  Happy weekend! I am at the Route 66 Author Event in Oklahoma City this weekend.  I love catching up with authors and other readers.  OKC is a new town for me.  This is also the first signing I drove to and my hubby came with me.  I am so excited to see his reaction to the signing tomorrow, even though this is one of the smaller ones I have attended.   I am in the middle of an ARC and three audio books as I write this.  Hopefully that means I will have more book reviews to share next week.  This week I did finish one ARC and one book by L.B. Dunbar, who has been on my list forever.  I also read several short stories from anthologies in my collection to read something by authors I have not red yet but that I will be meeting at the event.  Someday when I finish those anthologies, I will need to write reviews for them as well.  I hope these reviews find you happy and reading something fabulous.      Speak From The ...

  Happy weekend!  I read three books this week including one ARC, and two new-to-me authors.  I love when children in books are more, and the two single-dad reads this week definitely deliver.  This week I also read my first monster romance, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it.  The author did a wonderful job of making the relationship believable.  I couldn't help but root for their HEA.  I hope you had a good week too.  Happy reading!

  I am back from vacation.  I had a fantastic two week tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland with my youngest daughter.  A while back, she decided she wanted to celebrate her 25th birthday in Ireland.  When she started looking at trips and asked me to join her, I was all in.  It was a wonderful thing to share the special memories of this trip with her. Because I was busy sight-seeing and traveling, I took actual time off from my blog for the first time in two years.  I read on our long flights and a little here and there, but nowhere near the amount I normally read.  Actually, when we got on the plane, I started and stopped three books that just would not click. (I was pretty excited about our trip. LOL)  I was caught up on ARCs for a hot minute.  I kept looking at my TBR and I remembered that I had the first two books of Emily Silver's new series waiting on my kindle.  I was so excited to get sucked into book one with Jackson and Tenley....

  Hello all!  This is a special edition, end-of-August post.  I will be traveling for the next couple of weeks on a real vacation.  But I did not want to wait that long to share my review of this fantastic romance I just finished.  Tanner and Quinn share an amazing love story full of acceptance, support, and healing.  I honestly cannot recommend it enough.  Make this your next rock star or military romance pick and i promise you will not be disappointed.

She exudes sunlight and joy all over Tanner and his shadows. Tanner....

  I am excited for this weekend.  I had a productive week where I read three ARCs, a book for book club, and a novella of a new-to-me author. The book club author was also new-to-me so this week I was able to read two authors I have been wanting to read  for a while. This week I will let my reviews speak for themselves, but I enjoyed every book I read.   I will be on an actual vacation for the first two weeks of September so my reviews for the next couple of weeks will be delayed.  I wish everyone happy fall and happy reading.   After We Fall (Dare with Me #6) by J.H.

  Happy weekend!  I am home from my travels and recovering from a severe allergy burst.  I finished two ARCs and a new release this week. I am thrilled that they were all incredibly good reads.  Piper Rayne and Pippa Grant gave me ARCs that delivered feel-good, small town romantic yumminess. J.T. Geissinger's new release was an erotic thriller that completely blew me away.  Three delicious books.   I am working at the JOB this weekend, so I wish everyone a happy weekend and week full of the books that feed your soul.
