I was hesitant when I found out about this new series of books penned by various authors and set within Penny Reid’s book universe—-specifically in the Green Valley town that is home to the Winston brothers. I wasn’t sure another author could do justice to the kooky but heartwarming vibe I’d grown to love. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit if Baking Me Crazy didn’t make me a believer.
I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. Today, I’m featuring Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen. I’m currently listening to the audiobook and so far it’s so stinking cute. I love the narration!
Where the Blame Lies is unlike any Mia Sheridan book I’ve read before, and I liked it. I really liked it. There’s enough detail to convey the horror of the victim’s situation, to develop a connection to her and maintain the suspense, but not so gory that it’s unbearably painful to read.
Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. Today, I’m featuring Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. It’s been years since I read this emotional book. I was looking forward to the movie adaptation and was super disappointed to learn the project fell through. I’m putting this on my TBRR (To Be Re-Read) list.
The Birthday List is a story of loss and new beginnings. I can see how some might find it inspirational. When life deals you a devastating blow, it’s easy to wallow in grief. The fact that Poppy is motivated to get back up and push through her pain is wonderful.
I’m a diehard Penny Reid fan. Her brainy, witty characters have charmed me more times than I can count, and I’m glad I can hang onto the ones carried over from the Winston Brothers series. Sadly, though, even Cletus (one of my favorite characters) couldn’t make Engagement and Espionage a big win for me. I guess I just expected more from the first book in this spinoff series.
Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. Today, I’m featuring Irresistible by Melanie Harlow. Single parent romances are my jam and this one features a single father of three girls. It’s currently on sale for 99¢ or free in Kindle Unlimited.
I love that so many authors have been teaming up to bring us free anthologies this summer! The latest is Jolly in July, a collection of nine new festive short stories that are sure to heat up your summer. It’s free to download through BookFunnel for a limited time.
I confess I’m a huge fan of the Like Us series. I’m totally obsessed with the famous families and the entire team of colorful bodyguards that protect them. I’m bummed that Charming Like Us didn’t knock my romance-loving socks off, but I still enjoyed reading it. I guess I’m still coming down off my Maximoff and Farrow high from Headstrong Like Us. I’m starting to think no other couple can touch them.
Happy Friday, book lovers! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books. Today, I’m featuring The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I was moved by this book when I read it a couple years ago. It is especially relevant in the wake of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests in our country right now.
