Friday Reads: May 6th, 2016

Happy Friday Everyone!

I hope everybody is excited for the weekend, :)

I know I already did one post today, but unfortunately, I am currently exiled to my house, other than for work, so I figured I'd take the time to get another blog post up today. Why am I exiled you may ask? Unfortunately, there's been some horrific wildfires in a province near us, and that smoke has drifted into our city. Since I struggle hardcore with asthma, my doctor has recommended me to remain inside whenever humanly possible. I am definitely not complaining about this, because the people living in the affected areas are going through horrific things, and the measly bit of smoke we're seeing here is nothing compared to what they're living with right now. I am definitely keeping the people of Fort McMurray in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope they see a resolution of this awful situation soon.

Today I wanted to take part in the "Friday Reads" topic that I've been seeing popping up on booktube lately. I'm not sure who started it, but basically what you're supposed to do is share the books you will be reading over the weekend.

Since I had some spare time today, I figured why not, and hence, here are the books I will be reading this weekend:

1) First, is Shadow Rider by Christine Feehan. I've actually never read one of her books before, and I didn't end up attending the party she threw at RT Booklovers, simply because we had other plans, and it wasn't a huge priority for me. Honestly, after starting this book though, I'm really wishing I had gone to it, because I'm only two chapters into this book, and I'm already in love with, and addicted to it. This will definitely be the book I will be reading the most this weekend. This book is an arc, so it's not available at the moment, but I can't wait for you guys to read it when it is released, cause so far it's amazing!





2)  Next is, Better Than Chocolate by Sheila Roberts. I adore Sheila Roberts writing style, and I love how this book is set within a small town with a quirky cast of characters. I actually started this one before we left for Vegas, and I hope I get to finish it soon cause I'm loving the way the romance is centered around saving a family chocolate factory, and the sweet way that Sheila Roberts has woven everything around it.









3) Last but not least is French Roast by Ava Miles. This is the book I'm currently reading on my phone at work, and sorry to say it, but I'm really not liking it too much so far. I don't care for Jill's character, as she comes across super juvenile and whiny, and I honestly don't so far understand why she's so infatuated with Brian in the first place. I also don't really get a feel for chemistry between the two of them, but maybe I would have seen it if I had read the first book in the series before this one. Hopefully this book will be redeemed for me, but so far it's not high on my priority list to finish it this weekend.



Thanks for reading everyone! I hope you all have a great weekend, and I'd love to hear what books you're planning on diving into during it!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
