Tea Tuesdays! (16): Today's Tea is...CRÈME CARMELLO! #SteepedTea #LovinMySteeped #LooseLeafLovin

I'm totally obsessed with tea, so every Tuesday, I'm sharing one of my favourites...and maybe sometimes something just totally awesome and tea-related.

Recently my biggest tea obsession has been loose tea! If you're new to loose tea, check out my first Tea Tuesday post and see how easy it is to brew! You can also click my "Tea Tuesdays!" button above to see my previous tea posts! :D

Today's tea is Steeped Tea's CREME CARMELLO! :D 

Crème Carmello is a Rooibos, and here's what Steeped Tea has to say about it: "Like a caramel chocolate bar, one helping is not enough!"

I love Crème Carmello!

It definitely reminds me of caramel, and because it's a rooibos it is a little sweet naturally! It's almost caffeine free...so it's perfect when you want a cup of tea later in the day, or even right before bed! I've even taken to making it into lattes...and they're delicious! :D

Are you a fan of rooibos teas?

Cover Catch-Up (18): MAGICAL!!! :D

In "Cover Catch-Up" I share some covers that have either been recently revealed, or that I've just found and really wanted to share. 

Today I have two absolutely gorgeous covers to share! They're definitely magical...and BEAUTIFUL!!! :D I'm totally smitten with them!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The first cover that I have to share today is for Rosamund Hodge's CRIMSON BOUND!

 

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COVER!!!! :D I love how it mirrors the cover of Rosamund Hodge's debut book, Cruel Beauty, with the curved staircase, red outfit, and plants mixed in it's a perfect match! It definitely looks like it has come right out of a fairytale. I also love that the red cloak makes it pretty obvious that Crimson Bound is about Red Riding Hood! :D I can't wait to read this one! And I plan to stare at this gorgeous cover many more times in the future! ;D haha

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The second cover that I have to share today is for Kelley Lynn's ONE WISH AWAY! :D

I think the cover for One Wish Away is so pretty! :D It looks magical, and makes me want to read it so bad!!! :D I love the colours and how it looks like it's glowing! The fact that the title is glowing in the sky like stars makes it even better!!! The story also sounds fantastic! :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think of these covers?
Do you think they're gorgeous like I do?

Release Day: LIFE NEXT DOOR (Love Not Included #2) byJ.D. Hollyfield! #Giveaway #Teasers

Life Next Door
by J.D. Hollyfield
Love Not Included #2
Publication Date: November 3, 2014
Genres: Contemporary, Humor, Romance

Synopsis

There is only one thing in life that professional pastry Chef Pricilla Westcott values more than baking and wine, and that’s honesty. A quality she soon learns that her marriage lacks when her husband runs off with their next door neighbor.

Divorced and alone, Priscilla is determined to make changes in her life. She decides to approach her new goals like one of her beloved recipes. Surely with a little time, a dash of patience, and measured planning she can whip herself—and her life—back into shape.

However, when a new—and utterly delicious—neighbor takes up residence in the house that ruined her marriage, Priscilla worries that her careful world will fold faster than a deflated soufflé.

Trent Walker knows what he wants and his sweet, sassy neighbor is at the top of the list. He’s certain that the chemistry between them would be explosive, but Priscilla fears that an affair with him, however hot, could be a recipe for disaster.

Addicted After All Blog Tour: The Addicted Characters Encounter an Alien Invasion!!!

As you might know, I'm a HUGE fan of Krista and Becca Ritchie's Addicted series, and I'm so excited today to be able share this awesome guest post that I have for the Addicted After All blog tour!!! :D Check it out below, and make sure you enter the fantastic giveaway that the Krista and Becca Ritchie are having for the release of Addicted After All! :D

ADDICTED AFTER ALL TOUR

THE ADDICTED CHARACTERS ENCOUNTER AN ALIEN INVASION

Throughout these tours, The Addicted Characters have been stranded on an island and have had to deal with zombies. So it’s only fitting that their next task is to encounter some aliens. These aren’t the friendliest aliens but they’re not The 5th Wave kinda aliens ready to destroy every human in their wake either. They want to co-exist with the humans, but of course, war will be had. Who will survive? Who will the Aliens want to join them? It’s time to find out.

LILY CALLOWAY

When word spread that aliens have arrived on Earth, she’d be immediately excited and the next second she would be terrified. Unless they are Roswell aliens, she’d want nothing to do with them. When the war starts, she would leave with Lo and find a bunker to hide out in. They wouldn’t “off” themselves like they would with the zombies – because there is greater chance for a peaceful existence with the aliens.

LOREN HALE

Like we said above, he’d go find a bunker with Lily. Or maybe even a secluded house. They’d hide out and stay connected with their family to learn of updates on the alien force—all while wishing their superpowers would kick in.

DAISY CALLOWAY

Daisy would be the first person to sign up for the Anti-Alien Army. Ready to fight against the Aliens and protect the country. She’d want to have some adventure and the Army would be traveling all over. It also helps that Ryke would be there too.

RYKE MEADOWS

He would be torn about leaving his brother behind or following Daisy, but ultimately (like Daisy) he wouldn’t be able to stay in one place for so long. He’d have to travel and fight for his beliefs. And he’d want to be by Daisy’s side—to keep her out of trouble and protect her from aliens (and humans).

CONNOR COBALT

The aliens would seek him out. They’d want to discuss alien-human affairs to try and start building bridges. If that didn’t work, they’d try to abduct him to keep him as one of their own.

ROSE CALLOWAY

She would go to school to learn the new Alien Language and then help Connor with intergalactic affairs. If the aliens tried to abduct her husband while in her presence—she’d kill them all.

The End.

SUMMARY
Two addicts. One epic love story. 

Prepare for the worst. 

That’s what Lily and Lo try to do when Jonathan Hale schedules an “important” meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they’re not sure what the worst is anymore. 

In a sea of many changes—including Ryke & Daisy living with them—Lily realizes that the best part of her fluctuating hormones might just be the worst. 

Her sex drive is out of control. 

Loren knows that she’s insatiable, but he’s not giving up on her. She’s too much a part of him. And as he carries more and more responsibility, some of the people that he loves doubt his resolve. 

In the conclusion to their love story, Lily & Lo stand side-by-side to fight, one last time, for their happily ever after.

Waiting on Wednesday(31): Quarterback Draw by Jaci Burton!! #SportsRomance #JaciBurton #PlayByPlay

 

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It gives us the chance to fangirl over all of the books that we can't wait to read!

QUARTBACK DRAW (Play by Play #9) 

by JACI BURTON

Hitting the shelves on February 3, 2015 from Berkeley Trade

Playing For Keeps

Grant Cassidy knows how to be a football star—flash that dazzling smile, throw the winning pass, get the girl. But while the hot quarterback loves the game and the lifestyle, no woman has come close to catching his heart. Then he matches wits with a smart, gorgeous model, and Grant finds himself wanting more than a fling.

Supermodel Katrina Koslova might live in a world of glitz and camera flashes, but she works hard to provide for the family that relies on her. She doesn’t have time for fun—much less a boyfriend—but Grant seems determined to be the exception to Katrina’s rule.

Their explosive chemistry is undeniable, but Katrina’s afraid to let go and rely on anyone but herself. Grant intends to ease her fears and prove he’s a man of style and substance

MY THOUGHTS

I'm a HUGE fan of Jaci Burton's Play by Play series, and I'm super excited for Quarterback Draw! :D I'm pretty much always ridiculously excited for any books in this series though...I honestly just can't get enough! haha 

Anyone else super excited for Quarterback Draw?

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?
