Following my heart, one book at a time...
bev’s Best of 2017 list is ready!!! :D!!! Y’all know her as our “quiz-conversation” starter (“whether they be fun book quizzes, or “life” ones), she’s our resident hilarious one.
Full on belly-laughs with some of the things that pop out of her head, especially when she posts a “conversation wrap up” of the previous day for those who missed it. She cracks us up each and every time!
In fact, let’s take a walk down memory lane with some of bev’s personal insights into life… 😉
Oh YES YES YES!!! MichelleS brought this up today, and of COURSE, the majority of time, if I’m “feeling” the heroine, I almost feel like I BECOME the heroine. It’s me. But then, I thought again… and I realize… not quite. 😉
MichelleS: It’s WEDNESDAY! Can we play WCW? (Woman crush Wednesday). You’ve mentioned your go-to hotties for male roles.
Do you cast yourself as female heroine? If I need a short, smart, sassy Brunette my go-to girl is Anna Kendrick. Love her sassy little self. I guess I could use Maryse too! She’s like a Anna Kendrick too! Ha! Amy can be in all my emotional YAs. But I’m probably picturing her all wrong.
Drumline
Pretty great cover, unique spin on the college “it group” (instead of the sports stars, it’s the band stars!) and hugely recommended by so many authors and readers, that I was very excited to give this one a go. In fact the hero in this one was compared to my beloved bad-ass, Travis, so you know I was rubbing my hands in glee to feel that feeling again.
Krista: MARYSE!!!!! AHHHhh!! OMG!!!! You NEED to read Drumline by Stacy kestwick ASAP… It has a beautiful disaster feel with Laird giving Travis a very close run for the lead!!!! Say what!?! I know right? I’m only at chapter 14 and I CANT put it down!! Seriously!! I think – no I know – you will LOVE it!! A snare Drumline geek hero and a strong quit-wit stubborn heroine. Stop what your doing and READ this book!! Gotta go!!
UPDATED May 17th 2019!!!
COLLEGE NEW ADULT ROMANCE FUN ALERT!!!! I had SO MUCH fun with this one (and laughed my butt off! Here’s my review), and now it’s a series!!!!! In fact, book #2 is about a TOTAL jerk-face (that ONE from book #1 that infuriated us so hard), and… the author just announced that she’s releasing book #3!!!
D.G.: Finished How To Date A Douchebag….LOVED it! It definitely had a The Deal feel to it! …How to date A Douchebag was one of my favs from last year…so #2 is a definite one-click!!!
Lighthearted series by a much-loved comedy romance author, and book #3 is up for preorder!
Linda: Cream of the Crop by Alice Clayton and Bossman by VI Keeland are the latest romantic comedies I’ve read and adored. Couldn’t put them down!!! Two authors that never fail me!!
About book #1:
Roxie Callahan is a private chef to some of Hollywood’s wealthiest, and nastiest, calorie-counting wives. After a dairy disaster implodes her carefully crafted career in one fell ploop, she finds herself back home in upstate New York, bailing out her hippie mother and running the family diner.
