Reader Favorites – Theresa’s Top Favorite Books List:

By 19 Comments

Oh I get a kick out of how Theresa lists her top 10! It looks like a top 10, but it’s actually a top 20plus, ’cause each section has an honorable mention. YAY US!!! Plus she gives us one from each genre. LOVE THAT!

She’s a fairly new member here (at least by way of the comments), but after looking at this list, I know she has GREAT book taste. Just like us! 😀

“Hey Maryse.  I know I am a new member to your blog, but I thought I would send over my favorite book list.  I absolutely love this posting and have gotten so many great recommendations from the past lists that I thought I would give it a shot.

Book Review – Fugly by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

By Leave a Comment

Well this one, I must admit… I chose, by totally judging a book by it’s cover. Oh. And the awesome title. And the blurb. 😛 And, overall… it was pretty good, too! A light read, with a bit of angst, and steam, and OH NO HE DIDN’T moments. What made this one stand out to me, was how unique it sounded ’cause she was not your typical heroine in ANY way. Especially when it came to her appearance. The whole motto is DON’T judge a book by it’s cover. Clever author!!! LOL! read more

Ohhhh you guys look who’s up next in Saturday’s “Reader Favorites” list!!! Marit! My fellow-squeeeeeer!!! I just LOVE her love of books. When she finds one she loves, she is SO enthusiastic! Ecstatic, even!

Okay let’s take a book-look into “Marit”. Here are a few things about her, and some memorable quotes! 😀

  • She’s been with us since 2013!
  • She’s European!

“I’m from Norway”

  • Do you know how they celebrate Easter in Norway? Tee hee!!! We all got a kick out of this tidbit:

“Do you celebrate easter in the US? In Europe we do and It’s right around the corner! In the easter people go to their cabins in the mountains or woods and read enigmatic thrillers while they eat easter eggs filled with candy. We would love for you to write us a reading guide with scary books!” read more

Hollywood Dirt
OMG the magnificence that is this book!!! Contemporary romance perfection, that I read in its entirety with a goofy grin on my face, butterflies in my stomach and absolute exaltation once I reached that perfect P-E-R-F-E-C-T epilogue.
