My Week In Review

Weekend In Review ~ October 14th-16th

I am linking up with the following blogs:

This meme is hosted by 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.

The Sunday Salon 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

My daughter and I went to the book outlet store & Barnes & Noble again this week, lol! I believe this is going to be a weekly outing for us. We not only look for books, we also go to lunch and just spend the day together. I did get an awful lot of book mail this week as well, most of those were from the book outlet. It was rather cold here all week, the sun was out at times which did help warm it up a bit. I did get myself a new bookcase on Thursday 🤣 If that wasn’t a trip putting together, wow wee! So how was your week?

I was lost in a fucking labyrinth of my father’s making, a maze of darkness I never knew existed, and I was all alone to navigate its treacherous turns in the pitch black. - Storm

Saving Storm by @darksmutauthor_kaseyr

Blurb:

Storm wants the truth, but only shadows answer her call. Her father’s death years before has left a wound that refuses to heal, and now, the raw, savage world of underground fighting beckons her back. Entangled once more, she finds herself captivated by the intoxicating pull of Aiden and Lycus, her twin
step-brothers whose allure is as dangerous as it is irresistible.Their smoldering gazes promise a liberation she never dreamed of, a possessiveness that both thrills and chills her to the core. Lycus, the ruthless fighter-an undercover savage-lives for the next knockout, while Aiden, the enigmatic strategist-who loves to watch-controls the game from the shadows. Bound together by unyielding darkness, they share a fierce, possessive obsession with Storm. But their loyalty is a twisted game, their love a volatile cocktail of desire and betrayal. As Storm descends into the fight club’s gritty underbelly, a maze of secrets, lies, and perilous alliances unfolds. The reality she thought she knew shatters, each punch, each whispered secret,
drawing her closer to the truth of her father’s death-but at what cost? In a world populated by captivating, tattooed bikers, broken noses and promises, and unforgiving secrets, will Storm find the answers she needs, or will she become another victim of the kind
of love that burns too intensely, an inferno fueled by secrets that threaten to burn them all to ash?
