Book Tag: Top reads of 2018

Hi guys!
It's time to announce my top reads of 2018.
2018 was full of many amazing reads! I read 101 books this year, and broke down my favorites to 15.

In no particular order my favorite reads of 2018 include

* Crowned With Guilt and Cleansed With Fire by S.K. Rose. I LOVED these books! Such amazing emotional YA/NA romance reads!

* The Wrong Blaze by Meagan Brandy. If you love angst with your romance then you will love this!

* Midnight Blue, Bane, and Dirty Headlines by LJ Shen. She is the queen of writing assholes. Bane continues the Sinners of Saints series of standalones, and Midnight Blue is a Rockstar romance, and Dirty Headlines is a workplace romance.

*The Royals series by Erin Watt. More YA/NA angsty romance filled with drama.

*A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas. I loved returning to the fae world she beautifully created.

*Dawson Family Series by Emily Goodwin. Best friends younger sister? Check. Surprise pregnancy? Check. And a huge loving family? Double check. And that is just book 1 & 2! Book 3 follows a con artist nanny, working for a cop.

*The Bishop Brothers series by Kennedy Fox. Seriously, if you love southern romances these are for you!

* The Texting series by Teagan Hunter. I love these romantic comedies so much! Let's Get Textual is a romance that began with a text from a wrong number. I Wanna Text You Up is a roamnce between roommates. And Can't Text This is a teacher and her student's stingle dad.

*Violent Circle series and Jilted series by S.M. Shade. Scarlet Toys, Frat House, and Clean Start are all laugh out loud romantic comedies that are a must read. Duplicity and Feracity is a Rockstar romance with a twist.

*Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M Orgeron & Kate Stewart. Such a emotional read beginning to end.

*Limelight by Alyson Santos. An emotionally charged rockstar romance.

*I Dare You by Shantel Tessier is another YA/NA romance filled with drama beginning to end.

(Not pictured)
* The Wild Ones series by CM Owens. Another romantic comedy about a small town filled with crazy fun.

*Someone Else's Ocean by Kate Stewart. Another great emotional read.

*Dirty Deeds series by J. Daniels. Absolutely loved Four Letter Word (another wrong number text book), Hit the Spot (enemies to lovers), and Bad For You (friends to lovers/single parent romance).

*Voyuer by Fiona Cole. Talk about a steamy student teacher romance.

*Broken by Ellie Messe. Okay so this was one of last year's favorites, but I did reread it this year and still honestly love it! Plus, Famished came out this year (I haven't grabbed my copy yet, but I cannot wait to jump into it for 2019!)


Honerable Mentions:
Some fantastic honerable Mentions include (in no particular order)

*Four Day Fling by Emma Hart. Another romantic comedy of what happens when you bring a one night stand to your sisters wedding.

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

Weekly Newsletter - June 27

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school. She had half days all week and now she is home for summer break until after Labor Day in September.  And I finished up two books. We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, and sexy and a great, quick read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here What I Watched This Week:  What I Listened To This Week:  Weekly Meme:    Recent Releases  | Upcoming Releases  |  Freebies Title:...

Weekly Newsletter - June 13

  As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic.  Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well.  Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success.  Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
