Friday night! Yay! This Friday flew by and I can hardly recall what I’ve done today. Which makes it pretty perfect imo. :)
I know it started with me staying in bed too long while finishing the novella
The One that Got Away by
T.C. Blue. It’s the first of four books in the
One and One series and was a cute Friends to Lovers m/m story. Although it took the protags a little bit long to realize their love for each other (which made me want to smack them both at different times), I still enjoyed their story quite a bit. It was the first book I read by this author and I liked her writing style, it felt as if being in the heads of the heroes, alternately. When this is done well, it’s my favorite type of narrative. And T.C. Blue did it just right, switching to the other POV in time, without being it too fast. So, it was a 4 stars read for me!

Fairly recently, I found out about the upcoming release of a new book of one of my favorite authors, scheduled for October 27th:
River of Need by
Shayla Kersten. And also coming out this month (the 29th) is
Dudleytown by
LB Gregg, another one I’ll be jonesing for.

Did you notice
yesterday’s guest review? The reviewer is Lis, another Dutch girl with whom I only recently ‘connected’. I’d seen her commenting at Wave’s blog before (as Larissa) but never realized how much we had in common and I’m so glad I invited her over to my blog to do a guest review. I loved her review and I’m proud to say that she will come back more often. I have Blodeuedd to thank for ‘introducing’ me to Lis with
this review she wrote for B’s blog. Lis introduced herself there as an
“incredibly chaotic, sword wielding cowgirl from Holland who lives and breathes books of the supernatural & paranormal variety stirred with some romantic, erotic and mystery and or historic ingredients.” Especially the sword wielding part piqued my curiosity (read
yesterday’s review to learn more about that ;)). And she loves the m/m genre as much as I do! I really hope she’ll keep expressing her love for books with guest posts at my place and that you’ll like that too.

Speaking of connecting with fellow Dutch smut lovers… Bloggy friend
Leontine and I are planning another real life meeting later this month. We’re going to have a High Tea in Utrecht at this cute little place near one of the canals:
I already look forward to hours of talking about books and blog stuff with Leontine while eating the most delicious sweet things and drinking tea. Wanna join us? :)
It’s bed time for me now…
Happy Gay Friday!

ReplyDelete@FV: I know, I had the same troubles with the blog. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it was only temporary and that you could swing by again! :D
And indeed, Leontine is a doll! The last time we met, we spent 7 hours talking and laughing and the time flew by. She's very entertaining. :)
I like TC Blue's work although something about that series hasn't called my name yet.

ReplyDeleteAnd owh lord...that is so incredibly funny! I've been talking with Wave about doing a post to connect with the Dutch (and possible German and Belgium) readers and now I read about the high tea in my home town! So good and so much fun!!! If you need help organising or anything, let me know!
It's also very cool to see home you can connect with people and how you gain new connections! I've know B. for years while I connected with Tam *waves! Hi T-girl* in RL when I was in Canda through Wave's blog and met Janna through B. while also seeing her around Wave's blog!
