I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Mine was surprisingly pleasant, since the usual extended family gathering was called off, and that was something to be thankful for. ;) It was just the immediate family and the dogs, and was 100 times better.

Not the best step week. I've been strangely exhausted lately, and have been falling asleep before my usual nighttime dog walk more often than not. Hoping to quit that!

Yeah, I'm rereading. I know a lot of people don't care for this one, but I just...love it so much. #cantstopwontstop

Working my way through this audio! I'm really enjoying it, and the narration is fantastic.

A pretty quiet week all in all. The hurricane that hit Florida this week danced around us with just a hint of wind and some thunder and rain, lucky for us. 
Aside from an extremely uncomfortable TMJ flare up and cramps, it was a pretty good week!


I can't believe we're already in September. The year's flying by!

{Book Review} Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland 

Read This Week

2 stars!
I'm too much of a smut connoisseur for mindless porn bundles at this point. 

5 stars!
This was epic!

2 stars!
This guy was the biggest douche I've read all year.
Audiobook 

3 stars!
BDSM is always fascinating, and I've only read a few with a female dominant. It was interesting!

3.5 stars!
Enjoyable, if a bit predictable. Can't wait for the second audiobook to release!
Audiobook

3 stars!
Sex, sex, angst, sex, cute, sex. Quick read!

5 stars!
This was such an adorably sweet and feelsy love story!

Audiobooking this one. I like the female narrator, not too sure on the male version. Otherwise I'm enjoying it so far!

I'm really loving this one!

Another pretty quiet week, with one exception: I did a radio interview last Sunday! It was a deeper look into an article I wrote on my other blog, and that post exploded into thousands of shares and that interview. I was sick with nerves, but it went quite well. :)

The humidity this week has been brutal. It feels like you're drowning where you stand! August is the most brutal summer month in Florida, I think.

I reached the 100 (actually 102 now) mark on my Goodreads challenge this week! 30 more to go! Well, 28 now. ;)

Read This Week

3 stars!
I was pleasantly surprised with this BDSM erotic romance. There was a lot more substance and story than one would expect!

5 stars!
My new favorite rocker romance, and the latest addition to my "Best of 2016" list!

3 stars!
Again, a surprisingly deep read for the genre and subject matter.

4 stars!
I sort of guessed the twist, and the hero's behavior towards the end bothered me, but otherwise this was a great read. Fun, sexy, flirty, had some depth, and was quick and easy. This is definitely the author's best work to date.

4...I think... stars!
I'm really torn on this one. The whole Dani thing still gives me major creeps, because I have a sister Dani's age and it makes me skin crawl to picture her in that light. On the fence about Jada. Don't like Ryodan. LOVE Lor! Super Spy Mac was great, and I still love Barrons.
Audiobook. Fantastic narration!

3.5 stars!
Definitely not up to snuff with the first one, but still enjoyable and action packed, especially for young adult.

Currently Reading

Almost finished with this, and I really like it!
Audiobook

About 45% in, and unimpressed. Very flat characters and I kinda want to stab the heroine.

I'm currently on vacation! Well, working vacation/sort of staycation type of thing. We're staying about 45 minutes from home, right in the heart of work and at a client's beach house. It's pretty swanky, all things considered! Although I do wish that it was, like, October. So hot. SO many damn people.

I'm exhausted/crampy/headache-y, but being this is certainly a nice place to feel like shit. :D I'm hoping to get a good bit of reading done, but we'll see!

Missed two days of yoga, but not bad considering all I want to do is sprawl on the couch and vegetate.

Most funny, some sexy, a few downright strange, but all of them very fucking awkward.

Not too sure how I feel about this so far...the heroine is annoying.

A very minimal work week (just a long day yesterday) this week, which means tons of reading! I'm currently hooked on a YA paranormal romance series, and I forgot how much I love a good binge read. 

I'm currently running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to prepare for a conference in Phoenix, AZ, in less than two weeks. It's a large pet blogging conference (yes, that's actually a large niche! My other blog, a dog blog, is my part time job), and I've been given a full ride to attend on behalf of a very big company. I'm so nervous and excited, especially since this little bit is attending with me:

The blog inspiration, and the reason I'm being sponsored. 

Still hot. So, so, so hot. We're officially in the 90s, and the heat index topped 100 the other day. I've come to the sad conclusion that I am not going to be walking as much as I did in the cooler months, because it's just unbearable. As such, I've upped my yoga. I'm ready to move!

Despite the heat, I did make it to at least 10,000 steps each day, except for Thursday. Thursday was spent at the DMV....

Read This Week

5 stars!
I swear, it's impossible for this author to write something I won't adore. Another for the Best of 2016 shelf!

3 stars!
I finished this incredibly sexy serial series this week. Each book is around 100 pages, and goddamn, it's some good smut. Romantic suspense with a heavy dose of erotica, I'd call it. 

3 stars!

3 stars!

4 stars!

3 stars!
This was interesting and engaging read, though it had several issues. I believe it was the author's first book, and it definitely reads like that. However, totally addictive regardless of those problems!

4 stars!
I cried. I cried that ugly, can't-breathe-through-your-nose kind of crying. And then immediately bought the third book and dove in. 

2.5-3 stars!
I wanted to like this story, and the idea had potential. However, I couldn't get past the lack of real chemistry or feeling, the incredibly rushed ending, or the plethora of placeholder characters.

3 stars!
Addictive and interesting, but fell flat with an maybe-sort-of-possibly-I-don't-know-but-fuck-it's-annoying love triangle. It was settled at the end, but it sapped my enjoyment a bit.

Currently Reading

Just started it, and I'm a little frustrated with the heroine. 

After a slow start, this is picking up and is becoming quite enjoyable. The audiobook is quite good!
