Has anyone seen the interview for the beautiful disaster movie? Not feeling Dylan Sprouse as travis!
I have now, thanks for the heads up! I think it looks really fun and I’m excited to watch it. It’s always hard to match a book to the picture in our minds, but I have no huge expectations. I’ve been waiting so stinking long, I’m just glad it’s actually happening.
Happy release day! I really, really wanna get Would You Rather. But, I’m on a self imposed book buying ban. I’ve gotta catch up on a whole handful of what I’ve been accumulating before I allow myself to get it. But dang! I saw such a good review recently and she said if you love Abby Jimenez- it’s for you. I just finished Part of Your World recently and loved it so I’m thinking yes, it’s for me. Lol!
I finished Soul Taken. I love this series but I hate the wait in between books! Thinking about reading it again before the loan is up. Or maybe I should read the last couple of books to refresh, then reread it. 😆 I didn’t realize the Charley Davidson novella was out, too. Two of my fave series!
Thank you! I always get excited when I see your lists in my Facebook feed. One more pre-order for your followers- THE DO OVER by TL Swan comes out August 30. It is book #4 in the Miles High Club.
My 5reading time has sadly been diminished now that I am no longer a stay at home Mom and working 12 hour days. 🙁 But I did finish the new Katherine Center’s book The Bodyguard. If you like books about a male actor and a female bodyguard you will love this one. I would definitely recommend it.
I have been eyeing this one, glad to hear good feedback! Sorry you don’t get as much time to read. I am also a stay at home Mom and thinking about what the near future will look like for the next stage. Huge change, I’m sure.
My boyfriend has three boys (17 year old twins and a 12 year old). This is my first time experiencing life with children!! I’m learning, I’m learning!! LOL!
My oldest is 12, it’s a good age I think. Definitely ups the drama level, but we find more to relate on and chat about. I like sharing more shows and books and talking about friendships and what not.
Yes, college is pricey so basically all of my paycheck is going to my son’s college tuition but it is worth it.
12 hour days!!! WOW!!! How are you liking the job? Adjusting still? I remember when I went from full-time book-blogging to getting a job, it took me a few months to settle in to that new schedule. And then I’d come home from work and start blogging but at least the book blogging was super fun.
I recently finished The Lies I Tell and LOVED it! I totally just picked the thinnest book off my physical tbr (I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed over here 😅) and am so glad it exceeded my expectations. I totally could have read it in a couple days if not for life getting in the way, lol. I hadn’t realized the author also wrote The Last Flight bc I hadn’t read the synopsis since before I bought it, but I have it and remember now hearing a lot of buzz about that one so I am looking forward to digging in!
YAY!!!! I’m thrilled – I alywas love your recommendations.
I’m gonna start Pen Pal tonight. 😀
Can’t wait to hear what you think of Pen Pal- sounds deliciously dark and forbiddeny. 😜
