Throwback Thursday: On This Day on Maryse’s Book Blog - Jan 8th...

IT’S TIME FOR INSTALLMENT #2 of our official Throwback Thursday post.

You may be wondering what my deal is with the whole “angel” theme today. 🙃 😇 Well… going back through my posts, I see there was a guardian angel reader question, and also a post where I lost my mind over an angel & a vampire book cover, of all things, back in 2011 from a series that I loved like CRAZY. And thinking about it now, I realized that whole entire time period, I absolutely LOVED books about angels and humans (or vampires) or fallen angels falling in love. I devoured quite a few.

So… I was inspired!!! 😉 P.S. If you love angel romance in all of its various ways, here’s everything on my blog featuring angels, and fallen angels falling in love!

Hrmmm… though there are a couple of amazing alien romance books down there that I loved too. Maybe I should have turned myself into an alien? Tee hee!! Okay next time. We’ll see…

Okay now…

Reader Favorites – Jen C’s Top Ten Books of 2018 List – January 8th 2019

Jen C: My goal for 2018 was to be brave and read more of the “angsty” books I’d been avoiding in favour of a whole heap of romantic comedies. I still read a whole bunch of romcoms (and LOVE them) but I also tackled some books I’d been too bawk bawk to start (Atheists Who Kneel and Pray, I’m looking at you).

Book Review – Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout – January 8th 2012

Daemon… not such a romantic. Nope. And yet… *sigh* (oh and… DON’T ask him if he sparkles).

“Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys.”

Heh. You just gotta read it, and you’ll see where I’m coming from.

MUST READ Obsidian. MUST! 5 stars!
