HAPPY MONDAY!! Another new weeks and another batch of brand new book releases! 20 on today’s early bird list, and it looks like tomorrow’s Tuesday new release list is gonna be AMAZING!!
THREE THINGS:
1.) Spent Saturday on a pontoon boat & the beach (and mostly right in the water). So much peace and fun at the same time.
2.) I tried paddle boarding, and flipped off of it a few times. Backwards… not so graceful. 😂 But hilarious! I’m am the clumsiest girl ever. My back muscles are feeling every bit of it right now.
3.) Loaded up on sunscreen twice, so while I have a few areas that are slightly red, for the most part, no burn! YAY ME!!

Hey Maryse, While trying to find my next read, I was checking the list’s here and didn’t see one for Highlander/Scottish type book recommendations. Am I over looking/missing it? Need something besides the Outlander series. Thanks
Great idea!!! I have a historical romance list (probably a bunch on there) but I will create a focused list. 🙂
Any of your own favorites that you’d recommend?
See above as I put my reply in the wrong spot. 🤣🤣🤣 just how my day has been…..
I looked back through my Goodreads and the only series I apparently liked enough to leave a comment was the Kaitlyn and the Highlander series by Diana Knightley. I didn’t have many because it is not something I usually read. I had a couple from the Highland Brides series by Lynsay Sands but no comments. Just looking for some top recommendations from everyone.
Okay that will be my next project. 😀
1. Just finished the Bedwyn Saga series by Mary Balogh. It was fabulous and I’m in love with the Duke of Bewcastle.
2. Been taking spring walks in my neighbourhood. We finally have flowers! – tulips🌷, daffodils, forsythia, magnolia and crababple tree blossoms… Oh, and tons of Canada geese honking during the night while flying north. 😊
3. Canada has finally received increased covid vaccine supplies & just reached a 40% adult vavcination rate this W/E, with an estimated 500,000 vacinations per day. 💃
That is GREAT news Mony!
And your walk sounds wonderful. 😀
I’m in love with the Duke of Bewcastle too. One of my fav book husbands.
🙂
Thanks for always including my new releases! I appreciate it so much!
YAY!!! My pleasure. 😀
Hi, Maryse! I can’t believe you went paddle boarding! I’ve always thought about trying it, but I’m a fraidy cat when it comes to going too far out in the water.I have to tell you about a few amazing books that I read recently. I’m 30% into The Warlords by Gena Showalter! It’s my first book by this author and I’m truly into it. Lots of Greek mythology in it. I love a book that leads me to researching new info. Now I must rave about R. Lee Smith’s The Last Hour of Gann!!!!! OMG, Maryse. Addison Cain posted about tin her book group, way, way, way back before Covid interrupted our lives, but I recently broke it out and it was soooo worth it! She wove a great story that is so different from what I’ve been reading in PNR. It’s long but good.I’ve been on a wolf shifter and Viking binge and discovered Leia Stone! Holy smokes, Wolf Girl was so good but ends in a cliffy. I then read her Matefinder series and absolutely loved it. Melanie Karsak’s Shield Maiden series is great as well. I’ll list a few others that were really good. I had a few dbf’s that sucked soooooo bad, lol but most of what I’ve read over the last 2 months has been great.
Alpha’s Claim: Amelia Hutchins
Rabid: Ivy Asher
Wild Heart: C. R. Jane
Wild Moon: C. R. Jane
Shadow Beast Shifter series: Jaymin Eve
We Only Have Til Monday: Cara Dee
The Controllers series: L. V. Lane
Don’t Kiss The Bride: Carian Cole
Communion: Ella James
Corrupted: Addison Cain
Tales From Verania: T. J. Klune
If anyone can recommend some Wolf Shifter books, I’d appreciate it.
OMG it was SO fun, Joy!!! If only someone had recorded my fumbles, I would have totally posted them. 😂
And thank you SOOOOO MUCH for this list!! I’ll include it in one of our roundups this week.
Joy, I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for or not, but I enjoyed the first couple of books in Hettie Iver’s Werelock Evolution series. This reminds me, she has a few more I haven’t read yet.
I love that series!!! There’s one book that I need to read and I’d forgotten about it. I’m glad you mentioned it!
Also, I have to agree with Joy’s love of The Last Hour of Gann! It was so good….so long…but original, unique and immersive.
I wanted more Meoraq, lol. I wanted a bit of what life would have been like after they went to his home.
Hi Joy, I also recently read Leia Stone’s Wolf Girl #1& 2, and Matefinder (striking book cover). Nice find. Great stories, and loved the alpha Hs in both series. Reading Alpha Girl (Wolf Girl #3) as a group read in June. 🙂
Hi Mony, I’m looking forward to Wolf Girl 3. I haven’t touched it yet because I’m waiting for part 4 to be released at the end of July. I’m also waiting (impatiently, lol) for Amelia Hutchins to release Becoming Her Monster. The last book in the series was published in 2019.
Will be checking out Hutchins’ Alpha’s Claim. Great to discover a good PNR…not always easy.
Hi Joy. I loved The Last Hour of Gann too. Read it a few years ago after a rec right here on this list, and just, wow.
If you’re into wolf shifters, have you tried the Seven series by Dannika Dark? I really liked those ones.
Thanks, I’m definitely going to check it out!
I’m posting your amazing list on tomorrow’s Friday Finds, Joy. 😀
Good morning, I am looking for some great fast, healthy dinner ideas. You have often been my inspiration! Starting the Kristian Ashley Knight series. But am trying to decide if I read The Set Filler first before the 4 series books. Just finished Yes & I love you by Roni Loren. A fun romantic easy read. Not heavy for my stressed out life.
This is my newest fave. It’s crave-able but probably not for picky eaters if you have kids. It’s fast, easy, and under 500 calories, but really you can make it less. I think it feeds at least 4 hungry people (instead of the 3 in the nutrition guide) and you could definitely go lighter on the dressing. Don’t leave anything out though. https://bit.ly/3o5X2uu
Thanks we will be trying this tonight!
OMG that looks amazing! I love salads…
Lately I’ve been a salad addict!! It’s all I ever want to eat when I get home from work… but with proteins like chicken. 😀
