Jackpot! (2024) Review

In a near future California a ‘Grand Lottery’ had been established with a bit of a crazy rule, the winner can be killed legally before sundown and the person who does it can claim the multi-billion dollar jackpot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Jackpot! (2024) Review

I honestly like both series. The original one and the "Spin off" or whatever you want to call it.

Book Chat: Shannon Mayer

If you've read UF/ PNR, you've probably heard of Shannon Mayer...it's time to dedicate a book chat to this author!

Shannon Mayer definitely tops the list for many urban fantasy & paranormal romance readers as an immediate buy (something most of us aspire to be). I must admit that I’ve read a few myself and recommended them. While waiting on Book 3 of her Golden Wolf series, I started on an older series, Rylee Adamson. The usual book basics are below to start our chat. If you’re new to my Books & Cats blog…

Shadowspell Academy - L'incantesimo dell'ombra VOL.1 |  Shannon Mayer e K.F. Breene

“Il giorno in cui l’uomo più pericoloso che avessi mai incontrato si è presentato alla nostra fattoria per consegnarci una condanna a morte sotto forma di invito, non avevo idea che quelle parole avrebbero potuto cambiare la mia vita. Mio fratello minore è stato scelto per entrare nella prestigiosa e segretissima scuola di magia, la Shadowspell Academy, nascosta tra le pieghe del nostro mondo. È…

The books that don’t have a link are ones I know exist but I couldn’t find on internet archive/other searching.

If you have any links to these missing books, or books that I don’t have PLEASE lmk. Or if you have higher quality or pdf links (since some of the books are just screenshots of pages that I put together on a doc…)

The last two books in the once upon a twist series don’t exist.. they were cancelled or only a few copies were made (and those who have them aren’t saying anything). But I’m hoping to find them somehow if I have to message perdita finn myself. I believe there are a few chapters up somewhere so I’ll try to compile all that’s available

Any title that is coloured with a link means I don’t have a pdf or full copy yet but I have a preview

Because this is getting so much attention make sure to check my pinned post that has more eah resources!!

There are also diaries that went along with the dolls that you can find on @everafterhigharchive’s page who is also responsible for most of the links here

(Also one of my interconnect libraries has meet Crystal Winter so I’ll upload that onto internet archive + add it on here once it ships)

• ARC Review: Claimed by Fate •

After getting sucked in by Taken by Fate and caught up in Hunted by Fate, I am very pleased to say that Claimed by Fate – the final installment in the first Alpha Territories trilogy – serves up emotional arcs and action and spice in equal measure while also (mostly, but not entirely!) resolving Dominic and Sienna’s story, as well as setting up other stories in this world.

There are a few threads that I think were (purposefully?) left hanging – the biggest of which is *why* Sienna was dreaming of Dominic before she met him and whether they are truly fated mates. The latter is probably less important, but I’d still like to know! And perhaps the question about dreams will be answered in the spin-off series, which is coming soon.

If you haven’t jumped into these books yet, they are very fast reads that are incredibly bingeable – and with Claimed by Fate coming out soon, you can gobble these fun, spicy books up without worrying (too much, at least) about cliffhangers.

Which means it’s now time for me to find another vampire series to dig into!

2.5🌶️

🧛‍♂️A huge thank you to Shannon Mayer and her team for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy! Claimed by Fate will be out on May 31st.🐴

LEGENDS OF GUITAR: The Man . . The Myth . . The Guitar. Johnny Winter was the first white Texas bluesman to make it on a big scale. In 1968, he released his first album, The Progressive Blues Experiment. Soon after Johnny met the Chicago Blues guitarist Michael Bloomfield, who invited Winter to join him and Al Kooper on stage at the Fillmore East during a December 1968 performance. Columbia Records officials at the show were very impressed and signed Johnny to a very large advance, $600,000. Johnny Winter’s first Columbia Records release was logically titled Johnny Winter and included the same personnel as The Progressive Blues Experiment; bassist Tommy Shannon, drummer Uncle John Turner, and Edgar Winter on keyboards and saxophone. It was a major success. Second Winter followed in 1969 plus great success in concerts – and an affair with Janis Joplin – that led to an historic Madison Square Garden concert. Winter went on to play in the Muddy Waters Band and paired with just about every top Blues artist of the 1970s and 80s. Three albums produced by Winter for Muddy Waters, Hard Again (1977), I'm Ready (1978), and Muddy "Mississippi" Waters – Live (1979) have won Grammy Awards. Several of Winter’s own albums were also nominated for Grammy Awards and in 1988, he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.

Decades on from his death, Stevie Ray Vaughan is still being discovered by new generations. In the decades since his passing, SRV’s impact on the music scene has become more and more pronounced. His influence – his searing guitar style, eloquent songwriting and consummate musicianship – is undeniable on the new generation of blues rockers like Joe Bonamassa, Philip Sayce and John Mayer, while his classic albums such as Texas Flood and Couldn’t Stand The Weather are now justifiable stalwarts of the blues canon. His music seemed to unite everyone: tattooed Chicano bikers, besuited lawyers and crystal-carrying New Agers. The sound of Stevie Ray’s stinging Strat and gritty voice went directly to the hearts of the huddled masses. You see, that old blues adage is true: What goes around comes around . . May their memory endure.

A career ending from the industry dying, aging out (sports especially), relocation, or early retirement.

The Midnight Bounty Hunter series by Shannon Mayer is both post-Big Relationship and unlocking skills.

Dick Francis's novels are all about new jockeys finding their careers, old jockeys finding new careers, or jockeys coming out of trauma with stronger lives.

In @tkingfisher's horror novels The Twisted Ones, The Hollow Places, and A House with Good Bones, the 30-something heroines are rebuilding their lives while confronting cosmic horrors. Her Paladin/Saint of Steel series is about living and finding happiness and yourself after your life's purpose literally dies.

Lana Harper's Witches of Thistle Grove series is adult women finding their power and themselves and community. And queer romance.

Leverage is adult coming of age for the whole team, even Hardison. One could argue the team is Nate's pet.

Julia Child is a real life example in two ways! First, she took a cooking class in France and launched her cookbook career. Then she made a community cooking program on WGBH Boston and was so good at it she became a national sensation.

Murderbot figures out what it wants other than watching the feed.

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?

Old folks sound off in the comments
