The Reading Rush 2019 - It's A Wrap! | @GraceBurrowes @rebutlerauthor #readingrush @TheReadingRush


This was my Second Year attempting to complete the Reading Rush (formally called the BookTubeAThon) and it was an epic fail. Mostly because I had just returned from vacation so for a majority of the week I was assisting clients from my business instead of fully participating in this read-a-thon. In addition, I knew I was never going to complete all of the challenges that were a part of 2019's Reading Rush but I had hoped to at least read through THREE Novels/Novellas within the whole week ... and that did not happen. BUT THANKFULLY I did enjoy the novel that I read and the beginning of the novella that I tried to begin at the end of this read-a-thon.

SO ... check out the last day from my week long vlog AND my read-a-thon wrap-up within the video below:

"Second Chance Amish Bride" [The Brides of Lost Creek Series, Book 1] by Marta Perry

Author's Book Description : An Amish Nanny

Caring for her late cousin’s young kinder is Jessie Miller’s duty—even if it means seeing their father again. Years ago, she thought Caleb King might be her husband—until he met her cousin and Jessie’s dream was cut short. Laid up with a broken leg and a demanding dairy farm, Caleb needs her. But Caleb wants no woman around...and no reminder of the wife who abandoned her family before her death. Especially since he fears Jessie will throw a wrench in his plan to remain a single dad. She’s gentle and kind, and if Caleb isn’t careful, she may be just what his little Amish family needs.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. An Amish woman (Jessie) tries to make amends for her younger cousin's "wrong doings" by assisting the family in their time of need. In doing so, she opens herself up to being hurt in the process. Will they all make it out okay?

A. G. Macdonald talks about #CancelCulture | Fangirling @AG_Macdonald

Watch this video! So well stated about Cancel Culture and the major drawbacks of it ... as well as "Book Twitter" in general. I usually, except with CockyGate and "book stuffing" last year, try to stay out of it ... or I hear what others have to say about a certain topic and, because they articulate it better than I ever could, I decide to support them here ... like I am doing with this post. I appreciated what A. G., from A. G. Macdonald, had to say in his video (below) and I'd love to hear what your thoughts on his take with this topic are too.

Idolizing In: Witches of Rose Lake Series, Book 1 | #BookReview @novelsbylia

Format Jess Read This Novel In: Kindle Edition
File Size: 2469 KB | Print Length: 134 Pages
Publication Date: July 25, 2017 | Publisher: After Glows Publishing
ASIN: B07HB6WHCK | ISBN-10: 1973748215 | Language: English
Main Genre(s): New Adult Romance, Paranormal Romance, Reverse Harem Romance | Jess Obtained This Book Through: Amazon


"Marked for Them" [Witches of Rose Lake Series, Book 1] by Lia Davis

Author's Book Description : Hiding out in a mental institution isn’t glamorous. But I call it surviving.

I’m blissfully unaware of the world outside thanks to the hospital’s walls—and spell—that hide me. Until a ghost shows up, talking about his friends being marked by a demon. But not just any demon. The same one who marked me and wants me dead.

My father.

Fearful that Daddy Dearest could be my next uninvited guess, I choose to follow the ghost to his four very alive friends. To my relief, they want Salrus dead just as much as I do. What I’m not prepared for is finding out that Zane—the alpha wolf shifter—is my mate, and the demon mark links the six of us—ghost included—together on a deeper level than I ever imagined.

Teaming up and preparing to face the demon stirs up passion and dark secrets none of us are really ready to face.

"Marked for Them" is the first in a hot new reverse harem, paranormal romance series, Witches of Rose Lake.

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars! All of Reese’s life she has been living in seclusion and on the run. She is half-demon after all. Than with her father trying to kill her staying hidden is necessary. But when a ghost finds her and brings her to men who might be able to help protect her, she finds the courage to take it upon herself to make a new future for them all. Now they just have to be sure to defeat their common enemy (her father) before he rips their lives apart even more...
