Ambrosia’s little note:

I want to thank everyone who participated last week and for the kind comments about the new look of the blog. It’s been kinda fun to revamp things a bit. .

I do want to note one thing about when you don’t see your comment come up right away. I have software that looks for spam comments and will automatically put them in Spam. Sometimes the software isn’t sure about a comment so it will place it into the pending spot, which means I have to manually go through and approve it or mark it as spam. This pending spot is where posts that don’t appear right away are. I check in as much as I can to approve as fast as I can, but somedays I can’t be glued to my computer. Trust me if I didn’t have this spam software on, there would be thousands of pointless comments weighing down the blog.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Welcome to Tuesday again. You may be looking around and noticing a bit of a change to the theme here. I am still doing some tweaks and adding bits back in but for the most part, Welcome to the new look of The Purple Booker. I hope you like it, I felt it was a bit cleaner and more modern to go this route. I still have a few little tricks up my sleeve though. I had hoped to have everything done by today but there have been a few delays.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday! There is my impression of the Sunday, Sunday, Sunday guy, meanwhile people have run for the hills. LOL. I hope everyone is well this week and life is treating you kindly. Similarly, has anyone else noticed the year fly by? Firstly, its hard to believe it is May already! Secondly, I had a birthday Saturday and it took that for me to really pause for a moment. Consequently, I then went, wow where has the year gone so far? Above all, I also pulled out the trusty Wonder Woman planner and made a big note to self, that says remember to enjoy yourself more.

I often have a hard time remembering to take time away from the hustle and stress of things, and remember to do self care things. Self care things of course which include read more. I used to “chew through” books so fast, now I feel bad for my TBR and even my currently reading books sometimes, because they don’t get the attention they deserve.

Sorry if that got a little heavy for Tuesday, what can I say I start babbling sometimes when the time comes to prepare this post for everyone. One step I took to take a baby step towards more ME time was to pop on one of my favorite Audio books while I’m working, and while I have read/listened to this series a lot I still adore it every time I dive in and I am always happy when I get to share a teaser from this series.

What a weekend this last one was. Between Endgame and Game of Thrones, WOW! Don’t worry this is a totally spoiler free zone right here, but Wow! Amazing on all accounts. Talk about epic all around. I can’t help but wonder if the battle of winterfell will end up as good in the book since GOT the show is ahead of the books now, lol. Life is still hectic so not as far along on my reads as I would like, alas nothing new but hopefully in the next month or so that will change.

Hello Tuesday my old friend. I hope everyone is having a good week thus far and that your weekend wasn’t to tough. Still working on turning lemons into lemonade for my part, but things are a little better then they have been. A bonus is this week Avengers Endgame comes out, something my little fan girl heart has been eagerly waiting for, even though I know emotionally it is going to make me a train wreck. LOL.

Tuesday is here again. I hope everyone is having a good week so far and had a good week last week. I know it doesn’t always seem like it, because life is giving me lots of lemons to make lemonade with right now and I don’t have the time I wish I did for blogging like I used too. BUT, I really do love this blog and community. I look forward to making this post every week, I truly do. I read every reply and check out everyone’s teasers, even if I don’t manage to reply to everyone because of time. I just wanted to let you guys know that I do look and I do enjoy being able to host this weekly post.

Last week ended up being a bit of a train wreck for me, but that’s okay, it happens. New week new chance to work on some more goals. Like getting back to my reviews here. I have so many to catch up on! Ack! Anyways I am still playing juggle with several of my reads, lol. To relax a little bit this week I have visited an old friend while waiting on the new novel to come out.

Welcome back my fellow book friends. It is already April. Wow. Is it just me or is that a little bit insane and the year is just flying on by? Last month was a rough one, with the passing of my friends Gran who was like another Gran to me. The loss really hit me harder then I thought it would. I am finding my way out of the woods with that one though. Still crocheting like a mad person though. Phoenix comic con is now less then 2 months away and I feel like I will never have enough stock for my vendor table. Ack! I am looking forward to the event though. I wish I could get into audio books more, or I wish I would stop forgetting to set my kindle to read to me while I try not to laugh at the robotic voice. Alas, I will just have to slightly bore you with another teaser from one of my 4 current reads. *insert facepalm emojoi here* I won’t bore you with the story how it got to me so many since I usually try to read just one book at a time, lol.

Book Review: Nappily Ever After (Nappily #1) by Trisha R. Thomas

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

What happens when you toss tradition out the window and really start living for yourself?

Venus Johnston has a great job, a beautiful home, and a loving live-in boyfriend named Clint, who happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor. She also has a weekly beauty-parlor date with Tina, who keeps Venus’s long, processed hair slick and straight. But when Clint–who’s been reluctant to commit over the past four years–brings home a puppy instead of an engagement ring, Venus decides to give it all up. She trades in her long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends Clint packing.

It’s a bold declaration of independence–one that has effects she never could have imagined. Reactions from friends and coworkers range from concern to contempt to outright condemnation. And when Clint moves on and starts dating a voluptuous, long-haired beauty, Venus is forced to question what she really wants out of life. With wit, resilience, and a lot of determination, she finally learns what true happiness is–on her own terms. Told with style, savvy, and humor, Nappily Ever After is a novel that marks the debut of a fresh new voice in fiction.
