My joy in last week's Sunday Post over the slightly cooler fall temps was short-lived. It was back in the 80's all this past week. *sigh*

Last Sunday I mentioned how it was the 25th anniversary of my first date with my husband. Well, two days later was my 25th anniversary at the company where I work. (Apparently 1991 was a big year for me. LOL) There was a presentation at the office on Friday with speeches and two of the former Board members (my former bosses) came and also spoke on my behalf. It was pretty overwhelming and humbling. I mean, standing in front of a big room full of people while nice things are said about you... yeah, overwhelming. :)

Lastly, congrats to the winners of Freebie Friday #04! I gave a hint in last week's Sunday Post that there would be more than one winner. Instead there were SEVEN WINNERS! :) So congrats to Brandee, Grace, Shannon, Nicole, Gen, Nicki and Lauren. Freebie Friday is going on a little hiatus for now while I build the book selection back up a bit. Thanks to everyone who has entered the giveaways! I have fun doing them and sending books off to new homes. 

Monday, October 24: On Monday I shared a review of Hard to Fall by Marquita Valentine. It's the fourth book in the Take the Fall companion series but could be read as a stand alone. I had a problem with the conflict that was resolved in the blink of an eye at the end but otherwise I enjoyed Hayden and Saylor's story.

Tuesday, October 25: This week's Top Ten Tuesday theme was a Halloween/Fall freebie so I went with book covers that made me think of autumn or Halloween or just generally fit the theme (in some way known only to me).  

Thursday, October 27: I finished the audio book of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda last week so when That's What He Said Thursday rolled around I knew I wanted to share a quote from Simon. I love the quote I chose and I had so much fun making the graphic. Definitely one of my favorite That's What He Said Thursday's. ♥ 

 

  

Finished:

The Deal - Elle Kennedy

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Audio) - Becky Albertalli

PHYSICAL BOOKS:

I read an ARC of One True Loves earlier this year and was blown away. Definitely one of my favorites of the year. I decided I needed a hard copy... of course. 

One True Loves - Taylor Jenkins Reid

KINDLE BOOKS:

I've had my eye on this series ever since I read Him by Sarina Bowen (and Elle Kennedy) earlier this year. And with my friend Sarah recently gushing about it I went ahead and one-clicked all three books. I'm super excited to read these!

Bittersweet - Sarina Bowen

Steadfast - Sarina Bowen

Keepsake - Sarina Bowen
