Susan: King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett Sinclair came out a few weeks ago and today the 2nd book released Queen of Myths and Monsters. It’s been years since I read a vampire book and was intrigued by all the hype. It’s great!!! I’m rereading it now so I can jump right in on the second book. Finally a good one..

Joy: Hi Maryse!! Merry Christmas! I just finished reading books one through four of The Legacy of the Nine Realms series by Amelia Hutchins. As with many of her other books, I love the storyline and most of the characters. This author has perfected the craft of leaving her fans waiting for more, lol!!

➜ Dave Hutchinson’s “Fortune Cats Intercession” is LIVE & we’ve got 5 Fun Facts + a giveaway! <--- KICK-ASS HEROINE SERIES! “...Hoping to seek some calm in her life, she decides to take the route of philanthropy.

And this puts her into the international limelight,…" 

The author says:

...I had been outlining a sport centric manuscript told from a male perspective, when a new character was needed for background verisimilitude. I made quick work of sketching out a female Korean golf instructor, then attempted to move on. I was incapable of moving on until she climbed the ladder to the top rung. Yes, I had to start the outline all over, Se Ri just would not have it any other way!...

➜ Book Review – Carrie Soto Is Back: A Novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid <--- 5 STARS!!!! It was fantastic.  I read this one going in pretty-much blind, barely paying attention to the synopsis but I trusted I’d love it ’cause Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my absolute favorite authors in the world. 

Karen: Yup. Loved it. TJR is a gifted writer. She made me love a book with a main character I disliked. Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is my favorite of hers, then this one.
 

Ana: It was a 5 star listen for me, and I have no interest in tennis. I loved it.
 

Vikki: It was one of my favorites this year too!!
 

Nicole: Yes. 5 stars from me, also.
