Snowball’s Christmas Kristen McKanagh Published by: Kensington Publication date: September 29th 2020 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
The Purrfect holiday awaits…
Snowball–an aptly named bundle of feline fluff–is thankful to be spending her first Christmas in the comfort of Weber Haus, the Victorian B&B run by Miss Tilly. Emily Diemer, who cooks for the guests, dotes on Snowball, but she’s not thrilled about another new arrival at the B&B: Miss Tilly’s nephew, Lukas. Which is odd, because Snowball’s animal instincts tell her that Lukas and Emily should definitely be friends.
Everything Emily needs is in this quaint community–including, she hopes, the chance to open her own bakery one day. She doesn’t think much of Lukas for leaving his aging aunt to struggle while he jets around the world taking photographs. But now that he’s here, helping to spruce up the property and getting mixed up in Snowball’s antics, she begins to soften a little. Until she learns what he has planned…
Lukas is going to sell Weber Haus so that Miss Tilly can retire. But Snowball is certain that this B&B, and these people, are supposed to be her forever home. Somehow she has to get these stubborn humans to see things through the wisdom of a cat’s eye and a kitten’s loyal, loving heart…
At her car, her good mood took a back seat to frustration. The fob on her key chain was dying, which meant it didn’t always let her in right away. After four or five clicks, she finally gave a grr of annoyance and opened the door with the key.
“Wait.”
No mistaking the deep voice of the man from the parking lot. No way could he be talking to her, though, so she went to get in.
“Emily.”
He is talking to me.
Surprise tinged with more delight than she’d let herself acknowledge had her pausing to look over her shoulder. “How did you know my name?” she called as he jogged down the last few steps.
He waved back up at the slope. “That man called your name earlier.”
And he’d paid attention? Wow. A blush warmed the skin of her cheeks, making the sting of the cold air against her bite more. “Listen, I’m flattered and everything, but I’m running late.”
He paused on a word, mouth open, then his eyes crinkled as he grinned. “I’m not asking you out.”
Oh. Disappointment dropped over her like snow falling off branches on her head. Kerfloop. Followed swiftly by embarrassment. The heat crept back up her cheeks, but for a much less fun reason. “Okay . . . What can I help you with?”
“Actually, I’m here to help you.”
Help her? With what? She raised her eyebrows in question.
“I believe you’ve picked up a small passenger in your purse.”
“My—” Realization rushed in with all the subtlety of a blizzard, and she closed her eyes in resigned horror. “There’s a kitten in my purse. Isn’t there?”
She opened her eyes in time to catch the full impact of her stranger’s full-bodied laugh, his eyes alight with humor. “Does this happen to you often?” he asked.
“Only since this one arrived on our doorstep.” More gently than she’d been handling it until now, she swung her purse around and opened it wide. Sure enough, two blue eyes stared back at her with all the innocence of angels.
“Snowball. You’ve got to stop this,” she admonished as she lifted the small kitten out. Cuddling the ball of fluff against her chest, she lifted her gaze to her helpful stranger. Right in time to see him with a camera up to his eye. A soft click sounded as he snapped a picture.
“Uh— No, thanks.” She lifted a hand to block any more.
“I’m only getting the cat in the shot. I promise.”
Zero for two. First, he wasn’t chasing her down because he was interested, and now he only wanted pictures of the cat. My ego is going to need some chocolate therapy if this keeps up.

Have fun!
Never Have I Ever…read a later book in a series before reading the first book
I actually do this one all the time. Last year I picked up The lAst Widow by Karin Slaughter not knowing it was #9 in the series. It was so good I have gone back and started the series from the beginning.
Never Have I Ever…burned a book
Can’t say that I have ever done this.
Never Have I Ever…read a book I knew I would hate
I feel like there are way too many books out there to read a book I know I am going to hate. I have decided I hated a book halfway through and continued it though and still hated it.
Never Have I Ever…wrote a fanfiction about my favorite books
I haven’t done this one either but if I felt I could write well enough I would.
Never Have I Ever…loved a book when I was young, yet hated it when I got older
Nothing really comes to mind but I have kept off re-reading twilight because I don’t want this to happen.
Never Have I Ever…dressed up as one of my favorite literary characters
I don’t really like dressing up so I have not done this but my daughter wants to go as Hermione this year so does that count!
Never Have I Ever…hated a book by an author I love
I can’t say that I have ever hated a book by a favorite author, there are always some I don’t like as much but never hated. However, I hated a book by Colleen Hoover and I generally like her books but she is not a favorite author. Honestly I feel like this book is only one of a select few that I have ever hated.
Never Have I Ever…gone into a bookstore to buy one book and come out with many more
I feel like this happens almost every time I go into one! Bookstores are my happy place and spending money also makes me happy so the two usually get combined.
Never Have I Ever…read the ending of a book before reading the beginning
I do this every time I read a book. I know people do not understand this but my reasoning is that there are too many books on my tbr so why should I waste time on a book that has an ending I don’t like.
Never Have I Ever…read a book without the dust cover
All the time! I find them to always get in my way so I take them off. Plus I don’t want them to get damaged.
Never Have I Ever…skim read nearly half a book
Unfortunately I have done this many times, in fact I just did this for a currant buddy read that I was not enjoying.
Never Have I Ever…not returned a book I borrowed from a friend
I always return books to my friends because I don’t like when my books don’t get returned to me.
Happy Monday book friends! One of my favorite things to do is to go thrifting for books. I always have a few I like to go to depending on what area of town I am in. This includes a few local book store, ARC’s, Goodwill’s and 2nd and Charles. I prefer Goodwill and the ARC because books are usually $1 – $3 depending on paperback or hardback. Last week I hit up a few of these and here is what I came home with!
-Birds of Arkansas and Birds of Georgia – The first two are birding books done by my favorite photographer Stan Tekiela. He does many types of naturalist books for a lot of states. I was so excited when I saw these that I just had to get them!!
– I am, I am, I am by Maggie O’Farrell – I saw someone on Instagram recently read this and thought it looked interesting. This is a memoir about the author coming close to death many times and her experiences with that.
– Beartown by Fredrick Backman – This is my second time buying this so I am hoping to actually read it this time. I just finished my first by this author and loved it so much so I thought I should try this one too. All I really know about this one is that it takes place in a small town that loves hockey and a rape accusation on one of the players.
– The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella – I read this one years ago and recently some of my instagram friends and myself have been buddy reading her books so I thought I would go ahead and pick this one up in preparation. A woman on the verge of loosing it at her job walks out and gets hired as a maid/housekeeper but she doesn’t know how to clean or cook.
– Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella – Same reason for picking this one up, future buddy reads! A woman wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the last three years of her life, including a new fancy job and a husband!
– Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis – Jill Shalvis has quickly become one f my favorite comfort read authors so I tend to pick up any I find of hers while out thrifting. Im not sure on the plot of this one but its set in a small town in my state of Colorado and his ex-special forces so yes please!
– Get A Clue by Jill Shalvis – Again I just picked this one up because of the author but it has a shared bed trope and a cop! A dead body is found so this sounds more like mystery romance. Can’t wait to read this one. Also the cover of mine looks very different then the one on goodreads!
– Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer – I was not going to pick this one up but when I saw it for only $3.50 I couldn’t resist. It has been many years since I have been to Forks Washington but I think I will be headed back soon!
Hope you guys have enjoyed my little haul! If you have read any of these please let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Chasing Wind Kaira Karmakar Publication date: September 17th, 2020 Genres: Contemporary, Young Adult
A touching story set in India, Chasing Wind is a tale of two girls breaking barriers of class, distance, and time to forge an unforgettable friendship.
When twelve-year-old Siya travels from New Delhi to a small mountain village, she expects a relaxing summer vacation with her grandmother. A girl from the mountains quickly changes her plans for a lazy holiday. Pari is everything Siya isn’t: loud, carefree, and adventurous. She climbs over walls and rolls down hills without a second thought.
They come from different worlds. Siya’s city family has a housekeeper, a cook, and a driver; Pari’s dad cooks for Siya’s grandmother. As the girls share adventures in the forest and village, their worlds quickly intertwine. But all too soon, their time together ends, and Siya returns to the city. They never forget each other and keep in touch through letters—until their friendship is tested by a tragedy neither of them expects.
The fiery sun casts its warm rays across the bustling city, and it feels hotter than the inside of a stove. The dryness in the air stills the trees that usually sway along with the cheery wind. The marigolds, no longer nourished and appealing, have crisp petals the color of umber. It hasn’t rained for days, and now the parched leaves are covered in layers of dense dust and thin cobwebs. I can hear the sharp noises of rustling leaves and wheels skidding on the road echo in the bedroom. I’m relaxing on Mom and Dad’s comfy bed, right under the gushing air vent, watching my favorite TV program when Mom comes marching into the room.
“Siya, do you know where my wallet is?” she channels her dark eyes on me. Her shiny black hair reaches below her shoulders, bouncing as she trots around the bed. After looking under the pile of house-decor magazines on her table, her eyes are drawn back to me as she impatiently waits for a response.
“No,” I say, tilting my head back to the large TV screen.
“I kept it on the bed around an hour ago before you started watching TV,” she says, placing her hands on her hips, “right on top of the blanket.
Are you sure you haven’t seen it?” I shake my head.
“Yes, I’m sure. I don’t know where it is.”
“The pizza delivery man is standing outside our house, and I really need to pay him, or he might just leave.”
My friend Lila is coming over for lunch, so Mom ordered pizza for us to eat.
“I really don’t know where your wallet is. It wasn’t on your bed when I sat entered the room.”
Mom lifts up the fluffy blanket beside me and sighs after she pulls out her wallet from under the blanket.
“There it is,” I say, watching Mom’s face turn into a slight frown as she furrows her eyebrows. She presses her lips together.
“Lila’s mom said that Lila will be here in half an hour. Remember to get dressed on time.”
“Okay,” I mutter, so that Mom will stop troubling me.
“And turn off the TV in five minutes. You’ve already watched a lot of TV today.” She walks out of the room, leaving the door a little open even though she knows it annoys me. I’m in the middle of the best scene in the episode, and I cannot let anyone ruin it for me.

A Vampire’s Spell Marie-Claude Bourque (The Order of the Black Oak – Vampires #1) Publication date: September 24th 2020 Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
A VAMPIRE’S SPELL: A Slow-Burn Urban Fantasy Romance
Meet the Order of the Black Oak: a powerful order of modern-day warriors fighting evil to protect the ones they love.
Son of an ancient vampire and a legendary French witch, guilt-ridden Mont-Royal Immortal Valerian St-Amand must team with a powerful New England witch to protect his city from a crazed scientist seeking immortality. But as his well-guarded heart softens for Maisie Thibodeau, their quest to eradicate true evil from the streets of Montreal destroys any hope of everlasting love.
If you love loyal tough guys with hearts, satisfying slow-burn paranormal romance and safe Happily Ever Afters, then the Black Oak World is for you.
“5 stars – Fantastic series of action, magic and awesome romance. You will fall in love with the characters and feel you are right with them.”
She hadn’t said the word, he had. But he knew that was what witches and warlocks thought of him and his brothers.
And while he couldn’t care less about the opinion of others, he was expecting more from her. But no, she was only here to study him.
As he grimly stood in the Sanctuaire’s chapel, he watched her pour over a giant paper map of the city. She had stretched it over the altar, bordered it with five black candles and speckled the surface with anvil dust mixed with bone powder. A handful of railroad spikes and the hypodermic needle that had pricked Emmeline lay at the center.
His mind was on the witch instead of whoever had been after his blood.
He just couldn’t let it go. A future high priestess. Sounded like Marianne Thibodeau had forgotten to mention a few things about her granddaughter.
It shouldn’t matter. Really. Already her essence was fading from his veins. The gentle touch a waning memory.
Yet here she stood above the map. Her jet-black hair tied into a loose braid fell over one shoulder, the thick strand ending just at the tip of her breast. The small and high curve was much too defined under the small black t-shirt. The fabric of her top thin enough that he could make the outline of a small push-up bra.
Stop it, diable! Focus on the job. His balled fists and pained breath didn’t go unnoticed.
“You need to feed, Valerian.” Father Grégoire was right beside him, a heavy hand on his shoulder while his eyes went from Val to Maisie. The priest knew exactly how the immortal felt, the woman drawing both a surge of lust and hunger deep within him. His insides twisting and growling.
Val lifted a defiant chin at his friend. “We have time.”

Hello Book Friends!! How is everyones month going? Mine is good so far, soccer has started back up so my weekends are filled with games for my kids. Leaves are starting to change here so we are also hoping we can get out soon to do some leaf peeping. I read some great books for this round up, my favorite is Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching.
I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella – 4 Stars I went into this with some apprehension as I did not enjoy my previous Sophie Kinsella book. I am so glad I gave this one a chance because it was a really funny romance book. I do wish we would have had some romantic interaction between the two main characters but I understand why we didn’t. Highly recommend this one if you are looking for a fun lighthearted read.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson – 3 Stars Im not sure where to start with this one. Overall I liked the writing and found the story to be entertaining. My problem with the book was the main character Pip, she was a high schooler who decided that rules did not apply to her. At times she disregarded the rules and acted as if she was an adult and could do whatever she wanted. Maybe it’s because I am a parent but I really struggled with her as a character. Overall I think people would probably enjoy this one more than me.
Well Met by Jen Deluca – 4 Stars Re-Read I really enjoyed this one the first time and just as much this time!! I love a good ren faire and this one sounds like so much fun!! If you are looking for a romance with a fun setting this one is it! Simon is the grumpy teacher who now makes sure that the fair happens and Emily is new to town helping out her sister and niece after a bad car accident. The two get off to rocky start but their alter Faire egos can’t stay away from each other. If you are looking for a fun enemies to lover’s this is a good one.
When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole – 5 Stars I don’t even know where to begin with this book, I loved it so much!! I started listening to the audio of this while I was in my car driving for work but had to know how it ended so picked up my physical copy. We follow Sydney who lives in Brooklyn and notices some weird things going on her neighborhood. Her friends and neighbors who have been there her entire life are suddenly leaving with no goodbye and a new type of person is moving in. With the help of a new friend the two dig more deeply into what is happening. This was a great thrill ride from beginning to end and I highly recommend picking this one up! Thank you Netgalley and Librofm for my copies of this book.
Grin and Beard it by Penny Reid – 4 Stars This one was a re-read for me and I love this series so much. This is the second book in the Winston Brother’s series and it’s about Jethro who is the oldest of the seven children. Jethro has always been one of my favorite brother’s, he had a not so great past but he has really been trying to make amends. Jethro is a park ranger and is working to help remove bears on a movie set and meets Sienna Diaz, star of the movie. These are some of my all time favorite books and I highly recommend this series!
Sleeping With Shadows Rachel Hailey Published by: FyreSyde Publishing Publication date: September 22nd 2020 Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Once The King of Nightmares, Ashe lost everything when he was betrayed. Released from prison, he’s got one goal: Stay Free. To make that happen he’ll have to rescue the girl who stole his crown while saving the court he’d rather see burn. But he can’t do it alone. He needs Callie.
Abused, neglected, and finally shunned by The Court of Light, Callie is done with court politics. It’s just too damned bad Ashe doesn’t care. He’s arrogant, manipulative, and dangerous. Everything she’s been taught to fear. It would be so easy to hate him, but the sadness in his gaze calls to her heart, and his touch awakens her own darkness. She has never wanted anyone more.
Callie is Ashe’s darkest desire, but to earn his freedom and prevent the destruction of humanity, she must embrace the destiny that will keep them apart. But is the safety of the world worth losing the kind of love he’s only dreamed of?
THE SOFT KNOCK STAYED HER HAND. SHE LOOKED AT THE ALARM clock blinking in her palm as if the sound had somehow come from the object.
Before she could respond, the door swung open. The light from the hall illuminated Ashe. Callie’s mouth ran dry.
His shirt off, jeans unbuttoned and riding low on his hips, he looked like an advertisement for lust. Her eyes roamed over his perfect chest, following the swirling tattoos that curled down deliciously defined abs and continued under the denim waistband.
Her pulse jumped as he came toward her. Only then did she remember she was naked, not that she cared. She dropped the alarm clock, it bounced from the bed to the floor.
She ignored it. She only had eyes for Ashe. She bit her bottom lip as anticipation zinged through her body.
“Can’t sleep,” Ashe stated, his deep husky voice made her heart beat faster.
“No,” she whispered, still poised on her knees in the middle of the bed.
“You?” He stalked further into her room, as graceful as a hunting cat, and ten times more sensual than any human.
This would be amazing.
He stopped at the edge of the mattress and folded his hands behind his back.
“Not so much,” he replied.
“Need help?”
“That’s my line,” he said but didn’t move from his spot.
She laughed softly. “Then come help me.” She crooked her finger at him and watched with appreciation as his chest moved, sending muscles rippling.
“Lay down.” The strain in his voice was so erotic. Excitement building, she did as he bid. “Close your eyes.”
She should have expected him to be demanding. She grinned, loving it. Her sheet landed over her body before his hands deftly moved around her form, tucking her in so the sheet hugged the curves of her body.
His hands lingered, sending goosebumps cascading across her skin. The bed dipped as he leaned over her.
Callie moved her head so she could watch behind slitted eyes as he hovered.
“We have to sleep.”
Sleep was the last thing on her mind.
He brushed his fingertips across her lips, making her shiver. As his index finger lingered against her bottom lip, her mouth fell open, and she captured the digit between her teeth. He hissed in pleasure. Emboldened by the sound, she closed her lips around his finger and swirled her tongue around the tip. She tasted victory as she heard his breath speed.
She nipped him playfully before letting go. He growled, causing her to giggle.
“We really need to sleep.” Ashe’s eyes were glowing, and she could feel the beat of his magic. “You said that already.”
“I know.” Ashe leaned closer, his lips parted.
“Kiss me,” Callie whispered.
“That would be a bad idea.” His eyes seemed to grow brighter.

Intro: Laconic W.H. Rose Publication date: September 22nd 2020 Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult
Taein Kim, affectionately known as “Blondie”, is an incredibly talented young man and leader of the rookie K-Pop group Eclipse. Tae has his whole life and career in front of him, but it comes to a screeching halt when a standard meet and greet leads to him finding his soulmate, a foreign girl named after the goddess of love.
Venus Woods is the young heiress of the largest tech corporation in Southeastern America. Her life revolves around meaningless events and empty white walls, devoid of color and purpose. She never thought she would meet her favorite idol group, Eclipse, let alone form the incredibly rare soulmate bond with their leader. As if that’s not life-changing enough, her absent mother is determined to have the two married, using her daughter as a bargaining chip.
Separated by lifestyle, culture, and language, the teens have wall after wall between them. None of it stops the blossom of love that blooms in their hearts when they lock eyes under the cover of a thunderstorm.
Rain pelts down on me and quickly soaks through the pathetically thin hospital gown I’d woken up in. I hardly notice. The cold seems nearly nonexistent and I can barely see a foot in front of my face, the heavy rain turning everything into a blur. Regardless, I trudge on, trusting my feet to take me where I need to go. Lightning strikes again and briefly illuminates a small gazebo. I walk in that direction and step under it, my sight restored. Rain hangs off my lashes, falling like tears as I blink, taking in my surroundings. Lightning strikes once more, allowing me to see the figure propped against one of the gazebo’s columns. He sits with one knee pulled under his chin and stares out into the storm, seeming not to notice my presence. At this angle and under this poor lighting I am unable to tell much about him, his wet hair covering much of the side of his face. Hesitantly, I sit next to him, unsupported by a column. I study the boy’s back, attempting to figure out why he would be outside during the middle of a storm. That thought leads me to wonder why I myself am here. But I just felt this pull . . .
