Maid of Tarts Review of

Up By Five

by Erin Nicholas

This is one of those stories that you wait for with bated breath, devour as soon as it’s available and then cry and yell when you realize that you’ve just read the last book in a wonderful series.  You ask yourself “what no more?” Nope the guys and gals you have come to love have all told you their stories, you ask “are you sure?” Let me check, just in case you may have missed one (extremely doubtful and highly improbable) but still you look and you realize this journey has indeed come to an end (sigh).

Marigny Street

by Annie Rose Welch

Marigny Street. I am not even sure how to begin telling you about this story… It’s a love story. It has a paranormal flavor… It’s unexpected and rather unusual and yet… I was completely enveloped. I read it in one sitting. And a day later I’m still thinking about Eva and Gabriel’s story.

I finished reading Marigny Street by Annie Rose Welch earlier today and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. *sigh* Marigny Street is one of the most beautiful, lyrical, poetic and romantic stories I have ever read… Seriously!

I was re-reading and highlighting passages and dreaming and picturing this story unfolding in my imagination. Eva and Gabriel’s love story has captured my heart. Click HERE for my review.

Enjoy the excerpt and make sure you enter Annie’s contest too. I hope Marigny Street stirs your curiosity and you give this magical journey and try too.

Google Giggle Hangout

with Aaron M. Ritchey!

 *Snoopy Dance* Yay!!! I am so ecstatic to welcome Aaron back to The Book Tart! We met a few years ago and I love his storytelling, dark, sardonic and shot though with hope. I savored his newest young adult novel Long Live The Suicide King and I’m looking forward to the next story he chooses to tell. I hope you grab a donut and settle in for our chat and then go get his books! Read more →

ooooo becoming a monster wasn’t the plan. I am so intrigued by Nely Cab’s Creatura series and the cover for her upcoming release Fruit Of Misfortune is what made me read more about her paranormal YA world. I want to learn more about Isis and her journey… Take a look at the cover and see if it peaks your interest too.

The Tartan MP3

by C.A. Szarek

 I love time travel romances. C.A. Szarek’s new story The Tartan MP3 Player was short, sweet and sexy, and just what I needed on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I giggled at the pop culture references and sighed at the steam. It’s a fast paced adventure and it made me eager for more books in the Highland Secrets series.

Happy Book Birthday to Magan Vernon! *Kermit Flail* Cupcakes and confetti for her new release Fight For You and for the Mafia prince who has to fight for his girl. The tag line “All Nicky has ever wanted to do was fight. Now all he has to do is fight for her.”  made me sigh. I am intrigued by Nicky and Jackie and want to meet them!

Google Giggle Hangout

and 1 month old book birthday

with Nico Rosso!

I had another playdate with Nico Rosso! *Kermit flail* He’s darling and well… I love his book Slam Dance With The Devil so I gush. BUT- between my gushing we chat about how he writes and about his Demon Rock series and what he does for his book birthdays and a super cool hobby he has and how he feels about the ebook vs. print debate. He ROCKS! just like his books. Enjoy!
