The Wall of Winnipeg and Me
I know… at first the title totally threw me off. When it comes to this author, I’m always a little perplexed (yet intrigued) by her title choices, and they end up making plenty of sense. But this one makes ALL the sense in the world when you realize “The Wall of Winnipeg” is the nickname of a HUGE 6’4″ 250lb+ football hero (who’s actual name is Aiden). So yes, my friends, we get to fall in love with a sports star, and BOY DO WE EVER!!!!
My Book Reviews
Reader Favorites – Dina’s List of “Ten Books that Stayed with Me…”
This is a recent contribution by Dina, on an older list that I posted a few years ago, of the books that have “stayed with me” all of my reading life (and not just this most recent reading-frenzy books that I go crazy over now). These are the ones that “made” me a life-long reader.
You’re gonna see some oldies but goodies on these lists (today… and upcoming!!)
Maryse’s own personal note: Some sure-fire classics on this particular list (OMG the Thorn Birds BLEW MY MIND when I was… what? 7 or 8 years old?? Yes, I was allowed to watch that crazy drama on TV and was HOOKED and don’t even get me started on Flowers in the Attic. Again… another read that I read maybe wayyyyyy tooooooo young and maybe was a bit too much for a young teen, but that I devoured).
Highly Recommended Psychological Thriller Books
Y’all know I’m on a big psych-thriller kick, and even better, if it incorporates a love story – especially the unconventional kind 😉 *waggles eyebrows*. One that really messes with my heart AND my mind, ’cause that’s the best of both worlds, for me!
Something with a bad guy, maybe even one that we fall for (and get the surprise of our life), or maybe one that we didn’t even realize IS the bad guy/girl… whatever. 😉 I wanna “be” the victim… OR… I wanna “be” the bad-guy. Either POV is full-on chills and thrills.
Reader Favorites – Fabi’s Top Favorite M/M Romance Books List:
We’ve got a few resident M/M romance lovers right here in our reading group, and Fabi is one of our biggest! I think she actually started her M/M kick with us (slowly, at first) and now she’s going full-steam ahead! She is well-versed, now and has found some fantastic books for us to fall in love with! For those that love Fabi’s “book-style” (we do!! :D) also check out her Fabi’s Top Favorite Books List (<— all genres in this one!)
Here’s a little M/M & Fabi history. 😉
Book Review – Slip of the Tongue by Jessica Hawkins
Slip of the Tongue
This book was pretty much everything we love to hate in “forbidden romance” books that involve marital strife and temptation. It was all-at-once disheartening, relieving, passionate and steamy, infuriating and cringeworthy. I was all over the place with these characters, and they were all over the place, with each other.
Cristiane: Jessica Hawkins Slip of the Tongue is wonderful 😀
Amber: Loved this so good!
Kandace: I really want to read Slip of the Tongue. I hope I remember to buy it when it comes out, I saw its on KU too. I’m in the mood for a high angst read.
