Happy New Year, dearies! 🎆❄🎇
Here’s this one in case you missed some good ones.
It was not easy to pick one post for each month, so I didn’t and instead, I’ll talk about what happened during the year.

Current eBook Sale: Until Jan First
Hello, dearies! ❄☃
Sorry I didn’t publish this one earlier. Smashwords it’s currently running its annual End of Year Sale. Sale Dates: December 15 – January 1, 2023.
So, here is a new 2022 Smaswords list of books that are on sale or are free, get them while they’re hot. Here are some that caught my attention.
Smashwords eBook Sale
Santa’s Secret Helpers – Series
This Christmas, something magical is happening in Sapphire Bay. When a Christmas Facebook post goes viral, Emma, Kylie, Bailey, and Shelley are swamped with people asking Santa for help. Join them as they make people’s Christmas wishes come true and, in the process, find their happy ever after.
The Collectors: The Complete Series
With a single touch, I’ve unlocked a piece of history that will irrevocably alter my future. For years, I’ve been hiding in plain sight, pretending to be an average young woman by running my mother’s antique shop and dating cute, ordinary guys.
Cupid’s Apprentice
To earn her wings, Cupid’s apprentice Dar has until Valentine’s Day to match two-time Loser Laura Quinn with Boring Brian Hoffman.
Note: I have some doubts about this one, but not enough to stop me from adding it to my cart.
Not You It’s Me
When the kiss-cam lands on perpetually-single Gemma, she thinks she’ll die of embarrassment…Until the sexy stranger in the seat next to her steps in to save the day. But what happens when just one kiss isn’t enough?
Christmas by Candlelight
She’s duty bound to a family dream. With a slew of struggles and surprises, can she make this holiday season one to remember? Claire Chandler’s passion has just been put on hold.
And that’s it for this list, dearies! 🎇 Hope you found one that you would add to your reading list or buy at once. And this isn’t about me, but my romance books under my penname are also on Smashwords and on sale for December.
Thank you for stopping by the blog and hitting like, or sharing, or perhaps following the blog if you’re not already.
This is not my last of the year but if you don’t catch the next one then happy Christmas and upcoming New 2023. ⛄

Daisy Darker
Author: Alice Feeney
Genres: Suspense, Drama, Thriller (?)
⭐⭐⭐
I give credit when and where credit is due.
Hello, dearies! 🐚
A new month is here, and only now am I publishing a new one, but the days just blend together lately.
Daisy Darker was my first audiobook, and half of the time I thought, I could be reading this instead of listening and it’ll be faster and perhaps a bit more interesting. But that is not part of the review, just a thought about audiobooks.

The Nothing Man: Review?
Author: Catherine Ryan Howard
Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Adult, Suspense
3⭐
Hello, dearies! 📝
Here’s another I wouldn’t have picked up from a shelf on a trip to the bookstore, yet I read it.
The Nothing Man is one of those books that didn’t have my full attention until about sixty per cent of it was already behind me.
I could have left it on the side, I could have stopped reading long before that half mark, but I pushed on, and I am sorry for those who are fans, but it didn’t amount to much at the end.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder: Book Review
Book: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
Version: UK
Series: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder #1
Page count: 433 pgs.
Author: Holly Jackson
Genre: Mystery, Young Adult, Thriller
4⭐
Hello, dearies! 👋
Here’s another that I didn’t think I would create or read, but life has its turns and here we are.
I enjoyed Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, even when the YA part got a little exaggerated and I was fighting with the main character out aloud alone in my room.

Horimiya
ホリミヤ
(Horimiya)
by Hero, Daisuke Hagiwara (Artist)Genres: Romance. Young Adult. School Life. Slice of Life.
A lovely one.
One of the first reviews I start with a one-liner I know already. 😄
Hello, dearies! 💖
Horimiya (Hori to Miyamura) is one of those that I first watched the anime then read the manga, but it’s alright, you can do it like that as well, there’s not much difference in the story, except for the ending of the Manga, that’s a plus for us readers.
I’ll jump right in.

New eBook Summer/Winter Sale on Smashwords 2022
Hello, dearies! ⛱️❄️
Hope your weekend was great! I have been a little off the grid I know, but it’s been a difficult couple of months.
Now, I wanted to share Smashwords’ newest sales, this time for Summer/Winter time. The Sale Dates: July 1 – July 31, 2022. So it’s almost done, but it doesn’t mean you cannot find great deals still.
You’re probably thinking that I work for Smashwords or something, but that’s not it, I just like how they always have sales, and you can self-publish your books with a few instructions, which I have done.
So, what sort of sales or deals are we talking about? Well, you can get books that are 25% off, 50% off, 75% off, or for FREE. Yes, #freebooks, I know! But supporting authors can also come in the form of getting one of those books that are 75% off at least and will still be a great deal, something to consider. 🙂
I don’t have a list of book suggestions this time, but you can find all eBooks on sale here.
Also, if you’re an aspiring writer and would like to try your hand at self-publishing but don’t know how Smashwords work, you can ask me for sure.
Thank you for stopping by today and reading this quick one, I know it’s my usual one, but I wanted to mention the deals for this Summer/Winter sale.
That’s it for now, don’t forget to visit my social media as well or follow the blog for more. 💞
Happy Reading! 📚

Verity
Author: Colleen Hoover
Genres: Thriller, Romance, Mystery, Dark, Adult
4 ⭐
Hello, dearies! 📖
First off, let me tell you a bit of what you’ll encounter in this book review for Verity because I feel like some warnings are necessary.
I gave it 4 stars to not give it 3 because that would affect the author, and I’m sure many love this book. And It’s not that I didn’t like it perse, but I didn’t enjoy it fully either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was well-written, and I thought, yes, I could read other books by this author.
But this review is honest, as honest it can be without giving away the ending. I’m warning now and will be warning you further ahead that there are spoilers in this review, many if you don’t want to know anything before reading Verity like me. I read it without even looking at the genres of it.
Let’s begin. 📝

Finale – Hush Hush Book 4
Saga: Hush Hush
Book: Finale
4 ⭐
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genres: YA, Romance, Fantasy, Supernatural, Fallen Angels
Hello, dearies!
It took me some time to write this one, but here I am. As promised.
I will give you the randomness of my thoughts as they came when I was reading Finale, so bear with me for a bit. You might enjoy the quotes and snippets from the book.
Fair warning, this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books in the Hush Hush Saga, including this one, book 4, Finale.
For more insight, you might want to first read my revamped review of Books 1 – 3.
