Free Books - Anne Mercier Rockstar Series

Who doesn't like free books? Anne Mercier is one of the reasons I started looking into independent authors and she is the reason I fell in love with Avenged Sevenfold.

For 5 days only, July 8-12, she is offering six of her Rockstar series books for free on Amazon. 

These are all short stories set in the middle of the series, but will give you a glimpse into the Rockstar family.

Power Play - Alley Ciz

Lucky Alley gets to be my first review. She is absolutely the sweetest person. Catch up with her on her Facebook Author page and her Reader Group

Power Play is Alley's first release, but you wouldn't know it.


My review:

Wow. Alley Ciz scores a goal with this debut story. It's been awhile since a book has pulled me in so quickly that I just didn't want to put it down.

Jake and Jordan feel the connection from day one, but Jordan's past with one of her brothers' teammates and the promise she made them keeps her from completely letting go. Jake isn't deterred and is bound to figure out how to make this work. No spoilers, but a lot plays into their relationship. This book has it all. Best friends (both old and new), sports, crazy exes, and bitter puck bunnies. 

I fell in love with this great group of characters from BTU and you will too. I cannot wait for Tap Out, the next book in the series.


If you decide to read this, let me know what you think. And if you really enjoy it, leave a review for Alley on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or Bookbub.

A Blog Rebrand

I've been thinking of doing a rebrand (of sorts) for the longest time and now seems like just as good of a time as any. It's time to change a few things around to match what is taking up most of my time lately.

There will still be Scrapbooking and Crochet posts. (Can it be "still" if it's been so long since I posted?). The biggest change will be the showcase of books and my love for reading. Over the last couple of years, I've rediscovered my love for reading, but also, through Kindle Unlimited and Facebook Groups, I've found the love of independent authors. These authors have become my favorite because of how they interact with their readers. Reader groups on Facebook allow the greatest interaction (and a great way to make new friends who love what you do).

I have added links on the right side of this page to the Facebook author pages of some of my favorites. The ones with stars (*) are ones that I"m lucky enough to be on their ARC teams. What is an ARC? It's an Advance Reader (or Review) Copy. Basically, an author will give an early copy of their books so they start off release day with reviews. Reviews and sales are key to how well a book performs.

So stay tuned for the first of my reviews within a day or so.

Some of the books that are released that I have on my short-term to read list. These are ones that are already released that I want to read soon.

Tangle - Adriana Locke
Kickin' It - Rachel Van Dyken
The Marriage Effect - Karla Sorensen
Mr. Mistake - Karice Bolton
A Surprising Fact About Love - Karice Bolton
Second Glances series - Nancy Herkness
Southern Player - Jessica Peterson

And these are on my TBR (to be read) list that are releasing soon-ish.

The Wonder of Now - Jamie Beck
Say It Again - Catherine Bybee
Southern Gentleman - Jessica Peterson
Refrain - Anne Mecier
Play Dirty - Cari Quinn/Taryn Elliot
Running After a Heartbreaker - Jami Albright
Love Me Tomorrow - Maria Luis
Tap Out - Alley Ciz

Have a great day!!!
