HAPPY NOVEMBER!!! I hope everyone’s Halloween was fun and fruitful (or candy-full) π We had quite a few dinosaurs in our neighborhood yesterday (including one of our own). LOL! The little kids wanted to pose with them so bad. It was adorable. Some great costumes and lots of happy faces. I’m, not used to it, because where I lived before moving here was a beautiful community, but it was more of a retirement community and we never got any tick-or-treaters. Last night (in my new sweet neighborhood) it was non stop for a good 2-3 hours!
BLURB JOLTS!! Keeper of Enchanted RoomsΒ (he inherited the house, and then it locked him inside!! And now she has to move in with him...)
The RewindΒ (exes end up at the same wedding together, and then wake up married, with no memory of it!!), The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks (she’s not allowed to sell contemporary or recent books!! GASP!!) Levi (grumpy but popular and now he’s her tutor!) Someday, Maybe: A NovelΒ (she found her husband dead after suicide)
Tasha J: Wow, Keeper of Enchanted Rooms sounds so good! The Rewind and Before I Let go are add ons for Book of the Month this month and I got Before I let Go. Colleen Hoover blurbed it and it didnβt sound as angsty as The Rewind which fit my current mood so I snagged it.
Maryse: Yessss they sound amazing and different! Also, I’m dying to read Before I Let Go!! I can’t wait until it finally releases!

Wow, Keeper of Enchanted Rooms sounds so good! The Rewind and Before I Let go are add ons for Book of the Month this month and I got Before I let Go. Colleen Hoover blurbed it and it didnβt sound as angsty as The Rewind which fit my current mood so I snagged it. I got The Wilderwomen for my main pick, but if not for the add ons that sounded so good, I may have skipped this month. Too many grief focused.
Yessss they sound amazing and different! Also, Iβm dying to read Before I Let Go!! I canβt wait until it finally releases!
I’ve been wanting to read Scandalized by Ivy Owens and it is now on KU! Yeah!!
Oh that one sounds goooood!!
