How did I choose just 10? Well… these were the ones that gave us blurb jolts, or that one or many of us raved over, right here on the blog (or on my Facebook page).
That said, there are 31 books on sale so here is the entire list for you to peruse.
Without further ado, here are the ones I’m extra excited about:
Michele G: I also loved TJR’s Malibu Rising…I highly recommend it…but don’t expect a romance. It’s just all around great story-telling.
Tasha J: Malibu Rising …yep, loved
Kim: If He Had Been with Me…OMG….I read this for the publisher way back in my blogging days…..yes I sobbed but it’s worth it…I adored that book.
Amy: Speaking of traumatic teen reads, did you ever read If He Had Been With Me? Oh, my freaking heart. It spans over the four years of high school, but the pacing is absolutely perfect and never felt too fast or too slow. It never dragged, at least not for me because it felt like there was always something interesting going on. I became so wrapped up in the story that I naively convinced myself what was most likely going to happen wouldn’t actually happen. Then BAM…I got my a$$ handed to me.
Milissa: I read if he had been with me. Oh how I loved it
Cristina: I finished Reminders of Him yesterday afternoon and when I closed the book, all I could say was WOW (with tears coming down my cheeks)!! This book is absolutely incredible! 5 HUGE stars for me!…
Although this book deals with a different topic than It Ends With Us, it reminded me of it because it had me so deep in my feels. It’s heartbreaking and gut wrenching and just beautiful. It deals with some really heavy stuff like It Ends With Us and Colleen just pens it to paper in a way that even if you’ve never experienced it personally, you will still feel it… deeply.
As a Mother and wife, I can relate to Kenna and Grace and my heart shattered to pieces for these two. It’s about the power of grief, guilt and forgiveness. It’s also about perception and second chances. I really just can’t say enough great things about it. When I finally learned what happened that tragic night, I choked up with tears and had to take a break. I was so heartbroken for all of them. And those last couple of chapters? Make sure you have a box of tissues. You’re going to need them.
“Sometimes I wonder what Scotty would think if he could see us. It makes me hope that an afterlife doesn’t exist, because if it does, Scotty is probably the only sad person in heaven. “
Allison: It was SOOOOO GOOD!
Michele G: really liked it. It felt like “old school” Colleen Hoover to me.
Tasha J: I finished another 5⭐️- Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan. ALL the feels! I know I read another review here not long ago, and I can’t remember who, but I’ve heard nothing but great things with this one, and it totally lived up to my expectations too.
Tasha J: I’m watching Normal People on Hulu. Quietly good. Like, it doesn’t just jump out at you, but I like where it’s heading. I saw it’s based on a book some of you have read. Should I be prepared?
Chitwan: Today I come with a tv show recommendation that I think all of you will love!
Normal People just came out on Hulu and is based on the book Normal People by Sally Rooney. The book itself was amazing but this tv adaptation is just out of this world. Never seen just a perfect adaptation of anything on the screen, it is so true to its source material. It’s a romance angsty genre with plenty of sexy time 😉 The acting by the leads is superb and you can’t help but binge-watch the show in one sitting!Maryse: I want to watch Normal People ’cause everyone is so in love with it but supposedly it will tear my heart out. YIKES!! DO I DARE???????
Have you read this one yet? It sounds like scary fun!!
Tasha J: Oh. My. God. I just finished We Were Liars. Its just awful! SO so good, but just awful! My throats all tight and my eyes are all watery and I did even see something coming and I still got punched!!!
Lisa: A dark twisted cross between Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and F Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby. Tragic and beautiful. Loved it! A very good reminder of why I should read more YA fiction.
Ann: Yes! “We Were Liars” made someone’s list! That was my ugly cry book of 2016. Like you, Lisa, I tend to stay clear of the “hurty” books. But once in a while I let one thorough, and damn if it WWL didn’t kill me. There I was cruising along, enjoying a nice little YA read, until BAM! Biggest twist ever.
I cried.
Like a child.
Jackie: The Guncle by Steven Rowely has two hilarious kids. The uncle, GUP (short for Gay Uncle Patrick) is cut from the same cloth as Jeff Lewis (from Flipping Out) and these two kids are the perfect foil for his level of snarkiness. Definitely recommend this book.
Kathy: The book is about a former sit com star Patrick (or Gay Uncle Patrick) as his niece and nephew call him who after the loss of his sister in law, takes his niece and nephew with him to Palm Springs so that his brother can start to get his life on track. This book had everything from tears to laughs.
“…Seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget, and seven days to get it all back again…
Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer who is feeling pressed from all sides. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning novelist, who, to everyone’s surprise, shows up in New York.
When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that fifteen years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. While they may be pretending not to know each other, they can’t deny their chemistry—or the fact that they’ve been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years…”
“…She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes…”
