FRIDAY STARS – Your Weekly Must Knows 12/30/16

Life:

I got to host Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at our house this year, yay!  There were moments of tears, for missing my Grandpa, but we tried our hardest to celebrate the day he would have wanted us to.  With laughter, wonderful stories, fabulous food and lots of love.  And we did.  Especially the food part, can I eat stuffing, cheese balls, and pumpkin pie everyday of the year?!  But one of my favorite things about this season is watching Christmas through my two little boys eyes.  Everything is so magical to them.  It’s so adorable!  But I do have a confessions.  These last few days, my husband and I have been playing with their present from Santa when the boys go to bed.  It’s a trampoline.  It’s so much fun lol!  He does all the front and back flips and I’m just there jumping and laughing.  Maturity for the win lol!  If you celebrated a holiday this season, I hope you had a wonderful one too! 🙂  

In case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!

♥ Enjoy!

island-of-exiles-erica-cameron Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles #1) by Erica Cameron
In Khya’s world, every breath is a battle.
On the isolated desert island of Shiara, dying young is inevitable. The clan comes before self, and protecting her home means Khya is a warrior above all else.
But when following the clan and obeying their leaders could cost her brother his life, Khya’s home becomes a deadly trap. The only person who can help is Tessen, her lifelong rival and the boy who challenges her at every turn. The council she hoped to join has betrayed her, and their secrets, hundreds of years deep, reach around a world she’s never seen.
To save her brother’s life and her island home, her only choice is to trust Tessen, turn against her clan, and go on the run—a betrayal and a death sentence.

Upcoming Releases:

wayfarer-alexandra-brackenWayfarer (Passenger, #2) by Alexandra Bracken (Releases 01/03)
The final book in the duology!  In the first book, Passenger, Violin prodigy Etta Spencer had big plans for her future, but a tragedy has put her once-bright career at risk. Closely tied to her musical skill, however, is a mysterious power she doesn’t even know she has. When her two talents collide during a stressful performance, Etta is drawn back hundreds of years through time.
Etta wakes, confused and terrified, in 1776, in the midst a fierce sea battle. Nicholas Carter, the handsome young prize master of a privateering ship, has been hired to retrieve Etta and deliver her unharmed to the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the Colonies–the very same one that orchestrated her jump back, and one Nicholas himself has ties to. But discovering she can time travel is nothing compared to the shock of discovering the true reason the Ironwoods have ensnared her in their web.
Another traveler has stolen an object of untold value from them, and, if Etta can find it, they will return her to her own time. Out of options, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the mysterious traveler. But as they draw closer to each other and the end of their search, the true nature of the object, and the dangerous game the Ironwoods are playing, comes to light–threatening to separate her not only from Nicholas, but her path home… forever.

FRIDAY STARS – Your Weekly Must Knows 12/23/16

Friday Stars.13
Life:

One of my friends from High School came and stayed with us for a few days this week.  Her kiddos are a few months older than both of my boys, and I love that our husbands get along so well.  So each year that we’re all together, it is just so easy, even if one of our kids is having a complete and utter meltdown lol.    We had so much fun sledding in the mountains, and then the next morning sledding on our driveway – yay to waking up to fresh snow!  And then we played at our swim center for hours.  It was definitely much, much, much needed happiness!  While I was sad to say goodbye, I’m excited for the plans we have in place.  Next year we’re both going to go back home, where we grew up and went to High School together, in California.  Each Spring our town has a huge parade followed by a fair and I can’t wait to meet up for that!  I hope you had a happy moment this week too! 🙂 

In case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!

the-book-of-ivy-by-amy-engelThe Book of Ivy (The Book of Ivy #1) by Amy EngelJen’s Review

4.5 Stars! Underneath their fights and their uncertainty around each other was always something simmering.  They had the best slow burn romance that continued to burn hotter and hotter as each moment passed.  

What would you kill for?

After a brutal nuclear war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of survivors eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years later, peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the losing side to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual.
This year, it is my turn.
My name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the president’s son―my soon-to-be husband―and return the Westfall family to power.
But Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or he’s not the cruel, heartless boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the only one who can restore the Westfall legacy.
Because Bishop must die. And I must be the one to kill him…

FRIDAY STARS – Your Weekly Must Knows 12/15/16

Life:

This last week I’ve just been focused on keeping busy so as I don’t stop too long and think, because when I do my heart still hurts so much.  So I got caught up around the blogosphere, Goodreads, making a photo project for my Grandma and spending lots of time with family.  The highlight of my week was last night at my oldest son’s Christmas Recital.  It was beyond adorable!  Hearing his Kindergarten class and the preschool classes sing Christmas songs was just what we needed!  Here’s hoping you all had a huge moment of happiness this week too!

In case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!

playing-the-player-lisa-brown-robertsPlaying the Player by Lisa Brown RobertsJen’s Review

5 Stars! Playing the Player was beyond adorable.  I couldn’t stop smiling or keep the laughter contained that kept bubbling out of me.

Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she – the most organized, prepared student in school – spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she’s ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don’t ask her about the secret job of “fixing” the bad habits of a certain high school player…
Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type. She’s all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer…
Then the weirdest thing happens. There’s chemistry. A lot of it. But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret…

caraval-stephanie-garber Caraval (Untitled #1) by Stephanie Garber
Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the far-away, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.
But this year, Scarlett’s long-dreamt of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season’s Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.
Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

FRIDAY, I MEAN MONDAY STARS – Your Weekly Must Knows 12/12/16

Life:

I’m late and I’ve been quiet around the Blogosphere because my heart is still healing.  I was with my Grandpa last week when he passed away, and I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around it, let alone dealing with it.  My Grandpa was a huge part of my life.  Not only was he there for every huge and little milestone, but the world felt off if I didn’t talk to him every few days.  He was my best friend, and I miss him so much.  I’ve been spending all day with my Grandma to help her out and keep her busy and at times smiling and it’s just been all consuming.  This week I’m throwing myself back into blogging, back into Christmas activities, and back into my normal routine, while also spending everyday with my Grandma.  Here’s hoping that today is the start of all us healing. ♥

In case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!

crystal-storm-morgan-rhodes Crystal Storm (Falling Kingdoms #5) by Morgan Rhodes Chelsea’s Review

5 Stars!  I remain surprised each and every time I open a Falling Kingdoms book. They grow dramatically richer and more complex with each additional storyline, and you can’t help but to love each character, good or bad, more with each new installment.

The story continues!  In the first book, Falling Kingdoms, War brought them together. Love will tear them apart.  Princess Cleo of Mytica confronts violence for the first time in her life when a shocking murder sets her kingdom on a path to collapse. Once a privileged royal, Cleo must now summon the strength to survive in this new world and fight for her rightful place as Queen.
The King of Limeros’s son, Magnus, must plan each footstep with shrewd, sharp guile if he is to earn his powerful father’s trust, while his sister, Lucia, discovers a terrifying secret about her heritage that will change everything.
Rebellious Jonas lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making.
Witches, if found, are put to death, and Watchers, immortal beings who take the shape of hawks to visit the human world, have been almost entirely forgotten. A vicious power struggle quickly escalates to war, and these four young people collide against each other and the rise of elementia, the magic that can topple kingdoms and crown a ruler in the same day.

Lauren Layne’s bestselling Oxford Series continues with the poignant, heartwarming story of New York’s most eligible bachelor, Lincoln Mathis, a man who’s living a lie—until his dream woman takes away the pain.
Lincoln Mathis doesn’t hide his reputation as Manhattan’s ultimate playboy. In fact, he cultivates it. But behind every flirtatious smile, each provocative quip, there’s a secret that Lincoln’s hiding from even his closest friends—a tragedy from his past that holds his heart quietly captive. Lincoln knows what he wants: someone like Daisy Sinclair, the sassy, off-limits bridesmaid he can’t take his eyes off at his best friend’s wedding. He also knows that she’s everything he can never have.
After a devastating divorce, Daisy doesn’t need anyone to warn her off the charming best man at her sister’s wedding. One look at the breathtakingly hot Lincoln Mathis and she knows that he’s exactly the type of man she should avoid. But when Daisy stumbles upon Lincoln’s secret, she realizes there’s more to the charming playboy than meets the eye. And suddenly Daisy and Lincoln find their lives helplessly entwined in a journey that will either heal their damaged souls . . . or destroy them forever.

FRIDAY STARS – Your Weekly Must Knows 12/02/16

Friday Stars.13
Life:

I am SO unbelievably excited about this weekend!  We are going on The Polar Express *gasps*.  If you aren’t familiar with the children’s book or the movie (both I highly recommend!) it’s a train ride that takes kids to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus.  On the train ride there are people on-board each car that sing, dance and dress up to look like the characters in the movie and book.  Then when you arrive at the North Pole Santa climbs on board with a few of his elfs and they visit with each child on the train.  I can’t wait to see the excitement and wonder in my two little boys eyes this weekend.  Here’s hoping you all have a fabulous weekend too!

In case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!

stay-with-me-mila-gray Stay With Me (Come Back to Me #2) by Mila GrayJen’s Review

5 Stars! Stay With Me was an emotionally, beautiful story that will stay in my heart for a long time to come!
Didi Monroe has waited her whole life for happily ever after. So when charming Zac Ridgemont sweeps her off her feet, Didi believes she might finally have met the one.
Until she begins an internship at a military hospital in California. There she meets wounded marine Noel Walker. Frustrated on the outside and broken on the inside, Walker’s an irritating patient who refuses any care, keeping his distance from everything and everyone—including Didi.
Walker is strictly out of bounds. Didi knows this, respects this, but the more she tries to help Walker the closer the two grow. Soon neither one can ignore the sparks flying between them as their attraction simmers into dangerous territory.
But Walker doesn’t believe in love or happily ever after—not after what he’s seen. Not after what he’s been through. He doesn’t want to hurt Didi, but he doesn’t want to push her away either. She makes him feel peaceful. Hopeful, even.
Then tragedy hits, shattering both their worlds, and Didi realizes that love isn’t as simple as happily ever after. Love isn’t easy. It’s difficult. Messy. Complicated.
Now all Didi has to do is decide if it’s worth fighting for.

 Princess Cleo of Mytica confronts violence for the first time in her life when a shocking murder sets her kingdom on a path to collapse. Once a privileged royal, Cleo must now summon the strength to survive in this new world and fight for her rightful place as Queen.
 The King of Limeros’s son, Magnus, must plan each footstep with shrewd, sharp guile if he is to earn his powerful father’s trust, while his sister, Lucia, discovers a terrifying secret about her heritage that will change everything.
 Rebellious Jonas lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making.
Witches, if found, are put to death, and Watchers, immortal beings who take the shape of hawks to visit the human world, have been almost entirely forgotten. A vicious power struggle quickly escalates to war, and these four young people collide against each other and the rise of elementia, the magic that can topple kingdoms and crown a ruler in the same day.

playing-the-player-lisa-brown-robertsPlaying the Player by Lisa Brown Roberts
Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she – the most organized, prepared student in school – spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she’s ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don’t ask her about the secret job of “fixing” the bad habits of a certain high school player…
Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type. She’s all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer…
Then the weirdest thing happens. There’s chemistry. A lot of it. But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret…

someone like you lauren layne oxford Someone like You (Oxford #3) by Lauren Layne (Releases 12/06)
Lauren Layne’s bestselling Oxford Series continues with the poignant, heartwarming story of New York’s most eligible bachelor, Lincoln Mathis, a man who’s living a lie—until his dream woman takes away the pain.
Lincoln Mathis doesn’t hide his reputation as Manhattan’s ultimate playboy. In fact, he cultivates it. But behind every flirtatious smile, each provocative quip, there’s a secret that Lincoln’s hiding from even his closest friends—a tragedy from his past that holds his heart quietly captive. Lincoln knows what he wants: someone like Daisy Sinclair, the sassy, off-limits bridesmaid he can’t take his eyes off at his best friend’s wedding. He also knows that she’s everything he can never have.
After a devastating divorce, Daisy doesn’t need anyone to warn her off the charming best man at her sister’s wedding. One look at the breathtakingly hot Lincoln Mathis and she knows that he’s exactly the type of man she should avoid. But when Daisy stumbles upon Lincoln’s secret, she realizes there’s more to the charming playboy than meets the eye. And suddenly Daisy and Lincoln find their lives helplessly entwined in a journey that will either heal their damaged souls . . . or destroy them forever.
