Futuristic Friday: Find Your New Reads {January- March 2016}

futuristic friday

Oh wow! It’s time for another Futuristic Friday! We have been making our lists and have found some great sounding books that we are excited to read!

For long time fans of Futuristic Friday- 2016 is going to be a shake-up of the feature. We’re including a link-up where you can share books you are excited to read (you know, just in case we missed a few or if you want to echo our thoughts 🙂

And, even more of a shake-up: GIVEAWAYS are happening. Yep. We made our lists, and then took to the email where we presented authors and publicists with finely crafted emails outlining what Futuristic Friday was, how X book was chosen, and how we would love a giveaway. And, you know how if you build it, they will come- if you ask for it, you will (more than likely) get it! So *snaps* to the publicists and authors that played a role in us being able to offer 16 books (at current time- though, there may be one or 2 more- still waiting on final confirmation!) Be sure and check out Traveling With T and Doing Dewey- we’ll be hosting our own giveaways and will be sharing the ones that we are giving away via social media 🙂 But, allow me to be a bookish tease- it’s going to be a good 3 months for giveaways!

On to the books! Continue reading →

Happy New Year!

I’m a day late with this post- sorry! I’ll save you from the graphic details- but: Stomach Flu-1, T-0. Enough said.

Be sure and check out Tanya‘s and Andi‘s posts!

Today’s prompt:

Weekly Book Discussion {how do you pick your next read – what do you do after you’re finished reading a book}

How Do I Pick My Next Book?

Before I became a book blogger, I had my year of books to read marked- Janet Evanovich would publish over the summer, Sue Grafton’s backlist was keeping me busy, my cozy mystery authors were pretty spread out- and that left me time for investigating other reads. Continue reading →

This book was sent to Traveling With T for review consideration.

Some Kind of Wonderful

Summary from Goodreads:

USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan will sweep you away with her Puffin Island series! In a town where anything can happen, sometimes love can be found in the most unlikely place of all…

Her whole life, Puffin Islander Brittany Forrest has dreamed of adventure. And at the age of eighteen, she thought she’d found it in bad boy Zachary Flynn. But after just ten tempestuous, smoldering days, their whirlwind marriage went up in smoke, and Brittany resolved to put him out of her mind forever.

Zach knows he let Brittany down, but being back on Puffin Island and seeing Brittany again stirs up long-buried emotions. This daredevil pilot has never felt worthy of her, yet he can’t stay away—even when he knows the chemistry between them will only complicate his life.

As long, hot summer days on the beach dissolve into sultry, starry nights, Brittany and Zach find that the sparks between them are more powerful than ever. Could it be that the second time around, their dreams of a happy-ever-after will finally come true?

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Having absolutely enjoyed the heck outta my first exposure to Sarah Morgan in her O’Neill brothers series- when I first heard about Puffin Island- I was unsure. Could I love another series like I did the first one? Continue reading →
