Helyce’s Final Thoughts on Thursday
Hello Friends, It is with much sadness that I write this post. My time at Smexy Books has come to an end. I will never forget that day that Mandi emailed me and asked if I might be interested in reviewing with her and Tori. At the time, I was a stay-at-home-mom. I would read while my kids were at soccer practice. When I found the Goodreads community my reading world opened and I found so many other genres I had not explored before. Talking books was how Mandi and I met and Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Hello friends! I can’t believe it’s October. While Fall is my favorite season of all, l am not looking forward to the Holidays and the stress that comes with it. I hope to escape into my reading and will probably do way too much procrastinating resulting in more stress. It’s a freaking vicious circle. But for now, I had a decent reading week: A Firefighter’s Christmas Gift by Vivian Arend Holidays in Heart Falls #1 Romance (Novella) September 11, 2018 Self Published I don’t usually Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Hello Friends! I’m so happy Tori is doing posts this week about her favorite scenes from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews because, I gotta tell you--I have finished ZERO books this week, but not for lack of trying. Currently, I’m in the middle of two books, one of which I’d planned to review today, the other for next week. I will finish these and both will post next Thursday! All The Way by Kristen Proby (Romancing Manhattan #1)--I have wanted to try Proby for a while. So when Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts & Things
Hello! So, last week my family and I ventured north for our annual camping (glamping more like with showers and flushing toilets) trip at a little lake with a group of people who we’ve been doing this little trip with for the last 6 years. The original group was huge-like 35 families and we’d pretty much take over this place; but as kids got older, that group has dwindled down to about 10 families. My kids love the lake, so we’ve stuck it out over the years for them. This year was fun but not Continue Reading
Helyce’s Favorite Books for 2017 & Giveaway
I used to look forward to compiling this list each year, but the last few years have not been good reading years for me and 2017 is no exception. In fact, I’ve read the least amount of books this year when compared to previous years. I have been seriously reading deprived. Many factors can be attributed to this, work, life, kids, etc. Simply put, my “me” time has been in very short supply. I do have some books worth mentioning (though not all published in 2017), so in no particular order, let’s Continue Reading
