Review, GIVEAWAY and Blog Tour Friday: Pulled Under by Sarah Darlington
#3 Kill Devil Hills
Goodreads Blurb:
"man-child. noun.
: a grown man who is very immature, therefor considered a man-childmanwhore. noun.
: a promiscuous man who has no regard for his sexual partners or the emotional value of his relationships
Rhett Morgan couldn't have been more wrong for me. The guy drank beer in the shower, for crying out loud. He had no prospects for the future, had slept with half the women in our beach town of Kill Devil Hills, and had no desire to change his manwhore ways.
And when Ben Turner, the guy I had loved from afar for the past four years, died and I couldn't get over his death, I desperately needed a distraction. A distraction like Rhett. So I used him for a one-night stand. Because, after all, that's the only thing a guy like Rhett is good for...right?"

R&R/ARC Review Friday: To the Steadfast by Briana Gaitan
Stand-alone to date but another book in the works
Goodreads Blurb:
"Resolute. Firm. Unwavering
That was my love for him.Steadfast for as long as I can remember.
As my best friend's brother, he ignored me before noticing me. He protected me, bought me my first beer, but eventually became my undoing.
There was a time I would have died to get him to notice me, now I'd do anything to forget him.
I'm not the one who can tame him, and he's not the guy who will change for me.
This isn't a story about falling in love, this is a story about falling out of love.
Unrequited love.
And finding the strength to move on.
Here's to the steadfast.
*This is a first in a standalone series that crosses years from YA into NA genre, due to HEAVY subject matter this book is for ages 16 and up. This is not your typical love story.*"

Review Friday: Pointe of Breaking by Amy Daws and Sarah J. Pepper
Stand-alone to date
Goodreads Blurb:
"When Ivy League & Tutus Collide
A collaboration by Amy Daws & Sarah J. Pepper POINTE
Getting screwed over backstage by my married-ex tears my heart into a million tiny pieces.
[Sitting in the audience at the ballet with my former fling wasn’t my idea of fun.]
I live in my pointe shoes, not even my ex can taint my love for ballet.
[I hate the ballet. This on again/off again crap was getting old.]
And then my whole world changes when I notice the smoldering gaze…
[Then I look to the stage, and I can’t take my eyes off…]
OF...
Leo Richards.
[Adeline Parker.]
Concentrating on anything except his sexy…everything, is impossible.
[Her presence commands my attention…I’ve never experienced this before.]
He makes me second-guess everything I’ve ever dreamed about.
[She makes me question everything I’ve ever known.]
Fighting him is a strategic sport—no clothes allowed.
[All I can think about are her sexy ballerina legs wrapped around me—tutu definitely on.]
BREAKING
Our scandalous rendezvous is plastered all over NYC’s tabloids.
[Because of my status in Manhattan, now I’ve dragged her into the limelight.]
My ex will stop at nothing to tear us apart.
[Seriously powerful people forbid me to be with her.]
Rumors about his past keep building.
[I can’t tell her this secret.]
When it came to Leo, I only knew the big things.
[When it came to Adeline, I knew nothing about the little things.]
But uncovering those things about him [her] may push us past our breaking point."

BABB August Challenge: DIY GSD
So I've decided to do the same challenge that I did last month: get all my reviews done! I got all of them half done... meaning that I wrote down notes for all of them but I just didn't write them all out and put them up on Goodreads to get the books off of my currently reading shelf. So that's this month's challenge! If I have time during that (August is a BUSY month for me this year!) I'm going to be cleaning up my sidebar!
P.S. I know, I know, the month is already half over... but what can I say? I have serious procrastination issues...
Updated Review Tuesday: Warzone: Nemesis by Morris E. Graham
Warzone: Nemesis #1 (Volume 2 won't be out for another couple of years)
Goodreads Blurb:
"The space race was a lie, and the cold war wasn’t as cold as you thought. While we were playing spy versus spy, conducting an arms race and a space race on Earth, things were heating up in the solar system.
In 1959, an alien vessel crashed on the Navajo reservation, ushering forth a colonial space race in the solar system between the two superpowers. The prize is the mysterious metal known only as alloy-x and the alien technology that promises to make one nation or the other the dominant superpower in the arms race. The American commander finds himself fighting with the toughest antagonist of his career. He had finally met his nemesis. The stakes are high. Losing the struggle could tip the balance of power on the Earth, giving the Soviets the advantage in Earth’s cold war."

Review Sunday: Weird Things Customers Say In Bookshops by Jen Campbell
Weird Things Customers Say In Bookshops #1
Goodreads Blurb:
"This Sunday Times Bestseller is a miscellany of hilarious and peculiar bookshop moments:
'Can books conduct electricity?''My children are just climbing your bookshelves: that's ok... isn't it?'
A John Cleese Twitter question ['What is your pet peeve?'], first sparked the 'Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops' blog, which grew over three years into one bookseller's collection of ridiculous conversations on the shop floor.
From 'Did Beatrix Potter ever write a book about dinosaurs?' to the hunt for a paperback which could forecast the next year's weather; and from 'I've forgotten my glasses, please read me the first chapter' to'Excuse me... is this book edible?'
This full-length collection illustrated by the Brothers McLeod also includes top 'Weird Things' from bookshops around the world."
