Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Today's Top Ten Tuesday is all about the new authors we read in 2018, but since I already shared a similar list during Blogmas, I'm going to share the books I'm very excited to read that are coming out this year. Now I know I previously had not one, but two lists highlighting the 2019 releases I want to read (here and here), but there are just SO MANY BOOKS coming out that I want to read! I will however stop at just my top 5 today.  The anticipation is killing me, guys!

Down The TBR Hole #9

Down The TBR Hole is hosted by Lia @ Lost In A Story

Hello dear book lovers and welcome to another post in the Down The TBR Hole feature hosted by the awesome Lia.

It feels like YEARS since I last did a Down The TBR Hole post, when in reality it's been only 2 months since my Confused Edition of this feature. I ended that post with 2936 left on my TBR and I was super proud for reaching that number. In the meantime though, the holidays happened, new books were announced, new authors were discovered by me, and I managed to add so many books, I now have to go back to 2972 books. This is a little setback, but stay with me guys, I'm not going to let this TBR bring me down. Let's start!

Sunday Post #3: In Which I Have The Flu

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. 

Hey guys! It's crazy that we're two weeks into the new year. Where did the time go? I've been really sick this week, with a nasty case of the flu, complete with sneezing fits, sore throat and fever, which is probably why I have no sense of time at the moment, and also why I've been absent from the blog.

Blurb (from Goodreads):

In the finale to the award-winning Talon Pack series from NYT bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan sets, the final Brentwood must find his mate as the war with the Aspens comes to a close.

Cheyenne Liles has watched all of her friends mate into the Talon Pack and have their lives changed forever, one by one. She’s stood back, helpless to assist in the war with a rival Pack. But just when she thinks her time with the Talons is over and believes she should move on with her human life, the Aspen Pack Alpha takes matters into his own hands, altering her fate far more than a single mate mark ever could.

Max Brentwood used to be the smiling one, the only Brentwood who was somehow able to save his soul during the last Alpha’s reign. But his life was irrevocably changed one fateful day on the battlefield, and he was never the same again. Suddenly, Max is forced to face his future and make a choice when Cheyenne comes into danger: let fate decide, or watch his world crumble around him.

The shifters of this world have fought demons, humans, and themselves. Now, it’s time to find out who they truly are as the war between the Packs ends, and the moon goddess finally takes a stand.

Blog Tour Book Review: Evidence Of Desire by Lexi Blake

Author: Lexi Blake

Audience: +18
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Berkley
Release Date: January 8th 2019
My Rating: 4.5 Cups

Blurb (from Goodreads):

A fast-paced contemporary romance that sizzles from the New York Times bestselling author of Order of Protection where passion for the aw isn't the only thing heating up the courtroom.

Isla Shayne knows she's in over her head. As former all-star linebacker Trey Adams's personal lawyer, she's used to handling his business dealings and private financial matters, not murder charges. She needs to find an experienced criminal attorney who speaks her client's language. David Cormack of Garrison, Cormack and Lawless is exactly what she needs in the courtroom—and the only man she wants in the bedroom.

For David, taking on the Adams case means diving back into a world he thought he'd left behind and colliding head on with tragic possibilities he's in no mood to face. There's a reason professional football is in his past and no matter how close Isla gets to the truth he intends to leave it there.

But long days working on the case together lead to hot nights in each other's arms. As their feelings grow, the case takes a deadly twist that could change the game between the two lovers forever.
