Angela- It's August! I mean it's still 2020, but at least we are inching toward the end of the year. YAY! I'm adding one book that will hit the last week of July to my list because we didn't do a TBR for July and I don't want anyone to forget it's release. Happy almost end of summer! Deal with the Devil (Mercenary Librarians #1) by Kit Rocha 7/28 Fantasy Romance - I practically begged for an ARC for this book, but just when it hit my Kindle I knew I had to hold on to it until the last Continue Reading

Kini’s Most Anticipated Reads 2020
First I want to mention that almost all of the books that I am excited about are from traditional publishers because they typically release information about new books several months in advance. If you are indie or self publishing a book, we would love to know about it sooner rather than later so we can get it on our radar! Our request form does not require an ARC. Second, most of these books are from the first half of 2020, with a few from the second half as publishing hasn’t released much Continue Reading
Smexy Top Ten October 18
We made it to Friday! YAY!! 10. Need to watch a soothing video? Check out this cake decorating video. 9. I’m a knitter. Last year I vowed to knit socks. It went so well I have a half inch nub of a sock still sitting on needles in my knitting bins. Last night I saw a post on Reddit about someone knitting TWELVE socks at a time. I can’t even wrap my head around how to do two at a time, twelve is beyond my scope. 8. Shameless self promotion time. A few weeks back I recorded an episode Continue Reading

You deserve to be cherished, and given all you desire.” She pressed a hand to her cheek and looked away. Continue Reading
Review: Take the Lead by Alexis Daria
Take the Lead by Alexis Daria Dance Off #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini This is basically a romance novel set in a fictional version of Dancing with the Stars.

Gina is a pro dancer on “The Dance Off” and really wants a strong partner to help her to the championship and ultimately win the show. She Continue Reading
