➔➔➔ Get Maryse’s Book Blog updates delivered by email (you’ll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
Maryse, I think we can pick 2 first reads this month. I got Little Voices too and I’m trying to decide between Everything You Are or Drowning With Others.
GASP!!! 2??!!!!!
I’m getting another. YAY ME!!! The two you are mentioning are the exact other two I was debating…
Okay I went with “Everything You Are” for the second choice. 🙂
I got it too!! The premise for the other one sounded good, but the reviews were more mixed so i went with EYA. Plus, we’ve already got a thriller, need the feels too! 😉
Exactly my thinking!!!!!
I noticed we got two, and I’m glad to see what y’all picked. It’ll definitely help! I was also trying to decide between EYA and DWO.
Has anyone received the Maya Banks book? Mine is showing it won’t be delivered until May 2020
Hi Debra!
Looks like they moved the publishing date up much further than the original date. I will remove it.
Maryse,
I just thought maybe mine was being weird. lol Thank you.
UGH, I want those! I’m not buying anything this month because I’m going on a trip at the end of the month. But… The Unkindest Tide! And The Girl the Sea Gave Back looks SO GOOOOOOD!
I’m re-reading Ghosted. I blame Robin.
You’re welcome? 😂
lol I’m falling in love with the book all over again. 🙂
I’m reading The Girl the Sea Gave Back right now….it’s really good! Oops…just saw you’re on a “buying freeze”…forget I said anything…*wink wink*
*snort* 😛
I WILL READ IT… next month? The only splurge I’m doing this month is 10 dollars on my Starbucks account (for the plane trip back and perhaps once while I’m there?) and KU. KU is important when on a buying freeze. 😛
Tessa—I’m presently listening to The Brightest Fell (SO good!) trying to get caught up. I may have to have an October Daye marathon.
Yay, Ghosted!!
OMG that sounds like so much fun. If the library doesn’t have it by next month, I’ll just buy it. I love that series so much. It’s one where, if you can get past the second book, it’s awesome. The first was good too, but that second was blah.
OMG my brain just clicked into a possibility in “The Anonymous Girl” I just put a few things together at about the 50% mark. Eeeeeeeeep!!
I bet I’m right.
Don’t tell me though.
OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Maryse—I’m pretty sure I did the same thing, but I can’t remember whether I was right or not…
Hey ladies! How is everyone?? I need a rundown of recent shenanigans around here! I know, I know…if I actually showed my face once in a while I would know the current goings-on. 😔 But all y’all are never far from my heart and mind!
Sooooo, it looks like Friday had some great finds? I’m SO checking that post out. I just found out I have a $76 credit on Amazon and it’s begging me to spend it on BOOKS! Especially pricey ones I’ve been putting off. 😉
Also, I finished Say You Still Love Me by K.A. Tucker a few days ago and GUYS!! It was fantastic!!! Until It Fades is still her favorite of mine *swoony sigh* but this was just an all-around great read with no over-the-top, unnecessary drama but some nice doses of short-lived angst and mild heart ache injected from time to time…what I’m trying to say is it’s “safe” for everyone! The only thing which might turn some off is the back and forth from past to present, but other than that it’s another sweet read from KAT and I definitely recommend it! 😀
*waves to Amy* The biggest is we are hoping that Maryse doesn’t get caught up in Dorian and we are praying for her family that is in the Bahamas.
Um… It’s been quiet. People have vacationed a bit. I noticed since the reply thing people aren’t posting as much. *shrugs* There has been glitter everywhere and tons of good books. We need Bev to give a good summary. 🙂
WHAT? Maryse has family in the Bahamas!!! Oh no. Update!!! Did you survive Dorian, Maryse?
Yep!!
All is well for me here in Florida (I’m on the West Coast and it didn’t cross the state)… and my family is in Freeport but (as far as I know right now), where they are located did not flood at all, and they didn’t have any damage to their homes. What the situation is there otherwise (water & power) not sure… but they have remained in contact with my aunt with WhatsApp – who just so happened to be vacationing in Canada at that same time.
Hi Amy!! I can so relate. I’ve been away for a while too. I just wish KA Tuckers books weren’t so pricey and were on KU.
I’m thinking of To Be Your Girl or Anyone but Rich. On vacation I finished a pretty good rock star series. They are KU, pretty quick and are interrelated stories. Each book is about different main characters but the other characters stories from the other books are built on and continued in each book. Rogue series by Lara Ward Cosio.
Maryse, I hope you and your family are safe. Just watching CNN covering the storm devastation in the Bahamas. Heartbreaking.
Amy, that sounds right up my alley!! Until it Fades is one of my faves too. I actually love past/present timelines. Yay! However, it will be like 6 months wait time to get it from library.
Amy! I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago. It’s great to see you here!
I also LOVED Say You Still Love Me. Leslie—you need to read it!
I need an update on shenanigans too
Good morning!!!!
Wondering why I sound excited in my greeting??? I have one word for ya….BULLY. Yep, a big fat ole bully. Hidden by Gemma Weir was on the release list and I found that Valentine is a big ole fat bully! Throw in that Nova’s family is a major part of an MC and I am hooked! Love the whole scenario/plot of this book. Now the wait is on…there is a cliffy (which you know I hate) but book 2 will be out in a couple weeks…
YAY DG!!!!!!
I need to update our Bully list with all the latest finds that you guys are loving.
I feel like I’m seeing bully everywhere!
*squee* I know! I’m enjoying it so much! 😛
*writes down Hidden by Gemma Weir*
The Lark Cove Series by Devney Perry is now free on KU. Definitely worth reading. Perfect for a rainy day!
GASP!!!! AMAZING FIND!!!
Ooh, thanks Kathy. Nice.
I’m almost finished with The First Girl Child, by Amy Harmon, and loving it!!! Thanks for the rec y’all!!!
Been super busy because I’m putting my house on the market & moving (just ten miles away). Ugh. What a royal pain in the a** this is. Declutter, she said. My clutter is obviously not coming with the house! They stage them now like it’s HGTV. I’m exhausted.
And lol!! Poor MichelleS…
decluttering is my favorite!!!
I have not posted in forever but I always check out Tuesday posts Maryse! But usually not until Thursday! Glad to see you posted that your family is doing OK. I was Soooooooo glad that storm went away from us on the west coast as much as I don’t want to ever wish that on anyone else!
I’ve been very much library book reading, and more contemporary fiction which makes for some long waits sometimes on books!
Hey, Steph! *waves*
What’s happened to our FLT?? I hope it’s just because everyone’s busy with getting vacations done and getting back to school.
FLT:
“It was Miguel who called 911 at 4:07 a.m. on an icy Sunday morning.”
The Escape Room by Megan Goldin
And listening to:
“The abduction of a child by a stranger is every parent’s worst nightmare.”
The Whisper Man by Alex North
GASP!!! I’m dying to know how you’re liking both. The Escape Room is on my fightable right now (the actual hardcover!!).
And of course The Whisper Man is calling me like no other… *whispering to me* 😛
Maryse–and the whispers are oh so CREEPY! But I think the audiobook is making them extra creepy. The narrators voice…*shiver*
I haven’t gotten as far with The Escape Room because I was immersed in October Daye before I started The Whisper Man (The Brightest Fell was phenomenal! One of my favorites of the series), but I plan to get back into TER today. It’s really good so far!
