NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• Breaking the Ice (Juniper Falls #2) by Julie Cross from Entangled: Teen (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases December 26th, 2017.  I read the first book in this series and thoroughly enjoyed it (see my review for Off the Ice), so I was excited to see book 2!
• Nikan Rebuilt (Preload #3) by Scarlett Cole from Swerve (St. Martin’s Press) — releases January 2nd, 2018.  I LOVED the first book in this series (see my review for Jordan Reclaimed), and while I still have to read book 2, I couldn’t resist requesting this one.
• The Way Back to Us (Love Unplugged #3) by Jamie Howard from Swerve (St. Martin’s Press) — releases December 12th, 2017.  I recently read the second book in this series and LOVED it (see my review for The Feeling of Forever), so I had to request this one!
• Seduction on the Slopes (Snow & Ice Games #2) by Tamsen Parker from Swerve (St. Martin’s Press) — releases January 16th, 2018.  I recently read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it (see my review for Love on the Tracks), so I had to request the next one.  It’s making me excited for the Olympics!

Preorders That Went Live:

• A Bride for Sam (Red Maple Falls #5.5) by Theresa Paolo — released December 6th, 2017.  As I’ve said, I’m collecting this series.  I probably won’t get to this Christmas read this year as I haven’t read Hung Up on Hadley yet, but it’s only 99 cents so it was a no-brainer!
• Behind the Bars by Brittainy C. Cherry — released December 7th, 2017.  I’ve only read one book by Ms. Cherry, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  And this one looks FANTASTIC.  So when I saw it was on a pre-order sale for 99 cents, I squeeed and one-clicked!

Jingle Bell Book Exchange:

The Jingle Bell Book Exchange is on its third year and is a group of readers who post their Christmas wishlists and then other readers buy books for them!  The rule is that you have to purchase at least 1 book for someone else.  They can be Kindle books or Paperbacks/Hardcovers.  I love this, b/c you get to give and receive!  I love making someone else’s day!  And I love scoring some highly coveted books!  I had some problems this year with Amazon not wanting to give me the books b/c I’m in Canada, but I was mostly able to exchange for credit and then buy the books myself.  Amazon be cray-cray.

• Bad Romeo (Starcrossed #1) by Leisa Rayven from Victoria!!  This author is going to be at Book Bonanza, and I’m so excited to read this series that has been recommended to me by so many!
• Honesty by Seth King from Kristina!!  Another author going to be at Book Bonanza, and I think this book has been recommended by some favourite authors.
• Mister Romance (Masters of Love #1) by Leisa Rayven also from Kristina, who is so generous!!  This one looks so good, I’m very excited to read it!

Newsletter Freebies:

• Beneath This Mask (Beneath #1) by Meghan March — I originally got this as a Newsletter Freebie from Sarina Bowen’s newsletter.  But I see that it’s free on Amazon, so I just one-clicked so that when I review, it will say verified purchase.  I believe this is another author who will be at Book Bonanza.

Got It On Sale:

• Stay (WAGs #2) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy — I read an ARC of this book and LOVED it (see my review here).  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this book was on sale for $1.49 from its usual $4.99 I snatched it up!  No longer on sale.
• Bad Romeo Christmas (Starcrossed) by Leisa Rayven — I haven’t even started this series yet, but I’m trusting the people who’ve recommended this to me and wishlisted the whole series.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this book was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $3.99 I snatched it up!  Still on sale!
• Christmas at the Castle (Ever After #3) by Melissa McClone — I’ve had the NetGalley ARC of this one, and as I started reading it, I noticed it on My Book Cave for free from its usual $3.99, so I snagged it!  Still free!  See my review here.
• Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry — I read this one a long time ago, and actually have an ebook copy from the Harlequin website, but when I saw it on BookBub for 99 cents from its usual $2.99, I snagged the Kindle copy.  Sale is over.
• Chasing Christmas Eve (Heartbreaker Bay #4) by Jill Shalvis — So this author is going to be at Apollycon in March, and I was reading The Trouble with Mistletoe and thoroughly enjoying it (see my review here).  So I ended up checking the other books in the series out to maybe put some on my wishlists.  And I noticed that this one was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $6.99, so I snagged it!  Still on sale!
• One Snowy Night (Heartbreaker Bay #2.5) by Jill Shalvis — Samesies for this one, just 99 cents from its usual $1.99 in this case.  Also still on sale!
• Hidden Truths (Boots #1) by Megan Erickson — So this book was shared in chapters on Ms. Erickson’s newsletter as it was written, and while I didn’t read it at the time, I did sample the first chapter and was intrigued.  So when it was finished, and she released it for a special release sale of 99 cents, I snagged it!  Still on sale!
• Billionaire Bad Boys Box Set (Billionaire Bad Boys #1-3.5) by Max Monroe — I saw this series raved about on one of the new blogs I follow, A Novel Glimpse.  So when BookBub told me I could get 6 books for just $4.99 from its apparent regular price of $30.45 (or $23.95 as I learned later when Deanna @A Novel Glimpse also shared the sale), I said score!  Especially since this author will be at Book Bonanza!
