Debbie: Another great story from Abbi Glines. Love Micah. Just wish she wouldn’t release them in the middle of the week. It is really hard to get any work done.
Sari: Is this an mc book?
Debbie: this story is about a MC, But you should start with Smokeshow. Southern mafia series. The characters from that series make appearances in this book also. And she releases the next book every two months.
Okay and in other news… I JUST GOT MARRIED!!! 😀 I got married on Valentine’s Day and it was the most fun, magical, amazing day (let alone Valentine’s Day) ever.
It was supposed to be just a quick, private/personal union, but we ended up being surrounded by amazing happy couples everywhere. Sunshine, blue skies and a day by the beach. So much love and happiness, and it turned out to be a perfect wedding day!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE STEPHEN KING STORIES EVER!!
The Long Walk
ONE OF MY FAVORITE STEPHEN KING STORIES EVER!! And it’s on sale today, and here is my 5-STAR book review.
“…Against the wishes of his mother, sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping…with the winner being awarded “The Prize”—anything he wants for the rest of his life.
But, as part of this national tournament that sweeps through a dystopian America year after year, there are some harsh rules that Garraty and ninety-nine others must adhere to in order to beat out the rest.
There is no finish line—the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit and you’re given a warning. Three warnings and you’re out of the game—permanently…”
