HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!! 😀 Well, er… I mean… all of my American friends (I had my Happy Canada Day fun with my Canadian friends and family just a few days ago)… 😉 OMG I’m SO HAPPY!! I LOVE it here, too!!! But really. I hope EVERYONE has an awesome day today, no matter where you are. <3
Yep! It’s a fun day indeed, and even funner ’cause I’m gonna read all day (and yes, I will eat barbecue’d stuff and corn and have fruity drinks, too! All with my nose in a book).
YAY ME!!! Best. Day. Ever!
bev: What is everyone planning on reading over the next couple days? If you have a plan? If I don’t squirrel I want to finish up Sofia Khan is Not Obliged, feel like I’m reading again….maybe, and one I randomly pulled from my tbr Imperfect Chemistry.
Maryse: I’ve decided on a “horror” post apocalyptic… The Fireman: A Novel by Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son). So far, so good… it’s not really scary so far… more like an epidemic breakout that destroyed the world…
We have even more choices, ’cause today’s big NEW RELEASE DAY happens to be today. Admittedly, this is not a big list today. (barely 45+ books?
*gasp*) But it’s understandable. Despite it being the smallest list I’ve made in ages… I have a feeling it’s ’cause so many of us are celebrating this amazing day.
No worries. Next Tuesday will be delightfully overwhelming ’cause it’s going to be a BIG day (Prime Day!!!!). ![]()
Short-ish list aside, today has some serious heavy-hitters!! 😀 Like Everything We Left Behind (it’s a sequel and I read the blurb by accident, but now I want to read the entire trilogy!!!! This is right up our angsty heartache alley!), Just the Thing (her hot new self-defense teacher is an ex-Marine), After All (Karina Halle’s latest about a famous actor trying to clean up his image, and the “normal” girl that is thrust into his spotlight), Steal (Rachel Van Dyken’s latest… they were once in love, and now they hate each other but they have to tour together, and their drama comes out on stage – ruh roh!!!) and of course Madeline Sheehan’s Undeserving that went live on Sunday, but that many are devouring as we speak!
P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).
