Curly Carla’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• Glow: Book I, Potency by Aubrey Hadley from Ruby & Topaz Publishing — releases February 13th, 2019.  I got an email about this and it looked interesting.

Gifted/Won It (Christmas):

• Hush (Lush #2) by S.L. Baum. Lenore is the bestest blogging wife EVAH! She got this for me.
• The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass. I bought this for myself after Lenore bought me The Elite for a book exchange we participated in.  It was expensive but totes worth it.
• Fury Focused (Of Fates and Furies #2) by Melissa Haag.  Another gift to myself after I read the first one.
• Fury Freed (Of Fates and Furies #3) by Melissa Haag. Well….I had to finish the series.

Kindle Unlimited:

• Ruthless Magic (Conspiracy of Magic #1) by Megan Crewe.  I recently read the 5th Annual End of Year Survey on Mom with a Reading Problems’ blog and was amazed with the similarities in genres we shared.  So, I got this rec from her.
• Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa.  Another book I saw on MWARB blog. Great book so far BTW.

Got It On Sale:

• The Douglas Fir by Anyta Sunday.  She always has lots of sales and this is one I didn’t have so I got it for free. No longer free.

Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• On Thin Ice (Juniper Falls #3) by Julie Cross from Entangled: Teen (Entangled Publishing LLC) — releases February 26th, 2019.  I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, and was so excited to see there was a 3rd!

Preorders That Went Live:

• Going Down (Romance for all Seasons #4) by Sandra Marie — released January 1st, 2019.  I loved this one, see my review here.

Newsletter Freebies:

• We Own Tonight by Corinne Michaels — I’m still a member of the Taste of Romance group on Goodreads, and this is the free January read that they’ll be reading and discussing.  I remember reading some great reviews for this one, so I couldn’t resist.  Again, it’s not really a Newsletter Freebie, but you do end up signed up for Ms. Michaels’s newsletter in order to download your copy, so I counted it.

Audible Romance Package:

• Waiting on the Sidelines (Waiting on the Sidelines #1) by Ginger Scott, narrated by Laura Darrell — So, I had very mixed feelings when reading this book before (see my review here), but since I’m going to move on to book 2, I wanted to reread.  And heck, maybe a different format (listening to an audiobook), will help?
• Going Long (Waiting on the Sidelines #2) by Ginger Scott, narrated by Laura Darrell & James Fouhey — I might as well listen to this one instead of read as well.

Audiobooks:

• Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey, narrated by Teddy Hamilton & Luci Christian Bell — I have no idea what I was doing when I ran across this audiobook being out.  I haven’t yet read my Kindle copy, and when I saw Teddy Hamilton & Luci Christian (Bell) were the narrators, I squeeeed!  And then when I saw it had a Whispersync deal of $1.99, you couldn’t have stopped my one-click finger if you tried.
• Maid for Love (Gansett Island #1) by Marie Force, narrated by Holly Fielding — I was doing some prepping for the book signing events I’m attending this year, and theoretically Ms. Force will be attending Talkbooks Author Event near Boston in April 2019.  And since I haven’t read this one in YEARS, and have a bunch of Gansett Island books to catch up on, I figured I’d see if it was on ARP.  It wasn’t, but it had a Whispersync deal of $1.99, so I thought I’d give it a shot!
