βββΒ Β Get Maryseβs Book Blog updates delivered by emailΒ (youβll get one daily email that will have each post from that day consolidated on it).
Good morning! It barely hit 70 here yesterday and it’s only going to be 77 today. Loving this cooler weather, but I hope no one here’s in the path of the hurricane. We’re expecting a lot of rain from it.
Good morning! π
I almost like a small Tuesday list…less to add to
Mt. TBR.
Nay!!! I have the perfect BR for us. The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker. Maybe we can read when Maryse reads!?!
*tosses glitter* gah, I’m so tired. I was up until 1 am reading. 5 came so early. Slowly getting back into my routine… I’ve got this. Football, cheer, dance…advisor, PTO, work, coaching…I’ve got this… *yawn*
Oh, wow, Grey! I’m tired just reading that! lol
Just posted to you on the GR thread before I saw this, Leslie. I’m GREAT with The Simple Wild!
I saw on FB that Carian Coles new release is finally coming out 09-13!
Hi ladies! Been gone for a week and feel completely out of the loop!
I loved The Simple Wild Maryse and think you would love it too!
Just finished Bring Down the Stars by Emma Scott! Amazing! Yes, the cliffhanger is killing me but damn it was great! I’m in love with two guys!
Missed you guys! Somebody give me an update……bev?
Yes, how is the BR going? I know I added Binding 13 to my list a long time ago after someone mentioned it, but forgot about it. Now, Iβm ready for a break from angst and heavy, I think. But, soon!
While waiting for Aly Martinez to finish her duet and Emma Scott to finish up her, I played catchup. Reading Keep Her Safe by K A Tucker of course. I donβt want it to end but canβt read fast enough. It has so many twists and secrets. I canβt think of a thing that the book does not have in it for a perfect read. You must read every word or you might miss an important word or clue so slow read for me. I have been impatiently waiting for Simple Wild so must get this finished. Ahhh, too many books so little time lol.
Happy tuesday!! I can relate Grey; slowly getting back in work mode. Now off to back to school night! Tired.
Jean there isn’t anything to really report.
Because no one comes and plays anymore.
It hurts, Jean.
Let’s see……
I tried to get everyone to watch TV with me and eat licorice.
They’ll eat the licorice, but won’t watch the tv.
It hurts, Jean.
R was very clear: “bev I dont watch tv.”
Then Sunday……
R,”Hey I just watched watched You. Everyone watch with me.”
It hurts, Jean.
Maryse told me, “bev I love long books.”
I tried to rec a book instead.
The Last Hour of Gan.
Maryse said,” OK. Let’s buddy read Jan’s rec Binding 13.”
It hurts, Jean.
R got wasted on Fireball.
Everyone compared the worst alcohol to throw up.
It hurts, Jean
It’s been a hurtful week, Jean.
Oh, Amy got a haircut.
I took pictures.
OMG bev this is your best one ever!!!!!!!!!!
I die!!!! :P!!!!
In my defense, I was drunk on Fireball so was I even really watching TV? It’s hard to say.
Ok I just did that in the 4 minutes i had left on my break.
It’s a bit rough.
Lol, LOVE the cut- itβs so cute!! π
So, I finished Sadie. Tragic story. Loved how it was told, the podcast part was different.
And, last night I watched Alex Strangelove on Netflix. I hated the trailer and didnβt watch it Bc of that for the longest time, but it was SO good!
Blahahahaha! I knew I could count on you bev!!
Love Amy’s haircut! Lol!
Amy looks so chic!
Is anyone watching the Sons of Anarchy spinoff–Mayans MC? I watched it last week and LURVed! It’s on again tonight!
Yes, bev, your musings are one of a kind! lol
Lol, well I’m glad you enjoyed it.
A Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker was simply beautiful. I loved the description of the landscape. This story evoked many emotions and I love it when an author can make me feel so much. I lived in the North for many years and K.A. Tucker really got it right. I laughed out loud with the mention of the βhoney bucketβ – never thought I would read that – (If you have lived or travelled in the far North you know what I am referring to and if not ) youβre not missing anything – LOL. One of my top 2018 reads!
I second Walk of Shame! It made my elusive 5* list!
OMG, thatβs pretty much how I felt getting my hair cut, LOL!!!! Glad you all like it. *primps and pats hair* π
Seriously, bev…your updates are the BESTEST! They never fail to make me giggle.
And WOW! This really IS a short list. But I just had to click Yesterday is Gone. Second chance romance and a secret? Itβs been done before but itβs almost always FUN. π
I am one of those weirdos that cuts off all my hair, grows it out, cuts it again, grows it out. I am very lazy and prefer the ease of buns/ponytails where short hair requires styling. I do not like to fuss with hair, makeup or clothes. I’ve been in a “long” phase for awhile but am 99% sure I am chopping it soon. I have really bad hair because I color it so much. Maybe I need those vitamins you guys talk about? I have the feeling the minute I chop it, I will regret it.
We are starting a buddy read soon for The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker.
Please join us!!

I have my 18-month post transplant appointment today. Wish me luck!
At least they’ve gotten much easier–I don’t have to get the equivalence of a screwdriver jabbed in my neck anymore.
Happy birthday to our wonderful book bud, Amy!!!! :D!!!!
*sets off the glitter cannon and pours birthday cake martinis for breakfast*
Good luck Nay!!!! We will be thinking about you.
*big squeeeeezy hug*
Good Luck!!
Fighting!
Happy Happy Birthday!
I hope you have a wonderful day.
I hope your next year is filled with books that make you cry, the perfect nail polish, all the flavored vodka, and a trip to Hawaii.
It’s Amy’s birthday?!? Happy birthday, Amy!!!!! *sets off glitter cannon* *grabs case of sparkly watermelon wine* oh, it’s so good…just like our Amy!!! Wishing you the bestest day! Love you!! β€
Nay, *hugs* sending all my prayers and positive thoughts to you today.
Happy Birthday Amy and love you Nay!
*tackle hugs Amy* Happy Birthday my beautiful book bud!!
*gently hugs Nay* Good luck today. You got this!!
Happy birthday Amy! Love you girl!
And good luck Nay!
*huggles Amy* Happy birthday!! *throws martini everywhere* Hope you get tons of angst in your books today. Books… only in the books! π
Good luck Nay!!
Thanks! Already done. I have two more 3-month appts and then Iβll go to every 6 months.
Happy birthday, Amy!!
*basks in all the hugs, tackle hugs, and huggles*
Thank you ladies!! Love you all…SO much! β€οΈ
Nay…everything went well? Iβm so glad to hear the appointments are getting easier. We like you better without a screwdriver in your neck. *gentle hugs*
Me too, Amy! lol
They told me I only have to get that done every 2 years now as long as I don’t get a questionable score on my AlloMap blood test.
What are you doing for your birthday?
Oooh, I just downloaded a great freebie!
Quantum Series Boxed Set, Books 1-3 (Virtuous, Valorous and Victorious) by Marie Force is FREE on Kindle and ibooks today!
I feel like I’m on a reading streak and then….no.
I’m very sad. My favorite kpop group just got rid of my favorite member. For dating. It’s so different compared to western groups.
Aly Martinez’s duet is complete today!!! For us that one her, and were afraid of the cliffhanger, we can dive in now!! π
https://www.maryse.net/reading-order-guide/aly-martinez-the-truth-duet-reading-order.html
P.S. I had a dream, that me and Arianna Grande and another girl were all hanging out in Jamaica by a breezy beach and it was so gorgeous, and we found a cute shady spot outside where we were gonna sit and put on our makeup… LOL!!! WHAT? π
bev that’s so strange?!! For DATING????
I’m going to spam you guys with the story.
Cause I have a cold, forgot my thermos of coffee, and a commute.
This is how I’ll amuse myself.
Plus, no one here. I have the house to myself.
*insert evil laugh*
So one hot summer night bev discovered kpop.
In particular E’dawn of Pentagon and his Organic Song.
https://youtu.be/yezWkubJWOQ
E’Dawn is the blond in the middle with 2 other members of Pentagon.
I now know he is my bias in the group.
But who is this “Baby girl” he is singing about?
We now know it is Hyuna.
https://youtu.be/bw9CALKOvAI
So Pentagon are a rookie group and Hyuna debuted like 10 years ago.
They both are signed with Cube.
Hyuna is very successful and popular so Cube made a sub group of her and 2 members of Pentagon….Hui and E’Dawn.
This way she is lending her support to a rookie group.
So out came:
https://youtu.be/8gPQenyj1nI
Everyone was like…Whoa. Look at Hyuna & E’Dawn…..and poor third wheeling Hui.
That us some hot chemistry. Something is going on.
But others were all Nope. Just acting.
A rookie CAN NOT date. It would kill his career.
He hasn’t worked hard or long enough and still owes his fans….or something to that effect. It’s still hard for me to understand.
But Idols and their fans, especially Korean fans, have a different relationship than western artist.
Then things started to turn against Hyuna.
As it does.
She was forcing too much skinship on the boys and they were uncomfortable.
Edawn told us he was a virgin.
https://youtu.be/bPvCVvdTmEo
The look on her face is priceless…..they’d already been a couple.
And see Hui wont answer about girlfriends because he is still a “rookie”
Then Pentagon came out this summer with a hit song. Partly written and prominently featuring Edawn.
https://youtu.be/Nu2yQ1zYDYU
To be continued…..maybe.
At work coffee in hand.
Today is National Peanut Day!
Wow a lot happened since I was last here…
Happy Belated Birthday to Amy!
Glad to hear your appointment went well Nay!
Maryse, I love that you and Arianna Grande are such buds – – and you picked a great locale in Jamaica… to do your makeup …lol!
And I totally now think I may quasi understand Bev’s infatuation with kpop – – but seriously being fired for dating…I don’t think the fans want that either …crazy.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
LOL Michelle G! Such a random dream, but a fun and super detailed one. Really realistic, ya know? Except… you know. For the hanging out with a pop-star in Jamaica thing. *snort* π
FLT: It was January 10th 2005. (Binding 13)……
OMG…..so great and only at 15%!!!! (And long!!!!!)
Bev, you can’t be mad I’m reading it, I did read The Last Hour of Gann!
Hi All,
I am with Michele I’ve missed a lot too…
Happy Belated Birthday Amy!
I laughed so much reading some of the earlier comments…Bev you crack me up!
Nay I am glad everything went good for you!
Maryse-looks like you were in great company in Jamaica π
FLT: “Lisa”! I roared into my empty bedroom.
The Truth About Lies-Aly Martinez.
Dying to read Binding 13 but still holding out till the second book is out.
I have friends in NC that refused to evacuate as they just moved there in June into their new house so praying they are kept safe. Not sure if anyone here is affected by it but if so please be safe.
FLT: “My date is late.” Tell Me You Love Me by S. Ann Cole
Beta-reading this one and loving it!
FLT:
Whenever I’d thought about the way I was going to die, I never believed I would be lucky enough for it to happen in my sleep or to have a heart attack and pass away within minutes.
Animal by Marni Mann
*snort* That was great, bev. π
FLT
βOak desks, scuffed from years of abuse and handy knife work, stand single file in the back of the dingy public library.β Rising by Jessica Ruben.
Yep, Iβm jumping into the Vincent and Eve story to see what all the fuss is about. I was really liking Sadie, but itβs just not what Iβm needing right now. But I definitely WILL be going back to finish it later.
All the Little Lights by Jamie McGuire is on sale for 1.99…canβt go wrong with a JM book. π
One more sale to mention…Me Before You is on sale for 2.99, down from 11.99!! π
I made my husband watch that last night! (On the patio with tequila, so it doesn’t count as watching TV bev!) π
Yes! Yes it does.
Just for that I might have 10 more chapters of my kpop story.
FLT:
“I find that a Ming bowl is like a woman’s breast,” Sir Lyndon Mather said to Ian MacKenzie, who held the bowl in question between his fingertips. “The swelling curve, the creamy pallor. Don’t you agree?”
Ian couldn’t think of a woman who would be flattered to have her breast compared to a bowl, so he didn’t bother to nod.
Hahaha. It’s from a very popular HR that I’m FINALLY getting around to reading: The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie by Jennifer Ashley. One of those everyone’s-read-it-except-me. It’s really good so far. The H is a hot Scot who seems to be somewhere on the Aspergers scale, and in the past was committed to an asylum for his supposed ‘madness’. Sounds like an unlikely premise for a HR, but it’s very well written and has been hugely popular.
Haven’t read it yet, but The New York Times picked up the Hyuna/E’Dawn story.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/13/world/asia/kpop-hyuna-edawn-dating-fired.html
I love that Michele is quasi interested, lol.
Thank you.
R, it is my mission to have you all watch a k drama with me that comes out Oct 3. Well, if available. Even if I am slightly spoiled.
A mission I say.
Jan, that is a good book. Not sure why I never read the rest of the books about the brothers.
Is it subtitled? Because I drink copious amounts of booze when I watch TV on the patio. It’s a rule. Can’t break it.
Your a reader R.
You can handle it.
In fact embrace it.
Soju Bombs!
Though I’ll stick to ramen.
FLT: “There are days when the urge to hurt, to kill, is too strong to be denied.” Keep Me (Twist Me #2).
I know I know. How dare I pop in with a FLT when I’ve been MIA? Life is crazy right now!
This series reminds me of Saving Rain & Captive in the Dark. Dark, twisted, but it’s working for me.
I also binged read the spinoffs from Jack & Jill series, by Jewel E Ann. And When Life Happened. One of my new favorite authors!
Happy Belated Birthday Amy!
My Oxford Year just came in at library. Yippee.
MichelleS I LOVED THAT ONE!!!! LUCKY YOU!!!
Saving Rain???? Snort. I guess it’s been a while. SURVIVIVG RAINE. Remember that oldie but goodie?
LOL MichelleS! You had me at Captive in the Dark. I’m over here googling Saving Rain! π
MichelleS!
We missed you.
I feel like I’m yelling this as she runs by.
OMG my name is on the list!! thank you, Maryse <3
I have gotten into a very unlikely romance novel. Based in WWII, and on a true story. 2 Families fleeing the war and finding love in the process against all the tragedy that was WWII. It’s very good. Thrown Upon The World by George Kolber, thrownupontheworld.com for the book site. I didn’t think it was going to be as good as it is, well worth it.
