I am linking up with the following blogs:

This meme is hosted by Marlene over at Reading Reality every Saturday. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you add to your shelves, whether physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and, of course, eBooks!  And audiobooks. Don’t forget audiobooks! In other words, if you can read it or if it can be read to you – no matter how you got it – it belongs in Stacking the Shelves.

This is a Facebook group that has become an informal week-in-review gathering place for bloggers. The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. Plus, it’s a great way to visit other blogs and join conversations. You can also link up on Sundays on Readerbuzz.

Life In General

It has still been too cold here for me to venture out anywhere. I did manage to get our little tree up, I still have some bulbs to put on. My two oldest grandkids and my daughter stopped by Thursday night with some silver bulbs for it, so I need to get those on. I have laundry to catch up on because seriously I haven’t been doing anything 😲 I did manage to get an article written about book bloggers and the holidays, so I suppose I did get one big thing done. So, how was your week😊

I'm on Instagram
On All Hallows’ Eve, she betrayed her family for her father’s enemy… and now she’s marked, branded, and turned into a prisoner—by men who think fear will break her.
But the moment she’s claimed, escape is the last thing she wants.

Each night, she gets a little freer… until they decide to trade her like a pawn to end their war.
So she runs—knowing she shattered her own heart to save it.

If you love dark romance, obsession, captivity-to-devotion vibes, and a “can’t hate them” twist, read this. 🖤🩸

Two sides. Two cages. One mistake that becomes an obsession.
Holden was literally trained to hunt—until the man he thinks he’s pursuing walks straight into her trap.
Hollis is a cop with a missing boyfriend and no patience for “process”—and the more she fights, the more she realizes she’s being dismantled to create something new.
Ruthless chase. Power games. And love that might be survival—or the final lock.

Cry Baby from S.K. Pryntz @sk_pryntzauthor will be releasing on July 30th!
