A long month so far

It has been a long month so far everyone. I'm not sure how October has been for you, but for me it's gone by much too fast. I want to self-publish my book this month, but to be honest I'm not sure that is realistic anymore. Maybe it will be if there is enough good football on this weekend to keep my husband entertained.

Anyhow...work has been crazy and my hours have been completely unpredictable. I had a whole TBR for this month and...I've gotten through Binti. That's it. It's less than 200 pages.

Non TBR reads:
Leapords Fury by Christine Feehan- finished in 2 days- reread 5 stars
Alone in the Kitchen with An Eggplant: Various authors- 4 stars

I've read lots of cooking books this month. I feel the need to feel cozy. We've had 75 degree days, snow days, and weird fall days that remind me of living in Ohio(like today). I've also been re-reading the Shifters series by Christine Feehan prior to the release of the next book in the series the first week in November.

I just received audio copies of:
The Employee Millionaire by H.J. Chammas
New Millennium Beginner Spanish by Patrick Jackson.

Thank you to the authors for copies! I can't wait to listen to them!

So here we are in the last few days of the month;
- I have a book to finish myself
-Prep work for NaNoWriMo
-2 new audiobooks to review
-I've finished 3 books.

Happy Wednesday!

Are you doing NaNoWriMo?

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers.  Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses.  A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break.  Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...

Top 3 Books of the Year

There is a great post on Goodreads right now about the Goodreads Team's Top 3 Reads of the Year. I love posts like that because they are so personal. Everyone loves different things for different reasons. Some of the top books are books that were written decades ago, but are new to the reader. I love those. My Top 3 Books of the Year are: -Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Mass -Only Human by Sylvain Nuevel -The Loose Ends list by Carrie Firestone What are your top 3 reads of the year? What makes you choose a book as one of your top 3 reads of the year? For me: 1. Made me think 2. Made me feel 3. Put me in the character's shoes 4. Taught/ reminded me of a valuable lesson
