Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your week! I have started getting ready for teaching this week, which means I spent my entire prep period at the printer today.
For Goodreads Monday, I decided that I will start randomly generating the number of the book I choose. All of the books I choose are found under my to-be-read shelf on Goodreads. This week, I landed on Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth.
Goodreads Monday allows you to post about what books are on your “to read” lists, the progress you have made on your current books and reading challenge, and any other Goodreads news! To participate, choose a random book from your TBR and show it off. It is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog.
A Book on My TBR
Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth
Published on October 25, 2022
Genres: Adult, Romance, Spicy
Pages: 304
Abbie Keller thought that Richard Bartholemew Benson the Third would be her forever. In their four years of dating, she never doubted that she wouldn't end up with his grandmother's engagement ring on her finger. Sure, she had to change a few things about herself to fit that mold, like dying her hair, dressing more conservatively, and finding golf enjoyable (honestly the most difficult of the changes), but she was sure that at the end of it all, it would be worth it.
That is, until he leaves her crying outside her apartment wearing a Halloween costume, having broken it off with her because she's just not serious enough. She was just fun, he tells her - and now that Richard has becoming a partner at his law firm in his sights, he needs to focus on work.
So she does what every girl does when she's broken up with: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and formulates her plan for revenge. It just so happens that the universe supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex that he made a huge mistake: his boss.
Abbie starts dating the founding partner of Richard's law firm, Damien Martinez, with one thing in mind: convincing him to invite her to the huge annual Christmas party as his date.
But when the relationship starts to become something more than casual dating and Abbie sees that the tough New York lawyer has a soft side, will she be able to follow through with her plan of deceit?
OH HEY! A book that is actually already on my Physical TBR! I have been trying to read more indie romance authors, and Morgan Elizabeth is one who is at the top of my list. I read Big Nick Energy last holiday season, and I really enjoyed the writing! I have been meaning to pick up another book from her, but I’m not sure if I want to save this one for next winter. Thoughts?
Currently Reading
The Book Thief – I am now 98% done with The Book Thief!! I will likely be done with this book within the hour!
Teen Killer’s Club – This is one of the book’s on my Netgalley backlist. I have only read the first chapter so far, but I have been looking forward to this one.
Save the Cat! Writes a Novel – So something I have not been very vocal about is my writing. For years, I have enjoyed writing, but I have never taken the initiative to actually finish a book! I have written short stories, poems, and many starts to novels, but with my busy schedule, writing never took priority. One of my personal goals for 2024 is to finish a first draft of my book, and I have heard great things about this writing book. I am hoping it brings me some inspiration to continue my story!
