Cover Reveal ~ Amy Matayo’s The Party Planning Committee

Amy Matayo is one of my grocery list authors 😉 Yep, I’d read a grocery list written by her as she would find a way to make it whip smart, funny, and engaging. Just like all of her entire backlist – I’ve read and adored each one.

So, it’s a no brainer that I’m sharing in the cover reveal today for her third Reality Show novel that I will be reading soon, The Party Planning Committee, set to release on 5th October, 2021. The title is pure Matayo genius and the synopsis even more fun.

But before we get …

Lawless by Tamara Leigh (Audiobook)

Synopsis:~

THE WULFRITHS. IT ALL BEGAN WITH A WOMAN

A battle. A crown. The conqueror. The conquered. Medieval England—forever changed by the Battle of Hastings. And the rise of the formidable Wulfriths.

THE CONQUEROR’S MAN

Having lost all—the woman he loved, great friendship, and lands—Sir Guy wants only to end the insurrection plaguing England.

Cover Reveal ~ Natalie Jenner’s Bloomsbury Girls

One of my favourite general market reads of 2020 is Natalie Jenner’s debut novel, The Jane Austen Society. A delightful ensemble read, made even more enjoyable as I listened to the audiobook read by actor Richard Armitage. You can read my review of the audiobook here.

In 2022, Natalie Jenner’s will release another story that is an ode to the love of books and the treasure and community we can find amongst fellow booklovers. Bloomsbury Girls also features the wonderful Evie Stone readers will remember from The Jane Austen Society, a young intelligent teen forced to leave …

Then Came You by Rachel D. Russell and Susan May Warren

Synopsis:~

He’s in Deep Haven to relax.

Detective Daniel “Boone” Buckam is more than burned out. After fourteen stellar years on the job, one bad judgment call—and, fine, a whole lot of cynicism—has forced him into a mandatory vacation. If he can get his head on straight, there’s a job as Police Chief waiting for him back in his Minneapolis suburb.

But then he meets Vivien.

Actress Vivien Calhoun isn’t really a drama queen. Sure, she gets swept up in the emotions of life—but please, she’s an actress. Or, um, was until a stalker made her flee the bright lights …

The Merchant and the Rogue by Sarah M. Eden

Synopsis:~

London, 1865

Vera Sorokina loves reading the Penny Dreadfuls and immersing herself in tales of adventure, mystery, and romance. Her own days are filled with the often-mundane work of running the book and print shop she owns with her father. The shop offers her the freedom and income to employ and protect the poverty-stricken Londoners she’s come to care about, and it gives her father something to do other than long for their hometown of St. Petersburg. She is grateful for the stability in their lives, but she often feels lonely.

Brogan Donnelly was born and raised in Ireland, …

My dear reading friends – life has been quite the challenge for all of us over the past 18 months or so, no matter which side of the hemisphere we live. As you will have noticed my posts here have been sporadic here for some time, which I am sorry for.

I wanted to fill you in a little on what’s been going on for me and my family (before we get to the good stuff of book covers!). Let me be clear. This is not a political post and as this is a book blog, any political comments will …
