- Comatose by Catherine Black <— SLOW BURN ALERT!! AIMEE RECOMMENDS THIS ONE!
Aimee: Good afternoon!!! I think this one was recommended by one of your readers, but it was really good!! It was a slow burn drama filled with a little thrill!
Comatose by Catherine Black
The ending will get you teary eyed!!! I definitely recommend it! A little info is the female lead wakes up from a coma. 😳
- The Casanova by T. L. Swan <— AIMEE RECOMMENDS THIS ONE TOO!!
Aimee: I have a recommendation for you!! Not sure if you read the Miles High series, but I finished book 3 called The Casanova by T. L. Swan.
I loved it! I would call it a comedy drama if that makes sense. I did not read any of the others in the series and I didn’t feel like I missed anything because of it. Well worth the read! I also listened to it through the kindle app and glad I did it made it so much more enjoyable do to the accent of the female lead.

So many books, so little time! Next couple days are gonna be in the 50s and omg I can’t wait!
Also, soo looking forward to the next couple release weeks. Tempted to preorder The Ex Hex. And Payback’s a Witch sounds good. Cackle by Rachel Harrison. Sensing a theme here? 😂 And!! As Good as Dead (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder #3)- I loved the first 2. Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber, author of Caraval- also loved. *sigh* It’s gonna be a good intro to spooky season reading. Since I can’t decorate cuz I’m in a funk over the state of my house in & out, I shall immerse myself in the stories, foods, and shows/movies. Watched Practical Magic the other night, love that movie. Timeless.
I can’t wait for the cool temps too… and my decorations!! I’ll go gentle horror during the day, but full horror at night. LOL!! 😆
Hah! So brave. 😉 Envious of your decorations! You’ll have to share. 🙂
We have a cold front moving through today but being in the south we just hope for high 70s low 80s!!! We have been trying to build a back deck but it being sooo hot you can get maybe an hours work done before you pass out… I started a reverse harem book yesterday and so far so good. Very dark and triggers…. Twisted Heathens
With all the Halloween stuff I kinda want to read a thriller but always shy away from them.
Wow, Twisted Heathens sounds pretty intense. Hope you enjoy! To me, sounds pretty on par with Halloween like feels. That weather sounds miserable, maybe with this reprieve you’ll make some progress on the deck and be able to enjoy it as well!
I want a COLD FRONT SO BAD!!!!!!!!
I finished Sweet Girl. Took longer than I’d wanted, but I gave it 5⭐️. I could totally see why this book could be hit or miss for some people, but for me it was a hit. The last 3rd probably cemented that rating more than the lead up. Maybe 4.5⭐️…bc of my previous complaints. But, that punch. It got me.
Pretty sure I just committed a crime somewhere. Just put a couple porterhouse steaks in the crockpot with diced tomatoes, black beans, sweet potato, corn, & seasonings. 😅 Hope it’s not tough. Lol
OMG I’ve done this before!!!!!! Mine were ribeyes… BAD BAD (but still plenty yummy!!)
It’s been a long time since I’ve had ribeyes. My Dad’s a big fan. I’m sure the flavor will be good- of the other stuff. I’m concerned about overcooking it so it really has that chew. Ugh. We got a quarter of a cow for early xmas gift and I didn’t know what else to do with it. No one really likes to eat steak here.
I LOVE STEAK!!!
You can also do a nice Mississippi pot roast like Robin and I love… 😉
https://belleofthekitchen.com/mississippi-pot-roast/
I use the WHOLE jar of pepperoncinis and the juice… some call for the whole jar, some call for only a few pepperoncinis and a bit of juice. Depends on your palette 😉 I like it full on.
This recipe – she uses the whole jar of pepperoncinis and all the juice like I do.
https://www.shugarysweets.com/mississippi-pot-roast/
For a different take on the recipe, use a pork loin with the whole big jar of sliced Greek peperoncini peppers and pat down the pork with some cavender’s Greek seasoning. It’s great to fill pita bread with feta and any other stuffings.
I HAVE A PORK LOIN!!!!!! OMG YES.
I’m doing it this weekend. Thank you Kim!!!!
Yes! Yummy!! But am I reading this right? Are you guys putting ribeyes in a slow cooker? Because I’m going to have to put you both in time out for that! 😆😖
😂🤣 Well, today was a porterhouse. Not sure there’s much difference. I did 4 hours on low, cut it up real small and took the fat off and put it back in. It turned out ok. Tasted like a roast texture, not really steak-y. I’m sure a slightly charred flavor would’ve been better. But my bunch is so tricky to please. And way simpler for me, this way. I ended up putting it all in bowls with shredded cheese & a little cut up tortillas.
I’d eat it. 🙂
I would too! (but only after I gave the chef a stern talkin’ to!)
😂😂😂
LOL!!!!! I’ve done it… yep. ;). I was being lazy. It’s still ribeye right? LOL!!!!!😂😂😂😂
I like super mild, I’ll try it. Thanks! I have a few roasts left too, so I’ll do it soon. Perfect for fall.
Just finished Sixteen Summers by Caitlin Moss. I always try to go in blind when I choose my reads. Therefore I keep my words minimal and I just sound repetitious with my recommendations!! This. Book. Was. Amazing!!
My ONLY complaint is I prefer dual perspectives but I know that’s not an issue for most of you. All the feels. Loved it!!
YAY LINDA!!!
I’m looking it up now. 😀

Rose startled. – Vanish Into Light (Hell Theory #3) by Lauren Gilley
