I'm back with My Favorite Non-Review Books!
I've been a little MIA lately because I'm just so tired. Work last week just about killed me and then we drove up to my daughter's house (4 1/2 hours each way) and while I loved seeing the kids there was absolutely no rest. I'm looking forward to Thursday since I only work half-day then I'm off the rest of the week.
I have mixed feelings on Friday since the root-canal I had scheduled last Friday got pushed to this one coming and I don't relish the idea of spending 3 hours in a dental chair: shots, drilling and other horrors. Can I fast forward to Friday afternoon, please?
I'm a little late as September is halfway over (how is that possible?!), but here are my August picks.
As a blogger sometimes writing reviews can feel like a chore so it seems I rarely write reviews for non-review books anymore. I feel bad about that, because it's not that I didn't enjoy them less than the books I review here, just that I don't have the time or energy to write a review for each and every book I read. I thought it would be nice to list my favorite non-review books each month to bring more attention to them.

Emma's involved in an accident and wakes from a coma to find her BFF and fiancé together while trying to put her life back together again. I love these triumph over extreme adversity type of stories, and the romance was oh-so-good!

It was hard to stop listening to this one, but I do think it would've benefited by some editing down. Great audio with a full-cast of characters.

Book #9 in the Psy-Changeling series. One of my favorites. I'm already almost done with the next book.
I only read three non-review books in August, but I think I've already exceeded that in September. I'm too tired to look right now.
How about you? What were your favorite non-review books recently?
Good luck with the dentist. I hope it all goes well (and is painless). I love Shalvis and I really adored Love for Beginners. The romance was great, but I liked the friendship that developed between Emma and Ali too.
ReplyDeleteYes! I really enjoyed their becoming friends after being enemies.
DeleteThanks for sharing; I love little reviews like these. I hope all goes well on Friday! And I feel you about being tired and just a bit burnt out.

Thanks, Lauren! I'm so ready for Friday to be over! Hope you get some rest, too! :)
DeleteI'm a stalwart Jill Shalvis fan and I enjoyed this one. Of course, I'm loving the Read-along, although that wasn't certain at the beginning as I hadn't read this series. It just keeps getting better from where you are. Thanks for joining us!

I haven't read that many books by her but I have enjoyed what I read, but this has to be my favorite so far. 5 Stars all the way!
DeleteI love Jill Shalvis books, I don't think I've read Love for Beginners, so I"m going to check it out. I've wondered about the James Patterson/Bill Clinton book. I might have to check that out too, I think it's a wise choice to listen to audiobook for that one too.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read James Patterson. This one with Clinton looks good. Yay for enjoying the PsyChangeling books!
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun book. I was wondering how the former President would fair as a writer. He did well! Yes, loving the series!
DeleteI like Jill Shalvis but I've only read one of her books so far. I hope you get some rest this week.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hadn't read many by her before. Maybe less than 5 books, but this has been my favorite so far.
DeleteI have Singh's Kiss of Snow in my library stack right now. It's a fun series. And good luck on Friday! Anything to do with dentists and drilling makes me shudder. I hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Hawk and Sienna's romance! Yes, I hate going to the dentist! I'm dreading how long it's supposed to take! Thanks, Lark! Me too! :)
DeleteI can definitely understand this Rachel. It can be so exhausting sometimes right? I just love that one of Nalini Singh's ...its so good.
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm looking forward to Friday afternoon. I don't feel like I can enjoy my day off until that dental appointment is over.
DeleteI've had The President is Missing on my TBR forever. Now that there's a sequel, I really do need to get around to reading it. Hope your dental work goes off without a hitch and that you're able to get some rest this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, while I have posts from a week ago and I have done nothing, ooops
