HAPPY READING WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!! LOOK AT ALL THE BOOK-GOODIES… in fact…
<— Perfect fit for this Halloween month, don’t you think? IT’S AN APPLE!!!! And since Kooloo is a reading machine this week (month?) and suggested quite a few awesome tried-and-true recommendations for us below, I figured I’d feature one of her recommendations right up here. 😉
Yep. This is just one of her recommendations on today’s list, but it’s LOADED in reader recommendations (a few that I’ve read and loved myself – I included my review links, too). So much to choose from, we simply can’t go wrong.
Take a look at what we found for the weekend!! 

• Gun Shy: A psychological thriller by Lili St. Germain <— LIVE!! PSYCH-THRILLER ALERT!!! *squeeee!!* so many of our favorite authors are releasing psych-thrillers these days and I could NOT be happier!! 😀 “...As the small town mobilizes and searches for newly vanished Jennifer Thomas, one suspect comes to the fore. But did he do it? Or is there something else at play? Something nobody could have anticipated? For Jennifer’s friend Cassie Carlino, the worst is yet to come. As she pins MISSING posters to store windows and joins the search, she begins to suspect that Jennifer’s disappearance might be closer to her than she could have ever imagined…“

At least, she doesn’t want to. Despite undeniable attraction, second chances, and resurrected hope, she doesn’t believe in soulmates, true love, or happily ever after. Not anymore.

• Sack Time by A.M. Willard <— COMEDY ROMANCE ALERT (a doctor and his sick neighbor that doesn’t want his help!)!! Recent release and Marit recommends it!

Marit: I have some good stuff for us as well! Sack Time by A.M Willard! I LOVED IT! I have a weakness for doctors. Ehem  OMG. It’s funny, sexy, and he is a doctor. She is his neighbor and she has an illness. She doesn’t want his help, but he is pushy  I love the feelings this book gave me. It made me feel so feminine. A MUST read ladies!

• Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios <— ANGSTY AS ANYTHING!!! BACK ON THE LIST BECAUSE WE LOVED IT!!! This is one of the latest I’ve reviewed and could not put down, and Robyn just read it and agrees! P.S. Here’s my 4.5 star review!

Robyn: Hi Maryse! I just finished Bad Romance. That was a powerful book that everyone from Jr. High up to Adulthood needs to read! That hit home in so many places. What a relevant and important message. I think you need to put it back on your book recommendation list! Even boys and men need to read this book.
Stacy: It’s so good! Well worth the price.
Amy: Oh, and Bad Romance…this book is just EVERYTHING I needed right now. Every emotion. Every heart clench. Every gut punch. Every reminder of how I was in high school and the relief I’m no longer that way. *says a quick thank-you prayer for hubby*

For those going on a road trip soon, or maybe you’ve got some projects that require both hands this weekend but still allows you to “listen”… check out the free audible trial + 2 free audiobooks deal —>

• AND! Here’s the fun-tool again! —> Find out which of YOUR Kindle books are available as audiobooks at a BARGAIN-PRICE! <— This thing is so cool (Amazon calls it “Matchmaker“)! It’s an Amazon feature, that scans all of your Kindle books and will list all of the ones you have that are also available as an audiobook at a discounted price (not normal audiobook prices). This way, you can switch back and forth, seamlessly between your ebooks and your audiobooks. VERY COOL!
