Maryse's Book Blog

HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! Over 70 books went live plus some awesome book-bargains too!! And that one to the left is calling my name!!! 😀

<— Laura: I read this as an arc. It’s different to One Day in December: A Novel but just as wonderful if not even better!

BLURB JOLTS… SO MANY TODAY!! Like that one there to the left! HOLY MOLY. The Two Lives of Lydia Bird (she’s grieving her husband and trying to get on with her life and then she gets a chance at her old life again… what?!!) House of Earth and Blood (Sarah J Maas!! Her friends were murdered by a demon and he’s a fallen angel), Monogamy Book One (<—this week’s newsletter sponsor, and her book sounds so romantically intense!! Her life completely changes when she finds a stranger in her bed…), Waiting for my Queen (she wants to marry for love, but she’s just a pawn in the mafia world and he takes her for himself), The Wrong/Right Man (Aurora Rose Reynolds!! Oooops! She had a blind date… with the wrong man 😉 ) The Twin (psych-thriller!! The twin sisters are reunited but one is trying to push her out of her own life!!), You Are Not Alone: (psych-thriller by my favorite writing duo!! She wants to be just like them…”When they invite Shay into their circle, everything seems to get better. Shay would die for them to like her. She may have to…”).

Michele G: I was fortunate enough to read You Are Not Alone early and enjoyed it. I wanted a little more from the ending but still gave it 4 stars. I felt like it was a psych thriller with a more unusual premise than some I’ve read before.

Maryse: It’s funny because I feel the same way about all of their books (Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen) so far that they’ve released together. Riveting, unique psych-thrillers that I might even be able to relate to… and yet the endings are not quite “enough” for me. Yet, the stories as a whole (and the reveals) are so good that I love them anyway.

Nay: I agree!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!! New week, new month and it’s almost spring!! 🙂 Today’s list isn’t huge (tomorrow’s is going to be, though!!), but if I find more, I’ll add them in. Also!! I posted my latest review so in case you missed it yesterday, here it is again: Book Review – The Life That Mattered by Jewel E. Ann.

And now…

Three things:

I watched I See You on Saturday and let me tell you, if this had been a book, this would have been the EXACT psych-thriller read I’m always looking for. I LOVED IT!! So clever and so many twists, and I kept guessing stuff (or assuming stuff) but when the reviews say you won’t be able to guess the ending, they were right!!!! At least for me. 😉 So much going on (despite being easy to follow) but it all made sense in the end. FANTASTIC!!!!

So my organic “Misfit Vegetables” box shipment last week had a HUGE Kohlrabi in it. I’ve never had one nor have I ever seen one before and so I tried to make it (chopped it into chunks and roasted it with cheese) and it’s… alright I guess. There was just so much of it (I mean this thing was the size of my head) so it was just a big job and a lot of vegetable. LOL!! I’d say it tastes pretty mild… like a cross from cabbage, cauliflower and maybe a bit of turnip? I dunno. Many say it’s a great potato substitute and I’d agree. Chops like a potato, and I bet it would mash nicely too.

My new favorite Keto snack (or meal replacement on occasion) are Quest bars. They’re pretty satisfying when my sweet tooth kicks in and a I want a cookie or something. In fact, many hint at heating them up in the microwave a bit or even cutting them into pieces and baking them in the oven like mini cookies. So I took a blueberry muffin one, and heated it up, and put just a touch of butter on it. YUMMY!! Just like putting a bit of butter on a real warm muffin, but… not. 😉

LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE  !!!

1. One Night Stand-In (Boyfriend Material Book 3) by Lauren Blakely <— LAUREN BLAKELY ALERT!!! HE’S HER EX!!! “…he’s not only an ex-lover, he’s also an ex-friend. We didn’t just break up – we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed. Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past…”

It’s still wrong to want him. And it’s still wrong to carry his baby. Damn, my mother is going to be furious. But he’s the only one who can find my stalker. Peter heads a police station.…”
