Since I was doing one of these over at Rita Reviews I thought I would do one here as well. I mean why not? It’s my birthday and I have a new lease on life so why not celebrate the crap out of that. Honestly I could be sad and say that my heart failure is a death sentence and I admit to having bad days where it feels like it is. I mean two hospital stays in barely a month doesn’t bode well. My doctors and I have a plan and we are sticking to it.
So lets celebrate the fact that I am 45 today! I have never been one of those women who lie about their age. I don’t see the point. I could say I was younger but I earned every single grey hair and wrinkle that I have. I have laugh lines because I laugh a lot. Getting older means I no longer get embarrassed by what I read. If someone makes a remark about me reading “mommy porn” or just “porn” I just smile and tell them they have no idea what they are missing. I enjoy the books I read, the ones I listen to, and every other part of my life.

What a great giveaway thank you, and happy birthday!
I just finished reading “I’m Your Huckleberry” by Val Kilmer. A couple of weeks ago I saw “Val” on Amazon Prime Video and I was deeply affected by it. It was a stark contrast to see him young and beautiful in the 1980s and 1990s and to see him how he is today after struggling with throat cancer. I have recently dealt with health issues and have more than once thought I didn’t want to continue dealing with this everyday. But then I saw “Val” and I thought, “if Val can keep going, so can I”. So then I read his book and there are weird parts but a lot of sections of the book brought a smile to my face. He is a very creative person.
Happy Birthday! I’m 45, too.
Kaitlin and the outlander. 15 books. Great time travel/ love story. It’s fun !!

Great giveaway!! I would suggest reading a touch of darkness by Scarlet St Claire. I really liked reading this book recently.
Happy Birthday I am currently reading books by Jaymin Eve you should check them out.
Anything by AL Jackson.
I suggest that you read ”The Zahir” by Paulo Coelho. I love this book with all my heart.
Kristen Hannah and Jody Picoult are great authors. I heard my aunt say that her favorite book was Lonesome Dove. I had no idea what the book was about but I checked it out from the library. I normally give books 100 pages before I decide to keep reading or not waste my time. Lonesome Dove is around 1000 pages so I decided to give it 200 pages and it is a genre I usually do not care to read but so glad I did. I know you have tons on your plate but if you ever want something different it is a good book.
Five Dates Only
Happy Birthday! I like reading something fun with a little comedy in it. You may too.
I would recommend reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. It was the first book that I loved and that got me interested in reading. It will give you warm fuzzies.
One that I would love and recommend is Prisoners of Love: Miranda by Callie Hutton! So good!
I recommend The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Hm, maybe a little poetry? I don’t read poetry often but when I do, I feel sentimental and inspired. I Hope This Helps
by Nakeia Homer is lovely. A country singer, Kelsea Ballerini (love her songs), is coming out with one called Feel Your Way Through but it comes out in November…
I really loved the Enders game series by R.A. Salvatore and I love Stephen King so I would recommend Thinner and Misery.
I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King. You should check it out!
Hi, many many more happy returns of the day! God bless you!

P.S: That giveaway money from you, could be greatly useful for me as I’m a student, in remote area and not in an working position.
Thank you! Have a great day!
Happiest Birthday Ever! (I put in the Rita Reviews newsletter code word instead of the Wickedly Romance newsletter code word. I do have it.) I think you should read “The Things We Keep” by Sally Hepworth, “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman and “My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry” also by Fredrick Backman. I jus finished reading them.
Happy Birthday!
I have always enjoyed Jane Eyre. I like the classics and have tried rereading them at different ages. Try rereading a classic!
classic books will be okay
I highly recommend the latest Hunger Games, Ballad of Songbirds and Serpents by Collins. I loved it!
Happy birthday! I do not know any books that i’d recommend right now.
Happy Birthday! I just finished reading A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. It’s the perfect book to get into the mood for the spooky season!
The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.
Jaymin Eve has some amazing series, it you don’t mind reverse harem then I suggest reading her curse of the gods….which is hands down the best series I have read of recent. Also, if you want something a bit tamer then I I suggest Huntress by Julie Hall, the main charcter is a stubborn but amazing hero even if she doesn’t know it. Found this book to be a page turner and not like some of the others I read, plus it has book two out so your not waiting in the dark for what happens next.
I believe all of these suggestions are free on KU!
Happy Birthday and read what ever your heart desires, what interest you in a book?
Happy Birthday to you have you have a great day! I would suggest Becoming by Michelle Obama.
Happy Birthday! I like reading anything by Agatha Christie

If you haven’t already, read Amy Tan’s The Kitchen God’s Wife.
I suggest reading the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury
