Resurrecting Rain by Patricia Averbach
We are so pleased to have a Guest Post today from author Patricia Averbach. Resurrecting Rain by Patricia Averbach, which is available now! HOW I’M SURVIVING THE PANDEMIC BY PATRICIA AVERBACH I think we can all agree that social distancing sucks. If you’re lucky you’re conducting meetings from your bedroom while two kids and a dog zoom across the bed. If you’re less fortunate you’re spending endless hours trying to reach the unemployment office or your health insurer. You’re not going out to eat, not shopping for a new swimsuit and not using the tickets you bought to the season opener. Cut off from human contact, the TV and refrigerator…
Sunrise on Half Moon Bay
Special thanks to Harlequin for providing our copy of Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr in exchange for an honest & fair review. Sunrise on Half Moon Bay In case you don’t know, I’m a newly minted Robyn Carr fangirl. I fell in LOVE with her Virgin River series & I can’t wait to read more of her books! After reading over a half dozen of her books, I feel pretty confident that I know she’s going to take me on a character-driven ride with a HEA. Yet, when I started Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr I’m like, this sounds too depressing. Parents affected by…
MTV The Challenge: Total Madness
MTV The Challenge: Total Madness Well, we’re back with Season 35 of MTV The Challenge: Total Madness. In the past, I’ve recapped The Challenge before. This show just keeps drawing me back. After a little lull for me, last season had me so pumped with all the drama. Let’s do it. MTV The Challenge: Total Madness Episode 1 Challenge: Pull a barrel with a rope, then onto a puzzle. Then, pull another barrel while TJ is trying to run over the barrels with a tank. Winners: Rogan & Jenny Tribunal: Rogan & Jenny select Cory. They select Kyle, Wes & Jay for elimination.

Super Nova Smash
You can support Super Nova Smash via Kickstarter! Several weeks ago, we were introduced to the super cool card game, Super Nova Smash. Basically, it’s a card game paired with your mobile app & it’s a race to the finish line. The cards are beautifully created with really bright colors. The free app is wild too! While racing/playing with friends, the smartphone guides & directs you through challenges, roadblocks & distractions. The more you play, you develop strategies. That’s what is cool. We played games with adults & with kids (ages 8 & up) & it’s a blast for everyone. What is Super Nova Smash? Super Nova Smash! is a…
The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory
Special thanks to Berkley for providing our copy of The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory in exchange for an honest & fair review The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory is a sweet & sexy romp between enemies to lovers. Set it against a backdrop of a friend’s wedding & it’s such a blast! A while back I read The Wedding Date & really enjoyed it. While I loved Carlos from The Proposal, I had a harder time connecting with the romance. Well, it’s safe to say that Jasmine hooks me with The Wedding Party. Even though I have the paperback version, I opted for…
Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer
Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hilarious & wonderful Murder She Wrote style mystery featuring the dynamic duo of Obama & Biden. This is a cozy mystery style narrative mixed with humor. Joe riding Amtrak in his aviators & yearning for a good vanilla cone. Barack chilling in the shadows (effortlessly debonair) sneaking a cigarette & helping guide the investigation. Basically, Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a hell of a lot of fun. I burned through it & honestly, I will read it again. While the story is technically a murder mystery, it’s light-hearted, clever & memorable. There are so many parts I catch myself laughing…
Wham! George Michael and Me
I listened to Wham! George Michael and Me on Libro.Fm Wham! George Michael and Me Do I want to read a memoir by George Michael’s BFF & Wham! member Andrew Ridgeley? In case you do not know me, I am obsessed with George Michael & Wham! Truly, I am still heartbroken over his passing. Any stories, music, I can get about George or Yog I am GAME. So, getting the first account from Andrew Ridgeley about his life with George is something that I savor. No doubt, I’m doing the audio so I can hear the words directly from Andy’s mouth. Andy tells us everything. Well, likely not everything. He’s…
Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter
Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter I was up at the ass crack of dawn to finish this book. Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter is the first book in the Grant County series. I loved it and want more of the series ASAP! Karin writes strong women & compulsive storylines with grisly details. THE VERDICT If you’re looking for a binge-worthy thriller, read Blindsighted. Passing this one to Derek because he lives for the dark & violent shit. Anyone here a card-carrying member of the #slaughtersquad ? Let’s connect with books! We have all of our reviews on Goodreads! If you like dark thrillers, be sure to check out Lars Kepler. Really Into This…
The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park
Special thanks to Sourcebooks for providing our copy of The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park in exchange for an honest review. The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park is a cute, fun & memorable novel about two kids right before they hit adulthood. Throw in a Zombie Escape room, issues with parents & a survival contest & I’m super entertained. I knew going into The Perfect Escape that this is more of a YA themed romance. I’m totally fine with that even though I’m definitely not a huge YA fan. Several months back I listened to Frankly In Love & I just fell in love with…
Darling Rose Gold
Special thanks to Berkley for providing our copy of Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel in exchange for an honest & fair review. Darling Rose Gold Truth be told, I know the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case like the back of my hand. So, when I read the synopsis of this book, I thought this must be a rip off of the case & I’m not sure I’m interested. Wrobel does a really great job of handling so many pieces of the case. True crime aficionados will eat it up. Like the teeth – can we talk about the teeth? For me, Darling Rose Gold is like a what-if scenario for…
