Hello There, It's been a bit of a slow reading week.

My Copy of the Book Blurb: Every fangirl has a fantasy . . . what happens when that “if only” dream comes true?  Though she’s a single mom wedged firmly into thirty-something territory, author Kallie Reagan’s devotion to rock star Niles Russell knows no bounds. To pay homage to her muse, Kallie writes a smokin’ hot novel featuring a hero who looks and acts an awful lot like Niles — and a heroine who may or may not have a smattering of herself thrown in for fun.  When Niles learns about the book and surprise-texts Kallie, the two deliciously complicated creatives become fast friends . . . and so much more. But trying to define a relationship that’s laced with closeted skeletons, half-truths, and constant question marks proves harder than making it big. If they’re going to progress from Fangirl Infatuation to The Real Deal, these two need to give each other All Access to the most important place of all: their hearts.  About the Author: Liberty Kontranowsk...

My Copy of the Book Blurb: All children’s book illustrator Claire Turner ever wanted was to be a mother. After six years of trying to conceive, she and her husband, Josh, have finally accepted that she will never be pregnant with a child of their own. Yet once they give up hope, the couple gets the miracle they’ve been waiting for. For the first few months of her pregnancy, Claire and Josh are living on cloud nine. But when she begins to experience debilitating headaches, blurred vision, and even fainting spells, the soon-to-be mother goes to the doctor and receives a terrifying diagnosis.

And as her symptoms worsen, Claire will have to make an impossible decision: Save her own life, or save her child’s?

Hello Everyone, Since I got myself a new kindle, I managed to finish 'Second Chances' by Lincoln Cole (and am going to be reading another one of his books soon), so I'll be posting that review on Genuine Jenn this coming week. I really ended up enjoying this book. I'll be posting the links in my next 'Week of Reading'. The next book I started was the one that I requested on Netgalley, 'Saving Abby' by Steena Holmes, and so far, it's interesting. I'm hoping to finish this one before it goes into the archive gallery! A review for this will be coming on my blog this week! I've also started looking very closely at my tbr for this month as well...and I've realized that I've put a lot on my plate. But I probably will get through my reading list; I'll just have to prioritize better (got to stop watching youtube videos!), since I've started working full day as well and don't have the time on my hands that I used to. ...

Hello Everyone, Here are my highlights for the week: - I requested a book on Netgalley and got approved for it. - I started another book for review. The book that I got from Netgalley is 'Saving Abby' by Steena Holmes, and I saw this book due to BookSparks, as they are having their Summer Reading Challenge. I signed up, but then I didn't get chosen to review the books that they had for the month, but I at least managed to get hold of one of the books via Netgalley. And then the book that I started this week on the 3rd of June was 'Second Chances' by Lincoln Cole. So far it's really good. And then here are the reviews for 'Flying by the Seat of my Knickers' by Eliza Watson: Flying by the Seat of my Knickers by Eliza Watson: Goodreads:  Goodreads Review - Flying by the Seat of my Knickers Amazon:  Amazon Review - Flying by the Seat of my Knickers Here is my blog review of the book:  Blog Review - Flying by the Seat of my Knickers ...

My Copy of the Book Blurb: Why run from your troubles when you can fly instead?  When Caity Shaw is fired from her first job that doesn’t require an elf uniform, her older sister, Rachel, an event planner, hires her to work a meeting in Dublin. Caity jumps at the opportunity to travel abroad and escape her pathetic life. However, even four thousand miles from home, there’s no avoiding debt collectors, an overbearing mother, and haunting memories of a controlling ex.  While in Dublin, Caity suffers a series of humiliating mishaps, causing her to lose even more faith in herself. Caity struggles to earn Rachel’s respect—and to keep Declan, her hot Irish coworker, at arm’s length.
