<— #1 ON ALL OF AMAZON KINDLE RIGHT NOW!!! 😀 HAPPY MONDAY!!! Time to build this early bird list (I don’t think it’s going to be a huge one. SCRATCH THAT!! 34 books on today’s list!! 😀 Some amazing ones that sound like fun!) Keep checking back as I will continue to add for the next hour or so. 😀
It’s ready, and now I’m going to work on posting a few more “Best of 2021” lists!!. AND tomorrow, looks like it will be an AMAZING release day!! YAY US!!
THREE THINGS:
1.) I can’t wait to jump into Vi Keeland’s latest book release The Summer Proposal. Total blurb jolt for me (quite a “meet-cute” indeed!!)
2.) It was a very calm and relaxing weekend. I got a lot of stuff done around the house, including beta tank cleaning x 2!
3.) I am ADDICTED to these (Fever-Tree Sparkling Grapefruit <— and it is so low calorie), and truly an amazing grapefruit flavor. These are not really KETO because there is a bit of natural sugar in it from the grapefruit juice but so refreshing!! I bought a bunch from my last Misfits Market order (on sale big time)!

He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. You guessed it: Dimples. Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play. And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood. He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex...”

That sparkling grapefruit sounds good! I usually don’t like grapefruit flavored drinks because it’s cloying. That sounds like it isn’t!
1. I stayed up way too late watching football and then The Challenge last night. Regretting it today!
2. I finally got my tree down and once again my living room is covered in glitter. *sigh*
3. I made the bests buttermilk cornbread of my life yesterday and I don’t know what I did differently other than use “fake buttermilk” since I didn’t have any. It was soooo good. And now I’m hungry.
It is super delicious… and the actual grapefruit flavor is real and only grapefruit juice. It’s supposed to be a mixer for a tequila infused hibiscus drink thingie, but I just drink the grapefruit sparkling soda all by itself.
I actually didn’t do a Christmas tree this year. I’m bummed that I didn’t, it always makes me so happy but I just didn’t have the energy for it…
We do that too. We tend to put one up every other year. I’m with you; I’m happier when I do it but it’s such a pain.
1. I finished The Hawthorne Legacy over the weekend and now I wait impatiently for August’s book 3. I loved those books!
2. Am now trying to read Truly Devious. Not wholly invested yet, but it’s early.
3. Watched West Side Story over the weekend and was slightly disappointed. I dk what I totally expected. I think I forgot how corny the romance was in it. There were some cool song and dance numbers, but overall, I’m glad I didn’t wait to buy it.
Oh I watched it for the first time a year ago, with my friend’s daughter because she was hooked on it (and she’s in her high school band and that was their theme last year).
Yep… I didn’t go crazy for it. LOL!! But it is pretty tragic and dark at times… holy moly!
See, I remember loving it in high school or jr. high when we watched it, but not the same feelings as an adult. I do believe this version is much better than the original. Just, I like Grease better. 😂🤣
Oh mine was the original… now I’m curious about the new version!!!
And yes, I still love watching Grease (only the first one). It’s still awesome.
Don’t be deterred by my poor review, lol. Everything I’ve heard has been outstanding.
1. After days of dreary weather & taking stroller walks where everything looks very grey – a feeling that this might be Dementors’ work 🙂 , we have had nice sunny weather & hope has been restored.
2. I think I’m reading too much. Guess it’s a way to unwind after nannying 9-5 & not being home. Enjoying Darling Venom by Parker S. Huntington. Definite vibes of Torin by K. Webster. Loving it.
3. I’m going to my airbnb tonight for a one-month stay – a few blocks from my daughter’s house. Nice surprise, has a lovely hot tub. Will go in evenings in the dark (no bathing suit) -17 C here. LOL
Oh SO LUCKY for the airbnb!!!! What a wonderful vacation.
Happy Monday everyone! Maryse, I’ve heard good things about Misfits Market and I’m curious to try it. Do you think it’s worth it?
1. I spent the weekend watching The Witcher series and I love it! I have three episodes of season two left which I’ll be finishing in the next day or two. I mean…. you can’t go wrong with Henry Cavill!
2. I’ve got some early spring cleaning projects that I’d like to start, but I haven’t been feeling it. I blame the cold. All I seem to want to do is cuddle up with my warm blanket and a hot cup of cinnamon tea in the evenings and read a book or watch tv. Hopefully, I’ll find my motivation soon.
3. I finished the Rochester trilogy by Skye Warren. It’s basically a modern re-telling of Jane Eyre with a few twists. It was a fantastic series and I highly recommend! I was in a reading funk for a bit and thankfully this series pulled me out of it. Not sure what to read next. Like you Maryse, I may jump on Vi Keeland’s new book. I’m in the mood for a good light-hearted read and you can never go wrong with one of her books.
Maryse, what’s the best way to get you my top reads of 2021?
Hi Cristina!!
I’ve been with Misfits ever since the pandemic started so that I could reduce my need for groceries. They are FULLY stocked with amazing fruits and veggies, and now sell a full grocery list of items (snacks, canned goods, fresh meats and cheeses and milks).
The minimum order is $30 and if you don’t reach that much one week, they just don’t ship anything or bill you (so essentially, you can choose to “skip” weeks that way.
And I’d LOVE your list!! Send it to me at [email protected] 🙂
Thanks for the info! I think I’m going to give it a try! 🙂
I’ll have by Best of 2021 list to you soon!
I used the treadmill today! My first time ever on one, period, and it was pretty easy. I’m super out of shape so I started slow and didn’t have too much time so did just under 30min, but- I had motion sickness afterwards. Anyone ever experience that? Tips?
I’ve never had that happen before! I’ve been a little dizzy getting off when I push too hard, but it subsides quickly. I’d just suggest slowing down a little more and maybe start with 15-20 minutes per day until you get used to it.
I will be taking it slow and easy for a little while for sure. It only lasted for 10 min or so. I’m gonna experiment with a couple things today to try and improve it. Like, looking straight ahead and holding on periodically. 🤷♀️
heads up for audible lovers they are having a sale and I was able to buy 7 from my wish list for $5 a piece!!! 2 days left!!! I will have to let you know if any are good!!!
Hi Aimee!
Can you link me to it? I can’t find the sale. Thank you!!!
