Jessica Sims definitely has cheeky and entertaining books.

I am glad you are enjoying the picks

Karen...I just finished Still Life...a debut novel...mystery. I really did like it ★★★★. Not much romance, but a nice shift from what I normally read. Reading The Stocking was Hung next.

Hi Jojo!

I had such a busy December, and I was sick for a lot of it, lol, so I didn't get as much reading done as I would have liked to. I did manage to read one of your picks, Bewitched. It was very cute :)
I received The Two Gentlemen of Altona, one of your new picks for me, as a secret santa gift, , and I will definitely get to it soon!
Thanks again for the great recommendations!

Hey Rebecca,
I finished 2 of your picks this month: Idol and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Both were great, especially A Court of Thorns and Roses. Thank you so much for suggesting them!

[Pam]

Hi Fran-
I finished Shopping for a Billionaire in December. I didn't love it but that may have been more reflective of what was going on in December. It was short, quick and had promise though. I think I just didn't love Declan. Thanks for all the recommendations though. There are some I still hope to get to in my reading life.

I finished and I loved it. I was crying so much that I couldn't continue the ending so I gave myself a few hours breather and then came back to it late that night and finished it. Still in tears but loved it. I'm such a sap :)

I read the 2nd book before I read this one and noticed after I was done that I went backwards so I'll need to read the next one so I'll feel better. LOL. But I'll have to get Night Road as well, thanks Ezi :)

I'm so glad you got some good reads! It Ends With Us was probably one of my absolute favorites of 2016, so I'm so happy you loved it!

I hope you will enjoy Paper Princess. I had some problems with it, but I seriously could not put it down. I read the whole book in one sitting.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

More and more addicted all the time! I don't just listen in the car, that is just when it started for me. Now I listen around the house, in the grocery store, while I'm working out...

Hey Pamela I don't think I ever got a chance to come back and say thank you for my picks. I only got to Santa Baby ★★★★½ this month with all of the end of year books I needed to squeeze in, but I've added a bunch to my TBR and plan to get to a few more soon. :)
