Latest Romance Book Releases – 10-25-2022

HI EVERYONE!! HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! 😀 I’m getting our big list together as we speak, so keep checking back while I add more more over the next few hours. And also, since I missed yesterday, here are my…

THREE THINGS:

1.) I’ve been sick all weekend and yesterday and today is my first good-ish feeling day. 🙂 I can finally function again… YAY BOOKS!!

2.) While I was sick, I took advantage of some snuggly-bed reading (at least in the moments I could stay awake). I’m reading The Golden Couple: A Novel by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen (I love these authors together). So far it’s pretty good, I’m curious to know what crazy twist is going to blindside me. It’s not unputdownable but it’s good enough to keep going. 🙂

3.) I’m dying to watch “Smile” (that horror movie in theaters – it looks SOOOO good) and I’m not sure if I want to watch Terrifier 2 as it sounds beyond crazy, and gross and shocking and I’m not much for slasher movies.. but maybe.

BLURB JOLTS!!! The Better Version of Me (<— just found out this is a re-title/new cover/new synopsis but it sounds great – she’s got her perfect life and husband & kids, but she’s hiding a devastating secret!!) Fractured Sky (The Tattered & Torn Series Book 5) (Roommates!! She’s been broken, and he’s grumpy but protective…) Snowed In with the Player (her biggest crush is a football player, and they’re snowed in together!!!)

Don’t forget to check out:

• Adam Kaat’s true story “Life on the Grocery Line: A Frontline Experience in a Global Pandemic” <— Today’s newsletter sponsor! And this one sounds SO good (he was working in a grocery store when the pandemic hit, and boy does he have some stories for us!!)
• Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 10-21-2022 <— In case you missed it.

READER RECOMMENDATIONS & BARGAIN FINDS:

• Ready Player One By Ernest Cline <— SUPER-BARGAIN!!

Kooloo: I love love love the book when I read it years ago and the Audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton (who I had like a major crush on in high school 😉 teehee) was a 5 STAR!!!

Jan: I read Ready Player One when it first came out and really liked it at the time. Lots of cheesy stuff about 80s style pop culture and computer game refs, but I remember it had a fast-moving plot and was an easy, entertaining read.

Sheri: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Wil Wheaton reads the audiobook and is AMAZING!!! I struggled to get into this book when I read it but when I listened to it I could NOT STOP!!! 5 stars on my Goodreads list!
