The Hell Theory series sounds awesome! I’m going to have to put that one on my short list!!
Hope everyone is doing okay out there!! We have sun today and are hitting a high of 30 degrees! I’ll take it!
It was soooooo good. She writes some really original stuff. I never know where she is going, and I love the ride.
Just saw a reminder for Texans to take your electricity bill off of auto pay if it is set up that way. The bills are going to be off the charts.
Deciding what to read tonight.
Anyone want to help? Some on my tbr:
Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant
Thirsty by Mia Hopkins
The Armorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville
I Knead You Tonight by Teagan Hunter
How To Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams (on sale today)
Isn’t that awesome? Pay huge electric bills for NOT having electricity?
What is going on in Texas is anger inducing and heartbreaking.
I never lost power, my water was cold for a while, got pilot relit on water heaters, and I am seriously lucky. My friends didn’t fare so well. Had family stay with me for two days since they lost power. Store shelves empty. It’s a huge disaster. Schools can’t re-open due to damage. I kept my two Kindles plugged in the whole time just in case. Priorities!
Right off the bat, the title Thirsty calls to me.
Right? That makes no sense to me…
I’m voting for The Amorous Education one – just read the blurb. Fun romp in Regency England, a kidnapping by a rogue. Gotta put that one on my TBR list.
I just got in line at the library for We Begin at the End. I am number five! Woo hoo. You had me at “it has that Where the Crawdad’s Sing vibe”. I loved that book.
I still need to read that one. Or actually listen to it because I bought the audiobook with my extra credits.
