Sometimes, we’re nothing more than jaded sinners driven by sleepless nights and hearts full of darkness. And then I met her. She was a dreamer who managed to soothe my scars and heal my wounds. But, as the flames closed in around us, I feared I wasn’t the right man to save her…“
- Grievous (Scarlet Scars Book 2) by J.M. Darhower <— J.M. DARHOWER’S LATEST MAFIA DUET IS NOW COMPLETE!! Book #2 IS LIVE!!! And D.G. LOVED book #1:
D.G.: “This book…left me guessing until the end. I sooo totally thought I had it figured out early on BUT was SO wrong!! J.M. Darhower knows how to write a MAFIA book! Loved this made man’s quirky personality, loved the DND’s strong and fearless side yet vulnerable also. Just LOVED kitten all together!”
The Game Changer by Scott Hildreth <— MAFIA ROMANCE ALERT!!! She wants to marry him but he didn’t know she’s the boss’s daughter… “He didn’t know he was marrying the boss’s daughter.

But then, I meet Tyke Jamison...”
- Trigger: A Circle of Justice Novel by L.P. Dover <— HE’S A KILLER… “…I wasn’t going to give in, but when I heard the screams there was no going back. It triggered the pain, the need.

- Things My Husband Says (Out of the Blue Book 1) by Barbara Blue <— REAL-LIFE HUSBAND COMEDY!! “THINGS MY HUSBAND SAYS is an unfiltered collection of conversations between myself and my husband of over twenty-five years…”
- Kiss Cam (With A Kiss Book 1) by Anie Michaels <— THE KISS CAM LANDS ON HER & THE STRANGER NEXT TO HER!!! Gasp!! “In Riley’s opinion, nothing ruined a good basketball game like the halftime gag, the Kiss Cam. When the camera lands on her and the sexy stranger in the next seat over, peer pressure from the arena forces them to kiss. It was supposed to be quick, meaningless, and comical. Instead the kiss was hot, delectable, and left her reeling...”
Hooked (Viking Bastards MC) by Christina Phillips <— A BIKER & A RICH GIRL ALERT!! “…I don’t do forever, but she’s hooked me so bad I don’t ever want to let her go.

Me first!
Well good for you Grey! *totally not sarcastic*
hahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! 😆
*giggle*
Alright Maryse, I’m starting The Last Hour of Gann today… I’ve been in a rut and need something to wow me. So… Are you ready???
Wait what? Is Maryse joining you Grey? I bet you she’s gonna squirrel!!!!
I’m in… but there may be squirreling. 😛
Ok guys! Remember when we were talking about NetGalley and I said the only book I requested was the new TJR book? I haven’t heard anything but then just now I get an email from Simon and Shuster thanking me for downloading the eGalley copy. Does this mean I was approved? And where the heck is it?
Log in to NetGalley and click on Your Shelf. You should see it there if you’ve been approved.
When I click on my shelf I don’t see anything, but I clicked on the title and it’s still pending. Maybe I’ve been approved by the publisher and it hasn’t made it though to NG yet? I’m sending you the email.
Once Major Tom gets on that space ship she will realize there is nowhere to squirrel to.
Okay ladies, I need a number between 1 and 485 for a 2015 read.
And the next big question…Red Queen or Gann for my February challenge? RQ is a 2017 click and Gann is a 2016 click, so I’m trying to time the challenge read with my reading resolution…
88
Can’t help you with the other question :-/
Do Gann with Maryse and me, Amy! It will be the Three Glittery Grey Marmies… Which IMHO are way more interesting than those blasted musketeers any day… Plus, that way if Maryse squirrels on me…well you know…LOL!
Now I want a Three Musketeers candy bar. And I don’t even really like those. 😐
Amy, they’re both good. Gann is adult and RQ is YA if that helps your decision.
Uh… I like Red Queen more, and some people like Hour of Gann more… I’ll be honest. There’s a part towards the beginning of H of G that had me giving it four stars out of five so that may just be my issue.
Grievous is MINE!!!! Bahahaha….
So I finally started Wolfsong…yep, took the plunge, drank the kool-aid…and it is amazing…just amazing. No other words needed.
484
Oh we can keep giving numbers? 251
I say 222.
I say 1. 😉
Cheryl, you’re a rebel. lol The number we all avoid.
*randomness*
I want my tbr sorted by year published.
I can’t imagine the time and energy it took to do that. I still have to sort mine by PNR type!
My picks for Amy are #333… and Last Hour of Gann for February Challenge, unless you haven’t read Throne of Glass, then I’d recommend that one.
Get out the popcorn & a giant beverage, it’s going to be a LONG journey through Gann, but so worth it. Will never forget that book!
Grievous is MINE!! Bahahaha….after I finish Wolfsong!!!! Yep, I folded, tossed in my chips, drank the Kool-aid, and bought the book! Wolfsong is just amazing…enough said.
Aw geez…now I have to narrow it down AGAIN. 😛
88 – Hollywood and Vine
251 – The Ghost Bride
222- Broken By Lies
1 – Raze
But…BUT!! Lookie here:
484 is…The Last Hour of Gann
That’s karma talking Amy. You better listen to the 484.
What happened?!? My second comment responding to y’all didn’t post!! 😕 Let me try again in a minute…
Where’s Jean? Singe went on my tbr so fast you’d think it was home.
HA! I figured it out…when I try to post a link my comment won’t post. WTH is going on?? I tried to post a link for Maryse for a Three Musketeers cocktail. *sigh*
Let’s try it again *without* the link…
Fabi, right? I guess Gann it is then. And thanks for the info…Red Queen will be great when I’m craving a YA PNR or fantasy. 😀
Tessa, it WAS time consuming but so worth it! The “manage content” feature on Amazon helped tremendously though.
MichelleS, did you see 484 for me up there? 😉
Gann is awesome,* seriously you all need to read it.
*But maybe not as awesome as Simon.
I picked H&V??!! How odd! I LOVE that book!
Fabi, GR has that feature! Go to your TBR shelf and click on settings. Select “date pub” then sort away!
Thanks R. but it doesn’t transfer to my Kindle app. Or does it? You seem to find all the cool features.
I don’t know. I keep everything organized in GR. I’ve never tried to do anything on my kindle.
I’m just happy I’m up to date with what I have read on “my books” in GR. Can’t imagine finding the time to really organize my kindle.
It would be great if there was a kindle app that would analyze what your mood is and what you should start reading that day. “Ok Google what is the right book for me to read today?!!”
Yep R, you picked H&V! But Gann is 484 from Ela and would work for my February read. I thought it was a 2016 click but it’s actually a 2015 click, and I need a 2015 click. So…Gann it is.
Wow. If all that doesn’t scream book nerd…whatever, I’m a PROUD book nerd!!!!
Sorry Cheryl. I just asked Alexa what a good book is and she said the bible so unless you’re feeling something heavy…
I don’t blame you! Two birds !
YES Cheryl! Hoe awesome would that be?!?
*How
And I was just snickering “Amy said hoe!” <–singsong voice
I agree Amy and Fabi. 484 it is!
LOL bev!!!!
bev says simon says.
So it’s not letting you post links, Amy?
I have been getting some spam comments that the spam-filter is catching (which is great) but maybe it’s being overzealous.
I totally squirreled on Throne of Glass to a different book. Now I remember that Wintersong comes out tomorrow/tonight.
Why are new releases always on work days?
It’s not as bad as when I was relaying info to a higher-up the other day, and instead of saying “we’ve had a lot of success there” I said…
…drumroll please…
“we’ve had a lot of sex there”
Not my finest moment.
*gasp*
Someone tried to spam HERE?!?
Aw sh!t, hold my earrings…
Whoa. With your whole staff?
You’ve got a lot of energy.
OMG…
*snorrrrrrrrrt!*
Yes!!! We’re Gann-ing together!!! I. Am. Excited!!! I feel like we should first line Monday LOL!
The eviction notice was hanging on the door when they got back from the hospital. – The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith
Heck, it’s probably going to be my first line on Thursday with how big this book is.
Probably the NEXT Thursday as well.
lol That’s so true. It’s a big book. It won the “longest book” on my GR list last year.
Wintersong is next, I think? Are we doing that one right away Bev? I am currently in the middle of nothing, so I can go either way. I think quite a few books that are coming out tomorrow will be library books. Because, GAH! And I can get them by next month. I’m just not sure which will be a library book and which will be bought. Wintersong will be bought.
Oh, so I went to look at other books by P. Dangelico, after the mention in Maryse’s review, and apparently I have one already!!!! WOOT! All that random, sure, why not? It’s free. Just paid off. 😀
I’m determined not to squirrel Murmuration again as soon as I finish my beta projects…unless it gets close to March and I still haven’t read my PNR pick.
I wish I could read your PNR pick for you R.
Me too! LOL I have so many other things I want to read. But, that’s the point of the challenge right? And I’d never read it without it!
Hey, do me a favor? After you start post how long it says you have left.
I can start Wintersong tomorrow after work.
OMG Maryse! This was the best bad lip reading yet!! I hadn’t seen it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w8n0L3uUCE
It says 23 hours and 16 minutes.
Twenty.
Three.
Hours.
What the heck did I get myself into?? *snort*
I love those bad lip reading videos!! Hubby and I were just watching the 2016 NFL one the night before he left and we were dying!
That one killed me. They’re so funny! I think the first one I saw was for Twilight at the theater. I was choking on my popcorn!
This is the first one I’ve ever seen. Made my night! LOL Thanks R.
Thank Maryse. I found it on her FB page!
OMG then you need the Twilight one!
Amy, when you finish you’ll want more. Crazy as it sounds. 😉
Well either it isn’t funny anymore or I can’t find the original 🙁
If you like Star Wars and bad lip reading:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U9t-slLl30E
Hubby and I may be the biggest dorks ever but we kept watching this and laughing harder and harder each time!
“I hate Brenda” LOL!!!!
Yeah, I tried a couple of the Twighlight ones just now. No…
Let’s see the Star Wars…
wait…maybe it was the hunger games…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjGk_jU6t5A Yes! Hunger Games LOL
Star Wars won’t play for me. Ok Hunger Games, last one.
Seagulls gonna come…poke me in the coconut. OMG this needs to be our theme song!
won’t load either 🙁 Probably because I’m downloading audio books at the same time.
“That log had a child…”
I can’t stop giggling now!
Fabi…you have to try and watch it later. It’s hilarious!
It’s so true you will wish for more. Slightly jealous of you all reading it for the first time. Just let yourself get swept up into it.
You all need to rope Jean in to the buddy read.
I WIN I WIN….I WAS THE 484 CHOICE MAKER….whatever…..
MAYBE I SHOULD JOIN THE BUDDY READ??????
Maybe you SHOULD, Ela.
Maybe. You. Should.
😛
You should Ela. It’s pretty dark. You’ll like it.
BUT I STARTED INTO THE LIGHT AND OF COURSE I MUST FOLLOW IT UP WITH THE SEQUEL BECAUSE CLIFFHANGER! BUT MAYBE SINCE GANN IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG I CAN STILL MAKE IT????
Ooh Ela, Into The Light by Aleatha Romig? Loved that book… But yes! Join the buddy read with us!!
My kindle won’t tell me how much longer I have to read…location 386 of 19907… Holy crap…
Yup, the one and only Aleatha! Woaw crapness….386 of 19907 that’s like 2%
OMG YOU GUYS IT’S ELA’S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday Ela!!!! 😀 <3 :D!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELA!!
I ORIGINALLY WROTE THIS IN LOWERCASE AND THEN CHANGED IT DUH SO SHE COULD ACTUALLY READ IT!
LOL!!!!!! I know how you FEEEEEEL!!!!!!
😛
ELA!!!! Have a happy one!!!!
LOL! THANKS LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELA!!!!!!!!
Birthday cake shots all around!!!
HAPPY Birthday ELA!!!!!!!!!
Tessa, I was curious about that book-think it’s #1 of 2 after reading Wrecking Ball. Let me know how it is.
So this just happened: https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/817-rereading-is-here-let-s-say-it-again-rereading-is-here
That’s great.
Though most books I re read I’m not sure how many times I’ve done so.
