Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 12-09-2019

December 9, 2019 By Maryse 22 Comments

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone! Today’s early bird releases are ready and I’ll be adding more to it if any new surprises come our way. 😀 Did I miss one? Let me know.

Three things:

1.) I dunno what was up with me this weekend, but while I was productive and got lots of stuff done (mostly Christmasy stuff, and consolidating stuff, playing with electronics and whatnot), but I didn’t cook a thing. I had no motivation to cook. I ALWAYS cook. I LOVE cooking. Now what am I gonna eat for the week? I depend on my “prep” for meals. *sigh* Guess I’ll pick up a rotisserie chicken and some frozen veggies for the next couple of days. I think Thanksgiving dinner prep blew my cooking fuse. 😉 *snort* read more

Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 12-06-19

December 6, 2019 By Maryse 46 Comments

TGIF!!!! Boy do I love Fridays, and I love when the Friday Finds are loaded with reader recommendations, like this one is!!! Some pretty awesome sounding new releases just went live too, including one that was only supposed to go live next week. Surprise!!! 😀

But first… some super-sale memberships you can try (if you haven’t already been a member, that is) 😉 These are still going on as we speak!

➔➔ Three months of Kindle Unlimited for a super-bargain!! Not a member yet? This is for you! Not for me, ’cause I am one. 😉 And I love it.
➔➔ 4 months of Amazon Unlimited Music for a super-bargain <— AMAZING deal! “... This limited time offer provides on-demand, ad-free and unlimited access to 50 million songs on any device via the Amazon Music app...” <— I use my Echo to play mine.
➔➔ 3 months of Audible at a significant discount!! You can get in on this deal until December 31st!!
iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum-Wi-Fi Connectivity, Works with Alexa, Good for Pet Hair, Carpets, Hard Floors, Self-Charging <— STILL MY FAVORITE TOOL EVER! And one of the 12 Days of Christmas Deals right now (much less than what I paid for mine, and this one is a better model!!). P.S. Here’s a next model up iRobot Roomba E5 (5150) Robot Vacuum and then here’s the super-duper model —> iRobot Roomba i7 (7150) Robot Vacuum (all in the 12 Days of Christmas Deals)
Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Echo Show 5 <— AWESOME BUNDLE and part of Amazon’s 12 Days of Christmas Deals

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND !!

Chase The Butterflies by Monica James <— LIVE!!! SOUNDS AMAZING AND POIGNANT & SUPER-ANGSTY from the ugly-cry reviews I’ve only glanced at!! LOVE AFTER LOSS? “…As I attempt to claim back my life, Jude Montgomery enters my world, and things begin to change. I thought running would appease the nightmares, but I soon discover my past won’t let go. Things are not what they seem, and I begin to question the world as I know it. Jude may hold the answers, but will my love for him blind me to the truth?…” P.S. It’s a standalone (no cliffhanger).
The Punk and the Plaything (When Rivals Play Book 3) by B.B. Reid <— B.B. REID’S LATEST IN THIS BULLY SERIES IS LIVE!!! “Jameson and Barbette’s story is a continuation of the events that occurred in The Peer and the Puppet and The Moth and the Flame. For the best reading experience it is recommended that you read these books in order as the plots connect.” P.S. Here’s the reading order.

Tessa: BB Reid’s Peer and the Puppet, OMG, it was awesome. If you liked Fear Me, you’ll love this. It’s not as violent as Fear Me. The, err, issue that Maryse had with Fear Me wasn’t there at all. 🙂 Still ANGST! 🙂 Tons of it. read more

Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 11-22-19

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!! Lots of fun new releases, but even more fun – tried & true reader recommendations (and a ton of ’em including feedback for some recent releases).

<— P.S. I’m about to start that one to the left, in just a few minutes!!! OMG BLURB JOLT FOR ME!!! 😀

We also found some other kinds of sales like:

4 months of Amazon Unlimited Music for a super-bargain. Seriously. I want this but I’ve already been a member so it’s just for new subscribers. *sigh* I WANT THIS!! FOUR. WHOLE. MONTHS!! “... This limited time offer provides on-demand, ad-free and unlimited access to 50 million songs on any device via the Amazon Music app...” <— I use my Echo to play mine.

Leslie M: I am typically not a subscription person…I dont have KU, Netflix, or even Prime. I feel like I have enough bills that I don’t want to pay for anything else unless it’s really worth it. But I DO have Amazon Music and I love it!! Its especially fun if you have the Alexa Show ’cause the lyrics scroll on the screen. To have on demand music with no ads?!?! Totally worth it to me. read more
