I am 20% into reading The Do Over by Tl Swan and I am loving it, I am laughing out loud
YAY Leonie!!!!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think of it once finished. I LOVE excellent starts!
Looking forward to reading this one! Loved that series!
Hi Maryse, Jewel E Ann has a duet coming out in September. Pieces of a Life will be released September 13 and the second part of the duet Memories of a Life will be released September 27. I am super excited for this duet.
YAY!!! I’m on it! Thank you Alice!!! 😀
I just read a new HR that came out a few days ago, and really liked it. A Contracted Spouse For the Prizefighter by Alice Coldbreath. Fresh and original, and about the lower/middle classes with not a duke in sight LOL. Makes a nice change. In spite of the title, it’s not about prizefighting (the hero USED to be a prizefighter). It’s set in the boisterous world of saucy music hall theatre in London in the Victorian era, and the heroine is a male impersonator/comedian. Very interesting, enjoyable and somewhat steamy read.
Sounds really good Jan. I’ve been wanting to get to that whole series. Thanks for the rec!
Thank you Jan!! I’ll be adding it to tomorrow’s Friday Finds. 🙂
I just saw that Corinne Michaels has put all of her books on Kindle Unlimited.
Recently read…
Finding Ivy by Claire Kingsley. On my TBR forever & finally read it. Glad I did because it was such a great read! Lovely warm story, nice flow, hottie, some mystery/suspense, sweet love. 4.5★
Soul Taken (Mercy Thompson #13) by P. Briggs – Finally. Everything I could ever want in a Mercy Thompson story! Well done Ms Briggs! (Lots of Adam too – yay!) 5★++
TV…re-watched Fleabag, Anatomy of a Scandal (Thanks Jan), Persuasion (Dakota Johnson – great job!) – irreverent, bit quirky. All were fabulous.
I’m looking for some binge-worthy tv!! Thank you Mony!
☺️
I really like Dakota Johnson, I’ll have to check this one out.
Did anyone else watch Look Both Ways on Netflix? I thought it was a romance well done. Some are just hit or miss for me. And I just saw Love in the Villa (movie on Netflix) has released. I loved her Christmas movie a couple/few? years ago on there so will definitely be watching that.
I’m just about finished with Riley Sager’s The House Across the Lake and hope to finish tonight. I am loving it! I did not quite see exactly where it was going, but am immersed and along for the ride, wherever it takes me. And, bonus, my preorder, The Final Gambit (released Tuesday, but I got the special B&N edition bc I wanted the bonus short story at the end, arrived today!! It is definitely my next read. I’ve been waiting for this conclusion!
More things to watch. Thanks Tasha!
And they’re movies! So, doable for me. Lol. I’m rushing to catch up on reading as much as possible and no time to invest in a series.
I just watched “Them” (a horror series by Jordan Peele – he is one of my FAVORITES EVER for horror) and it shocked and appalled me. HOLY MOLY it was intense. My heart ached, was incensed, was horrified.
I can’t wait for more. I kind of hope the next season will continue with the same family, as I need more.
A new Rosalind James book is out. Kiwi Sin. Yay! Set in beautiful New Zealand. The MCs have escaped from a cult and have to learn how to live (and love) in the normal world. I’ve already started it and liking it. She’s a fav author for me.
The last TV series I really enjoyed was The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. I thought they did it so well and I hope there will be another series.
I absolutely loved The Lincoln Lawyer too! I couldn’t help but binge that one within a few days. They did say there will be a season 2, yay!
Yay! It was really good. The books are good too.
My Aunt said that too, I didn’t even know it was based on books. But somehow the names were sounding familiar to me, like I’d heard them somewhere before while I was watching it.
I’m reading Kiwi Sin and enjoying it as well. She is an auto buy author for me
She’s auto buy for me too, Michelle 😀
Thank you Jan!! I’m adding the new one to today’s Friday Finds as we speak.
I will check out The Lincoln Lawyer. YAY ME!!! 😀
Hope you enjoy, Maryse 🙂
