Lenoreo’s Haul
(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)
ARCs From Authors/PR Companies:
- Over the Falls (Ryder Bay #1) by Jordan Ford — releases January 2019. I beta read this one, but apparently there were a few changes, so I think I need to read the final copy before release!
New Releases:
- Hoops Holiday (Hoops #0.5) by Kennedy Ryan — released December 16th, 2018. I read an ARC of this one and LOVED it (see my review here), and since it was on a release sale of 99 cents, I snapped it up! No longer on sale.
- Diced by Ginger Scott — released December 20th, 2018. This was a surprise release! Apparently it was a short story that was previously in an anthology (and one I didn’t own), but it has been expanded. And a NYE book too, so seems timely!
Gifted/Won It (Secret Santa):
Cassie Mae’s Awesome Nerds group had their Secret Santa, and these are the two goodies that I got from my Santa, Beth!
- What Happens at Con (Fandom Hearts #4) by Cathy Yardley — I’ve LOVED this series, and just need to read this one and one other novella to get caught up on the series! So excited!
- #Vacay (Hashtag #7.5; BearPaw Resort #4.5) by Cambria Hebert — I still need to read the BearPaw Resort series, and probably first, but I was so excited for more Hashtag series goodness!!
Audiobooks:
- What Happens at Con (Fandom Hearts #4) by Cathy Yardley, narrated by Jay Skelton & Serena St. Clair — The Whispersync add-on was just $1.99, and you can add it on even to gifts, so I did!
Got It On Sale:
- The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal (The Gallaghers of Montana #3) by Eve Gaddy — This one was Katie @Just Another Girl and Her Books‘s fault, I saw it on her last week’s StS, and it’s still free (usually $3.99 I think).
- Third Degree by Julie Cross — I’ve enjoyed some books by Ms. Cross, and this one made it on to my wishlist at some point. So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $3.99, I one-clicked. Still on sale!
- The Real Deal by Lauren Blakely — I remember when this one came out this summer, and it just sounded like my kinda book, so I wishlisted it. So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $7.99, I jumped on it! Still on sale!
- What Happens at Christmas by Jay Northcote — I don’t remember how this one got on my radar, but it was on my wishlist. So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $2.99, I snagged it! Still on sale!
- Tattered (Lark Cove #1) by Devney Perry — I’ve seen quite a few people talking about Ms. Perry, and so when I saw this one on BookBub for free from its usual $3.99, I figured I’d give it a try! Still free!
I’m really interested to hear what you think about The Elite and Diced. I hadn’t read Diced, but now I have! I also scored Tattered, too.
I’m halfway done with The Elite already and love it!
That’s great! I hate to admit that I DNF it at page 43. 🙁
I have a beta read to do, but if I can get through it quickly I’m hoping to read Diced for New Year’s! Did you enjoy it? I heard mixed things about the original…
I did! It was short and sweet, but I thought I could connect well enough to the characters. I know she added some more to it.
Unrelated, but… You’ve read the Waiting on the Sidelines series right? I just finished an ARC of The Hail Mary. Oh my goodness. I loved it so much. It makes me want to go back and re-read all of the Ginger Scott books that made me fall in love with her writing.
I didn’t download the ARC b/c I didn’t like the first book! And I haven’t read the 2nd one yet. I can’t remember what hit my buttons, but something did. I’m tempted to just try the 2nd book anyways, but I think I remember reading reviews and the issues I had still existed. I should go reread my review. But I’m SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT! I remember that being a fave book of hers for you, so I was hoping it would live up to your expectations!
It might be worth reading the second book so you can read the third. I LOVED the third. They’re adults and it’s like 15 years in the future.
GAH!! STOP TEMPTING ME! *sigh* I really am tempted. Damnit Deanna!
I’m so glad you liked the Fandom Hearts series.
Dude, I FLOVE that series!!! I don’t know why I waited so long to start it, it’s so me!!
