#12DaysofBooks Reading Challenge!

Welcome to day one of the #12DaysofBooks Challenge!

Starting today till December 31st, the goal is to read 12 MUST READ books!

We are always adding books to our TBR pile, but never actually getting to read them. This month I plan on reading 12 books that I am dying to read. December is going to be the month that I get completely lost in fantasy. 

I invite you all to join us! It's simple!

Pick 12 books you will read this month. They can be books in any genre that are upcoming releases, books previously released, ARCs, etc. As long as it's on your TBR. 

Each time you start and finish a book on your list share a status on whatever social media platform you are a member of (or blog post) using the hashtag #12DaysofBooks. This way we can all follow along and maybe discover a bunch of new books. 

If you'd like, you can share a blog post about the challenge and share your link below. I would love to check out your list of books! 

Here is my list of books (in no particular order) for the month of December:

1. Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis

2. Endless Knight by Kresley Cole

3. The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey

4. The Valiant by Lesley Livingston 

5. Empress of A Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza

6. Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray

7. Entice by Jessica Shirvington

8. The Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine

9. Crystal Storm by Morgan Rhodes

10. Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

11. Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder 

12. Wings of Arian by Devri Wells

There you have it! 

I am currently reading GIVEN TO THE SEA by Mindy McGinnis now. It took me a bit to really get into it, but now I am hooked and cannot wait to finish reading it! 

If you have any questions at all feel free to e-mail me Damaris@goodchoicereading.com

I will have a couple of giveaways going on all month long, so make sure to check back! :)


Happy Holidays!

Release: May 17, 2016

Publisher: Month9Books

The people of Nelebek live in fear of persecution from the evil Morlet, who reigns with a dark and destructive magic. The kingdom’s only hope lies with the Order of the Krigers—twelve warriors with mysterious powers linked to magical weapons.

For over a century, Morlet has been annihilating the Order, picking them off one by one. Eleven Krigers have been hunted down, tortured, and imprisoned in his dungeon. Now, only one remains.

Sixteen-year-old Kaia survives by keeping her head down and minding her own business. But when she finds herself in the middle of a public execution where the mysterious Morlet is in attendance, an odd compulsion she can’t resist comes over her.

Kaia looks into Morlet’s eyes.

Soon, an ancient power awakens and Kaia can no more blend into the scenery. Will she heed the call of the Krigers or will Morlet’s dark magic destroy the last of the Order?

Release Blitz: Truth & Temptation by Riley Edgewood & Giveaway!

She's a liar. He knows the truth.
Teagan Walker gets around. Ask anyone—hell, ask her. She'll own it with a smile. But beneath that smile is a girl whose parents didn't want her. Whose grandparents raised her without affection. Whose struggle with a burning anger threatens to consume her, though she'd rather punch someone in the face than talk about it. With a new job looming, she's determined to work her way into a better life. When she meets the sexiest guy she's ever seen, she decides to kick it off with a bang. And she makes her move.

But he's got moves of his own, and before the night is out, he strips her of way more than she means to reveal—without removing a single piece of clothing. That comes, too, of course. He's gotten under her skin like nobody before him, and what's the harm in one night with a sexy stranger? Exposed or not, she never has to see him again.

Except she does.

On Monday morning, they come face-to-face. He's the son of her new CEO—and he threatens to bring her entire world crashing down, making her face every lie she's ever told.

EXCERPT

"We should talk," he says, his tone serious enough to cancel out the pride I felt for my own a few seconds ago.

"About?" I keep my gaze on his for approximately half a second before I can't take it anymore and I study the mug in my hands instead. Tall and blue, ceramic. Probably not dishwasher safe.

"Last night."

My chest tightens. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who'll be pissed we didn't bang… But I don't strike him as the type of girl who's named Teagan. We all have our secrets.

"Listen," I say. "About that… Sorry I passed out. I don't usually make promises I can't keep."

"You didn't make me any promises last night." His voice is sharp, and I can't help but look up. There's a muscle clenched in his jaw, his sexy, sexy shadowed jaw. "You don't owe me—or anyone else—anything."

"No shit." I don't get where he's going with this, or why.

I'm not sure he does either, because it takes him a few moments—and a few sips of coffee—to speak again.

"You told me—wait." He breaks off, shaking his head, and nervousness swirls into panic in the pit of my stomach. I told him what? A fake name? Does he know? When he looks at me again, his gaze is so direct it's startling. "You don't even know my real name. Let's start there."

Oh my God, he does want to discuss names. He knows I lied.

Should I tell him the truth? Laugh it off like I thought he knew I was joking?

He walks toward me and my stomach clenches for too many reasons to name.

I grip my coffee mug like it'll shield me from any awkwardness.

It's not working.

At all.

And then he's in front of me, watching me so studiously I slide a hand across my face in case there's something stuck there.

"I'm Alec," he says, sticking out his hand. I check for, but don't find, any scars on this one.

Don't tell me, is what I mean to say. But what slips out is, "I thought the girl last night called you Alex?"

"Probably to irritate me. We hold no particular fondness for one another." He says it casually, like it weighs nothing in his mind. Still, I wonder why—and am tempted to ask—but then he continues with, "Anyway. I'm Alec Chambers."

And his full name echoes through my brain, bouncing around and, instead of fading, growing louder with every iteration.

It's officially worse.

So. Much. Worse.

I know his name.

I know who he is.

"Cool." I take his hand, offering the limpest shake of my life and letting go as soon as possible. "Do you have any headache meds or anything?" I gulp my coffee so fast it scalds my throat. "Got a crucial hangover."

Got a crucial hangover? What am I? Some teenage surfer? Why don't I throw up a hang ten sign while I'm at it?

But he takes the bait. "Probably somewhere upstairs—I'll go check."

I don't even wait for the relief to hit. I get the hell out of his condo the second he's far enough away not to hear his door shut.

The glass elevator seems so much more appropriate this morning. Almost like the universe is handing me a dose of the snide sarcasm I use so spectacularly on my own. Everything I wanted to keep hidden is about to be made clear, whether I like it or not.

Fuck.

I went after a fairy tale, but I didn't get it—and the stupid fucking clock just struck twelve anyway. Here's my Cinderella moment, fleeing before I return to tatters before his eyes.

But this time, the prince won't need a glass slipper to find me.

Because Alec Chambers?

His father is the CEO of Chambers & Britt.

I know this for a fact because my starting position at the company is to be the second assistant to the CEO's son, while he's home for the summer, studying for his MBA from fucking Harvard. And that son's name? Yep. It's Alec Chambers.

I'll see him again on Monday.

400L.B. Gorilla by D.C. Farmer Blog Tour & Giveaway!

KEEP UP WITH THE BLOG TOUR >>> HERE <<<

Matt Danmor thinks he's lucky. Not many people survive a near death accident with nothing more than a bout of amnesia, a touch of clumsiness and the conviction that the technician who did the MRI had grey skin and hooves. Still, it takes time to recover from trauma like that, especially when the girl who was in the accident with you disappears into thin air. Especially when the shrinks keep telling you she's just a figment of your imagination. So when the girl turns up months later looking ravishing, and wanting to carry on where they left off, Matt's troubled life starts looking up. But he hasn't bargained for the baggage that comes with Silvy, like the fact she isn't really an English language student, or even a girl. Underneath her traffic stopping exterior is something else altogether, something involving raving fanatics bent on human sacrifice, dimensionally challenged baked bean tins, a vulture with a penchant for profanity, and a security agent for the Dept of Fimmigration (that's Fae immigration for those of you not in the know) called Kylah with the most amazing gold-flecked eyes The 400 Lb Gorilla is caustic, (vampire-free) introduction to the Hipposync Archives: Contemporary fantasy at its sparkling best.
