Book Recommendations

What we’re currently reading this week – 10-13-2024

October 13, 2024 By Maryse Leave a Comment

HAPPY SUNDAY!!! 😊 WHAT ARE YOU IN THE MOOD TO READ? It’s been awhile since I asked what everyone’s reading and sitting and catching up with our book crew after the hurricane, I have a book roll call for us. So if you’re looking for something to read, I bet you I (we) have just what you’re looking for in this list. Fantasy Romance (or “Romantasy”) dominates these days (and on this list, as well) but we have a ton of other tried-and-true must reads from other genres too. read more

Reader Favorites – Our favorite true gentleman, protective, good boy, no game-playing Heroes…

September 22, 2024 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Hortensia wants some good boys! There is nothing better than a true gentleman, a respecter of women, and of people as a whole, with a heart of gold. Oh surrrrre…. I’ve had my HUGE love of bad boy alpha males and all of the angsty game playing (my blog was practically built off the backs of these kinds of heroes), but as I’ve matured, I’ve developed a preference for a good, openly loving, secure man (and YAY ME!! I have one). So I can understand the need to read them, too.

And while I have my own list of these book boyfriend sweethearts, I’d love to add to it right here. read more

Check out my cool new bookshelf that I’m obsessed with!!

September 8, 2024 By Maryse Leave a Comment

<— BEHOLD!!! MY NEW MINI BOOK SHELF!! I just got this a month or so ago, and have been dying to put it together ’cause it looked SO cool in the photos. I had NO idea yet what I was going to put in it since there’s limited book space.

Would I put my absolute 100% favorites in it? Or… orrrrrr!!!! Would I create a cool color-scheme (<— that one was VERY close to what I ALMOST did, as that was what I was building at first). But then… I saw them. My perfect idea. I decided on my obvious (and very serious collections) that I researched obsessively a few years ago. And was delighted to be able to find, piece by piece. My first editions… signed Twilight series (all protectively covered in that clear plastic stuff)!!!! read more

Tasha J’s eight latest psychological thriller recommendations!

September 4, 2024 By Maryse 6 Comments

TASHA’S LATEST PSYCH-THRILLER RECOMMENDATIONS!! She’s been my go to for years now for all things twisty and jaw-dropping (I’d even say I discovered my love of psych-thriller because of her). And now my book twin just rocked my world with one of her past psych-thriller recommendations (Book Review – The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark) and she’s got a mini list of more!

Tasha J: So glad you enjoyed it too!

Maryse: So what latest must-read thriller do you recommend next? 😉 read more

Reader Recommendations – Books where the main character is so possessive of their love interest that they alienate their children…

August 11, 2024 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Daisy is looking for books like these, but with a particular aspect, to the main character. OHHH I LOVE obsessive/stalker love (😮 in BOOKS!! ONLY ever in books!!!). And I’ve read two out of the three books she’s mentioned (and I LOVED them) so now I’m so curious ’cause I LOVE a good anti-hero, but also especially an anti-heroine.

An obsessed, conniving villainess. I revel in her cleverness… cringe with her inevitable mess-ups, and I crash with her in her downfall. read more
