This fun @meghanquinnbooks activity book is a Targ This fun @meghanquinnbooks activity book is a Target exclusive! How perfect is the title for Meghan? Would you get this? Looks fun!
🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥 If National Lampoo 🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥If National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation were a spicy romance, I imagine it would look a lot like Christmas Staycation by Meghan Quinn!I had SO MUCH FUN with this audiobook! 😂 The humor is completely juvenile, the family is chaotic, and Nolan has absolutely NO FILTER. Seriously, that man’s mind lives in the gutter, and I loved every minute of it.But underneath all the dirty jokes and Christmas chaos, there’s a surprisingly swoony romance. Nolan may be a walking sexual innuendo, but his sweet little gestures and golden retriever energy totally won me over. ❤️And the AUDIO! 🎧 The full-cast duet narration was fantastic. Shane East as the story’s narrator, especially when the characters start interacting with him, made the whole experience even funnier. Kelsey Navarro Foster and Brandon Francis were amazing as leads and made me wonder why I don’t see them used more. Swipe through for the tropes, some hilariously filthy quotes, my quick take, rating, and all the audiobook details!If you love outrageous humor, holiday romance, and a hero who has never met an inappropriate comment he didn’t want to make, add this one to your Christmas reading list!🎄 Full review with likes & dislikes at anasattic.comHave you read Meghan Quinn’s Kringletown Christmas books? Which is your favorite?

🎄 What happens when a Christmas-loving PR girl tak 🎄 What happens when a Christmas-loving PR girl takes on the challenge of turning a grumpy, holiday-hating veterinarian into the town’s Mr. Holiday?A whole lot of Christmas fun, of course! ❤️Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely had me smiling through the holiday competition, the small-town shenanigans, and the growing connection between Eloise and Noah. Add in some adorable animals, a little mystery, and plenty of spice, and I was happily back in Evergreen Falls!🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon lead an amazing full-cast duet narration that makes this story even more fun. I seriously can’t imagine experiencing Lauren’s books any other way!If you love grumpy/sunshine Christmas romances, add this one to your holiday listening list!
I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth wall in the Kringletown books.  Make sure the sound is on so you see what I mean. Christmas Staycation by @meghanquinnbooks had me laughing out loud! Nolan is a goofy immature perv with loyal, sweet and loving acts of service, and I am totally here for it. My full review is on the blog (link in bio). Meghan has been a long time favorite author, and she just keeps reinforcing that status! Grab this Christmas romcom on audio, the full cast narration audiobook makes it a full experience you don’t want to miss!Note: this is the Walmart special edition paperback.

3 new Formula 1 romance books in October! Until th 3 new Formula 1 romance books in October!

Check my link in bio or go to my blog, there is a banner for the list on top. Is anyone at the race in Austin this weekend? I’m so jealous! I’m watching practice 1 right now. Will you be watching this weekend? Any predictions?
I work for @sawyerbennett123 so I don’t formally r I work for @sawyerbennett123 so I don’t formally rate her books, but I wanted to share some thoughts on Locke, the second in the Portland Wildfire hockey romance series. If you like Hockey romance, get on this series! I’m really enjoying starting with a brand new, just-forming team from the start. I have more thoughts on my blog (link in bio) .
Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. This movie was fascinating. It’s long and you won’t want to get up so make sure you pee, pick a comfy theater, and don’t drink your whole bucket of soda. I didn’t think I wanted to see a documentary in the theater, I was wrong. Sold out theater and nobody got up during the whole 3 hour film. Everyone in the bathroom was saying how great it was and how much they had to go the whole time lol. It still has a 98% RT score.
Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me ri Mistletoe All The Way by Lauren Blakely took me right back to the charming Christmas town of Evergreen Falls, and I loved being there again! 🎄❤️A grumpy, Christmas-hating veterinarian, a sunshine heroine who lives for the holidays, a fun Christmas competition, adorable animals, and a little mystery made this such an entertaining listen!And the full-cast duet narration led by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon? SO GOOD! Lauren Blakely’s books are made for audio, and this one is no exception.This is book 3 in the Evergreen Falls series, but it can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone. Perfect for getting into the holiday spirit! See my full review on the blog at anasattic dot com (link in bio)
I am SO EXCITED to see In A Holidaze by @christina I am SO EXCITED to see In A Holidaze by @christinalauren brought to life, especially with Rob Lowe (my lifetime crush 🤤). It releases on @netflix December 2. You can see the full trailer on either of the tagged accounts on Instagram and I will post the link on Facebook. I am loving all the book to movie adaptations so much, I can’t keep up! Who else is excited for this one?
A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now availabl A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now available on Kindle! 📚This fun, over-the-top enemies-to-lovers romcom has hilarious banter, outrageous pranks, and two rivals forced to live together for four months with no phones, internet, or outside contact! I especially loved watching the romance develop once Jade and Damon finally let their guards down.I listened to the audiobook with fantastic duet narration by Sean Masters and Brooke Bloomingdale, but now you can grab it for your Kindle, too.My full review is on the blog (link in bio)
