Talkie Tuesday: My Happy Marriage

 

"We should try to find our own shape of happiness."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Welcome to tonight's blog post of choice, and I'm pretty sure none of you saw this coming.
 
I've never really been an anime girlie, and I don't really consider myself one at the moment either, HOWEVER, Netflix has suddenly grabbed onto me with some of their select choices that they suggested I watch, and I have to say ... there's something there.
 
Howl's Moving Castle was of course my first foray into this animated world as an adult (I think I watched something else by accident when I was much younger, and I don't clearly remember it), but I've since expanded a little.
 
And I may have ordered all the manga volumes for this particular title because ... well.
 
Listen, if there's one thing that will ALWAYS get me, it's a ridiculously good story. And this is a ridiculously good story.
 
We'll be dividing the topic into two posts, as the show consists of two seasons, so tonight is covering the first. Just get your fans and admire the kimonos, because we're diving into My Happy Marriage.

Tome Thursday: Cinderella and the Billionaire Boss

 
Hello everyone!
 
And I hope you're ready for another lovely adventure by Serenity Woods.

Yes, yes we are indeed back to reading one of her novels, and one has to point out these really are NOVELS, in that they're the longest books she's written to date.

I love it!

Sooo much haha, it's just the most amazing thing in the world because the more substance any book has, the more enjoyable it is to read as far as I'm concerned. So when all is said and done, that's the thing that gets me the most.

Yes, I see you, the rest of Outlander. I see you. But you're just going to have to wait a second.

For right now, I'm stuck in the contemporary world with contemporary billionaires who just so happen to be absolutely amazing.

Without further ado let's get into it, shall we?

Cinderella and the Billionaire Boss starts the Wellington Billionaires trilogy, continuing the Boss in a Billion series!

Tome Thursday: In Step

 
Hello everyone!
 
I have a really, REALLY good book for you this week, and I'm not just saying it.
 
A while ago I ran into a blurb telling me about a book that was GOING to be released sometime in early 2022, and I added it to my 'to be read' list on Goodreads.
 
Turns out, I'd been right to do so.
 
I've had a soft spot for same-sex romance books since I discovered that they even exist, because a lot of the time, the tropes that have become so incredibly boring and over-written in heterosexual romances take on a new life when it's two men or two women.
 
I don't know what it is!
 
This one tonight isn't exactly outdated, it's just a really clever one, but it's DEFINITELY worth the time and the read. I think I managed in about three sittings, and each sitting I found something to bawl my eyes out over.
 
No joke.
 
So without further ado: In Step. Because everybody needs a little dance in their life.

Tome Thursday: Kiss and Cry

 
Hello everyone!
 
Are you surprised?
 
No one should be surprised. I tend to be like a bloodhound on a scent whenever Keira Andrews releases a new book!
 
Which was exactly what happened this week.
 
If you've been following this blog for a while then you'll know that I pretty much have Anderson books galore in review on here, and I'm STILL not finished, because I keep finding more that I haven't picked up yet.
 
However, as I was reading her latest holiday-inspired one, I was very much aware that it would lend itself very well to a sequel, which means that I was super stoked when the author actually announced one!
 
I mean, come on. When you have characters that seem to just pop off the page in a way that makes it impossible to ignore them, what else are you going to do but write their story, correct?
 
I know. Absolutely correct.
 
So lace up those skates and let's head on into Kiss and Cry, shall we?

Tome Thursday: Santa, the Billionaire

 
Hello everyone!
 
Why yes, yes indeed I am reviewing a Serenity Woods romance this holiday season.
 
Did you think it wasn't going to happen?
 
Naturally it was going to.
 
Of course Ms Woods has other holiday-themed ones that mostly happen in the summer in New Zealand, which always gives me whiplash since I live in the northern hemisphere and that means our winters are cold, not summery, but that's beside the point right now.
 
Tonight it's time to return to our favourite Billionaire Princes, and have a look at what their patriarch is up to when no one's looking (or he thinks no one's looking anyway).
 
And if you've been following me for a while you'll know that I've been covering this series from the very first book forward, which means that I will obviously cover it until the very last (we have two more to go!).
 
PLUS there's a small bonus happening here soon, but more on that later. For now, let's check out what Santa, the Billionaire, gets up to during the festive season!

Tome Thursday: Tempting Autumn


Hello everyone!

Back with another book review this week, and I also have to say I have FINALLY figured out how to schedule my blog posts.

I know, I know, where have I been living all this time, right?

Well, unfortunately, I don't usually have to think about scheduling in any event because I'm right by the computer in the evenings and I can press the 'publish' button without any kind of problem. But when I'm off with my friends or doing something else, then things might get a little bit difficult, so I tested it this Tuesday and TA-DA! It works!

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning haha!

Now on to what I'll be talking about here, which is another book by Serenity Woods, this one titled Tempting Autumn, the second in Ms Woods' Four Seasons series. 

And since it's basically autumn now, what better way to commemorate it?
