Real life gets in the way...

Real life got in the way this week. I was sick, my very good friend had to put her dog to sleep. Her sheltie has been coming over here to play with my guys since they were puppies so it was like losing one of my own. And Fonzi decided to eat a bouquet of flowers which sent us to the ER to induce vomiting – he’s still a little queasy but I caught him in the act and got him to the vet in time!

So my planned reviews and Friday Fast 5 aren’t happening this week but I wanted to mention a few great books I read (I’m still planning on reviewing them!) and a cover reveal.

Read and LOVED!



Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios ~ Goodreads Gut wrenching and brutally honest portrayal of an abusive relationship. A MUST READ.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenizie Lee ~ Goodreads Vice! Virtue! Romance! Adventure! This book was a lot of fun and touches on a lot of topics, such as racism, sexism, homosexuality during the 18th century, in a really great way.

Cover reveal:

I beta read an early version of this and loved it. It’s wild, unconventional and I totally fell in love with a ship. A SHIP. lol Nadim – a sentient ship that hosts a revolving team of humans to explore the universe – was a fascinating character!



Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre ~ Goodreads

Zara Cole has been in and out of New Detroit’s rehab facilities for treatment of her antisocial disorder. There’s no adjusting Zara’s attitude, though. A painful past has made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in the Zone instead moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn’t much better than a prison cell.

Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she’s headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan–a race of sentient alien ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers.

Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth’s dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she’s assigned to along with fellow Honor Beatriz, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time, along with a devotion she’s never experienced before. Yet nothing—not her Honors training or her street smarts—could have prepared her for the dark, dangerous truths that lurk behind the glitter of starlight.


Honor Among Thieves is the first book in a daring new sci-fi series by bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre.

And this is why you shouldn’t be a panster blogger kids lol One thing goes wrong and you’ve got nothing. Ha!

Public service message from Fonzi:  don't eat flowers or you'll get sick, the parent's will panic and they'll bring you to the vet to make you vomit. *sad puppy face*
