2021 #TBRChallenge for January (Comfort Read) ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW by Kristan Higgins

Published by beckymmoe on 01/16/2021

Kristan Higgins is one of my OG romance authors. When I consciously decided to read mostly romance for the rest of my life (because my real life sucked enough at the time that I felt ZERO need to read books that might leave me sad or uncertain at the end–I required guaranteed HEAs in some aspect of my life, please) I found a used copy of one of her books–at the used book sale at the library I now am in charge of, maybe?–and proceeded to binge read her entire backlist ASAP. She became a go-to author, and when I…

What to read, what to read… (with a flowchart!)

Published by beckymmoe on 06/22/2014

         I found this graphic while procrastinating grading my final exams checking my email yesterday–too cute not to share! But seriously–no one reading this is going to limit themselves to just ONE romance hero this summer, right? Because that would be so, so wrong….   (Clicking on the graphic will take you to the HQN site, where you can read synopses of each book pictured.) I have already read Waiting on You by Kristan Higgins–loved it; I think it’s my favorite of her Blue Heron series so far. I’ve only held off reading Katie McGarry’s Take Me On because I’m hoping…

This is No Time to Panic! (Or is it the perfect time to panic? A Week in Review 11-22-13)

Published by beckymmoe on 11/23/2013

Maybe even six days too long. My weekend is pretty booked up too–don’t people understand I have to write? I’m on deadline here! And woefully behind! Oh, and my laptop officially died. I’m fairly certain the repair shop I took it to (and will never visit again, obviously) had a hand in it, though they deny it. Hey, guys–it was working fine when it came in, except for the crack in the screen. You “fix” the screen and suddenly it won’t turn on? The power button becomes permanently stuck down? The plastic protecting the hinge cracks off? Um, none of…
