Happy Tuesday! Cold and rainy/dreary here. Usually, my fave, but not a good motivator for the cleaning that needs to take place today. I’ve been deep cleaning little things here and there for over a week now, but the daily maintenance (and then some) has fallen waaay behind and I have to have it nice by Thursday bc we’re doing my daughter’s bday sleepover Friday. No pressure. 😅 I dread this time every year bc she’s a big ta-do kinda girl and I am not. It’s always a big production, I feel. But, she has fun so I sacrifice my sanity for a bit.
I’m still kinda funky over finishing Addie LaRue. I feel so fulfilled, just the perfect read for this time of year and SO beautifully written. The years she spent making this (almost 10) really show. But, I still have feelings and thoughts! I wanna discuss. Lol! So, I started Fallen by Mia Sheridan, and so far so good. The barest of starts, but promising. And then I got a sample of The Golden Boys (from a recent post) and I was going to get a sample of that paranormal you were reading, Maryse, so it didn’t get lost on the internet, but I can’t find it. It was Clayton or Colton, right? Author?
Clayton!!! 😀
And I’m not a big ta-da person either (anymore)… I like quiet and peaceful and zen. Boy have I changed from my teenage & college years.
I want to read Addie LaRue so bad, so I think that might be my text. Then we can chat!!
Yes!!! Please do!! I know you will ❤️.
Found it! I think I saw it earlier and I thought, Wildflower series? No it can’t be that. But, it was! Thanks!
Yep!! That’s the one. Sometimes the writing is incredible and sometimes, it lacks just a little, you know? BUT!!!!!!
The actual scenes and emotions and intensity of the unrequited love, and possible love triangle and possible becoming the other woman (when essentially SHE IS THE MATE!!! And should NOT be considered the other woman.,..) *ooooomph* And the rejection… On many counts. INCREDIBLE.
I have no idea yet… still reading, but all sorts of issues and potentials.
I just finished Rocket Science and loved it!! Ended as cute as it began. I think I’m going to start her other book tonight.
Hello, Thank you soooooo much for this recommendation.
You’re welcome! Be prepared to laugh and swoon!
Everything Girl?
Yes I’m starting that one. Just downloaded it!
Loved it! Happy reading!
Thanks!
R, I love that you were going to email Leslie a book rec.
I email her recs every time I think of one. Someday, one’s going to work!
Thanks R for the recommendation! Just finished it and loved it! Also about to start her book as well!
I’m so glad you loved it!! I haven’t had much time to read but hope to get into the other book tonight.
I am going to read the Kylie Scott novella. A pity it’s just a novella not a full length. Novellas can be frustrating – you just get into them then bang! they’re done. But I enjoyed the Stage Dive series so will read this addition.
I am also going to check out the Sarah Lark books – might go back to the first one in the series. New Zealand history. Looks interesting, but I hope there’s enough romance for me.
That Sarah Lark one sounds incredible!!!!
Agree about novellas…has to be a special reason to read those.
Just re-read Lick this weekend as a ‘comfort book” even better this time around…
Hi ladies! I just wanted to say thanks to mony for recommending the Rose Gardner series. I started book one awhile back and got distracted or something. I’m glad I picked it back up. It’s a great series. Mony, have you read the Kathleen Turner series?? One of my favorite series!!!!!
I think she’s got two series (Rose Gardner) so I need to create a post for her second one too!
Yay!!!!!!!! Thank you!
So glad to hear you’re enjoying that series Lisa! The books just get better & better as the series progresses (can’t tell you why 😉). I’ll be starting the second series soon-ish…can’t wait.
If you liked this one, The Island Chaptal Series is also fabulous! As is the Storm & Silence Series…
I’m starting a similar one by a new-to-me author, Blair Babylon, called the Runaway Billionaires series. Just read book #2 & #3 (never seem to read in sequence) and wow! Will be posting more on that one… ☺️
I did start the Kathleen Turner series and for some reason it fell by the wayside – too many books! Thanks for the reminder!
Maryse thanks bunches for recommending The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre!! Couldn’t put it down!! Lots of emotions!!
YAY!!!! Right??? Intense and deep, and amazing. I’m so glad you loved it too! I LOVE that author. Have you read anything else by her?
I think Hollywood Dirt is the only other one I’ve read and of course loved it too!!
Remember how I said I couldn’t buy anymore? I was spending way too much? Yeah…then I saw Rachel Higginson is releasing a fantasy 😲 just next week, read an excerpt and preordered. 🤦♀️ I’m so looking forward to reading it though! 😂
Ohhhhh!! YES! I just added it to the preorders. Thank you for reminding me. 😀
Maryse have you read Mia Sheridan new book Fallen ? It different from her other books. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. They need to make a movie out of this book! Spooky and has romance , suspense and so many twist and turns. Great book!!
I haven’t yet but I will. UP MY CREEPY ALLEY for sure!!! 😀 Thank you for recommending it to me Teresa. 🥰
I always click Sophia Kinsella. Looking forward to her new release “Love Your Life ” she is a few of the Authors who never fail to make me laugh. Our souls need laughter. Especially in 2020.
You are so right about that. And the book I’m reading right now is SUPER-angsty. But I’m loving it. I will need something fun right after though.
I just finished Sorrow by Tiffanie DeBartolo. Her writing is extraordinary subtlety. All the feels. I felt a kinship to the book since I live about 8 miles from the library. It was meant to be the book and I.
OH WOW!!! I LOVE THAT!!! Thank you so much Liz. I was wondering if we’d get feedback soon on it.
Love the blast from the past section! I’ve been finding new things to read there that I must have missed the first time around.
YAY!!! Thank you for letting me know, Adele! It’s been fun for me to reminisce over the awesome stuff I used to squee over. I still “feel” those same feelings when I re-read my review. 😂
Guess what comes out tomorrow?? *eeeep!!* The Witches!!! The new one with Anne Hathaway. Oh my, I’m SO excited! I remember watching the first when I was my daughter’s age at a friend’s house and it was gloriously spooky, but like, acceptable for my age spooky rather than Pet Semetary. I could sleep w/the lights on. 😂 I think the updated graphics will attract my own kids more. And a fun one for the sleepover. I’m watching it first though, to check it out. 😉 Which means, I have to get HBOMax for a short time. What else is recommended on there?
Also, for a Netflix rec…The Babysitters Guide to Monster Hunting was super fun to watch as a family. I hope they make another. My daughter and I read the book a couple years ago.
Some recent reads…apologies if any are repeats…can’t remember. 🤷♀️
Can we create Lost Marbles Wednesdays?

Mony I love that you are keeping FLT alive.
I love that too!! <3
FLT “ To my Blue-Jay: You looked so peaceful I didn’t have the heart to wake you.” The Golden Boys by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne
I know, I was gonna stop buying books for a bit, BUT- 1. I couldn’t resist after reading the sample and 2. It was only .99. So, I got a deal!
that’s quite beautiful…
yup, .99 means it’s actually free 🙂
Not into cheating in my books but actually fell in love with Becoming His Mistress!! Another great recommendation that I already had in my library.
Oh, I loved Deeper and Harder so much. Still maybe not the best titles though. I wish she’d written more from that world.
