Book Bash Author Spotlight – Debra Anastasia’s “Saving Poughkeepsie” Cover Reveal!

By 5 Comments

I lovedΒ Poughkeepsie (The Poughkeepsie Series Book 1)!!! Book #1 was so intense for me, and I could barely put it down. I was sooooo entranced with the premise (a girl that befriends a homeless guy… and they get VERY close). I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t imagine it!! But with the subsequent back-story, and the “living” of it, I was hooked! Check out my review. You’ll see. πŸ˜‰

And then… there were MORE… πŸ˜€

I still need to catch up, but some of our fellow readers jumped right in and LOVED book #2 (Return to Poughkeepsie (The Poughkeepsie Series). read more

The Dark Light of Day
My Facebook crew started talking about this book on Friday and it appeared to be putting them in an emotional frenzy. Dark, and crazy sounding (but not our “usual” dark read – no kidnappers or Stockholm syndrome in this one), but either way, their enthusiasm alone had me Β jumping on it! AndΒ I was already “in”, on my way to purchase the book, but once I read this part in the synopsis…

Homeless, sleeping in a junkyard, and on the run from a system that has failed her over and over again, she meets Jake, a tattooed blue-eyed biker with secrets that rival her own. read more

Currently Reading… Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia

Poughkeepsie
I just wanna tell you all…. I’m reading a MAGNIFICENT book. This is one to be shared ASAP!! Captured me from the very first line. I just can’t stop thinking about it (at work)Β and I’m only 20% in (and I had been reading intently for what felt like hours!!) To my delight, it’s yet again another LONG book. Love those!

Remember “Finding Home“? It’s sorta like that (but thankfully, everyone is in their mid 20’s). Compassion and kindness to someone who normally would not receive it, two beautiful souls, and the friendship that is building absolutelyΒ has my heart. Absolutely. I have a strong feeling this one may end up being a serious favorite. read more

Book Review – Finding Home by Bonnie Dee and Lauren Baker

Finding Home
I’m an emotional book-zombie mess again!! I stayed up all night, reading this un-put-downable book. I ended up caring too much for a couple of characters that have both elated me, and disturbed me (well, especially one in particular). They made me sad, made me happy, made me sigh with the sweetness, made me worry, made me say to myself over and over again… “Oh no. This is not good. This can’t be good in the long run. This is trouble.” And yet, I loved it. read more
