Hey! I didnβt realize today was Tuesday release day until later than usual. Happy release day! On my tbr that released today: The Nesting by C.J. Cooke and A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik.
Iβm holding off on buying anything just yet because BOTM picks should be releasing soon. Well, except I did buy Jen Armentroutβs Storm and Fury the other day. I like it, itβs different. But I liked the other series I just finished of hers more. So far.
Yeah!! I shall add them in! π Thank you Tasha! I love that you bring me the thrillers and women’s fiction
Iβm glad! I know they donβt always fit here, but Iβve been stuck on them for a good while now and itβs hard not to share.
Annnnd now Iβve bought Rage and Ruin. π
Actually they often do fit well because there are so many of us venturing into different genres as well as our romance right now.
I love reading everyoneβs different preferences. I really feel like we have such an awesome group of people here who all have something different to add. And is perfect for when Iβm in the mood for ANYTHING. Love this place, thanks for making it what it is!
Nice range to browse through today, Maryse. I’m going to try Nashville Days and Imagine With me for starters π
YAY!! The Nashville one sounds like fun… I love when famous people are “hiding out”.
I got The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue for my BOTM. Can you believe tomorrow is October 1?!? Doesnβt feel real.
Also, Iβm in that space again where I just donβt know what Iβm in the mood for. Iβm gonna try a sample of The Nesting, read a bit of House in the Cerulean Sea, a little of Out of Love. But, I dk, my mood today is just meh. Nothingβs screaming at me.
Happy quiet Thursday!

“This is literally the worst idea you’ve ever had.”
Cruel Paradise (Beautifully Cruel, #2) by J.T. Geissinger
How are you liking it Mony. I know many LOVED the first book in the series.
I’m just at the beginning but so far it’s a really good read!!
FLT:
Warwickshire, 1824.
The music of the May Day celebration filled the air, drifting from the village to the honey-coloured castle on the lake.
from Somewhere I’ll Find You by Lisa Kleypas. It’s one of her earlier (1996!) HRs and I’m reading it for October Book of the Month in a Goodreads historical romance group. ‘Betrothed in childhood’ trope for this month.
I haven’t really enjoyed the early books I’ve read from this writer, although I LOVE her more recent ones. It will be interesting to see how I find this one.
Sigh…where is this world of which you speak… βΊοΈDefinitely looking tis one up.
We now have True Story (Deverells) as the HR BOTM for a group read. Thanks for the rec!
I have a paperback copy of Somewhere I’ll Find You that I picked up in a thrift shop but I’m not sure it’s available on kindle as it’s an older book. Hope you can find a copy.
Oops. Looks like it is available on kindle now. Go for it.
thanks Jan!
FLT- β When I awake, I am eye-level with a puddle of beet juice soaked into the carpet, soft fibers cushioning my cheek.β Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson
Iβm about 30% in and really into it. I do get sucked into her writing.
I grabbed 2 π Amazon Firsts this month, The Haunting of Brynn Wilder and Girls of Brackenhill. So perfectly spooky sounding. And I loved some of the reviews for each from authors whoβs books Iβve read and loved.
WE GOT THE SAME ONES!!!!!! π
YES!! Of course we did. π₯³ As soon as I finish this thriller, I think Iβll pick 1 up. Need something ghostly.
OMG, I can almost feel that yucky carpet… π₯΄
