HAPPY PUB DAY!!!
It’s finally here: the day Abby’s best book to date is released into the wild. I have loved each and every book of hers, Part of Your World just edges out ahead of the rest.
I’ve been a bit MIA but I just had to come back and blog about my favorite small town series! If you don’t already know, I had a soft spot for an Alaskan Yeti named Jonah (my main book boyfriend, ha!). So did Marie, his best friend. But she had to watch him fall in love with someone else over the span of 2.5 books. Well now our loyal friend Marie is getting her own well-deserved story. AND, I fear the Yeti may have lost his top spot as my book boyfriend to Tyler Brady (whom I pictured as Sam Hunt).
To rewind, if you haven’t read The Simple Wild series…you MUST! Besides the building love story of the main characters – you cannot help but fall in love with the quaint town and its supporting characters. Which is why I screamed in excitement when I was able to get access to an advanced copy of veterinarian Marie’s story, Running Wild. OH MAN WAS IT GOOD!It was so nice to be back in Alaska…even in the middle of winter here in the Northeast I didn’t mind the fictional cold.

I couldn’t wrap up the end of the year without sharing a few of my recent holiday reads; starting with Home for the Holidays by Sara Richardson. I just love how my book photo came out! 😉
This book was super cute, it left me with the biggest grin on my face!

Anxious People pubs today! Backman Fans: get your orders in with your local bookstores now!
My first Backman book was A Man Called Ove, then I went on to read Beartown and Us Against You; I instantly became an auto-buy Backman fan so when Atria Books provided me with an advanced reader ebook I felt like I WON the lottery!!
Anxious People did not disappoint, the writing was MAGNIFICENT. so clever and sharp. I loved every single character. It wasn’t a thriller per se, but it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
True to its title, my anxiety level while reading was super high.

Do you collect books just for their cover? That is me and all things Eiffel Tower.
I love this book cover: the Eiffel Tower, Paris in the title, and some of my favorite colors…it’s an eye catcher. Plus, it matches my favorite pajama pants. Ha!
