Monday Earlybird Book Releases + some that are going live at midnight…

November 27, 2017 By Maryse 57 Comments

HAPPY CYBER MONDAY!!!! AND EARLYBIRD MONDAY! πŸ˜€ A few extra special exciting things happening over the next 24 hours!!! One… it’s Cyber Monday (yessssss I know we just lost our minds over Black Friday, but what… if… there’s more? I’m on it!!!!) I will post the extra-cool stuff I find throughout the day, so we don’t miss out on the deals. ‘Cause I can confirm, once the “deal day” is done, most of those awesome finds go right back up to full price. How do I know? I “hemmed-and-hawed” too long on a few… *sigh*
Oh and… um… you know. No big deal but,Β Darker: Fifty Shades Darker as Told by ChristianΒ by E.L. JamesΒ is going live at midnight. eekΒ Just sayin’ πŸ˜‰

Now his excuses mean nothing. His apologies are weak and I’m about to show the world that even rock Gods can be brought to their knees...”
  2. Bad PrincessΒ byΒ Julianna Keyes <— JULIANNA KEYES ALERT!!! She’s crushing on her sister’s ex… and they’re bothΒ princesses. But she’s the “bad girl” princess.Β eekΒ GASP!!! “Finn embodies the definition ofΒ good.Β Tall and handsome, serious and honorable, he always does the right thingβ€”including agreeing to marry his ex’s sister to cover up this latest scandal. Brinley has fallen down stairs, broken teeth and broken bones, but this is the first time her heart has ever been broken. She now has the crown and the prince, and on the surface, life is goodβ€”but is being married to a man everyone swears could never love her back goodΒ enough?“
  3. The Plan: A Standalone Off-Limits RomanceΒ by Ella James <— LIVE!!! ELLA JAMES ALERT!! HER BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS TICKING… and then she sees her EX-HUSBAND!!! “…Then I see Gabriel McKellan. He’s Fate’s most famous son, a bestselling author who is beautiful, complicated, and living just below me. In addition to his plus-sized brain, Gabe’s well-endowed in other ways, and great in bed to boot. I would know. He’s my ex husband.

  7. NightingaleΒ byΒ Jocelyn Adams <— SHE WANTS TO INTERVIEW A RECLUSIVE MILLIONAIRE ALERT! “Stuck writing for the dull society pages, journalist Darcy Delacorte sets her sights on getting an interview with reclusive millionaire Micah Laine. While she expects the broody tycoon to be a challenge, she isn’t prepared for his dark charm or his price for the sordid details of his pastβ€”a price that begins with her spending a week alone with him…”
  8. Witness in the Dark (Love Under Fire)Β byΒ Allison B. Hanson <— DEPUTY HAS TO PROTECT HER… “Deputy Marshal Garrett McKendrick does not get involved with witnesses he’s tasked to protect. Especially when his boss has a very personal reason for keeping Samantha Hutchinson alive…”

  14. Free HostageΒ by S. Ann Cole <— S. ANN COLE ALERT!! She knows better and still… πŸ˜‰ “...He’s as beautiful as innocence, as harmless as a feather. Except, it’s all an illusion. I see him and I see lies. I smell him and I taste deceit. Β And stillβ€”fool that I amβ€”I rush in...”

Morning everyone and Happy Cyber Monday!! I’m on a crazy fingerlings hunt. Toys r us sent an email the other day where u could get 1 in store and I stupidly forgot about it. Called them that day and they said they had a bunch of unicorns, but they may be gone now. Well, to most kids a unicorn would be a dream, but not mine. Today on an online tracker it says GameStop has them, but not online. So now I need to hurry and get myself put together to see if they have them here locally. But, school’s out today. *sigh* I should’ve just bought it back in September when I had the chance. She didn’t even say she wanted it. I just think she might so it’d be a real surprise…lol It’s making me crazy!!

So, on a bad note. I made an apt. for my dog to be put down this afternoon and I’m doing everything I can not to think about it. But, it’s there and I feel horrible. It’s time, I know it is, but can you ever really know? *sigh* She’s been with us/me for almost 12yrs. and we basically grew up together. And, I know my other dog will take it even harder than me bc they’re a unit. Two different breeds, I got them within weeks of each other and they’re closer than any other dogs I’ve ever seen. :'(

This Fingerling thingie is crazy! I live in a town full of yuppies and they all want one for their little kids – all over Facebook – just nuts. It’s like Tickle Me Elmo and the Cabbage Patch Dolls, or Furbie, remember that creepy thing? Anyway. What does it do? The name sounds so DIRTY, or maybe I’ve been reading too much smut? FINGERLING. I think not!

Thank you guys! I just hate this. And it’s so expensive too, right at Christmas. We only have 1 income really, and he’s no doctor, and right at Christmas time…it’s $70 for the euthanasia, $80 for cremation, and $155 for ashes to take home. Unless we do take her home to bury, but I don’t like the thought of that either. πŸ™
Haha on the dirty word Michelle S! I thought the same thing earlier. I was one of the furby craze kids! All my friends were so jealous! πŸ˜‰ I was devestated one xmas when my mom spilled coffee on him. And the Gigi pets, tomagatchi or whatever. I had necklaces full of em. I’m sure my parents thought it was stupid too. That’s how I feel about the fidget spinner, but we have them anyway. It says they babble, blink, hang on your finger, blow kisses, swing their heads and tails. Oh and if you have more than one, clap your hands twice and they sing together.

First *hugs* That’s a hard thing to do. I admit, with mine (kitties), the first my dad went to the vet and the second, my brother did it for me. I don’t think I could. Give your husband an extra kiss for doing something like that.
Oh dear. Why do I have a feeling my niece would love those fingerlings. Ugh! I had cabbage patch kids. My mom even went into Sav-On back when the premies came out and begged if they had any. She got to go to the back and choose amongst a new shipment. (Yes, I was spoiled.)
Fidget spinner, well, it really does help some kids. Little dude got one and ignored it. *rolls eyes* As I said, some kids. That said, I’m thinking of getting a teething necklace for him. They look like normal necklaces, but you can chew on them. So he can still look “cool” and not damage his shirts. πŸ™‚

MichelleS I so loved that book. Smiling, sniffing, crying, then my heart was OMG. What an emotional ride. I started to read at work then I thought omg I’m going to cry at work. I really loved it.
And Tasha, I’m so very very sorry. Our doggie is 13 years and I am absolutely dreading that day. He’s the baby of the fam and is so spoilt. My girls even call him baby. Just like a death in the fam. Send your hubby and try not to think about it. Kisses.

Tasha babe – I recently had to put our family dog down and had a burial in our back yard. Like a real funeral it help the grieving processs and it really was a process… looking back I’m really glad my family all took part not only to say goodbye but to celebrate her life and how should taught what unconditional love really means.

My friend for the last 20 years, took my sweet Pixel (she died – PTS – a couple of years ago at the age of 15), and buried her in his yard. She is with his two dogs, and the two dogs and a cat of his girlfriend. And I’ve known them all (even their pets) all this time. I felt better, knowing she was with “family”. And near, where I could visit.
It breaks my heart though.

I just bought the ancestry.com thing for my mom. She’s been eyeballing it for a while now…
I did email Amazon and then I chatted with someone and they finally acquiesced and are refunding the difference in purchase price for me; at first, they wanted me to mail back my product and reorder… I was like, seriously?? *blink, blink* you’re going to pay for me to ship this back and reorder the same dang thing, when you can just refund me the difference in price…
Anywho… I’ve got a couple of ARC’s on my plate and still have to finish Pulse by Gail McHugh…

Tasha watch Elf on Friday, might be a small cheerful respite.
I have to ask. Why Elabell instead of Ellabella?
Am I just too into rhymes?

Tasha, I am so sorry about your dog. We have done home “burial” of 2 dogs, 3 parakeets, and a box turtle. God forbid if the next homeowners dig in the back flower bed. πŸ˜‰
I haven’t done any shopping, yet. Think I’m in denial that Christmas is less than a month away.

Michelle & Maryse–I think it’s so cool! And I can’t wait to find out what it says. All I’ve ever heard about my heritage my entire life is the joining of Russian and Czechoslovakian and how my maternal great grandmother said, ‘We’re home now, Papa.’ with tears in her eyes when they arrived at Ellis Island. Therefore, that’s all my son has ever heard. We know next to nothing about my dad’s or my husband’s ancestors outside of Tennessee. Let us know if you find out anything surprising, Michelle!
Grey–that’s neat for you too because you’ll be learning about your heritage as well!

Tasha, I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. *big comforting hug*
I heard recently some vets will do house calls when it’s time to put an animal down, that way your pet can be at home and as comfortable as possible their last few hours. Small mercies.

Sounds like Friends with Partial Benefits by Luke Young. I tried to make a comment on the site but it did not seem to show up??

Sounds like it could be Always Meant to Be by Siobhan Davis

Whew! Glad you checked in. I don’t know what I would read if you decided to stop posting your blog.

Girl…the panic when I found last week’s post at the top yesterday…and the detailed explanation my husband had to sit through of our long-blog relationship and your posting schedule. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ So glad you are good — hope everything is going smoothly with the move (as much as such a thing is possible anyway!)

Congratulations on the new house and your puppy!!! Eeek ❀️

Ahh wow!! Have a good clear out! Congratulations on your new home and all the health and happiness to enjoy it! 🏑

Missing your posts and wondered if all was well!

Take your time! We will be double excited for your next post! Can’t wait to hear more about the move and the new puppy. ❀️

Congrats on the new place!!!!

Glad to hear you're ok..was a tad worried ❀️

I’m happy for you.

Awesome!!

Hi Maryse's Book Blog. I was wondering why there was no new post. Congratulations on your new home!!!

Congratulations! Miss your recommendations! Question for you, do you know what happened to author Lisa de Jong? I just recently reread her Plastic Hearts series and want more of this series.

Call me 704-873+7629

Congratulations!

Omg you got a daniff! We have one. She was the worst puppy ever and I mean ever. Make sure you have a kennel. If she takes after Great Danes she will need time outs every few hours. If she takes after English mastiffs then you are golden. We love our English mastiffs.
