Oh boy today’s list sure got a fun reaction, especially when it came to the “Bad Reviews” post below. Tee hee!!! Check ’em all out:

TODAY’S BLASTS FROM OUR BOOK PAST 😀 !!

Connie: Thanks so much for including the Blasts from the Past books. I upped some on my TBR list and had some some great reminiscing. Brings me to Brightside . . . sigh. While it was lovely having closure for Gus, what I really need closure on, and, therefore, another book in the series, is the college boyfriend, Keller Banks, and his young son! Pretty please, Kim Holden, one more! Love your blog and your lists! read more

TODAY’S “BLAST FROM THE PAST” BOOK HIGHLIGHTS:

Cait: Can’t believe this was four years ago!!

Maryse: I know it, right?? That was such a fun list to make!!

Meredith: The Host. The first time I read it it, I closed the book, hugged it to my chest and tried to figure out what to do next….which was to immediately start rereading it. 🤣🤣 I still get the same feeling every time I read it now, I 100% don’t want it to be over.

Taylor:  I was literally here to say this. I WANT A HOST SEQUEL read more

Here’s a Blast From Our Book Past – 09-02-20

By 4 Comments

Oh yes, 😋 today’s “Blast From Our Book Past” list is short but OH SO SWEET!!!! Two books, and 1 series that I 5-STARRED with my whole heart, and still stand by them with my whole heart (they hit me so hard that I still remember how I felt when I read them).

HOLY MOLY MUST READS!!!!!!!

Remember these? If you don’t, lucky you because it means you get to read them for the first time!!! 😀

  • 4 YEARS AGO TODAY, I read a book that was completely out of my norm and I LOST MY MIND over it. One of the best books I have EVER read in my life.
    Thrilling, terrifying, SO CLEVER and often hilarious (due to being in the main character’s head ). UNPUTTDOWNABLE!!! And of course, I loved the movie, but I read this first and it was SO much better. P.S. I crushed hard on this character, too. Big time. And maybe even the author (’cause HOLY MOLY can he write & in essence, he was the genius behind his main character!!!). My 5-STAR Book Review of The Martian by Andy Weir
  • 7 YEARS AGO TODAY, I 5-STAR LOVED this one!! This book left me reeling, but in a good way. This one’s a stunner. It’s devastating, brilliant, and clever! Book Review – The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
  • 10 YEARS AGO TODAY… I (and many of us) lost my mind over this series and crushed HARD on a hero (or sort of… anti-hero) named “Terrible”. I have Terrible Fever – My Review of the Downside Ghosts Series by Stacia Kane

Sherry: Oh Terrible ….. sigh

Maryse: Right? HOLY MOLY ADDICTION!

Melanie: Can’t believe it’s been 10 years! I absolutely loved this series. Must be time for a reread! I haven’t read a hero like Terrible in a long time. read more

These were unforgettable and so fun (or so crazy) and if you haven’t read them yet and are wondering what to read… now’s your chance!

Of course, that depends on what you’re in the mood for. 😉 And you know me… my book-tastes change wildly from one day to the next. read more

Reader Question – The book where the main couple’s song was “I Remember You” by Skid Row

By 4 Comments

Mandy is looking for this book! And LOL!! At first she only gave me ONE tidbit and it was a small one. Luckily she came back with a bit more info, so *fingers crossed* that someone might know it. 😉

P.S. Her question prompted me to tell my own “real life” blast from the past story, below, that really matches this!!

She asked:

Mandy: Help I can’t think of a name of a book! It has the song I remember you by skid row! It was such an amazing book 😉 even though I can’t remember the details… read more
