Welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up. I has been a few months since my last update, actually. My family and I went on a fabulous vacation for six weeks during July and August. And since I’ve been back I’ve been trying to catch up with reviews, ARC due dates, blog visits, and figuring out where what stands, among other things.

Our vacation took us to Rome, with a day visit to Florence, then a cruise with extended family in the Mediterranean, South Africa to visit more family, and Paris. It was amazing, mind-blowing and definitely memorable. Here are some pictures of the places we’ve seen.

I managed to read a whole bunch of books while we were away, but I am woefully behind in writing the reviews. I’m slowly getting there.

Tell me more about your July/August summer (or winter).

DONE AND DUSTED

For roughly the last two weeks, I posted one new review and one quickie review post.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hot rugby players, a sassy babysitter/assistant, intense chemistry and pointed banter hiding two hurt hearts, what’s not to love?

Read My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A relationship born amid an investigation is a fragile thing. Will it survive the danger and the threats? Will it survive the truth?

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christian Osprey prefers the wilderness to the company of people. Amka Pinga has spent her life being strong for everyone else, even as her own life unravels. When Amka becomes a target, Christian will stop at nothing to protect her.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ An action-packed romcom featuring the reclusive final member of the boy band Bro Code, a recovering good girl with too many men interested in her for all the wrong reasons, a treasure hunt, and a fake engagement.

QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

From Road Trip With a Rogue by Kate Bateman: Daisy sighed. “I thought it would work in the same way as those inoculations invented by Dr. Jenner. If I deliberately infected myself with a small dose of the disease – Vaugh, in this case – I’d be able to fight off a much more serious case in the future. But I was wrong. I didn’t make myself immune. All I did was give myself a full-blown case of him. He’s all I can think about.”

The Love Fix by Jill Shalvis: Lexi had never understood how someone could sleep through a crisis. When did they do all of their panicking and overthinking?
