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!

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 Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday: Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
