The issues I was having started after Christmas, so nearly two full months later we are starting to get answers and treatment that is helping. The last two days I've felt super good, had tons of energy and so I've been cooking a ton, prepping meals for next week and getting on top of house chores. My reading slowed way down the last couple of weeks so I'm hoping I'll be in the mood to pick up the pace and knock some books out. Thanks so much for those who had kind comments when I was feeling bad....

All In (Full Tilt #2) By: Emma Scott Published: October 11, 2016 by Trillian 280 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Reeling from her loss, Kacey Dawson is grieving and heartbroken, her addictive demons hauling her back into the alcohol-soaked abyss she worked so hard to crawl out of. Kacey teeters on the edge of oblivion, and must fight her way through the pain, to build a new life for herself with her music, and somehow fulfill the promise she made to Jonah…one she feels is impossible to keep.

I'm having some health issues we are trying to figure out. My GP is playing guinea pig with me instead of giving me a referral that I asked for. I'm on day 10 of a medicine that he is having me take for 12 days. And I can't be off of this stuff fast enough! It's affecting my mood swings and irritability in a BIG way! Did I mention hunger? HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!! And it hasn't helped...

*ARC* By Your Side - Review

Image
By Your Side By: Kasie West Published: February 14, 2017 by HarperTeen 352 pages Source: Edelweiss ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn’t think things could get any worse. But that’s before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her. Autumn doesn’t know much about Dax except that he’s trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he’s not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her. Only he doesn’t come. No one does. Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothi...

Tucker Buy Link: Amazon RECAP OF WEEK: SUNDAY: Sunday Post #204 THURSDAY: ARC Thursday Review - Full Tilt #1 by Emma Scott (4.5 stars) A normal, routine week. Finished one book and am plugging through another, though I made good progress over the weekend. Celebrated my mother-n-law's birthday Friday night with all the family. Saturday I had a girls afternoon with my daughter and her bestie. I took them to get their nails painted by their request (and their money - haha), out to do a little shopping, to eat a late lunch and then to see the movie The Space Between Us. Was that a book first? It was cute, but a bit slow in parts. I would rate the movie 3 stars (out of 5). It was sweet in moments ...

Full Tilt #1 By: Emma Scott Published: June 28, 2016 by Trillian 292 pages Source: ebook, Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: "I would love you forever, if I only had the chance..."  Kacey Dawson has always lived life on the edge--impulsively, sometimes recklessly. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. But she is torn between wanting to be a serious musician, and the demons that lure her down the glittering, but alcohol-soaked path of rock stardom. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. She wakes up with the hangover from hell and no memory of the night before, or how she ended up on her limo driver’s couch...  Jonah Fletcher is running out of time. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he's vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. His plans include seeing the opening of his glass installation at a pre...
