- Kiwi Gold (New Zealand Ever After Book 4) by Rosalind James <— LIVE!! HE RESCUED A SINGLE MOM OF TWINS!! “…Rescuing a woman dressed in a nightdress at a costume ball? That worked for me. And holding her up against the wall to shield her from the cops was pure enjoyment. Driving with her to a barbecue, a fruit salad in my lap and her twins–her girl twins–in the back seat? Out of my comfort zone. And that was before she started asking me for dating lessons and wondering how to explain that she couldn’t have sex before marriage…“

I read a lot last month. Nothing amazing, but still fun to try so many.
This month I definitely want to read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Finally going to try them.
The Spanish Love Deception, which I meant to read last month.
And then maybe Love From A to Z.
Those are my must reads.
*gasp* I wish I could read the Throne of Glass series for the first time all over again!!
I’m hoping to finish In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by this weekend or next week at least. I read a lot more of it yesterday and it is the one, of my current reads, that I hate to put down. I’m sooo into it! I do like the “who done it” aspect, but currently am more into the group and all their relationships and secrets. I so would’ve been into it if it was just a drama/love story. I feel the chemistry and the romantic in me wants things to just work out even though I know that’s not the focus of it. 😂
This weekend, I have a get together with family, swim lessons, movie night, and crafting. I would also like to continue getting things out of the house. I’m on a streak here, but probably won’t have time.
It is so hard for me to turn off that romance reader part of my brain. But sometimes I think it can make non romance books or shows more fun because I’m always looking for some connection. Or shipping some couple that I’m sure was never in the writers mind.
That is what gets me excited to read or watch. I have to have some couple to root for. Some do it a little better than others though and I like when I can really feel it.
I literally did this with Amityville Horror 🤦♀️
🤣
🙀😂
Only you my dear….only you. LOL
🤷♀️
OMG ME TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Totally this:
“I’m always looking for some connection. Or shipping some couple that I’m sure was never in the writers mind.”
I’m intrigued by this one Tasha. Just added to my mountainous TBR.
I forgot to mention, I think, that I chose True Biz by Sara Nović for my book of the month this month. It releases April 5. And probably hugely swayed for that one because of the movie Coda. Something different.
Hey Jan, Kiwi Gold (New Zealand Ever After Book 4) by Rosalind James! yay! 😎
Hi Mony. Yeah I really like Ms James’ books. I had this one pre-ordered and I’ve started it. Really liking it so far. Not your cliche romance couple LOL. Looks like another great read. Apparently another one coming out in September called Kiwi Sin 😀
Letting you all know I am here. 🙂 I’m going through house-sale process this week and it was crazy intense and fast.
I’ll get back to my regular schedule soon. Today even . 😉
