It's Monday! What Are You Reading? October 31, 2016

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween! I don't know what you are doing for Halloween but we will be waiting at home for the grandkiddos to come over in their cute, cute costumes. They 'trick' us by running from the front door to the back door several times—more candy that way. Ha! But we love it!

I have been so busy, especially in my reading life. I seemed to have overcommitted myself as far a reading goes and have spent October trying to get all the wonderful books in. My favorite authors need to slow down their writing so I can catch up! I had last Wednesday off work since I had to work on Saturday and I literally spent the whole day reading. Whew! I am feeling better about my reading world now though.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!

Three & Out by Laura Chapman ~ My Thoughts, a Sale, and a Giveaway!

Three & Out

Three & Out by Laura Chapman
Series: Queen of the League #3
Print and e-book
Published: October 25th 2016

After rushing to the altar and moving across the country, Harper Duquaine (or is it MacLaughlin, now?) is in uncharted territory. What once seemed like a promising opportunity to advance her husband’s career while giving her some much needed independence and adventure has proven to be a bust. By the time fall rolls around again, she’s back in a boring job by day and overstocking her inventory of crocheted scarves by night. Not even the prospect of a new football season holds much excitement.

At least that’s what she thought. Harper suddenly finds herself the manager of not one but two fantasy football teams—each with its own set of drama. Between the added pressure of her new marriage, an unexpected career prospect, and the hiccups created by people from her past and present worlds, Harper quickly finds herself going from bored to overwhelmed.

Can she hold up under the pressure, or will Harper learn the hard way that the turf isn’t always greener on the other field?

My thoughts about Three & Out ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—'Ding. I'm up. Time to draft the first player for my team. Who you pick first is an important decision if you want your fantasy football team to thrive.'

Football in the fall! One of the many reasons I love Three & Out and the whole Queen of the League series. But you don't have to be a football lover to enjoy these stories. You will fall in love with Harper and Brook, just like I did.

Each story in this series takes Harper and Brook further in their relationship. And we get to be there to watch them grow and mature, as they deepen their commitment to each other. Oh sure, they have their ups and downs, just like any other normal couple would but they eventually figure out what is important and we get to be there when they make up.

This whole series is just so wonderful and I think each book just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what comes next! Great job, Laura—I loved visiting Harper and Brook's world again. I hope we get invited back again real soon!

And Go Big Red!!  

To celebrate the new release, for a limited time,

you can pick up the first two stories

in the series for only 99¢ each.

In Laura Chapman’s Queen of the League series, Harper Duquaine joins a fantasy football league to prove she can hang with the guys. Only problem: she doesn’t know a sleeper from a keeper (or any of the other lingo thrown her way). Her competitive streak soon emerges, and she catches the interest of her top two competitors. With a slew of conflicting advice in her real and fantasy worlds, Harper must figure out how to play the game and come out a winner.
