  I spent this entire week sick with a nasty cold.  On Monday, I slept nearly all day and read nothing.  I cannot tell you the last time I had a day without reading something.  Thankfully, I am on the mend now.  Between naps and tissues, I was able to read two ARCs, one book from my TBR, two of the three holiday novellas I need to read for book club next week, and one erotic and funny short story.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I wish you all a safe and healthy week as we head into the full swing of holiday madness. Keeping You (Chikalu Falls #2) by Lena Hendrix #SmallTown  5 STARS This is book two in the interconnected Chikalu Falls series but it can be read as a standalone. It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV. I loved that Honey is outgoing and pursuing her new dream. She is starting over again and determined to succeed.

I finished my vacation this week and returned to work.  After spending the last two weeks visiting with family, meeting authors and readers at Indies Invade Philly, and near constant traveling, I did enjoy coming home.  Getting back into our home routine has taken a few days and returning to work in a busy ICU was a little jarring after some time away. My reading time has suffered this week but what made it great was the two ARCs I read.  Both release this coming week and I think readers are going to love them. Check out my reviews below and add these terrific books to the never-ending TBR.  Lost & Found in Copper Ridge by Harlow James ARC: Release Date- 11/21/2021 #ForcedProximity #Holiday #ARC 5 STARS Do you believe in serendipity?

  This has been a busy week visiting with family and capped by traveling to Philadelphia for Indies Invade Philly.  I had a fantastic time meeting all the authors and narrators, especially the authors I have the honor of  being on their ARC teams. I also really enjoyed meeting other readers from all over the country in person after only knowing them online.  Sometimes when you meet your heroes, they disappoint you.  That was not the case it IIP.  All of the authors were kind and gracious despite big crowds and sometimes long lines. I was able to read three ARCs this week during the chaos.  Max Monroe's Flynn Winslow is an amazing hero and Daisy was a joy to read.  The Text Before Christmas finishes up the Digital Dating series by Delancey Stewart and Marika Ray.  It also sets the stage for another collaboration that sounds like it is going to be really fun to read.  Lexi Blakes next book set in Bliss, Colorado, gives readers a MFM romance, suspense, and drama as the work out their
