Welcome to day three of The Emoji Files, showcasing my favourite reads of 2017 by the emoji they best correspond to. So far this week I’ve had The Swoony Awards and The LOL Awards, and today we’re looking at The WOW Awards: those books that had me riveted to the page and often on the edge my seat.
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, book lovers! This week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is ‘New-to-me Authors I Read in 2017’. Folks, I found some FANTASTIC new-to-me authors in 2017, and they are all—without exception—on my ‘must read’ list now. Who are these writers, you ask? Allow me to introduce you!

I’m going slightly rogue today for Top Ten Tuesday. The girls at The Broke and the Bookish have given the topic Ten Hidden Gems in X Genre. Well, I’m not limiting myself to one genre.

Welcome to the Celebrate Lit tour for Out of Darkness and my interview with the lovely Erynn Newman. If you would like to read my review for Out of Darkness, you can find it here. Today, I’m chatting with Erynn about her novel, but before we get started, we’re sharing around sweet tea (with lemon) and hush puppies with honey butter. I’m getting my Southern gal on, y’all! (Please excuse my pathetic attempt at a Southern accent!) You can even find a recipe to make your own sweet tea here. Images: Sweet Tea –

Top Ten Tuesday is on a six-week hiatus at the moment, and while I may still come up with some top ten posts for you during that time, I’m taking the opportunity today to do something a little different. If you’ve read some of my recent posts, you’ll know that the final book in the Serena Jones Mystery Series releases today (YAY!), and you’ll also know that it has been much anticipated by me (and countless other readers) because it will give us the answer to the big question: Which man will win Serena’s affection? Nate Butler or Tanner Calhoun?

Welcome to First Line Friday! First things first: I have to wish a very happy birthday to my hubby, a man who loves me unconditionally and fills my life with much love and laughter (and occasional eye-rolling! 😁) 💝💗💞 Maybe this will entice him to actually read my blog! 😉 This week I have had the pleasure of reading a fantastic romance suspense from debut author Erynn Newman. My review will be coming soon, but I can promise you, if you love romantic suspense, you will want to get a copy of this book.
