  • The Space Between Love & Hate: An Enemies to Lovers, Best Friend’s Brother Romance (The Space Between Duet Book 1) by Melissa Toppen <— LIVE!! SHE HATED HIM INTENSELY! “…At thirteen years old, I had predicted exactly what was to come. Some things you just know are an absolute inevitability, and Sutton was that for me. The one thing I couldn’t escape no matter how far or fast I ran. But the distance only made me want him more. Time intensifying the deep ache that I could not outrun no matter how hard I tried. I loved him so much it hurt. But I also hated him almost as intensely. Over the years I found comfort there- in the space between love and hate. But even I knew I couldn’t stay there forever- that one day I’d be forced to face Sutton again. I just wish I was a hell of a lot more prepared when that day finally came…“
  • Queens and Monsters series by J. T. Geissinger <— MUCH LOVED SERIES & JOY LOVED IT TOO!

Joy: Hi Maryse! I just finished reading J. T. Geissinger’s Queens and Monsters series and it was absolutely amazing!!!! I listened to the audiobooks as well. There are four books in this mafia series. I fell in love with 3 of the 4 couples, even though I loved all 4 books. One couple was a bit annoying, but they were important to the big picture.

Randi M: Carnal Urges by J.T. Geissinger right now. Loving it!! Sloan is hilarious! Can’t go wrong with this one. Would recommend to read Ruthless Creatures first so you know the in and outs of what is going on in the background. That book is great too.

Jan: I’m almost finished with J.T. Geissinger Ruthless Creatures. I love it. Honestly I rarely read all of the s8x scenes but this one I’ve read every word.

  • The Bite by Z. W. Taylor <— JOY ALSO ENJOYED THIS ONE (TOTAL BLUBR JOLT FOR ME) BUT WITH A CAVEAT…

Joy: I also want to let you know that I had my eye on The Bite by Z. W. Taylor. I was hoping for it to be a deal of the day on Amazon. I read lots of reviews. Most people said that the Wattpad version was much better, even though it needed to be edited.

After downloading a sample, I went to Wattpad. The reviews were right! The Wattpad version is much better and book 2 (The Rise) is already on there. I just started book 2 today. Book one was good. As I mentioned, it’s not edited, but the story is so interesting that you overlook the crazy amount of times that the author has her characters rolling their eyes a million times, lol!

Courtney: The whole series is epic! Enjoy.

Natasha: I went back through Penelope Wards books to see if I had missed a good read…..I did! Holyyyg- this book. So different. I still don’t know how I feel about the heroine, part of me hates her but also connected with her decisions. The hero was beautiful. Such a good read, so happy I took the time to look again!

Hanneliane: I’m 73% into Sins of Sevin and I’m almost afraid to keep reading. What if more goes wrong? I don’t know if I can take it! Gah! My poor heart! The angst!

Leigh-Ann: Just finished Sins of Sevin what an amazing book. It’s a roller coaster of emotions!!! <3 <3 this book!!

Tasha J: I’m not sure if I ever said or not, but I absolutely loved My Best Friend’s Exorcism. It was so full of nostalgia, before my time really, but I’m a sucker for it anyway, and friendship, but also the kooky stuff with the demon. Lol. Not as scary as I would have thought, but towards the end it was intense.

R. Renee: I’m so glad you liked MBFE! I could have done without that final chapter, but the rest of it was fantastic. It was exactly my time so it was like reliving my youth, sans the possessed part, tho my parents would probably disagree.

Maryse: Oh and… I watched a movie a few weeks ago called My Best Friend’s Exorcism, and I really liked it. It was quirky and funny and 80s and a bit scary too. Is it the same one?

Tasha J: It is based off the book, yes. I’ve not watched it yet.

R. Renee: I saw the movie too. It’s the same but I doubt I would have even finished it if I hadn’t read the book.

Tasha J: I did make it through Ariadne also. It was a little dicey in the beginning. Because my peak enjoyment of Greek Mythology was jr. high. That’s when we learned what there was to know about mostly the big names and such. And it never went farther than that so while I’ve always been fascinated by it, I’ve not delved into it much since.

And there were a ton of names thrown out in the beginning. Some I remembered and some not so much, but I did get really into it eventually, maybe after 30-40% or so and found myself relaying every bizarre instance to my hubs, who probably could care less. 😂 I’m glad I read it. Now, what to read? 🤔I’m gonna sample some today. Not sure what I’m in the mood for.

Brei: Rereading my favorite (currently) series, Ghost Mountan Shifters series by Audrey Faye.

Summer: The Choice by A Jade I need book 2 like now! It was so good.

Melody: When a Moth loved a Bee. I’m normally not a Fantasy person, but wholly Moly!

I’m withering away my day over here cursing getting photos off my phone. Why does Apple make it so freaking hard? I have never ever had an easy time of it in the 9 years I’ve had a smart phone and dread doing it every single time so I put it off as long as I can. Well, I’ll just get a Mac and they’ll be friends and it’ll be much easier, I thought. Nope. So I haven’t done so in 3 years. Births, vacations, loads of family photos amounting to 18,000+. And I got a super big hard drive. I can’t figure this thing out and I hate the headache. I refuse to buy ICloud Space every month. So, I think I’m gonna buy something called imazing. I hope it’s not a waste and doesn’t mess something up. 😬 I am sooo tech challenged. Loathe entirely.

At the law firm I used to work at, they used imazing for downloading text conversations for cases etc… they loved it.

I think it worked? I have hope it worked. No way was I counting them all, but I hope it worked. Took me all day long, as I suspected. But I manually had to delete them all from my phone also. And go into iCloud and clear it out. I can’t keep up with technology. 🤯

Something is up with my photo library though. There are thousands of photos in it but they won’t let me delete them. Grrrrr. I give for now. I’ve cleared the cloud and I think they’re on the drive. I’m no longer at 99% capacity on my phone. I’m taking the day off of technology tomorrow. It’s a hopeless rabbit hole.

Anyone watching anything good? 😅

You can store photos for free on Amazon photos and I believe it’s unlimited but only for photos, not videos.

I should mention, it’s free with Prime.

Oh, I definitely will check this out! Thank you! Everyone I’ve asked doesn’t really have an answer as to how they get there’s off. They either don’t or have them scattered in several places. This may be an easier solution.

It’s definitely easy, I used to use google but they have a limit. You can upload everything and completely delete what’s in your phone. Any new photos you take will automatically be added to Amazon but not deleted from your phone if you choose not to. However, you have to keep prime forever or transfer them elsewhere.

I read the first 3 chapters on Wattpad then bought it for my Kindle. It was really good!
