“Three Things”:
1.) I watched Jumanji: The Next Level on Saturday and it made me laugh so hard. Cute story, crazy edge-of-your-seat situations that… of course you know they’re gonna get out of, but things get dicey. Oh that is… unless they “die” but they have three lives so you know they’re coming back. Hilarious and fun and sweet!!
2.) My vegetable subscription company (Misfits) has started sending pretty awesome reusable ice packs in their boxes. Well, they’ve always done that, but this time, the ice packs have plant food inside!! Nitrogen-based, and I fed my Peace Lily with one last time, and I swear she looks amazing right now! I love when everything can be recycled or reused (and this use is amazing). Very cool indeed!
3.) I went crazy for “Final Serenade” and I miss those characters all so much. I REALLY got attached, and I think it’s because 1.) It read so well – flowed perfectly and had that real feel. And 2.) Because I was always in her head, I BECAME HER and I can’t wait for #2 to be released so I can get back to my book life. I mean hers. LOL!!! My review to come next. 😀
P.S. JUST A FEW DAYS LEFT TO GET IN ON THIS!! ➔➔➔ TWO MONTHS FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED DEAL!!! <— If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance. 😲👏👏👏 WE ARE LOVING IT! And it’s still going on through the end of April!
LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE 
!!!
Lovewrecked by Karina Halle <— Karina Halle ALERT!! OMG I LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS!!! The grumpy groomsman & the Maid of honor and they’re shipwrecked together!! “…As if being part of the wedding party with Tai wasn’t bad enough, Daisy’s bad luck soon resurfaces when she ends up on a cramped sailboat with Tai and the newlyweds. Which then shipwrecks on a deserted island near Fiji. Okay, so they aren’t completely alone. There’s an oddball research scientist who has been isolated for far too long, they have rundown bungalows as shelter, stores of water and canned food, plus a feral goat named Wilson. It’s Lost…without the smoke monster. But with rescue weeks away, Tai and Daisy realize the only way they’re going to get through this mess is to stop fighting and start working together...”
Mandy: Finished Lovewrecked at 1:00 this morning. I couldn’t stop until I was done. I LOVED it!!!
Maryse: I love “stranded” stories!
Mandy: Me too! This one is lighter than others I’ve read and definitely had some LOL moments.

A heart he had broken. And this time, the only way to fix it was with the truth…”
Why I Still Hate You (So Crazy, It’s Messed Up Book 1) by Monica Bolt <— OOOOOPS with her bully!!! “...Grayson Anderson is the reason why I’m holding a pregnancy test in my hands. How could I have been so stupid? The guy bullied and tormented me for years in high school. Then ten years later, I just… fall into his bed? In my defense, I was wasted...”

Her brother has been an albatross around her neck for years but he’s her only living kin and every time he contacts her for money, she gives it. Only this time she has to pawn something very dear to her heart and she’s worried that it’ll cost her the one thing she loves—her husband…”
Easy Risk: A Boudreaux Universe Novel by Bethany Lopez <— SHE’S BEEN WARNED OFF THE COP... “…Alicia loves her life. Ever since she moved to New Orleans from Michigan, she’s been accepted for who she is and is thriving in The Big Easy. She’s open to love, although not actively looking for it, so when her best friend and roommate asks her to steer clear of Doobie romantically, she readily agrees. After all, she’s never even met him…“

Maryse, I’m so glad you got as attached to Cassy & Frankie as I did!!! I just loved them and can’t wait for the next book!!
Tasha, where are you? I read it because of your high marks….you weren’t wrong!! I just finished The Sun Down Motel and it was AMAZING!! I listened to the audiobook and felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone …or something at times…..so so good!!! I highly recommend!
I’m also reading Amy Harmon’s Where the Lost Wander and loving every word! She is such a versatile writer. I’m always amazed.
YESS!! *claps hands* So glad you loved it and are reading WTLW too!!
1. I read a teeny bit more of Beach Read last night before I fell asleep. Tried to today too, but can’t get past the distractions.
2. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s release day. I’m more of a book collector than a finisher these days. I did get Final Serendade on KU too!
3. I had my hubby start Waco yesterday and he stayed up past midnight to binge it. It’s 6 episodes. He said it was amazing and he thought I’d cry by the end. I’m on episode 4 and I just couldn’t do it last night. It’s pretty heavy and I just wasn’t in the mood. I will, but I gotta be ready.
My favorite souvenir by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland is live!
SQUEEEE!!! OMG THAT COVER!! I just added it in. 😀
Book looks amazing! Hmmm, yea that cover… where do they find these people?… they’re not in my city…are they in yours? 🙂
*snort* 😛
Speaking of cults…anyone who has not read Becoming Calder/Finding Eden by Mia Sheridan needs to!!! It’s very emotional and not a typical Leslie-book, but it’s amazing.
Leslie–I haven’t read those, but they’ve been on my tbr forever. I didn’t realize that’s what they were about.
The dentist is opening back up after May 1st. The governor listed a few different business and such opening early weeks of May. We’ll see how this all goes. 🤞🏻
1. Three new release preorders arrived on my kindle this morning. Whoops! I’d forgotten I’d ordered two of them. Where the Lost Wander (which I think I might read first), A Duke by Any Other Name by Grace Burrowes and another HR, Heiress For Hire by Madeline Hunter.
2. It’s autumn here (fall) but you can already feel that winter nip in the air. Nearly time to start lighting the fire again.
3. Cooking Thai style fried rice tonight with a fried egg on top. We’re trying to eat less meat and have at least one vegetarian meal per week.
I just found all of those and put ’em on tomorrow’s list!! 😀
😀
That sounds so good, Jan! I eat vegetarian most of the time now, but I don’t try to. I just don’t fool with fixing meat. And when I make it for the fam, by the time I get everything cooked, I don’t want any of it. Unless it’s meatloaf. I can eat the HECK out of some of my mozzarella stuffed Italian meatloaf. Especially with some Miracle Whip and American cheese on white bread the next day. Yum!
Miracle Whip? We may have to break up. My mom put that in my hair as a child and I never got over it.
At first I read that as cool whip and was thinking how odd. The re read it and…….basically the same thing.
Love a meatloaf sandwich with mayo!
Happy Monday!
1) I’m still listening to Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier. I’m at 70% and I can’t wait to get back to it. So far it’s REALLY good. And the narration is wonderful!
2) I think I’m ready to start reading romances on my kindle again, and #3 is why…
3) I finished One Last Verse by N.N. Britt (yes, it’s THAT book) earlier today and OMG! SOOO good! The writing is every bit as good as in Final Serenade, if not better, and Ohhhh the angst!!! I can’t wait for everyone else to read it!!
*thud*
This is my favorite comment of the day!!!!
