Tempting Autumn (Booktober)

 

"You called me Nathan. You got me kid; right in the heart."

One of my favourite authors of all time has a series centering around four friends who open a lingerie store in New Zealand. Conveniently, their stories are set in the seasons, and Rowan's is autumn. Now, because New Zealand is down south, you'd worry this isn't going to be a cozy story, but Rowan and her man head into the unknown together where it's quite fresh enough, plus there are jackets and fall leaves all over the place, so you can easily cuddle with a blanket.

Also, New Zealand. There's no way you can miss out on this!

Fashion designer Rowan thought she’d accepted that marriage and babies would never be a part of her life, but when her muse abandons her she realizes she hasn’t come to terms with it at all. Lonely and miserable, she accepts Hitch’s tempting offer of an autumn adventure in the hope that maybe, in the peace of the mountains, she’ll find the answers she needs ...

Tome Thursday: Heir of Fire

Hello everyone!

In honour of finishing another Maas book, I decided to hit the reviews yet again and see just what, precisely, I'm missing in a series I've been reading.

This series being, of course, the Throne of Glass series.

I've said it before somewhere and it bears repeating: for some odd reason, I can only read about Celaena if I'm really in the mood, and this works so that if I'm in said mood AND I pick up the book, I'll breeze through it in one or two sittings.

But, should I be in the mood, and get distracted, then I won't be able to get back into it by the time I return.

This, usually, leads to the poor assassin-slash-queen having to sit there and stew for a while as I go about my merry way.

Sometimes it takes me longer than usual to get back on track.

Unfortunately, this was also what happened with Heir of Fire.
