- Just a Dream by Amanda Faye <— ASHLEY LOVED THIS ONE!
…just read Just a Dream by Amanda Faye (it’s currently free -at least on Amazon) and it was one of my top reads for the year. It had that perfect feel for me. It completely sucked me in.
The best way to describe it would be it had an Elizabeth O’Roark vibe.
Which leads me to my other top read so far…A Deal With the Devil by Elizabeth O’Roark. Read it. It’s so good! I know I’ve seen it come up on here, but it’s so good it’s worth mentioning again.
I’ve read 2 of Willa Nash’s Christmas books and I really enjoyed both of them. They’re novellas but they’re hearty – so you get a good story. Quick reads, but definitely satisfying.

- The Ritual: A Dark College Romance by Shantel Tessier <— LIVE!! READ THE AUTHOR’S WARNINGS “…I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie.

The day he asked for a favor and demanded discretion, the plan unfolded before my eyes, and I couldn’t resist the temptation…”
- The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren <— TASHA J WAS LOVING THIS ONE!
Tasha J: …am currently loving The Unhoneymooners- actually laughing out loud, the banter is too fun!…
- The Stand by Stephen King <— OMG I JUST ONE CLICKED THIS SUPER-BARGAIN!!
Julie O: My favorite “all time” book is The Stand by King. Have read it about 6 times and it’s a huge one! Think that is why I am hung up on apocalyptic books now.
Teri: Julie O I agree. The Stand is one of the best books ever written. I’ve read almost every Stephen King novel out ther and it and the novel It are my favorites. He’s one of the only authors that can write about a huge amount of characters and still capture the intimacy of each individual.
Janie: I’m currently reading The Stand by Stephen King and it’s making me crave all of the post apocalyptic fiction that I can get my hands on. …every list I look at for “the best of post apocalyptic fiction”, it’s at the top.
- If the Fates Allow: A Short Story by Rainbow Rowell <— SHE RUNS INTO THE BOY NEXT DOOR!! “…She isn’t expecting to run into the boy next door. Mason is all grown up now. He’s considerate.

In a time when six feet is close enough, how long can they keep their distance?…”
