The Sunday Snapshot – Week of September 23rd

You may have noticed I haven’t been online as much lately… I’ve been super busy with some new things in the works including getting a new website launched very, very soon! Stay tuned! Lots of new features for you that I think you guys will love! And it’s real, real PURRRRTY!!! 🙂

Also, I’m currently lucky enough to be reading an ARC of Convicted by Aleatha Romig… I only mention it because I recommend you all brush up on Truth, book 2… I would try and re-read that book. It will be really helpful! But let me tell you… this book is DAMN GOOD!!! This is a 6-star series for me!
(Buy: Consequences | Truth)

AND….. Today is the first official day of Fall… to celebrate, Angie from Angie’s Dreamy Reads and I are hosting a BIG… REALLY BIG giveaway that is kicking off tomorrow at around 9:00 a.m. CST!!! You’re going to want to enter this one. TRUST ME!

Lastly, are you all feeling as cuckoo as I am with all the incredible releases lately?! I mean, WOW! I need a whole two weeks off work to just catch up! <3

MUST READ OF THE WEEK:

This week, I’ve got to recommend both the Take This Regret series by A.L. Jackson as well as the Consequences series by Aleatha Romig. Both 6-star series for me, both incredible authors!

Take This Regret series is incredibly emotional, heartfelt and beautifully written. I ugly-cried with Take This Regret, I’m not afraid to admit it! If Forever Comes is my next book and I can’t wait to see how Elizabeth and Christian’s story ends! The first two books are only $.99 right now too!
