Maryse’s Favorite Book Lists

By 2 Comments

This post is simple to compile my whole batch of “favorites lists” into one page right here, so I can update it each time I make a new one (like my “Best of the year” lists), as an example. 😉

Christina: My mom is a huge fan of yours and showed me your favorite books of 2019 list. I have read so many on there…

Julie: Always look forward to this list!

Lisa C: Maryse, you and I are very similar in our book choices so if you like it, I like it. With the exception of some of the dark reads…I’m a baby! Thank you so much!!!! read more

Reader Favorites – Nancy’s Best of 2022 List

By 5 Comments

It’s Nancy’s yearly “Best of” list, and while this may be the last one of these until next year, this is certainly not the least!!

Some sweet comment highlights:

Maryse: ❤️ Nancy, you will forever be one of my grandest, greatest friends. It feels like we’ve known each other forever.

Nancy: When I first found your page we both were into paranormal heavy. Then we left Twilight stage & Edward behind. Then when I got my first Kindle there was no stopping all the books I have collected. I love when you do the oldies but goodies! Memories galore! read more

YAY it’s Lauren’s list and I LOVE how she categorized this!! I’m dying to play in her “WTF” category. Tee hee!! As usual, I included comments from our book crew that loved some on this list, too.

P.S. This is her second “Best of” list with us, and I linked last year’s, below. 😀

Hey there!

Here is my Best of 2022 List! I have my top 5 in each category! In no particular order…

BOOK BOYFRIENDS😍

Sorry that was 6 🤣

WTF DID I JUST READ?!?!?

ALL THE FEELS

MichelleS: I recently finished “Darling Venom”, by Parker Huntington. It’s KU, so I gave it a try. I’m glad I did. The cover makes you think it’s going to be some cheesy romance. It’s absolutely not. It’s a complicated story of love and loss and trying to find your way in the aftermath. There’s a sister relationship that had me interested. A “his brother” relationship. Then there’s “his dad”…. it’s just a really great read. Don’t judge this book by it’s cover. read more

I love so many new to me authors!! I need to read Jennifer Harttman as she has been on so many best of the year for 2021! I loved the first two books in the Queens and Monster Series and somehow I missed the last! And if you want to read a great MC Series, I have read all of Jamie Begley’s, I so agree! read more
