<— I’m making this one (The Bourbon Thief) “King of the Friday List” today ’cause I keep hearing how absolutely amazing it is!!! And since Jan is in a book funk right now,

Jan: “Darn it! I need another new, good book STAT! … Just something well-written and romantic. Suggestions welcome”

I figured maybe THIS one would pull her out of it. 😉

Plus, my friend Natasha even chose it as her favorite book to giveaway in that recent “Kindle” giveaway where a bunch of us loaded it with our absolute latest favorites this year! And then Monique goes and tell me “This brings new meaning to a book hangover!” <— What what whaaaaaaat??! So now I just gotta know what it is that has so many 5-starring it. I LOVE tried-and-true five star books! read more

8 SATURDAY UPDATES ADDED BELOW!!! You can’t miss ’em. I added them to the top of the list. 😀

Happy Friday and upcoming reading weekend!!!!

Guess what I’m reading now? That’s right… Swear on This Life: A Novel by Renee Carlino <— the next potentially huge hit (I’m already a HUGE fan of this author) coming out on Tuesday and I’ve been hearing from some early reviews that it’s yet another to be considered as the BEST BOOK of 2016. I already hit emotionally-addicting-and-affecting pay dirt with Colleen Hoover’s latest, It Ends with Us: A Novel (<— that one kept me up at night and had me in a book fog so thick I couldn’t see straight, and is MY “best of 2016” choice… at least so far 😉 ) but now, I’m finally ready for more oomph, and certainly willing to take on another breath taker. read more
