Reader Recommendations – Books that took us out of our comfort zone…

By 18 Comments

This post is inspired by an old comment I found from my book-twin Amy. And wow!!! I absolutely LOVE her idea. I LOVE books that do this to me. Make me feel so uncomfortable but enrapture me to the point of being unable to put it down long enough ’cause I’m so hooked. Uncomfortable or not, I am IN!!! They always end up being unforgettable, whether I loved them, hated them, or hated that I loved them. 😉

They may be dark reads, forbidden or risqué, situations we wouldn’t normally live or accept in our own lives, maybe something scary or simply something that takes us out of our element in a large enough way… maybe even enlightening us in the process. read more

Vanessa Marie’s “The Suicide King” is LIVE & she’s sent over Five Facts about the book

By 2 Comments

Whoaaaa!! That gorgeous, moody cover, and title (The Suicide King) has me so intrigued!! Vanessa Marie is this week’s newsletter sponsor and to celebrate her latest release, she sent over a “Five Facts” to give us a look behind the book.

It sounds poignant and heart wrenching. Just check out this blurb, and tell me it doesn’t give you goosebumps…

Jason King thought suicide was the only answer.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
The inner demons were winning and he was ready to surrender.
As far as he was concerned no one would care.
Everyone would be better off.
No one would notice he was gone.
Little did he know how wrong he was.
His actions had consequences.
The reach went further than he could have imagined.
Only his suffering didn’t end.
Stuck in purgatory Jason is forced to walk a new path.
One that shows him how his suicide affected all those involved.
Even the ones he never thought would care.
The ones he never knew it would reach.
In this Scrooged-like tale, Jason King will visit all of those who mourn him.
He finds out a little too late how wrong he was about everything. read more

Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 07-29-2019

By 32 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!! I can’t believe it’s already almost August… it feels like Halloween is right around the corner (which I love so… no complaints from me) 😉

THREE THINGS:

1.) I cooked up a STORM yesterday… spent the entire day pretty much making everything in my fridge into a meal, and now I have all my meals covered for the week. 🙂 I love when I do that.

2.) Last Sunday I had the most awesome salsa when I was at that outdoor birthday party (and got a bit sunburned). I just got the recipe and made that one, too (it’s their “family recipe salsa” that they make for every get together). It’s a base of bright colored bell peppers, tomatoes and celery – all finely diced and OMG YUMMMM!!! I only wish they made Keto corn chips. 😉 I’m not usually huge on bell peppers (at least not as the base of a dish) so I was hesitant, especially when everyone was telling me how it was the best ever… but WHOA. It. Was. AMAZING. read more
