Thank you for signing up for my email updates! Since I've run across a few awesome reads over the last few weeks (and also posted some fun "lists") I thought it's the perfect time for a newsletter. :)
Okay... in case you missed my latest 5 star, and 4.5 star reviews, here are the latest and greatest (and one of these may even be my favorite book of the year. At least so far. ;)
Book Review - After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid <--- I think this one is my favorite of the year so far. I could NOT put it down and I HIGHLY recommend this! If you're in a book slump? READ THIS!! It'll get you out of it. If you're on an awesome book roll? Read this! You'll continue it!
Book Review - Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid <--- Another standalone book from the same author. I couldn't help but immediately start another by her, and this one was simple AWESOME too. It had me in tears...
A few more 5 stars from the last couple of months:
Book Review - Loving Mr. Daniels by
Brittainy C. Cherry <--- Oh this one has that "forbidden" edge to it, and I LOVED it, too! Student-teacher but not sordid. Angsty but not cheesy "soap-ish" angst, you know what I mean?

If you're in the mood for crazy-twists and exhilarating, eye-popping reveals, here are two more awesome book finds:
Book Review - Rainfall by
Melissa Delport <--- I went into this one, "blind enough", and then my mind went to work. I had some ideas. And more ideas, and twists and turns and I was right for some, and wrong for others but... no matter what I managed to guess, I was on the edge of my seat for the entire second half, and couldn't put it down. WOW what a ride!!!
Book Review - Push by Claire Wallis <--- WHOA. OMG... I'm just... whoa. Now that was an exhilarating read indeed. Excuse me, while I pick my jaw up off the floor. I'm just sitting here. Stunned.
And how about some fun book-lists? Like:
Oh! And how about my "Book Bash 2014" chronicles? We had a
blast coming up with memories for this (lots of great pictures, too):
So that's it for the latest recent highlights! But you know my page is loaded in goodies. From latest book releases, upcoming book releases, bargain finds, to tons more favorites lists and book
reviews, and I'd LOVE to know if you found something awesome in the bunch. Or something awesome that might be "new-to-me". :)
Oh! NEWS!!! ---> Jeaniene Frost fans!! Guess what I just found out? I've just received a tidbit: a special Cat & Bones announcement on her blog. She says:
"I decided to post a never-before-seen, deleted alternate version of the middle of Destined For An Early Grave. Because it's so long (over 30K words!) I'm going to post it in four parts on my blog. Part One will go up this Saturday, July 26th, with the remaining three parts to release on August 2nd, August 9th and August 16th. So for the next month, there will
be free reading on my blog on Saturdays. Hope you enjoy!"
*squeeeee!!* This is going to be awesome, 'cause that was one of my absolute FAVORITE books in the series (and in the world)!!! WHAT INTENSITY! She explains how and why she changed "it".
She also let's us in on a tidbit, saying:
"For context, this alternate "middle" version starts on page 207 of the published version of Destined for an Early Grave, or 55% into the ebook, so if you want to familiarize yourself with what was going on back then, grab your copy and brush up.You'll see some scene overlapping with only small changes at first, then the new content starts after Cat arrives at the military base."
Eeeeep!! I've gotta read it. That book was intense, so to have more? YES PLEASE!
Okay so that's it for now...
