Reader Favorites – Leslie M’s Top Books of 2019 List

By 5 Comments

LESLIE’S LIST!!!!!! I always call her my picky book-bud and I love that about her, ’cause I know what she loved, I’ll likely love too. She’s a contemporary romance lover at heart!

And she’s fallen in love with audiobooks… so yay me, since I’m an audiobook newbie but I think this is my year! Leslie, I’m gonna need your guidance. 😉

But first, fun and random tidbit Leslie M highlights from 2019:

I def DO need something different. Same old, same old is driving me bonkers. That’s why I recently enjoyed A Five Minute Life and Under the Northern Lights. Those were unique. Trying “new” genres (in books, movies or tv) is so hard for me…but I am going to try to expand my horizons. 😉 read more

Book Review – Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

By 5 Comments

Regretting You

OH WOW!! 🤩 This one stole my heart. Yep! Still has that signature Colleen Hoover storytelling by way of her beautiful words and introspection and her relatable characters with real life issues. It’s why we love her so.

Kim: Regretting You, it was very relatable which I think is one of Coho’s great talents. She is always a sure thing for me.

But also signature Colleen ’cause it had quite the twist that, yet again – I didn’t see coming until it slapped me right on the face! And it does so early on, too, so you get to live it as they do. read more

By 2 Comments

Christina’s turn! And I’m gonna use this as my secondary TBR list since a bunch of books on here were at the top of my TBR list (like The Kiss Thief & River Wild just to name a few) around the beginning of the year. I forgot ’cause they got pushed down over the last few months with new books that gave me blurb jolts too!! Thank you for reminding me, Christina!! 😀 Plus there are a few in here that I read and loved too!

Hi sorry I’m a little late but here is a list of my 2019 favorites! read more

Reader Favorites – D.G.’s Best Books of 2019 List

By 2 Comments

It’s D.G.’s turn!!! She’s sent over her top 7, but two of ’em are series so we’ve got at least a TOP 10 here. 😉

But first… let’s get to know her better with some of D.G.’s 2019 highlights!

I LOVE a pretty cover…sometimes that is what makes me even look at the book to begin with.

My catnip…bully and arranged marriage.

We go to Panama City Beach at least once a summer since it is only a 3 1/2 hour drive. Even have an invite to go down for the weekend, just not sure if we will make it due to a possible ball game. Ugh! Crossing fingers that game will be a no go. Love getting my toes in that sugar sand!! read more

It’s Northerstar’s turn (and I just realized her real name is Kim, ’cause she signed off that way). She took a different approach to her reading in 2019 and I’m all for it! A short and sweet favorites list!!! 😀 YAY KIM!! I’m so glad you sent us this (and I can’t wait to see what else you love in the upcoming year). *hug*

She says:
