Girls At The Bookstore

t’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date I have been doing this hop for a few years by myself, but I decided the rest of the girls are going to join in, so there will be three of us from now on sharing our books. TEE.... I have been having a good reading month. My mother has moved in with us after being put in hospice, so I have been hitting the audio books reguarly, and they go fast; however, without them I would not be reading, so I am very thankful for them at this moment. This is what I read this past week..... THE GUNCLE BY STEVEN ROWLEY I bought this book when it was first released in 2021, and it has sat on my shelf since. With all the people moving in, things needed cleaning out, and I have started reading off my shelf a bit...

Welcome to our second stop on  The Dark Lord’s Guide to Dating (and Other War Crimes)  readalong! We’ve made it through 38 chapters, and now it’s time to chat once again. Whether you’ve been highlighting favorite lines ( I have been ), laughing out loud, or simply trying to figure out what on earth is happening, we would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to answer the discussion questions below, but don’t feel limited by them. Tell us what surprised you, what made you laugh, who you’re rooting for, or what theories you’re already forming. Did a particular scene stand out? Is there a character you’re loving (or loving to be annoyed by)? And if you’re reading along later in the month, don’t be shy about jumping into the conversation. You can reply to someone’s comment, share your own thoughts, or answer any of the questions that catch your eye. Most importantly, keep it fun. There are no wrong answers here—just book lovers talking books. Happy discussing! This week's discus...

GOODREADS SUMMARY: Lucian “Luke” Teivel isn’t just any exile—he’s Lucifer’s son, freshly banished from Hell with no forwarding address and zero explanation. Now he’s stuck in the human world, paying cosmic penance by working for Infernal Affairs, a secret task force that polices supernatural crime and decides whether the guilty belong in prison…or back in the Pit. Luke’s doing his best to blend in and not burn his petty annoyances when a new partner storms into his life: Detective Sorcha O’Malley. She’s sharp, stubborn, suspicious—and assigned to keep him from indulging in his more demonic tendencies. But Sorcha carries shadows even Luke can’t read. Just as they’re settling into their begrudging partnership, college students start dropping across Savannah, Georgia. And every clue points directly at Luke. Someone is framing him—someone with a grudge, a plan, and a very personal reason to send him back to Hell. To survive the setup, Luke and Sorcha must team up against enemies both infer...

  The World Cup is here, which means the world is watching soccer, and I’m over here reading about soccer players and their future WAGS. SO, if you’re in the mood for fierce competition, team rivalries, plenty of tension, and romances that score every time, I’ve rounded up seven soccer romances that are perfect for World Cup season. Whether you’re here for the sport or just the hot athletes, these books deserve a spot on your TBR.  DEFENDING HER HEART ( CLEARWATER UNITED #1 ) BY CATALINA VOSS He's the most hated man in professional soccer. She's the physical therapist who refuses to give up on lost causes. Maverick Rodriguez had it all—until one bar fight defending a teammate destroyed his career and left him exiled to a small-town team in Florida. Angry, bitter, and convinced he's toxic to everyone around him, he's not looking for salvation. Especially not from the sunshine-bright physical therapist with gentle hands and stubborn determination. Sophia Hartwell didn...
