King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett Sinclair came out a few weeks ago and today the 2nd book released Queen of Myths and Monsters. It’s been years since I read a vampire book and was intrigued by all the hype. It’s great!!! I’m rereading it now so I can jump right in on the second book. Finally a good one.
Whoops, Scarlett St Clair is the author and there will be a 3rd book.
YAY Susan!! I’ll look it up right now!! π
I read like 5 pages of my book yesterday and I call that a win. π Honestly, my focus has been atrocious so really, I feel a little better about it. The Circus Train by Anita Parikh. Iβd love to get to the meat of it to really know if Iβm super into it or not, too early to tell so far. I donβt think Iβve even made it a full sample length, but so far Iβm intrigued.
And! I even watched a show last night! I watched the first and maybe second episode a while ago, but I decided to pick it back up and give it another go, and I think Iβm gonna continue. Itβs Ghosts and Iβm watching on Paramount+.
Ooooh ghosts!!! I need to look that up. I’m loving the Paramount+ app!
Itβs a more lighthearted, fun comedy. I like the odd band of characters.
Some recent reads
Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid – I really liked this quick novella about a woman who suspects her husband is having an affair. Story keeps you on your toes. Stellar writing by Reid. 4β
Monday Girl & Someday Girl (Duet) by Julie Johnson – I had so much fun reading this Duet. Set in Hollywood, it’s about the making of a film. Fantastic characters – actress Kat, actor Grayson, best friend Harper, producer Wyatt. First book is great, even if a bit slow. Second one moves more quickly – has more complexities, twists and turns, and even more emotions. Writing not fluffy and sometimes downright beautiful . 4.5β
βIβm waiting for the right girl.β
βWhat if she never comes along?β
βShe will.β
βYou could be waiting a long time.β
βIt doesnβt matter how long I have to wait. Because Iβm waiting for my wife. And, however long it takes her to find me, I know sheβll be worth every second.β
βοΈ Here’s my line-up for January reads. βοΈ

Maryse, Just wondering whether you’ve received any other lists this year?
I have received 2 lists so far (and Nancy is sending me hers but only closer to the new year… – she is in overtime Holiday mode right now). LOL! I think a lot of us are.
So I will be posting them as I receive them (was just waiting for this new week to start). π
great – good to know. thanks Maryse!
