➔➔➔ Get Maryse’s Book Blog updates delivered by email (you’ll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
Good morning! I’m still giggling over the “being a mother of sons” comments from yesterday’s post! 🤣
LOL!!! That one took me by surprise. I had no idea!! LOL!!!
This is my first time on here all week, so I had to go back and look. I’m also a mom of 3 boys, and it’s all so true! That brings back memories of having to tell them to keep their hands NOT to themselves at times. Especially out in public! 🤣🤣🤣
Good morning! I was so looking forward to Regretting You and even better, it’s KU. But, I have a whole bunch of books I still haven’t read on KU and I don’t want to send any back before I get to them. I so miss a good Colleen Hoover. And I added The Glittering Hour as well bc I saw it spans the 1920s and early 1940s and coincidentally, a couple weeks ago I spent a good while searching for books set in the 1920s. I had a craving for some flappers, a speakeasy, the whole vibe. And then I saw this and thought, it must be fate! But, I think I’ll start Unspeakable Things so I can read something I already have AND the reviews have me itching to read it.
I’m gonna buddy read Unspeakable Things with you!!!! Let’s start it! 🙂
Yes!! I miss these, though I never participated in many. I’m only 4% in. ☺️
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Unspeakable Things!!
I’m attempting to listen to Regretting You right now since the audio is free with KU, but curse my pickiness about female narrators doing male voices! I may have to read it instead.
Hey Maryse!! Yummy list! I can’t wait to dig into Regretting You!!! Best Man by Katy Evans has my interest piqued too!!
I want to give a shout out for two releases that I absolutely LOVED this week! Kelly Elliott’s Never Enough was amazing…sexy bull riding single dad with baggage…mmm catnip!! I can’t say enough about how immersed I became in this book! I highly recommend!!
Also, Violet Fire by Kelsey Quick was the start of a really exciting new vampire series! Let me just say that I was hesitant going in and afraid that it would be very average. Imagine my surprise when it was fabulous! It did leave off with a little cliffy and there’s no date for the second book yet (which has me anxiously biting my nails) – – but I REALLY enjoyed her storyline!! Definitely check it out if you’re up for a paranormal story blended with a dystopian world!
YESSSSSS Michele G!!! Never Enough sounds AMAZING and I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by her. YAY!! I’m so glad you told us. 🙂
Oh good. Reading the new Odette Stone book and then Kelly Elliott’s is up next. I am a sucker for a widowed Dad.
Ooh the Kelly Elliott one has potential. I like widowed dad stories too. And it’s on KU. Nice.
Thanks, Michele! I definitely want to read the vamp one. I’m trying to get caught up in the BDB series and I’d love another vamp series to read. It’s been a long time. The other sounds great too!
So many books! And Christmas is coming! *happy sigh* And I’ve finished work for the summer break (about 6 weeks). Yay!!
You know how sometimes something catches your eye and you misread it and do a double take? Well, I was flicking through the list of books up there and thought I saw one called Bumhugged. Whaaa???? But no. Oops. It was really Humbugged. Bwah ha ha. Made myself choke on my own coffee.
What is Christmas like in Australia? I’m sure you’ve said, but I can’t recall. Do u get hot cross buns? Or is that Easter? I’ve never had them, but would love to try. We get scarves/mittens/gloves and sweaters and such for cold weather here as gifts, but I’m curious if you guys buy tees, tanks and sunnies. Do u sip iced drinks rather than coco? This is probably what people in southern states do, I just don’t think of it often. Any special traditions? Just curious. ☺️
Well. There was nothing since the vomit episode until last night, when I woke to poo juice everywhere. *sigh* This must be some kind of delayed bug.
On the bright side, my Christmas shopping is TOTALLY done!! I had to get a new mattress cover today though, cuz turns out, ours is no longer water proof. 😒
Wrapping is 1/2 done!!
And I’m 23% into Unspeakable Things. I think it’s easy to connect with Cassie and it’s an engrossing read. I’m looking forward to jumping back in tonight.
Keto peeps (I *think* this is keto friendly): we just made this tonight and it was delish! I used a whole cabbage which is more than 4 cups so next time I’ll add 2 more oz of cream cheese and 1/2 a pound of ground sausage (def think it needs some sausage) but it’s a fantastic base! https://mylifecookbook.com/slow-cooker-low-carb-mexican-casserole/

😀 !!!!
Viki has released 4 eps of My Ahjussi! But not translated yet.
So, korean dramas are usually released 2 shows a week on consecutive days.
I have to say that this is not really a binging type show. It really reminds me of a book that takes it’s time building up and unfolding. The kind that though you grow to love it and maybe dont notice you are falling for it you want to take a breath and savor between chapters.
Gah, this makes me nervous. It is such a different show and really takes it’s time, but I loved it so.
Anyway how do we want to consume this?
Okay I found the list of all the shows here that we can play: https://www.viki.com/tv/35740c-my-mister?locale=en#modal-episode
But I need to wait for the subtitles since I don’t speak Korean … *yet* I can’t wait!!!!
