All Books Considered

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! This time, I really picked books that scream SUMMER to me! 

I'm so excited to be on the blog tour and reviewing The Paper Swan by Leylah Attar.  I loved this book and I am a HUGE fan of this author!   ENTER TO WIN A SIGNED BOOK AND AMAZON GIFTCARD BELOW!!!!!! Blurb from Leylah : They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. They lie. For 21 days she held on. But on Day 22, she would have given anything for the sweet slumber of death. Because on Day 22, she realizes that her only way out means certain death for one of the two men she loves. A haunting tale of passion, loss, and redemption, The Paper Swan is a darkly intense yet heartwarming love story, textured with grit, intrigue, and suspense. Please note: This is NOT a love triangle. A full-length, standalone novel, intended for mature audiences due to violence, sex and language. Subject matter may be disturbing for some readers. My Review :   It's hard to even know where to being in reviewing this book but the blurb

He can't get Gemma out of his head, even after she has left for home, and finds himself throwing caution to the wind for the first time in his life. It's not long before Josh is headed to New Zealand with only a backpack, some cash, and Gemma's name to go on. But when he finally tracks her down, he finds his adventure is only just beginning.

Today, I am waiting on:   Love, in Spanish (LIE #2) by Karina Halle !! From Goodreads : The companion to the highly emotional, scandalous and USA Today Bestselling love story - LOVE, IN ENGLISH - is finally here! Love, in Spanish is a Love, in English follow-up novel told from Mateo Casalles' POV. While Love, in Spanish touches on some events that happened in LIE (you know the ones!) it is a whole new story set a year later that continues with Vera and Mateo's "happily ever after."  ***  “She sat beside me on the bus – and she changed my whole life.”  Successful, wealthy and absurdly handsome – Spanish ex-football player Mateo Casalles seemed like he had it all. A high-society wife, an adorable little girl, and flashy apartments in Madrid and Barcelona only sweetened the deal. But th
