You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet.

And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me...


Review:

“Up until yesterday, I, Georgie Carruthers, never believed in aliens.”

Book Whispers is Coming Back!

It hit me a while ago that Book Whispers is 11 years old!! Sadly my last post was in 2017. So technically 7 active years, and 4 none active years. But still . . .  11 years!

A lot had happened and I needed a break from my beloved Book Whispers. Mainly due to events making it hard for me to read. Yes. The unthinkable. 

However, no matter how hard it's been for me to read I've pressed on and I've been reading more than ever this year. Not quite up to my old reading habits, but I'm taking my awesome win.

Now that reading is feeling enjoyable again I've been wanting to post reviews again. As a rule if I post a review on Goodreads I need to have it here first! It's what I've done from the beginning. I've been caving and actually posting ratings, but the urge to share my love, meh, or dislike is strong. I have opinions! 

I've been putting it off since I'm rusty with writing reviews now. They don't flow like they use to. Not to mention the debate of whether to add photos to my reviews like everyone else, or stick to my hardcore stance of no images except the book. Decisions, Decisions. 

 Or my huge blog revamp I was always talking about. Which I've decided not to do. I like how my blog looks! I will probably update my logo. Especially since the blog is wider now, but that might be a while.  So mainly minor tweeks around the place.

Also, the debate of whether to share my love of other things here. Expanding while still staying a book blog. So there might be some new things on here. 

So thanks to those who stuck around! Though I feel like the posts will mainly be for me for a while. A long, long while.

Once Upon a Time…  

In the kingdom of Tranen, a king makes a promise to his dying wife that he'll only remarry a woman who possesses her golden hair. In time, the king's eyes are turned by his daughter. Realizing her father’s intentions, Princess Aurelia tries to trick him by requesting impossible gifts: dresses created by the sun, moon and stars, and a coat made of a thousand furs. But when he is successful, Aurelia sacrifices her privileged life and flees her kingdom, disguised by the cloak and a new name, Allerleirauh. 

She enters the safe haven of Saarland der Licht, where the handsome and gentle Prince Klaus takes her under his care. Hoping not to be discovered by her father’s courtiers, Allerleirauh tries to remain hidden under her new identity when she finds unexpected love with Prince Klaus, even though his arranged marriage to the princess of a neighboring kingdom approaches.

Wednesday Wishes + Cover Coveting

Okay I've been enjoying watching Still Star-Crossed. It's been so hard to know when it airs that I've just been catching it on Roku when an episode hits. So now I've found out that they've dumped it and at least—thankfully—they will have a full season 1. However, didn't it ever occur that maybe because they made it so hard to know when it was airing that people had a hard time watching? Sighs. Feels like any of the summer shows they try are dumped before episode 3.

Moving on to books. I decided to use my WW header because I haven't used it in ages! However, the cover has been dropped.

Oh, and the book? It's a merging of AWESOME SAUCE authors. Gaze upon it.

Nasty Romance Covers

So I don't think these are the worst romance covers I've ever scene, let alone the most WTF. I got a kick out of them though!

That butt one was super odd. I love what comes through the Ms Mojo channel every now and then.
