GIVEAWAY: Pennies & Dollars by Pepper Winters

Image
Giveaway: Pennies & Dollars by Pepper Winters As most of you know, I love Pepper Winters. Her writing is just unbelievably wonderful and just the right amount of sexy. I am currently giving away my white copies of Pennies and Dollars from the Dollar Series by Pepper Winters. I recently purchased the entire series in the new cover and would like one lucky individual to win these two magnificent books. As these are adult romances, please be 18+ in entering. I will check as much as I can to make sure that I’m sending these books for an adult. I don’t need parents coming after me for trying to spread my love of books. And also, due to lack of shipping funds, this contest is only for the US. I greatly apologize to those outside of the US. Maybe one day I can send to you guys. Please be fair. I don’t appreciate when people do all the entries just to undo them. Don’t rip me off like that. It’s not kind or fair to the other entrants. This giveaway will last until January 31st 2018. Good

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I'm Looking Forward To In 2018

Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2018 If you know me, you know I don’t keep up with a lot of new releases unless it’s from my favorite authors. This list is only going to consist of books that I own and have been dying to read.  I do know that Colleen Hoover and Jodi Ellen Malpas are releasing in 2018 and I’m pretty flipping excited about that! I’m not going to include them in this list though. Just noting that I am excited and cannot wait. What books are you guys looking forward to in 2018? These aren’t in any particular order. Just typical books I would like to read in the coming year.  The One That Got Away by Melissa Pimentel  Goodreads – Amazon – Kindle I won this book in a giveaway a couple of months ago from Books à la Mode . I think it’s going to be a cute quick read that’ll keep a dorky grin on my face. But then again, I could be completely wrong and it’ll leave me heartbroken. The Light We Lost by Jill Santoplo Goodreads – Amazon – Kindle I’m not gonna lie, this wa

Best Books Of 2017

Image
As you all may know, I didn’t reach my goal for 2017. But I did read quite a few and I here are my favorites from the year. There is no particular order for these books. They’re just the ones that spoke to me more. The ones that I enjoyed more than others. I’m not going to lie, when I was going through my Goodreads challenge I was shocked at all of the books that I read this year that I thought I read last year. It feels so long since I’ve read some of these! But without further ado, here is my list for my favorite reads of 2017! Under Rose-Tainted Skies by Louise Gornall This book is unexpectedly on this list. I knew it was going to be a good one, I just didn’t know it was going to hop on my favorites list. It’s such a wonderful read. It definitely shines a bright light for people who don’t understand phobias or anxiety. I recommend that everyone pick this book up! Crown Of Lies by Pepper Winters This is technically a two-in-one. Throne Of Truth is right along with this one. Pepper

End Of The Year Book Tag 2017

Image
I’m not entirely sure if I did this tag last year. Seeing as everyone else is doing it, I think I should too. 2017 has been the best year. I started driving, got an amazing new job and was able to do all the things we’ve wanted to do without actually worrying about getting our bills paid. 2017 has been such a blessing to me and my family. With this amazing new job came a lot of new books. I had a goal at the beginning of the year to acquire five hundred books. Well, I surpassed that. I’m ending 2017 with a little over SEVEN HUNDRED books guys! I had I think like 450 at the end of 2016. I don’t even remember. I’m very happy with the amount of books I’ve gotten this year. I’ve worked so hard for this and I have spoiled myself rotten. But also with new job came less reading time. This is my first full-time job since 2013. I have forgotten how much time is dedicated to being at work for 40 hours a week and how tiring it is. My reading goal for 2017 was 60 books. I’m typing this up the wee

A Little Too Late By Staci Hart Published By: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on October 9th 2017 Genres: Romance, Contemporary Pages: 250 Rating: ☆☆☆ Purchase: Amazon – Kindle Synopsis: I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the nanny. When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I’ve been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I’ve been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone. For nine long months, I’ve been failing. When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I’d found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I’ve been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I’d packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album. She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she’s so much more. The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn’t. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her. A

November Wrap-Up:

I am so impressed with how much I’ve read this month! Even with being in little reading slump, I managed to read eight books. That’s the most I’ve read in a long time. I’m pretty freaking proud of myself. What books did you guys read this month?

Or so she thinks. The boy she maybe-sort-of-definitely loved and sort-of-maybe-definitely hated has dropped off the face of the planet in the face of tragedy, leaving a Jack Hunter–shaped hole. Determined to be happy, Isis fills it in with lies and puts on a brave smile for her new life at Ohio State University. But the smile lasts only until he shows up. The menace from her past—her darkest secret, Nameless—is attending OSU right alongside her. And he’s whispering that
