Happy 4th of July my friends!!!

And guess what?!! We’re having an awesome giveaway! 😀 No, it’s not a “4th of July” giveaway, BUT it is a celebration of our awesome book-blogger sisterhood, and we’re spreading the love!

Who’s we? Well there’s me (Maryse’s Book Blog), Natasha is a Book Junkie, Vilma’s Book Blog, The Rock Stars of Romance, Angie & Jessica’s Dreamy Reads, and Shh Moms Reading. We’ve become friends over the years, due to our love of books, meeting at book signings, or just chatting online (just as I have become friends with so many right here), and we’re having a fun book-spree of sorts. read more

Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – Happy July 1st!!

July 1, 2016 By Maryse 237 Comments

Happy 1st of JULY (and Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians)!! 😀 I have a nice list of book-goodies for us to play with over the weekend! Some tried-and-trues (like my beloved Travis there to the left) and some new ones (Tara Sivec just released one and the blurb had me snorting!!!). Plus, I included one that there is no way I can read it (even as awesome as it sounds). My poor heart will NOT be able to take it. Still… it’s perfect for the list.

Look what we found! (NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order. Sales listed are for Amazon U.S., however some of the Amazon UK links also reflect the sale!): read more

Monday Early Bird Book Releases & some going live at midnight!

June 27, 2016 By Maryse 96 Comments

I just finished a book (here’s my review of What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty), and this crazy-awesome looking list is just in time for me to choose a new one.

In fact, I think my next one will be from the earlybird section (Sweet Alibi), ’cause OMG it promises everything I love to hate to love in a book. Tee hee! Looks like there’s BIG trouble to be had. BOOK TROUBLE, that is. 😉 And then there’s the one (Brutal Discoveries) with the baker that volunteers at a dangerous prison (and meets TWO men there – GAH!! I love stories that are just asking for trouble!), and the one with the girl that crashes into a famous rock star (I Saw You). Yeah… It’s gonna be hard to choose. HELP!!!! 😀 read more
