I am spending today at the Missouri All-State Band auditions. It is a two-hour drive each way and the even will last most of the day. Last year, I was able to use the wifi at the event so I hope to use my time waiting to get caught up with all of the comments that I missed this week.
Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis (For Review)
Montana Creeds: Dylan by Linda Lael Miller (Kindle Purchase)
Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen (Kindle Purchase)
Inseverable by Cecy Robson (For Review)
Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews (Audible Purchase)
Storm Glass by Jeff Wheeler (Audible Purchase)
Just Do It by Donald Katz (Audible Purchase)
The Year We Hid Away by Sarina Bowen (Audible Purchase)
The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen (Audible Purchase)
Louisiana Longshot by Jana DeLeon (Audible Purchase)
This is not as bad as it looks. Really, it’s not! There are only 2 review books and most of the other books were either free or extremely inexpensive.
I love Jill Shalvis so I was really excited to get a copy of Playing for Keeps to review. I picked up a couple of kindle books on sale this week. Montana Creeds: Dylan was on sale for $2.99 and Goodbye Paradise was only $0.99. I jumped on the chance to review Inseverable since I loved the last audiobook that I listened to by this author. I received a weird email from Audible that gifted me a credit. I am not sure how that happened but I am not complaining about it. I decided to use in on Magic Triumphs because I know I will be listening to this book as a re-read. When I saw that Storm Glass and Just Do It were free I added them to my Audible library right away. I received a $5 coupon from Audible as a reward for buying 4 books during their last sale so I used it to purchase The Year We Hid Away, The Year We Fell Down, and Louisiana Longshot and only had to pay $0.97 after using the coupon.
That sounds like such a tiring week Carole! I hope you get a bit of rest on Sunday. I just couldn't manage that schedule. I'm tired enough on a normal day! I hope you managed to get some good reading in!
I am barely keeping up most days 🙂
That's definitely a busy week! And I don't think you're a mean mom for not letting her drive herself downtown. I'm an adult and I HATE IT! I hate going down there and basically avoid it if at all possible. Like I stopped applying for jobs that sounded halfway decent because I didn't want to drive down there in that mess! So I think you're a very good mom for taking her! 😉
Nice new reads too! Quite a few new to me ones but a few are familiar. I hope you enjoy them all and good luck at today's event!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Even if I was okay with her driving down there, I am not sure that I want her trying to park our truck 🙂
Yes Audible did have some great sales this past week and hope you enjoy these books.
I have a hard time passing up an Audible sale.
Wow, that is an exhausting amount of driving. You’re a great mom for putting up with all of that! Have a great week.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
It was a whole lot of driving, AJ!
Wow that does sounds busy, busy, busy!! Oh and lots of new books. I love Jill Shalvis too . Enjoy them and have a great week!
Too busy!
Congrats on your daughter's award and it must be reassuring to feel good about her potential college.
On the 'wrong shoes' thing, that reminded me of The True Picture by Alison Habens. Have you read it? ( http://litflits.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-true-picture-by-alison-habens.html )
Thank you!
Yowsers! You're due for a quiet week now. 🙂 Love the stack of review and sales books. Congrats to your daughter on her award. Poor you for the blisters.
Have a restful week! 🙂
Thankfully, it has been a much quieter week so far.
Yay for awards! Booo for blisters
Blisters are no fun!
Wow! You are super busy. I remember having to schlep my daughter and her portfolio all over for her review. I hope your daughter did awesome! You have the new Heartbreaker Bay book. I am super jealous. I am falling behind on the series too, because I cannot get approved for those books and my eLibrary hasn't been getting them. Hope you love it!
I signed up for the blog tour for the new Shalvis book so that made it easier to get my hands on a copy. It is always disappointing when the library doesn't have the books you want to read. Can you request that they make a purchase?
I snagged Goodbye Paradise too, couldnt pass up the 99 pennies! You got quite a few good looking reads this week. Happy reading!
It was definitely a great deal!
Wow! You sure had a lot of books! Hope you enjoy all your reads!

I went a little crazy this week!
Some great things for you! Happy reading!
Thank you!
So much going on this week. Hopefully the blisters heal soon.
My feet are much better, Mary!
You've done a lot of road tripping lately!
Yes, I did my recent Kate Daniels re-read lately via mostly audio. I'm sure I'll also be purchasing this one eventually.
Thanks for sharing!
I grabbed the new Kate Daniels book just as soon as I received the free credit. It is a great series to re-read.
Oh I hate it when I have uncomfortable shoes on a long outing! Sounds like a busy week, Carole!
I re-read Magic Triumphs by audio, too, while on a long road-trip with my husband. It was great the 2nd time around, I love Renee Raudman's narration. She is Kate Daniels to me. Hope you love it again, too! 🙂
Thanks, Rachel!
Busy, busy!! I hope you are able to relax a bit.
I am working on it!
You did have a busy week. I hope this week is less crazy. I've been having a hard time commenting too. Congrats on your daughter's awards.

Too busy for my tastes but I made it through.
You've been so busy! I need to read more by Jill Shalvis!
I am really loving this Shalvis series.
You have been busy ( to say the least!) — and with your books to read, again you're going to be soo busy! Where do you have the time to do everything?!
I don't get everything done in a lot of cases. I just do what I can and try not to worry about it.
Your poor feet. I hate it when things like that with shoes happen. Looks like you have some good books to read while you kick back with your feet up!
I did a lot more walking that I had planned on but my feet are much better now.
Woosh. That's a lot of driving/car time in a week. Hopefully this will be a little less eventful.
8 hours in 2 days spent in the car. It has been a much quieter week so far.
Wow, I'm tired just reading of your busy week. 🙂

Tell me about it.
Oh no blisters! That sucks. My mom wouldn't allow me to go downtown by myself either which I'm just fine with her driving me. I'm pretty terrified of getting lost downtown.
I got a couple of library books I want to read this month: To Kill a Kingdom and Save the Date.
I would hate for anything to happen to her so I will keep being the mean mom.
I'm always getting blisters. They are the worst! Have you ever heard of mole skin? You cut it to fit where you want it to go and it can cover areas on your feet that might otherwise get blisters. It helps pretty well!
I really want to read Goodbye Paradise. That's awesome it was on sale!

These blisters were on the bottom of my feet. Kind of strange. I have had these shoes forever and wear them all the time so I was kind of surprised by the whole situation.
So many music related events and occassions to keep you busy this week. I am always impressed with how much you manage to do in a week and still keep reading throughout it all as well. Also, so many audiobooks!! You're going to have a lot of fun listening to these new reads.
I loooooooooove the cover of Storm Glass. ?✨
The Nike book sounds interesting. ?
