Angela: I actually have a few more, but by the time this posts I'll have already reviewed them. Look for reviews for The Library of the Unwritten, Aurora Blazing, and The Twisted Ones. They all release on 10/1 and were solid, well written reads. Sharpest Sting by Jennifer Estep 10/8- Ms. Estep is self- publishing her Gin Blanco, Elemental Assassins series now and I'm always afraid I'll miss the next release. This is book #18 and I'm eager to find out what Gin, Owen, the gang are up to now. Continue Reading

Smexy’s Mid-Year Update: What we’ve read, what we’ve loved, what’s up next
Angela: Hey y'all! It's half way into 2019 and Goodreads says I've read 78 books. My goal is 125 this year, so at the moment I'm ahead of schedule. I'm trying to incorporate more books that have been sitting on my TBR shelf into my reading schedule, but I can't seem to stop requesting review ARCs. I have willpower issues, I know this. Lol. As you can see, I'm a genre jumper. I vary rarely read in the same genre two books in a row. I read a ton of fantasy, urban fantasy, science fiction, Continue Reading

It came with 6 months of KU so I am trying to catch up on some KU reads :) Adventures in Online Dating by Julie Particka- I LOVE stories centered around online Continue Reading
