Monday Musts, No. 3

Hey guys!

I saw Monday Musts over at Kimberly Faye Reads (originally done by Lovin' los libros) and thought it looked perfect for my lazy self like a lot of fun! All you have to do is share your Must Read, Must Listen and Must Watch for the week.




Must Read


This was such an amazing read! 5 stars and quickly earned a spot on my "Best of 2017" shelf. The narration was spot on, and I honestly think I prefer this series to Kate Daniels. 



Must Listen


The music to this song is so gorgeous. 


Must Watch


Working my way through season 1 of Supernatural, and it's been the only show I've watched lately where I can watch episodes back to back without getting twitchy. Normally I'm too ADD to binge watch. ;)
Feel free to suggest any Netflix shows! I'm open to most anything, but my favorite shows so far have been this one, How I Met Your Mother, and The 100.

The Sunday Post/It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Hey, ladies!



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a fun weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date where we share what we've read and reviewed over the past week and what we plan to read next.


This was a very low-key work week! I did so much binge watching of Supernatural, it was ridiculous. That show is crack-like with how addictive it is. Between that, The 100, and How I Met Your Mother, I'm feeling very dorky lately.

It's officially too hot to be outside, unless it's early morning or night. The humidity is so high it feels like drowning if you take a deep breath, and the blast of heat that comes from opening any outside door is insane. This is the time of year I really, really hate Florida.
The one upside to that it's now officially blueberry season here! Fresh, local berries are my favorite, and I've been eating blueberry-everything the past couple days. So delicious.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Dads

Hey guys!


It's Top Ten Tuesday by The Broke and The Bookish! Since Father's Day is this weekend, this week's topic is all about bookish fathers. Unfortunately, there's a serious lack of good parents in books. Like, I struggled to gather these books that have halfway decent fathers and father figures.. ;) I will say that it was much, much easier to find good fathers than it was to find good mothers.
That said, let's jump right in!















This was stupidly adorable.





Jake was ridiculously swoony

This week was absolutely insane with work, and just really busy overall. It was another working vacation at the beach, which made it a bit less stressful. ;) There wasn't any time for reading though, which is really the only downside. When I wasn't working, I was exploring the beach town or attempting to sleep (insomnia has been a bitch lately).
While tourists are great from a money standpoint, I'll be so glad when they stop congesting the area so much.

Happy June, ladies! I can't believe we're already smack dab in the middle of 2017; this year has absolutely flown by. May was a little rough for me, with emotions all over the place and my anxiety higher than normal. I'm feeling much better now, and am excited for summer (minus the 100 degree temps...)!

I don't know if I have a head cold or allergies, but oh my god. I've been an on-and-off snot factory this week, with aching ears, watery eyes and sneezing like mad. Also, I'm whiny.

I managed to read two books this week, which insane considering May was like...5 books total. Oops. I can always count on Rachel Vincent to break me out of a slump!

Not where I would've chosen to take the story, but Vincent handled it with grace and made it very enjoyable.
3 stars!
Quick, stupid, sexy.

35% into this audiobook and I'm in love. I think Nevada and Rogan will edge out Kate and Curran before this series is over.

I really suck with reading this month. Life is pretty busy lately and it was only yesterday that I actually sat down and read some. I'm trying to get back into the habit of doing that each day! Oh, and I did get a new Kindle this week! Even though I haven't been reading, it was really stressful to not have the option if I wanted to. #BookwormProblems
It is a newer version than the one I had and I freaking love it!

This series is such a guilty pleasure read. I can always rely on it for an easy, fun read with action, humor and romance!

I'm not too far into this one, but I'm strangely intrigued. It's quite a bit darker than I normally read and at 25% in, I'm already uncomfortable, but I can't seem to quit.

New to My TBR

Hey guys!

I'm feeling lazy when it comes to in-depth post ideas, so I decided to do a "recent additions to my TBR" type of thing. Let's jump right in, and feel free to share any of yours below!

A heartwarming tale of terror in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.

Meet Sarah and David.

Once upon a time they met and fell in love. But now they're on the verge of divorce and going to couples' counseling. On a routine trip to their counselor, they notice a few odd things - the lack of cars on the highway, the missing security guard, and the fact that their counselor, Dr. Kelly, is ripping out her previous client's throat.

Meet the Zombies.

Now, Sarah and David are fighting for survival in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. But, just because there are zombies, doesn't mean your other problems go away. If the zombies don't eat their brains, they might just kill each other.


I, Ethan Antonio Giovanni Callahan, first son of the former head of the Irish mob, Liam Alec Callahan, and former head of the Italian mafia, ex-governor, Melody Nicci Giovanni Callahan, solemnly swear to ruthlessly protect our family name, business and way of life, no matter the cost to me or anyone else. I shall show no mercy; I shall offer no forgiveness; there will be no peace for those who stand against me.

I will live for my family.
I will kill for my family.
I will marry for my family.

I, Ivy O'Davoren, the only daughter of Shay O'Davoren, solemnly swear to ruthlessly and mercilessly exact revenge on the Callahans and all those who betrayed my father and family. 

I will live for revenge.
I will kill for revenge.
I will marry for revenge.

***

You devoured the Ruthless People series. Now it’s time to revel in the reign of the Callahan children…

Stand-alone sequel series to Ruthless People series. You do not have to read Ruthless People series beforehand .



Nico Medina’s world is eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors are open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun sets, it becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch from idling cars that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from pipes. 

West End is the kind of place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another. And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.

I’m Reagan Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect family. 
Life on top. 
Lies.
My world is the ugly one. Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years. 

In our twisted world, a boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback. 
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was almost too late. 

When two ugly worlds collide, even the strongest fall. But my world…it hasn’t met the boy from West End.



A new stand alone office romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

I’ve always had one rule:

Don’t mix business and pleasure.

But then Landon Wright comes home to his family’s construction company with a broken back and a beaten heart and ends up as my new sexy boss. As the office gets heated, I’m thinking about throwing the rulebook out the window.

If only there weren’t a million reasons this could never work.

We may have shared a single perfect kiss, but I can’t let our intense connection cloud my judgment. Not with everything I’ve worked for on the line.

Dating your boss is so very, very wrong…even if he feels so Wright.
 


Seven years ago Kaylin fled the crime-riddled streets of Nightshade, knowing that something was after her. Children were being murdered — and all had the same odd markings that mysteriously appeared on her own skin...

Since then, she's learned to read, she's learned to fight and she's become one of the vaunted Hawks who patrol and police the City of Elantra. Alongside the winged Aerians and immortal Barrani, she's made a place for herself, far from the mean streets of her birth.

But children are once again dying, and a dark and familiar pattern is emerging, Kaylin is ordered back into Nightshade with a partner she knows she can't trust, a Dragon lord for a companion and a device to contain her powers — powers that no other human has. Her task is simple — find the killer, stop the murders... and survive the attentions of those who claim to be her allies!
 


He's got one shot to make it right...

He's Landon Rhodes.
The Renegade they call Nova.
Sinfully gorgeous, broody, tatted-up, professional snowboarder.

They say a girl broke him once--
That's why he's so reckless, so driven, so careless with his conquests.
But I'm that girl.
They can call me his curse all they want.
He and I both know the truth--
He's the one who destroyed me,
And I'm too smart to let that happen again.
