Week One's Wrap Up

Week Two's Wrap Up:

For Week Three (even though I didn't record a video) here are the books I knocked off the list and the pile: I completed Quade's Babies by Brenda Jackson; Riveted by Jay Crownover which is an ebook and an ARC, and Talk Cowboy To Me by Carolyn Brown which was on my week one Ebook's TBR list.

With what was happening in the US on January 20th I just didn't feel the need to read. I was depressed and needed to get lost in something else so I watched some tv and caught up on my favorite shows.    Then week 4 rolled around and I wanted to indulge in books again so I finished the following: The Breed Next Door by Lora Leigh;  Soul Deep also by Lora Leigh.   I finally completed this week by finishing up a book I had been reading for a while  The Goddess Legacy by Aimee Carter these are stories in between all the other books and I think if I had read this before I finished the series I would have gone in feeling a little bit differently about some of the characters.  I still loved the series and can't wait to share my thoughts on all the novels.
