Following my heart, one book at a time...
<— BLAST FROM OUR PAST!! REMEMBER THIS ONE?? Our crew went crazy for it and so many buddy read it together. And I’m immortalizing that fun conversation, right here.
Sarah: To say this book knocked me on my tail is an understatement. One of the main things I love about Ilsa’s writing is that you never know what you are going to get. You judge a book by it’s cover, you see small teasers, and you THINK you know what you are in for. Well let me tell you, you literally have NO IDEA.
<— HOLY MOLY LOOK AT THAT!!!!! 😂🤣 This is wayyyyyy too much fun!!! I just love being inspired by my old posts that make up these lists and creating something so fun to go with it! As you can tell, my big highlight of this day, from back in time, was our HUGE love for Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series!!!! It rocked our worlds, left and right, throttled us, and kept us coming back for more, and THAT ending!!! *whooooooooooof* that was something else!
And then… a few years later, the author surprised us with a sort of spin-off plus another book featuring our favorite couple!!
IT’S TIME FOR INSTALLMENT #3 of our official Throwback Thursday post. Apparently, I’ve always had a soft spot for forbidden love… because three posts from this day in past years all fall squarely into the we-shouldn’t-but-we-did category.
YES PLEASE!!! BUT IN BOOKS!!! Always only IN BOOKS!!! LOL!!!
Grey: I am a bit of a “mood reader”; bottom line, if I’m reading a forbidden love story, I want to feel the angst, give me those pretzel tummy feels… And what’s the reason why it’s forbidden, blur the lines a bit, make me ache with the main character.
IT’S TIME FOR INSTALLMENT #2 of our official Throwback Thursday post.
You may be wondering what my deal is with the whole “angel” theme today. 🙃 😇 Well… going back through my posts, I see there was a guardian angel reader question, and also a post where I lost my mind over an angel & a vampire book cover, of all things, back in 2011 from a series that I loved like CRAZY. And thinking about it now, I realized that whole entire time period, I absolutely LOVED books about angels and humans (or vampires) or fallen angels falling in love. I devoured quite a few.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! IT’S THROWBACK THURSDAY TIME!!!Yep. You’ve seen thttps://www.maryse.net/editorial/throwback-thursday-on-this-day-on-maryses-book-blog-january-1st-happy-new-year.htmlhis before, (and I got great feedback on that fun feature), so I’m bringing it back! Every Thursday, I will take a little trip down memory lane and look back at everything I’ve posted on this exact day over the years.
From new release lists and my book favorites to forgotten gems (like interviews!!), here’s what was happening on Maryse’s Book Blog on January 1st, throughout the years (since 2010!!!). Can you believe it?? Some of these posts feel like yesterday… and others surprised me all over again. It’s always fun to see how my reading tastes (and blogging style!) have evolved.
