P.S. You can check out
Simply Calphalon Nonstick 10 Piece Cookware Set (SA10H) <— Here’s an early “Cyber Monday” deal (or should we consider it a late “Black Friday” deal?) This Calphalon set is on super-sale!! Almost 4000 reviews and it’s 4.5 stars!!!!! WOW!
Fire TV Stick with 1st Gen Alexa Voice Remote, streaming media player <— I cut the cable over a year ago, and now I’m strictly Firestick & Roku (I absolutely BOTH!! And I have one for each room), but my Firestick is one of the very first ones and IT. IS. Slowwwwwww to load up. Supposedly this one is worlds faster, so at this price? I’m upgrading!!!! 😀 YAY ME!! Plus it has the voice command thingie in it.
Breville BNE800BSS Nespresso Creatista Plus Coffee Espresso Machine, 1, Silver <— OOOOOOHHHH fancy!!! Especially for the coffee lover/gourmet. And quite a significant price cut today!!
Nay: Maryse–last night my son showed me the Instant Pot you’ve got posted above. My crock pot is over 22 years ago, so it may be time for a change!
Victoria: I do love mine!! Do you use the pressure-cooker function? I use it for bone-broth and rice.
Maryse: I only use it for pressure cooking. I should try slow cooking. Oh!! I sautéed veggies in it too…
Victoria: Yes. That’s almost all I use it for too. But hubby makes his slow-cooked chicken in there and browns it first with the saute function.
SHARK ION Robot Vacuum R85 WiFi-Connected with Powerful Suction, XL Dust Bin, Self-Cleaning Brushroll and Voice Control with Alexa or Google Assistant (RV850) <— MINE IS A ROOMBA but I LOVE it, and use it every single week (I used to let it run every day but it does such a good job that I don’t need to anymore). The proof is in the pudding… or, dust bin collector-thingie. Now that I know how convenient and efficient these are, I couldn’t live without it. One less job that I have to do. YAY ME!!!
OHHH!!! Here are the iRobot Roomba 650 Automatic Robotic Vacuum (Certified Refurbished) (refurbished) but for those of you specifically wanting THIS brand, this is an AMAZING price!!!
23andMe DNA Test – Health + Ancestry Personal Genetic Service – includes reports on Health, Wellness, Ancestry & More <— I did mine!! And then I got my mom, sister and aunt to do theirs. Guess what!? We are confirmed related (with the exact percentages and DNA matches and everything)! LOL!!! But no, it showed me SO much more than that (like genetic markers for certain potential issues or cool stuff). And while my mom’s family always thought they had Native American in them, this test confirmed they were 100% European, no ifs, ands, or buts!! HOWEVER I DO have Native American in me!! 😀 Must have come from my father’s side, and now I need to get him and my brother to do this kit!
Kenmore Washer & Dryer bundles!! I don’t need these (mine are LG – my washer is a top loader – and I LOVE them and they sing to me… tee hee!!!), but these are amazingly priced today, and might just make someone’s day! 😉

- Before We Were Yours: A Novel by Lisa Wingate <— Tasha J recommends it!
Tasha J: Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate <- not a quick book, but so good.
Michele G: I would like to second Tasha’s recommendation of Before We Were Yours as a palette cleanser 🙂 It was a really good book and a little different from what we all read most of the time.

A homebody to the extreme, all it took was one night out for her anti-social life to tailspin into celebrities and social media scandals. Though, scandal is a stretch when put into terms about a dead ex. She only speaks to Brooks by happenstance. Although, it’s more sassing than actual talking. Which he likes and demonstrates every opportunity he can. She’s become the girl friend—with a space, as he likes to say—and he’s more than her timid self can handle…”

NERDY GIRL CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS YEAR TO BE OVER WITH… “…For the shy, nerdy girl-next-door that she is, high school is torture and all she wants is for it to be over. Having her heart broken by a popular, womanizing boy all those years ago doesn’t help the matters. Nor does his best friend who still has a habit of mercilessly teasing her.

Happy Black Friday!!
I’m gonna hit the mall with my son once he wakes up.
Eeeeeeeeep!!!! I used to do that way back before I became an adamant online shopper. LOL!!! It was fun, but I was always a bit nervous for the potential aggression out there. 😉
But I always found such COOL deals (like cozy pajama sets and entire glass storage bowls) for so cheap. In fact, I’m actually wearing one of those fuzzy pajama sets right now. 😀
Good morning!
Ditto on your post, Maryse. My mom, sister, and I used to go every year. We’d look at all the newspaper ads and map out which stores were opening at what time so that we could hit them all as close to opening time as possible. At first it was daring to get to a store at 7am, then it moved to 6, then 5, and 4. Now I do 98% of my shopping online.
Hubs asked if I wanted to go get a Christmas tree today, and I said, “Are you crazy?” Lowes will be just as crowded as everywhere else (around our parts, Lowes has wonderful fir trees that are a fraction of the cost of other places–and I lurve to look at their Christmas lighting displays).
Here are a couple of ebook box set deals:
The Legal Affairs Boxed Set by Sawyer Bennett (includes 5 books) on sale for $1.99
The Katy Regnery Christmas Collection: Three complete holiday romances by Katy Regnery–includes Marrying Mr. English, Countdown to Midnight, and Loving Irish–on sale for $0.99

Happy Black Friday!!! No store shopping for me. No ma’am. I’ll stick with online shopping, thank you.
I woke up an hour ago, pulled up my Amazon app, and POOF! A large chunk of money disappeared from my checking account. *sigh*
I’m REALLY excited about getting the Samsonite luggage though because we’ve been taking a lot of one-night and two-night trips recently, and the 20”/28” set is perfect for us.
Now to hit up Sephora, Tarte, MAC, and a bunch of other makeup sites…
Thank you Nay! ❤️

Bad Things by RK Lilley (TRISTAN & DANIKA!!!!!!)
The only thing I bought today is a 30 dollar mystery beauty box, lol. It’s fun if nothing else.
I am planning on looking for some warmer outer wear. Probably ll bean or lands end. And a new umbrella.
Maryse do you have a holiday reading list?
I wouldn’t mind seeing one. Wouldn’t necessarily have to be Christmas themed, but even winter or fall. Or just those books that are cozy or good to cozy up with….if that makes sense?
Stella Riley fans – her new book in the Rockliffe series is OUT! Yay! It’s called Cadenza and looks good so far. A series of gorgeous Georgian HRs. Traditional style books, clean but still sexy 😉
I’m sick. I haven’t been sick like this in too long and all I wanna do is sleep and I can’t. First, because of the chills and now because of my raging headache. I was achy all day today, *waaah!*
Watching Crazy Rich Asians. Now that is an OTT wedding.
But love, “Bok Bok bitch” lol.
Tasha hope you feel better soon.
First year that I did ZERO Black Friday shopping. Not in stores. Not online. Feels weird.
Instead, I spent the day making Nordic gnomes, because I’m addicted to Pinterest. So cute!
I’m in the mood for something Lauren Gilley-like. And recs?
Only black friday shopping was stopping at Sephora on way back from in-laws. My daughter wanted to get her friend a birthday present. Also checked Target and GameStop for PS4 Spiderman bundle for my daughter. EVERY WHERE is sold out. Hoping it will be a cyber monday deal. I did do some online shopping at Metal Marvels. They have both positive affirmation jewlery and expletive one’s. I purchased 3 bracelets. Two as gifts and one for me. The “I run on caffeine and curse words” is so me. Although, I loved the expletive one’s too.
R- I just finished Tell Me You Love Me. Noticed you’re mentioned in the acknowledgements. I really liked it! It was a sweet, romantic comedy with a clever storyline that has a few twists along the way.
Ann’s writing is so unique. There’s just nothing else like it! This is the third one I’ve beta read for her. So glad you liked it!
Michelle S. what about Reaper’s Stand by Joanna Wylde? I don’t like all of her books but I liked that one. Older H and h, good storyline. Or have you read Sebring By Kristen Ashley? It’s a while since I read it, but it has something of the flavour of Gilley, from memory. Bad boy turns better, falls for daughter of crime lord (I think???)
Or a bit of Susan Fanetti? Alone on Earth is a good one. Lonely young Hollywood starlet falls for a biker while making a movie about his MC club. Or if you’re not in a mood for bikers, what about Deep? Yeah it’s a mafia family book, but it’s not really about the mafia life. It’s really about the beautiful love story of a dark and lonely fortyish man whose life is transformed when he falls in love for the first time with a complicated and wonderful woman.
Not sure what to read next. What is everyone reading? 🙂
I’m reading a new HR (Cadenza) and the Walsh brothers (Kate Canterbary). Her new one, Before Girl, was pretty good.
I liked Before Girl too.
Just started The Cafe by the Sea . Too soon to tell but so far like it. If nothing else I always enjoy British CRs written by British authors.
Ok, this is too quiet. Even for me who wanted to hibernate.
