Hooray! Now I can read Written With Regret. Starting it now. I was waiting for the 2nd.
Jersey Six is next up. Looks good too.
It’s a gooooood day for sure!!! 😀
Many of the KU authors I know choose to release on Thursday instead of the more popular Tuesday. I was recently at Alessandra Torre’s InkersCon and several of the classes suggested Thursday for KU as well.
That’s interesting!! Did they mention why?
I know they avoid Tuesday because that is standard for authors who release wide (less competition) but why Thursday? I don’t remember. I looked at my notes and just have “Thursday” with a big circle around it. 🙄 I have all the classes available digitally so when I watch them again I’ll let you know. Now I’m curious too!
Just got more intel! They avoid Tuesday because of congestion (and most likely Monday too due to books dropping early) in favor of the less congested end of the week, in part because KU readers (who tend to be fast, rabid readers) have finished their Monday/Tuesday books and are looking for something to read over the weekend.
Makes total sense!!!
Think I’ll start the Written with Regret duet, although Parallel and Jersey six look good too!!! Loving all the KU releases! 🙂
Also I read samples of The Friend Zone and Love You Love You Not. Maybe it was my mood but while I loved the cover of LYLYN, I did not like the writing of either book. 🙁
I want to read jersey six!
I wanna read Jersey Six!!
I’m currently watching Five Feet Apart and love it! But also, why am I torturing myself this week?!!
Holy Moses…It’s feels like FRIDAY!!! hehehe.
Jewel E Ann??? Oh… I’m all over that! Love her writing!
I just finished written with you and it was an amazing duet. Both books were jaw droppers. It had me until the very end lots of twists and turn and the feels and more feels and some angst. Perfection.
