Happy Christmas Eve!

Thank you for stopping by in such an amazing day! I’m just popping in real quick to tell you my reading plans for the next three days, as I intend to spoil myself with a blanket, tea and books 💕

Without further unnecessary words, here goes my list:

1. A Very Merry Bromance by Lisa Kay Adams

2. Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth

3. Weekend Wife by Erin McCarthy

4. The Left Turn: Two Lives, Worlds Apart by Becky Parker Geist (Audiobook)

5. From This Day by Nora Roberts (Audiobook)

That’s it for now, just a quick update, back to reading. I got 5 books to finish in a short period of time. Check out my other social media sites. I may be posting more 😉

Until next time, happy reading and happy holidays 🎄🎄🎄

What’s up, Wednesday people? How are you all doing in this magical week? I trust that you’ve already planned your presents and that you’re trying to avoid as much as possible the end of the year rush. I’m trying, without success, but I think it’s part of the magic these days.

It’s not even Christmas Eve and I’ve already received so many gifts. We’ve had two Secret Santa events that turned out to be lots of fun, as it was expected from the prior years. My colleagues seem to be obsessed to find out who their Secret Santa was. But what’s the point? It’s supposed to be a secret, right? I don’t want to know who mine was, it takes the fun out of it. How are you handling the whole Secret Santa stuff?

Other than this, my week has been very productive so far. I’ve finished “It Ends with Us” by Colleen Hoover (cried like no other) and I am close to finishing two other books: “In a Holidaze” by Christina Lauren and “Santa’s Christmas Wish” by Maggie Tideswell. Both need to be completed by Friday noon, so that I can start my weekend reading list. I’ll tell you more about it at the end of this week, when hopefully I will have my titles set.

That’s my update for today, stick around for a review coming up later 🙂 See you in the next article!

Hey guys,

How is your week so far? Mine was good so far. Work was good, although I still have some things to handle over the weekend. Sewing was not as good, but at least I managed to sew 1 winter blouse and two small pillow covers.  My reading progress is decent. I did read a lot, but not as much as I would have liked since I have a lot of catching up. I have some ambitious plans for this weekend in the form of 4 books:

1. The Hustler by Gina Azzi
2. Beyond the Play by Kaylee Ryan
3. The Temptation by Nikki Sloane
4. Fall by Kristen Callihan – audiobook currently in progress

To a normal book addict, these are not so many books for a weekend. But taking into account I have a ton of things to solve for my job and also build a vision board for my sewing business, plus spending time with family and sleep for at least 4 hours a night, it’s already less time for reading… I like challenges.

What are your reading plans for this weekend? If you have a romance on your list and what to buddy read, let me know below – I’m all in 🙂

Follow my reading progress on my Facebook page and Twitter, if you want to see how I’m doing 🙂

Until next time, Happy Reading and Happy Weekend!

Hey there! 

Happy new week (one day late) ! 

I hope you all have started with a positive attitude and an excellent mood and that you will continue with these awesome feelings for the rest of the week! Let’s get right into today’s quote, shall we?

Since last week I spent it all beta reading and writing reports, I did not manage to finish “Enemies With Benefits by Roxie Noir. Thus here I am with another quote from this great story: 

That night stretches into  two, then three. A few days becomes a week, ten days, a fortnight, and before I know it, Violet and I have been friends with benefits for a month. 

Well, “friends”. It’ll have to do as a moniker, because I don’t know another words for “person who irritates the living daylights out of me until she takes her clothes off, at which point she becomes my own personal sex goddess, custom-built to satiate my physical desires.”

“Friends” is at least shorter. 

I’ve mentioned this before, this book is so much fun! I cannot wait to review it. Stick around, as tonight I plan on finishing it, so the review will  be in more to the end of the week. 

Well guys, that’s it for today. I’ll see you in my next article 😊 Happy reading!

 

Wow, this is the longest time that I’ve been away from blogging. I have over 500 unread emails and probably half are junk. There is dust in my Kindle library and dust on my real shelves as well. I’ve missed posts and I’ve missed scheduling articles.  

While my absence is justifiable, as I have tried to put order in my life and adding sewing to my daily routine, I do still struggle with many mood swings. I won’t wrap up February (or March), makes no sense since I’ve read none of the titles in my lists. Yet all this time I have listened to a lot of audiobooks and Scribd has been my best friend. No reviews, no ratings, no nothing, just plain old listening (and falling asleep while listening).  

So here I am, ready to start blogging again, ready to share with you my reading and life experience. I am taking it one step at a time, one chapter, one book at a time. For this month I want to read and review 6 books (the review part is important since lately I tend to leave it out…), while slowly developing my schedule. Here are the titles:  

1. Once a Myth (Goddesses Isles #1) by Pepper Winters 
2. Miss Understanding (Miss #1) by Aubrey Bondurant 
3. Miss Typed (Miss #2) by Aubrey Bondurant 
4. Miss Belief (Miss #3) by Aubrey Bondurant 
5. A Cowboy Kind of Love (Heart of Texas #6) by Donna Grant 
6. How to Train your Earl (First Comes Love #3) by Amelia Grey 

I also plan on going through all my e-mails and post reviews for some of the books that I’ve listened to. I will be a slow start, but with a goal in mind 🙂  

Thank you all for being there for me through this time and thank you to all the beautiful authors that kept sending me e-mails. 

Until next time, Happy Reading!  

Hey Guys,  

This year I want to really be focused on reading and to motivate myself even more, I’ve decided to join 4 challenges: three of them are for the duration of the entire year and the fourth one is a series that will continue monthly. Here are some details about the first challenge I’m signing up for…

The Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge 

This challenge is currently hosted by Yvonne from Socrates Book Reviews and the main rule is to clean up your Netgalley and Edelweiss shelves. Simple, right? There are several levels one can complete:

• Bronze: 10 books 
• Silver: 25 books 
• Gold: 50 books 
• Platinum: 75 books 
• Diamond: 100 books 

Now, taking into account that my Netgally has more than 100 books not read, I would go with the Diamond Level. It really is a challenge, since I’ve already committed to 120 books on Goodreads and so far none of the books I have planned for January is a Netgalley book. Also, I don’t even remember what I have in Edelweiss.

All in all, I do plan to improve my profiles on both these platforms. I have lots of book to go through and a lot more enthusiasm 😊 I’ll have in my monthly wrap up the results of this challenge. Next week I will give you details about the second challenge I plan on attending, so be sure to visit often.

Until next time, let me know in the comments below if you are taking part in any reading challenge or readathons this year.

Happy Reading!
