One of my many goals this year: finish books I started reading in 2016. Yes books, apparently there's just so many! Not counting the ebooks since these are just the signed paperbacks I've been trying to carry with me, inhale the smell of the pages, sigh in contentment, admire the book, and dream of all the things I could do. Reading a paperback is quite distracting!

Also, I've been trying to read books that aren't my usual read, and something out of my comfort zone. I guess I wanted to explore to new things and fresh ideas or information I haven't read before. Or just might be the the fact that my horoscope said my love life for this year will be in hibernation. Fucking horoscope.

Motherhood. It’s one of life’s journeys that some of us choose to partake in. It’s a crazy ride, full of ups and downs and in-betweens.

I have three beautiful children who keep me on my toes, and a husband who lets me pick his brain for my book ideas. I am an author, book review blogger and proof-reader. I love to read and discover new authors, and share them with the world :) Oh, and did I mention, I also write a food blog in my spare time. Self-confessed foodie right here!

A Bedtime Story is an erotic thriller. It is a love story, not a romance. Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger and acts as the backstory to Book 2 & 3.  Laura Spencer. Young, pretty, introverted. She worked at a local deli, where she left more broken plates than collected tips. Apologizing to aggravated waiters and cowering from overfriendly male clients made up most of her social interaction. The only friends she had lived inside the pages of books or on movie screens, offering slim comfort during the long, dark nights of her lonely life. Every two weeks, a postcard was delivered through her mail. She lived for those deliveries. Peter Spencer. Her brother, her lifelong protector and her only family. The only one who truly knew her, who would sacrifice it all for her. Peter made a bad decision, involving the worst kind of people. Kayne Malkin. Tall, dark and handsome. He belonged to the Organization, the Quebec fraction of a ruthless Russian Mafia. He was known for many things. He killed and tortured for a living. He seduced and destroyed for pleasure. But above all else, he built his reputation on one trait only. Kayne Malkin never lied. Not to the men he interrogated, not to the women he set his sights on. He got what he wanted, while staring them in the eye. Honest and remorseless. Kayne Malkin’s assignment: The Peter Spencer case. On the first warm spring night, while Montreal celebrated the passing of winter, Laura reluctantly accepted to accompany a coworker out on the town. Kayne smirked by himself seeing her arrive, all dolled up, looking uncomfortable. Lurking in the shadows, he patiently waited. The trap was set.

This blog is all about BOOKS and Me.



So, apparently, this week I haven't done much reading. In fiction books, I mean. Considering I do read every waking moment I have. But when your mind is running a thousand miles a minute, well, reading should be your happy place.



But, I can't just let RL be forgotten and live for the rest of my life in books. So, of course I decided to focus first in some aspects of my life that keeps me fed and well, other priority.



Anyway, I've been searching for some articles about human resource and I can't decide which is which that I want. I wanted short and simple, something I could ponder upon. And finally, finally. I have manage to stumble upon this: 3 Destructive Employee Syndromes No Boss Can Tolerate.



And you know what? Reading and being a reviewer is so much a big help to my RL. Because What do you know, I understand better what Money Laundering is because of this mafia books I've read.



And what do you know, more knowledge on financial derivatives, software accounting and backdoor investigative stuff. I mean, hell, I am sleeping in class if these matters are being discussed and I just laughed you know? Imagine me being all smug about this in class, and no ones the wiser that I've read and learned all this in fiction books?



So, going back on the main point of the article I'm sharing, this will actually be a breeze to me. Why? It's not as if I don't read thousand pages of fiction books and not be able to make a review. And analysis and critique is so much like it.



I jut love being a reviewer, don't you think?
