OMG HAPPY TUESDAY TO US!!!! Almost 100 new books that just went LIVE today, and if we include yesterday’s, definitely over 100 (and the blurb jolts are exciting!!) In fact I’m starting a new release today ’cause I just can’t help myself!! 😀
Biggest blurb jolts? That one there to the left BIG TIME!!! Getting Played is Emma Chase’s latest, and he was her one night stand, and now she realizes he’s her son’s teacher. But that’s not all… she’s pregnant!!! GASP!!! YES PLEASE!!! Also Bound (a human girl in a normal life until she wakes up in a magical land, and she’s the prize being fought over by two warriors – eeeeeep!!!), The Giver of Stars (the latest by Jojo Moyes, and I squeed ’cause the premise is along the lines of another book I LOVED just a couple of months ago – travelling librarians during the depression era – oh you KNOW that’s going to be poignant, and maybe even sometimes scary…), Child’s Play (Danielle Steel’s latest I calling me… she’s a successful single mom, and proud of her grown children, until she finds out the’ve been keeping secrets and it’s a MESS!!!! YES!!), Unintended (not much in the blurb other than it sounds super-angsty – they’re both broken – and I’m pretty sure it an older woman/younger man theme 😀 ), Baking Me Crazy (she friend-zoned him and he’s in love with her), oh and of course this one Sinners are Winners by Lani Lynn Vale had me chuckling (she’s on a blind date at a baseball game and she’s crushing a bit on a stranger, and when the kiss cam comes on, HE KISSES HER in front of her date!!), Down Too Deep (his wife just died, and he’s trying to figure out how to be a single parent, and a single mom of twins decides to help), Oh!! And also, What Happens in Paradise (her husband dies in an accident, and then she finds out he’s been leading a double life – loved by another woman!!)
See? See how crazy today’s list is??? I’m squirreling all over the place they all look SO GOOOOOD!!! YAY US!!! 😀 *claps*

Good morning! It’s 51 degrees here right now and I’m loving it!
It’s definitely cooling down here too!! Gets pretty hot but doesn’t last as long, and in the 80s with a nice breeze (and waking up to low 70s!!!) YAY FALL!!!!
I broke down and turned on our heat this morning.The next week looks like it’s going to be beautiful!
So excited that you listed the release of 2 books by one of my favourite authors Shayne McClendon! Dirty Little Secrets and Feel My Love. Both were amazing reads and I highly recommend reading them.
And definitely check out her other books.
YAY!!! Thank you for letting us know Kelly!! I’ll add your comment/recommendation into the post so everyone sees it. 😀
I’m rereading JA Redmerski’s In the Company of Killers series. I am so in love with these books even though I’ve read them so many times. There is just something about assassins and their mates that hook me. I love this trope! We should make a list Maryse!
My other favorite assassin books are Lea Griffiths, No Mercy series. Annnnd….it just happens I messaged LG and the next book Kiss of the Blade is hopefully coming out in December if not January. I am beyond excited! SQUEEEEE! Annnnnd….I learned there will be a fifth book in the series! OMG! You guys have to read both these series, they are that good! I need more assassin books stat!
On a sad note, I really want to read Jojo Moyes new book The Giver of Stars, but it’s $13.99! Yikes! I fell in love with Susan Fanetti’s Carry The World. Somebody read this book and let me know if you loved it.
GREAT idea, Robyn!!!! I’ll start working on it as we speak. 😀
Happy Wednesday! Like Nay, I had to break down and turn on the heat here. But there’s nothing like the smell which comes from turning on the heat for the first time since the last winter. It’s an odd one but somehow…comforting, ya know?
I finished Park Avenue Player, and it was great! I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I’ll try to be careful here, but the twist was great. I didn’t see it coming until…oh man, this is tough trying to be careful…a certain, erm, interaction between two characters. Then I was all, could it be? No way… Then it was, OMG I’m right! Here’s the only, ONLY downside for me…I didn’t like the “closure” of everything. I know I’m probably in the minority here, but sometimes I like a book to end with some uncertainty. And I would have preferred the uncertainty with this one and all the struggle that would have come with it. BUT! For those who want things wrapped up with full disclosure, it is perfect. Another “it’s not the book, it’s me” sort of thing. 😉 Okay, hopefully I didn’t spoil anything there.
Now onto Inhale, Exhale. Although Getting Played is looking mighty tempting up there. *waggles eyebrows*
Hey Amy! I saw the new honey Naked pallet and thought of you recently. ☺️ How is your new puppy? How old is she now? I haven’t seen you post much since then, I miss you!
Awwwwww Tasha! I’ve missed you as well and your funny rants! *hug*
I just LOVE the Naked Honey palette! I haven’t even used the Naked Heat palette yet (I pretty much just picked it up so I could have a complete set *giggle*) but I know I will use the Honey palette for sure!
And my pup is almost two (she was about a year and a half when we got her…there was some confusion on her age at first, LOL!), and she is a lovable sweetie but dammit if she’s not a headstrong brat at times! Kinda like her mama. 😛
Love your new pretty picture! 😀
Hah! My rants…I’m a total stressy spaz, I drive myself and my family nuts when I start them.
2 is a good age! At least she’s potty trained and likely knows her manners. I think mine started behaving and settling more at age 8. 😂
I think the Naked Honey palette is even something I would wear. It just looks so gorgeous! Not too bright, but comforting and warm. I haven’t worn makeup in months though, so I wouldn’t want to waste money if I wasn’t for sure going to use it. I was looking the other day, I think bc my daughter needed some things for Halloween and I was thinking back to my spazzy purchasing and that’s when I saw it. I tell u, when I get fixated on something. 🙄
Also, thanks for the pic comment! I was thinking that previous picture screamed spring and didn’t fit my current mood. Lol
I do love your new pic too, Tasha!! 😀
OMG I LOVE that burning dust smell when you first kick ’em on. 😀
And also I’m 100% with you on the Park Avenue Player other than I didn’t clue in AT ALL until it smacked me right in the face!!
Yes, Maryse!! The smell is that of burning dust! And I love it. It’s just familiar and comforting.
As for PAP…I would have easily missed it if something niggling hadn’t been there prompting me to re-read that page. Not always the case as I had to re-read the last part of Marrow a couple of times before I finally *got* it. As for the “closure” it was just too perfect for me (but I know it IS perfect for most others ;)) because I love perfectly imperfect endings. Tristan and Danika…perfectly imperfect. Caleb and Olivia…perfectly imperfect. Cathy, Ben, and Arsen (not saying who, if either, she ended up with)…perfectly imperfect. Perfectly imperfect is MY perfect!!
Tasha, I love your “rants”!! They make me feel so normal as I am a spazzy ball of stress. 😉
I just finished Serenading Heartbreak by Ella Fields and it was really good! Nice and angsty and I really felt for all three characters. It felt a little slow at first, but I blame that on my reread of the Carnage series (even better the second time). Not too far in, I couldn’t put it down. There wasn’t a true cliff-hanger, but I need more and I can’t say more without giving the ending away. What’s wrong with me that I love an angsty triangle? I give it 5 stars for angst, and 4 overall.
