The DNF Diaries

Hi friends!

How is everyone doing? I've been feeling a bit slumpy lately for some reason. After I read the amazing book that was Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn, I've been unable to 100% get into a romance book. I did start reading On the Line last night and it's working for me so far. But seriously, add Luck of the Draw to your TBRs. It gave me ALLL the swoons!



Anyways, today's post is about Luck of the Draw. I've had a couple of DNFs in the past few weeks, so I thought I'd share them here and list why I didn't care for them.

Lonesome Lily Turned Scandalous Siren

Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. When an artist offers her pretty promises and begs her to pose for a scandalous portrait, Lily doesn't hesitate...until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin.

Highland Devil turned Halfhearted Duke

The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. It does not matter that the imposing Scotsman has inherited one of the most venerable dukedoms in Britain—he wants nothing to do with it, especially when he discovers that the unwanted title comes with a troublesome ward, one who is far too old and far too beautiful to be his problem.

Tartan Comes to Town

Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see her become someone else's problem, then return to a normal, quiet life in Scotland. It's the perfect plan, until Lily declares she'll only marry for love...and the Scot finds that there is one thing in England he likes far too much...

Week in Review #8

Hi guys!

How is everyone doing this week? My week was good (for once yay!). A lot of things are starting to move in a good direction and I'm relieved. Plus, all those inspiring speeches this week have given me hope! Seriously, can we talk about how amazing and inspirational Michelle Obama's speech was? Talk about wow!

I'm always a little nervous to share my reviews/graphics with authors on Twitter, but I was really excited about my review for A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet, so I tweeted her a link and omg her reaction made my whole day!

@nickofthebooks @SourcebooksCasa Oh my gosh! I love this review and the graphic so much! Thank you! I'm going to read this again and again!!

I had a huge smile on my face the whole day thanks to her reaction!

Anyways, let's get to the recap part of my week in review!

Upcoming 2016 Swoony Books I'm Dying To Read

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I hope your weeks are going well so far. I'll be low-key taking part in Top Ten Tuesdays, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, as from today because it's my favorite meme out there, but oddly, I've never participated myself.

Today's topic is one I'm very excited about: Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of 2016. Because this is an adult romance book blog, I decided to add my twist to it and make it about all the swoony releases I'm dying to read coming out this year. I did fail at just sticking to 10 though and ended up with 14, but I couldn't narrow it down because I'm so so excited for ALL of these!

I hope you guys are able to find some books to add to your TBRs! :)
