Reader Favorites – Mony’s Best of 2021 List

March 14, 2022 By Maryse 8 Comments

I *think* this is the very last “Best of 2021” list left that I just received, and it’s from my fellow Canadian, who’s one of our frequent contributors when it comes to recommendations. And let me say I am so thrilled to get her list! Ana too!

Ana: I can’t wait, when can we see Mony top books of 2021

I’ve included some of her fun past comments for some of her favorites below, as she was reading or recommending them πŸ™‚

BUT FIRST!! A little look into her “slice of life” comments in 2021: read more

Maryse’s Top Ten Favorite Books in 2021

February 23, 2022 By Maryse 23 Comments

Okay IT IS READY!!!!!Β Yay!! 😁 πŸ˜€ I know, I know… it took me awhile to get it together, but here they are, in all of their splendor and glory. My favorite books of 2021!! ALL MUST READS.

Some swoon-worthy romance (that had me giggling like mad at times), some thrillers, some really deep and heartfelt growth/love stories, some crazy twists that had my jaw drop. All of them… unforgettable! πŸ˜€

Beautiful Savage by Lisa Sorbe <— 5 STAR SUPER FEMALE PSYCHO-STALKER ALERT! And it made a mess of my head. Right to the very end!!!! Here’s my 5-STAR review, and a little snippet from it, to give you a taste. πŸ˜‰ read more

Reader Favorites – Kelly’s Best of 2021 List

February 9, 2022 By Maryse 8 Comments

It’s Kelly’s list!! She’s our resident “reader question/guess the book” guesser, and I LOVE her help with them. She’s got a ton of books under her belt!!

That said, as you’ll see in her not to us below, I think she suffered a bit from the same thing many of us went through over the last “Covid year” (or two…) – reading issues. BUT!!! She came up with an amazing huge list, and I love how she presents each “pick” to us. read more

Reader Favorites – Jan’s Best of 2021 List

January 30, 2022 By Maryse 7 Comments

And now… it’s Jan’s turn! She’s our resident historical romance lover, and she does enjoy other genres too!! But if you’re looking for awesome HR, Jan’s your girl!!

Let’s see some fun comments from her over the last year, first (including books and authors that didn’t necessarily make her β€œBest of 2021” list), but that she still highly recommended this year… πŸ™‚. πŸ˜‰

I’m mostly Scottish, then English, then Germany and Sweden. But same parts of the world. 100% northern Europe and Scandinavia. read more

Reader Favorites – Kathy’s Best of 2021 List

January 30, 2022 By Maryse 4 Comments

IT’S KATHY’S turn!! She’s our resident deal finder, book recommender, and reader question solver and I just love all of her comments! In fact… let’s get to know her better, shall we?

Here are some fun comments from Kathy over the last year (including books and authors that didn’t necessarily make her “Best of 2021” list), but that she still highly recommended this year… πŸ™‚

So many yummy recipes. My husband was on Keto but it was bad for his cholesterol. The doctor suggested the Mediterranean diet, we just need to start it!I have never thought about baking feta. Yum! read more

MY LATEST 4.5 STAR REVIEW ---> www.maryse.net/books/book-review-still-beating-by-jennifer-hartmann.html

I was wondering if you’d find this one. I read so much I don’t remember a lot of what I’ve read, but I will remember this one. Very unique and difficult. The aftermath was very interesting.

Jennifer Hartmann πŸ‘€ This is an amazing book! πŸ™Œ

Thank you for reading!! πŸ’—πŸ’—
