Night too, although I don’t seem to like that series as much as I did when I first discovered them years ago. I still like pnr and shifters, but I just don’t enjoy some series the way I used to. It’s not you, lovely pnr writers, it’s me……….
Thank you!!
Just finished The Girl in The Love Song. I so love the writing, it just flows. I wondered since this started when the H and h were 13, what would happen and would there be a long, painful separation. There was angst, but l survived. 😉
Looks like I’m not the only one reading less. I’ve had to put holds on the last 10 or so books I had checked out. I keep searching the new ebooks added at the library, and new releases in general, but not much is jumping out at me.
I am so excited for Susan Elizabeth Phillips book. She is my Favorite go to for a Laugh out loud read. I even reread Fancy Pants from her as a good measure, that’s my #1 Susan EP read. Her writing just s makes me happy. I’ll give feedback after I devour Dance Away With Me.
Thank you Rochelle!!!! I’m glad you’ve found one on here that makes you happy!!! 😀
Just finished Dance Away with Me and it was awesome. Is different from everything I read of hers, but I loved it. There were two things that I didn’t like. I felt like the h was bit dismissive of the H’s feelings and bit selfish towards him. And I wish there were a few more chapters at the end. I don’t think it will disapoint you though.
Ooh thanks for the feedback, Harper. I liked Fancy Pants too. Maybe I’m just going to have to cough up and blow my monthly kindle budget on one book. Ouch! But I do love her writing.
I saw Tasha mention Twilight and I’ve been a little out of the loop but has anybody mention that Target has the hardcover Midnight Sun SIGNED for preorder? I just canceled my Amazon and ordered it there! https://bit.ly/2XRXCAs
YAY!! And… I just bought the entire series first editions all signed (to other people but… LOL I don’t care – and book #3 is signed to “Marisa” so that’s almost me, right? LOL!!!) 😉 AND book #1, is from the first couple of print runs, so it doesn’t even say “New York Times Best Seller” on it, and has her old photo.
I’m going to give away my old hard covers from when I started reading them, since I have these signed ones now. I think I’ll the giveaway on Midnight Sun release day.
