Long-Lost Sister: An unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twistby N.L. Hinkens <— SHE’S NOT HERE TO PLAY SISTERS “…I just met my long-lost sister — and now she wants me to do something bad. It started with a DNA test and a match on a genealogy site. One click, and suddenly my world flipped. I have a sister I never knew about. Callie Madden-Bramston — gorgeous, wealthy, married to a man who looks like he stepped off a yacht. Her life is all designer handbags and luxury holidays. Mine? Not so much. Maxed-out credit cards, secondhand clothes, a history of bad choices and eviction notices. I didn’t start off looking for anything from her. I just wanted to get to know her. But when we finally meet in a coffee shop, Callie makes it clear: she’s not here to play sisters. So why do I say yes when she asks me to do something very dangerous?…”

Once the most prestigious independent booksellers in London, the store is a shadow of its former self and needs an expert outsider to turn things around. But the offer turns out to be a double-edged sword: Leo Ross, the store’s new owner, is as cold and hostile as the British winter...”

HAPPY MONDAY, HAPPY LABOR DAY & HAPPY 1st day of September!!! Is it fall yet? It isn’t but it’s gonna be. YAY US!!!

<— P.S. DID YOU MISS THIS SURPRISE RELEASE yesterday??? The House Guest: A Contemporary Romance by Penelope Ward IS LIVE!!!!! It sounds right up our alley!! He just inherited billions, and she’s living in the mansion that now belongs to him… GAH I LOVE THE SOUND OF IT!!

Linda: Click!!

Mary Ann: Yay! Click!

AND ALSO THIS UNREQUITED LOVE ONE that is calling me so hard!! Maya Alden’s latest and it’s right up my angsty unrequited love breakup alley!! —> She’s Like The Wind: A Second Chance Love Story (A Modern Vintage Romance)

So… I had an at home spa-day yesterday (meaning that I did it all) LOL! And it was both scary and a lot of fun. Nails, pedicure but the scary part? Doing my own eyelashes. Eeeeeep! Eyeballs and chemicals scare me (but BOY DO I LOVE eyelashes!!!!), and I was finally ready to take the plunge:

 

Three things:

1.) I lifted and tinted my eyelashes this weekend with the Luxe Cosmetics – Lash Lift Kit. I already have my review ready to go for you. It worked, but boyyyyyy did the first few steps require my patience with my stubborn lashes and tiny lids!! I’ll tell you all about that too.

2.) I also tinted my eyelashes with their black eyelash tint but that didn’t work much (yet!!). Just made them a darker blonde sort of brown. LOL!! Though I’ll be re-trying that another day. I think my eyelashes had too much going on when I tried to dye them at the same time.

3.) P.S. For flashier days, have you tried THESE cluster eyelashes yet? They go on the underside of your lashes instead of on top!! LOVING them because they are so easy to put on and take off, pretty much last about 3 days if I’m careful, and I don’t need to add any glue, or magnets or eyeliner to get them to stick. And there’s no band so they are soft and not stiff!!! Perfect for my tiny eyelids, since I can customize the look with the sizes I choose. My only complaint? They are suuuuper delicate since they don’t have a band, so you have to take them out/off of the case very carefully or they’ll stretch and break (or twist up like an elastic band). P.S. There are about 4 or 5 different styles/looks of these “self adhesive” ones in this brand (I have “rabbit” <— a little extra oomph without being too much and “lace” <— super delicate looking barely-there and so nice- next I’m getting “twin“)

 

Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!
