HAPPY MONDAY AND HAPPY PRIME DAY WEEK (*as of tomorrow)!!!! HOLY MOLY IT STARTS TOMORROW, and I’m staying home all day to play in the deals, the new release day books, and my favorite things… I bet some deals even start today (like these Amazon deals right here 😉 )
Three things:
1.) I watched TWO NEW horror movies this weekend and I’m thrilled!!! I’m thrilled ’causeway husband watched them with me (and he’s not into horror at all). And he enjoyed them (for the most part). I also slept a TON (cold medicines really do a number on my energy – or maybe it was the cold that kept me out). Despite all that, I’m almost halfway through a long (but much-loved book) and I’m enjoying it!!!
So now I’m in the stage of my cold (or was its flu? I had a fever for 2 whole days), but anyway I’m no longer in pain or feverish, or burning from the inside of my face and lungs, or miserable and irritated. Finally… relief. Yes, I’m still gross, but not constantly gross. Ya know? 😂
2.) First horror movie on the docket was the latest Final Destination Bloodlines and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Exciting and scary, and clever (creative when it came to the deaths – these writers are so clever!!), and so in your face about it. I’m giving this a 4.5 STARS!! My full review to come. 😉
3.) “Bring Her Back“ <—- Second movie on the docket was touted as the scariest movie of the year, and “OMG THE trauma”, and the “best movie I never want to watch again” and the subject lines to every review I saw about it gave me an absolute jolt of YESSSSSSS SHOW IT TO MEEEEE!!! I was so excited. It had heart, it was visually so disturbing at times, and I LOVED the story (exactly up my creepy alley), but while to most, this is SCARY, to me it could have gone deeper in a certain aspect, and scare me hard. But it didn’t (and for many – where it went IS the perfect level of depth) but for me… I need that terror to 5-star it. So 4 stars it is!! My full review to come.

HE RESCUED HER
Making It Up (Sapphire Falls Next Generation Book 2)
SHE’S THE DAUGHTER OF THE ONE PERSON HE DOESN’T TRUST…
“…Rescuing Mia Hansen from the middle of a field during a storm is my job. I’m a conservation officer, not a hero. And definitely not a guy who goes looking for trouble. At least not anymore. I have a past, but I’m a rule-follower now. And I especially don’t need the kind of trouble that comes with a sweet smile, killer curves, and a library card.
But Mia is definitely going to be a problem for me. The irresistible, late-night-fantasy kind. Because she’s also the daughter of the only man in this town I don’t like and can’t trust...”

Olympic champion Judith Rosner once had the world at her feet. But after Austria’s annexation by Nazi Germany, her victories no longer matter—only the fact that she is Jewish. Friends turn away, the Gestapo is closing in, and survival becomes her only goal.

That is, until everything changes and there’s nothing keeping me at a safe distance. She’s living in Brooklyn and looking for fun with guys, and I can no longer observe from the sidelines. Any chance—no matter how small—she gives me, I’m going to take it and say to hell with the consequences.
Only, the opportunity I get isn’t small, and neither are the stakes that go with it...”

Ten years later, Patrick is the quarterback of the Brooklyn Kings with a wild reputation as a ladies’ man, and I’m his new personal assistant. Patrick doesn’t know I was once his lover, but I’ve never forgotten him...”
