SATURDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! KATHRYN PEREZ FANS LOOOOOOOK!!!!! So many of you guys cried like crazy over “Therapy” and look what just went LIVE!!!!
➜ THERAPY Ever After by Kathryn Perez!!
➜ And speaking of intense, beautifully written, emotional books, I 4.5 starred this FANTASTIC book, and it’s super-bargain priced right now!!! In the Stillness by Andrea Randall (my review)
Oh!! Look what’s live (and a few more… a smaller list today, but everything on it looks DARN good), and of course, the reader recommendations appear to be top-notch! Scroll down for our book-find goodies!
In fact… HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK ALERT! Okay my BIGGEST recommendation of the day is going to be Me Before You: A Novel by Jojo Moyes. Yes… I know many of you know how HARD I recommend this book (my review), but now since the movie trailer has come out, this book has jumped right back up the charts (it’s #5 right now in ALL of Kindle books), so I’m realizing many fellow readers are just now jumping in. OMG you guys are in for EVERYTHING. One of the BEST BOOKS EVER!
Maryse: OH. EM. GEEEEEE!!!! I will be there with bells on!!! 😀 Wow it’s something when a trailer can make you cry… That Me Before You trailer made me cry. I MEAN CRY. Big sloppy tears falling on my feet! (I was sitting cross-legged)…
Amy: Well, now I’m crying and screwing up my freshly applied makeup. That’s what I get for watching the trailer right before I need to leave. Dammit. Gah, that book was SO beautiful!!!!
Cheryl: Ugh, crying just watching it;… I’m glad I watched it after I had my picture taken for my passport renewal. Would hate that pic to follow me for ten years!!
Grey: Am I the only one on the planet that hasn’t read Me Before You? …if I’m strong… maybe, I’ll read Me Before You. But I’m not sure me… or my tear ducts, or my Kleenex (read wine budget) can take it…
DG: *raising hand* Grey – I haven’t read it either….might need to read the blurb again….
Jean: … I still haven’t gotten up the guts to read the book! I definitely need to read it before the movie is released! Now, I have to avoid the trailer because I really have no idea what it’s about, but I know it hurts!
Maryse: Read the book first, Grey. The trailer will be SO MUCH MORE meaningful to you. PLEASE. READ. THE. BOOK. NOW.
*someone hand Grey Manny again…*
Amy: Me Before You is NOT one of those that will have you crying from beginning to end. It’s beautiful with great dry humor and cringe-worthy moments (I love Louisa *snort*) and it’s touching and OMG soooooo worth any tears there might be. And after you have read it *then* go and watch the trailer. …I just watched the MBY trailer. Again. And cried. Again. READ IT LADIES!!! *sneaks off to watch trailer again*
Danielle: Omg it had me tearing up
Jennifer: *wipes tears. Watches again. And again*
Jeannie: Finally a movie I can’t wait to see! I think the movie is going to make me cry more than the book did.
Gabby: I just bawled my eyes out
Leeann: Ok, I thought I was the only one who cried while watching this. Glad you guys are all with me! Can’t wait to see it.
Dawnee: Yep. Made me cry…
Emma: Whaaa.. bawling like a baby. Can’t wait!
Judie: The trailer is killing me – I can’t imagine what the movie will do……oh man!!
Cindy: I didn’t think I would but I totally did – cried! Love this story and can’t wait for the movie!
P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

The Ground Rules (Book 1) (The Rule Breakers Series) by Roya Carmen <— FORBIDDEN-Y TROUBLE-MAKER ALERT!! I also loved this angsty forbidden-y one!! It made my best of 2015 list, and here it is, super bargain priced, ’cause book #3 is coming out soon. YAY US!! (my review)- My Soul To Keep (Soul Series Book 1) by Kennedy Ryan <— Theresa has one for us!!! “Hey Maryse! I just finished My Soul to Keep by Kennedy Ryan and it was really good! It is a rock star romance but has a very different feel from other rock star books I have read. There is a lot of emotional layering and a very slow build in the relationship, but that build is riddled with great banter, steamy moments ,angst (but not so over the top that you find yourself rolling your eyes), and a genuine friendship. The author’s character development is superb and her writing is beautiful and relatable. I really enjoyed the story from start to finish…looking forward to the sequel, Down to My Soul, which I believe is due out next month! Happy reading!”
Resisting Her by Kendall Ryan <— RAISED IN A CULT/INNOCENT HEROINE ALERT!

Fighting Solitude (On The Ropes Book 3) by Aly Martinez <— FIGHTER ALERT! This recent release is being touted as the best in the series!!! And since I love this author, I’m SO gonna read this! Theresa: “Ladies I just finished Fighting Solitude by Aly Martinez…put it at the top of your TBR lists…it was AMAZING!!! 5 star read for me! …From the very beginning it had me hooked.
