TODAY’S QUICK HURRICANE IRMA AFTERMATH UPDATE: HERE I AM!!!😀 Okay still no electricity, and cell service goes on and off for hours at a time… but my freezer loaded in frozen water bottles is totally holding up (everything is still frozen solid) and I keep moving a water bottle or two up to the fridge to keep THAT cold, so it’s working! PLUS! I’m here and I’m reading my heart out.
P.S. BOOK UPDATE!!! I’m reading “Until It Fades: A Novel” by K.A. Tucker, and this book is AWESOME!!!!! She saves a famous hockey star from a car crash and doesn’t realize who he is… Soooooooooo much more than the impression I got from the blurb (which was awesome in itself. Totally gave me a blurb jolt) and WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! THIS… wow. It is deep, and intense, and has so much more than what you expect is going to happen. And I’m being inundated with tummy-love-butterflies and I’m LOVING how on the edge of my seat I am with this. I think this is going to be one of my 2017 favorites and I mean right at the top! Ohhhhhh how I am in love with it. And now back to it. 🙂
P.S. Happy Birthday to my fellow book-twin, Amy!!! 😀 I hope today is your best day ever, and that every day following, is even better than that!
And now… LOOKIT ALL THE BOOKS!!!!!! 85+ books on today’s list, and with so many choices, you know I had some blurbs that totally jolted me in excitement.
Which ones gave me a blurb jolt? :D!!! ➔ Drumline (It’s actually a recent release and is on today’s reader recs section, but OMG!!! Did Krista just compare the hero to TRAVIS?!?!? MINE MINE MINE!!!!!) Blood Guard (heck YES!! This sounds like a gritty “old-school” vampire romance… the human bartender and the vampire that steals her away to an underground world she never knew about. You know… ’cause we’re human and all. And P.S. they NEED her), Mark My Words (it just got re-released with a gorgeous new cover, and it’s a psych thriller that sounds all stalker-y. YES PLEASE!! I hope it creeps me out goooooood!!), Play On (that one up there to the left! Sounds like a rock-star book, and they were perfect together until he left suddenly. And now she finds out he HATES her so much, but she has NO idea why), Forget Me Not (DARK READ!! She was kidnapped by his father, and he helped her, but she left him there with his monster… and now as adults, she’s guilt ridden. And he’s back. Sounds like he’s a monster too), Fraternize (Rachel Van Dyken’s latest and she’s a curvy cheerleader, up against all sorts of rules but she’s thrilled at her new spot! Except… she’s not allowed to fraternize with the football players. Yeah… this should be good 😉 tee hee!), Lust (OMG THIS ONE!!!! She’s a single mom prostitute, and the tattooed bad-ass cop arrests her… and then THIS: “I was a whore of the highest value. Until Detective Adrian Potter. Until the tattooed, redemption-seeking detective entered my life, looking for his fairytale. The cop and the hooker. Happily ever f**king never.” MINE!!!!!!) and The Rejected Wife (arranged marriage and he HATES her. In fact, he married her to make her pay “…no transgression against the Solace family will go unpunished. It is my duty to make sure she pays for what she has done. And the best part is, she’ll be paying for her mistake… …for as long as we both shall live…”).
And there are quite a few more that sound awesome that I highlighted below. AND! Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s 10 Monday Earlybird Book Releases!!
