Tuesday Reviews

It's Tuesday and that can only mean one thing in my world: Read all the books!

I buy a lot of books. I mean, A LOT of books. I read everything. Sticking to one genre is just not my thing. It never has been. If there's words in it, I'll probably read it. Within reason, of course.

I also read several books at once. I can't explain why. That's just the way my brain works. I can bounce from book to book, genre to genre, and never feel lost. I guess that's why I also write in several genres. 

Beginning next week, I'll post reviews for books I read in the previous week. None of the books were given to me. I purchased or borrowed every last one of them. You'll know what I'm reading in the upcoming week.

To get things started, these are the books I'm reading this week (Tuesday through Tuesday):

1. A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane - http://amzn.to/1jxHNaD - This is a dark, gritty thriller. It was published in 1994, but still incredibly relevant today. 

2.  The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher - http://amzn.to/1jxHXyz - I'm about halfway through it and LOVE it so far. Romance with a twist is the best way to describe it.

3.  Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes - http://amzn.to/1jxI9hi - Why? Because I love Shonda Rhimes and, more importantly, because as the new year approaches, it's time to take stock. 

Check in next week to read my reviews and found out what I'm reading next!

For the love of books & chocolate,

Ava Mallory

12 Days of Christmas Book Giveaways

It's giveaway time! It's day three of the 12 Days of Christmas Book Giveaways and that means it's my day to host a giveaway. Two winners will win an e-copy of my new release 'Tis the Sneezin' ! (Winners will be chosen on Christmas Day 12/25/15.) Here's the book:  http://amzn.to/1TK0V1v Tis the Sneezin' Description: Traveling nurse Mercy Mares is up to her eyeballs in donations for the town's annual holiday celebration. Every nook and cranny of her house and all of her friend's and neighbor's houses are overflowing with gifts for ill children in her local hospital. It's all she can do to keep track of what is what and who is who.  On the night that she and her merry band of helpers are to deliver these gifts, everything, including gifts she bought for her loved ones, simply disappear without a trace.  Now, Mercy has to find the thief before those who appointed her this year's Mrs. Claus find out that they're missing an

Commit to your Goals

It's that time of year. We all know it's coming. Many of us plan for it, get our one word ready, buy new planners, make to-do lists, do all the things necessary to prepare for what's next. I do. December was a race to the finish to check those things I'd ignored in 2019 off my to-do list. I made so much progress. I was a productivity maven. I was ready for the new year. Then, 2020 happened and a long Christmas break for the kids hit me like a bag of bricks to the bag of the head. Ouch! I had goals. They were multiplying. (Sing to the tune of You're the One That I Want from Grease.) The problem was even though I'd spent so much time in 2019 telling myself how productive and on task I'd be in 2020, I didn't think realistically about how "busy" (she says in quotes because no one should ever be too busy to pursue their goals) my life truly is. Here's the reality. It's cliche, I know, but if you want something bad enough, y

What to Read Next

  What kind of books do you like to read? Do you only read one genre or are you like me? I'm an eclectic reader. If it sounds good, will teach me something, make me feel something, will make me cry, laugh, sing, or all the above, I'm all over it. Don't tell anyone I told you this. I'll deny it in court. (Kidding!) But I have two Kindles that have over 3000 books each on them. That's just the beginning. I also have what I estimate to be a few thousand books I've read, started to read, haven't read yet, or forgot I owned all over my house. I kid you not. Our house has more books than our local library. My book obsession is real. With all these books, you'd think finding my next read would be easy, but you think wrong. I can make anything complicated. True story. I don't know about you, but my eclectic reading taste stems from needing to be "in the mood" for a specific genre or writing style. Like many people, at the beginning of the year, I a
