<— Mists of The Serengeti. THIS is one of my most recent favorite books ever!!! You know it, ’cause I’ve told you (P.S. Here’s my 5-star review in case you missed it).
But now? It is being devoured and loved like crazy by my fellow readers. In fact, my own book-buddy R just lost her mind over it. So if I couldn’t convince you to devour it with my review, maybe R can. 
R: I am EXHAUSTED! WRECKED! DRAINED! My whole body aches from sobbing and laughing and forcing my lungs into submission. I haven’t slept and I’ve eaten every chocolate-ish thing I could find in the house, including a bag of leftover chocolate chips from Valentine’s Day.
I’m at 72% and dreading the impending book hangover like it’s the Apocalypse. IT’S AWESOME!!! Maryse, thank you for getting me. She said the magic words, “…it’s for those of us that love those Suanne Laqueur, Emma Scott, Renee Carlino type of epic stories.” Yes, yes, and yes. <3 <3 <3 Author Leylah Attar, you are a rock star. This book, people. All the feels. Literally.
Emma: Yay! I have this on my Kindle, ready to go…
Maryse: DO IT!!!!!
!!!!
R: Yes! Do it!
Emma: Sorry, I’m just stuck at one line up there. *sniff*…<3 Maryse!!
R: Duh! I told Maryse I didn’t think I had book blurb catnip, but I have book review catnip! And Maryse nailed it!
Maryse: *happy wiggle*!!!!
R: This book hurts on a physical level. I’m just…gah…
Maryse: R. I know it!!!!!
Marina: LOVED, LOVED Mists of the Serengeti. Will stay with me forever.
Amy: OMG. Serengeti was beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. Heart-wrenching, sometimes difficult, and tear-inducing, but above all else it was beautiful. I can’t even think of what to read next. Another sure sign of a great read.
R: Mists of the Serengeti has had my stomach in giant knots the whole way through.
Amy: The epilogue. Oh, my heart. *clutches chest* GAH! I loved Serengeti.
See? SEEEEEEE???!!!

First!
And I’m totally entering this one! And my most epic read ever (go ahead guys and collectively roll your eyes
) The Fish Tales!
Would love to have this book! I can’t narrow just one book to my most epic read. But of inhale to Outlander!
I loved Mists of the Serengeti too! It’s my favorite read of 2017! I loved it so much that I’m trying to talk my husband into taking me to Africa.
Stupid autocorrect. If I have too*
Aww! How cool is this?!? Thank you so much for the opportunity Maryse, you are seriously *the best!* Thank you also to Ms. Attar for the penning this book, which I am finally getting a chance to sit down and lose myself in, and for donating it to Maryse to offer up to the lucky winner.
Sharing on Twitter and Facebook! Congratulations in advance to the lucky winner!
Oh holy crap! Yesterday morning out of the blue my husband said he has a deal in Ethiopia and he might have to go. There’s NO WAY he’s going without me.
And thanks, Maryse! 😘
Most epic read ever would be Wuthering Heights it even inspired my daughter’s name! Thanks for the chance would love to win
Thanks so much for the chance. I’ve heard such great things about this book! My most epic read was probably The Sea of Tranquilty. One of my favorites!!
epic. loved it 6 stars
I have had a love of reading, ever since I learned to read. In high school I read Gone with the Wind. My English teacher was so impressed & told me it was so hard to get students to read any book that long. I had read it more then twice!!! That was my 1st Epic Novel!!
Love this giveaway! My favorite epic book of all time, I have two of them. Gone With the Wind and Outlander. Both are so delicious and have stayed with me for YEARS! That’s pretty epic
My most epic read would have to be Bright Side by Kim Holden!!
It never fails to give me the “FEELS”!!!!
I really want to read this book! My most epic read is On the Island!
I’m not sure if it’s because it was one of the first indie books I’ve read, but I would have to say Thoughtless is still my favorite. And Kellen Kyle is still my favorite book boyfriend
Neat giveaway ☺️ Have heard great things about this book
My two favorite books are Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Unbreak My Heart by Lorelei James
Thanks for the chance!! I can’t just pick one!! The Gamble by Kristen Ashley and Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan are my go-to books. I have probably read them a dozen times.
However one book blew my mind, and not in the way you are probably thinking. Transcendence by Shay Savage is proof that with the right characters and imagery, you can make a great story out of anything. I ready this back last year, and I still think about it all the time! I hope this encourages some more people to take a chance on this book. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Maryse for everything you do!!
My most epic read ever would have to be The Bronze Horseman! Thank you for the chance!
Most Epic Read Ever…….OH my old brain lol… I’m still very in love with Exhaltations of Larks!!! I also LOVED Bright Side, Carnage, Taking Chances, The Memory Thief….I feel like I’m picking my favorite child
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! My epic read is The Sea of Tranquility! I stared at the wall and cried for 10 mins after finishing.
The Art of Laughing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It made me look at my dogs (my babies) in a whole new way that now I wonder more than ever what they are thinking!
I absolutely loved Mists Of The Serengeti!! My most epic read was The Bronze Horseman.
Ahhh-that’s so hard! But The Sea of Tranquility is a definite front runner!
This book looks amazing! Thank you so much for the chance! I’d have to say that The Bronze Horseman is my most epic read.
Oh geez, I was so excited I forgot to put my most epic read… I’d have to say I just finished the longest book ever a couple weeks ago… The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith. After that, I’d probably vote for the Harry Potter series, because I read them back to back as one book, as a bedtime story out loud to/with my daughter when she was younger.
Ive heard great things about this book but haven’t read it. It’s so hard to choose my most EPIC read, but I’m gonna go with It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. Thanks for the chance, Maryse
Loved loved this book. And I almosted peed on my self . When they were eating with the tribe. And she was sitting in his lap. And the old lady gave her a bracelet. And he told her that it was a water drop that landed on her head. But when they got back to the truck he told her the old lady spit on her. I would ❤to have this book.
Can’t wait to read this one!!!
Ooh I’ve to enter (US forwarding addresses ftw lol). Eeep couldn’t pick just one best epic read ever so best epic read so far in 2017 instead… and that has to be Unravel by Calia Read!
One that was much more emotional than I expected was One Thousand Boy Kisses. Thanks for the chance!
I’d like to win a signed copy of this book!! Such an amazing story! Love it….

Quite honestly, this book has become an instant favorite for me. I literally fell in love with it.

Mists of The Serengeti is my most epic read. I have been trying for weeks to get into another book. This one owns my soul.
Loved this book!!! Thanks!
The one that springs to mind and immediately sealed my eternal love of all things Jasinda Wilder (Jack too), “Falling into You” which gutted me.
