My Kind of Wonderful (Cedar Ridge #2) by Jill Shalvis
UNEXPECTED AND UNDENIABLE…
Bailey Moore has an agenda: skiing in the Rockies, exploring castles in Europe, ballroom dancing in Argentina. Now that she has a second lease on life, she’s determined not to miss a thing. What she doesn’t realize is that item #1 comes with a six-foot-one ski god hot enough to melt a polar ice cap. She doesn’t want to miss out on him either, but Hudson Kincaid isn’t the type of guy to love and let go. And as gorgeous as Cedar Ridge is, she’s not planning to stick around.
As head of ski patrol at his family’s resort, Hud thinks he’s seen it all. But never has he run into someone like Bailey. She might look delicate, but her attitude is all firecracker. And her infectious joy touches something deep within him that he’s been missing far too long. Now he’ll just have to convince Bailey to take a chance on her biggest adventure yet . . . something rare and all kinds of wonderful.

Close Enough to Touch (Jackson Hole #1) by Victoria Dahl
Can a city girl make it in the wild, wild West?
For makeup artist Grace Barrett, Hollywood isn’t the land of golden opportunity. It’s the land of difficult divas, cheating boyfriends and unemployment. So when her great-aunt offers her a free place to stay in Jackson Hole, Grace thinks she’ll spend a little time in the sticks to figure out her life, and then move somewhere exciting to live out her dreams. But it turns out that there are a few more thrills in this small town than Grace was expecting….
Cole Rawlins is a rugged Wyoming cowboy born and bred. Yet he can’t help but be drawn to the fascinating big-city girl who moves in across from him. He wants to get close enough to Grace to see past her tough facade, but if he does, she might see the real Cole. The one with a Hollywood history gone bad. As they discover a sizzling attraction, it becomes harder for him to keep his demons at bay-and those fires from long ago may burn them both.
They’ll need more than scorching-hot passion to make this opposites-attract affair work. But if they can learn to trust one another enough to reveal their secrets, they just might have a chance at forever.

I had completely forgotten about a gift card I received for my birthday in March… so it was like a second birthday when I went to the bookstore with my 100.- to get some physical books.

Feel good bags and a good mix of physical books. Your gift went towards a good cause, lol
Yes, it definitely did! And it’s been a very long time since I bought a physical book that wasn’t for school!
I always love getting physical books. I hope you enjoy all of your new books this week.
Grace @ Books of Love
I usually go with kindle books, so that I can have all the books in my bag wherever I go 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Grace.
What a great haul! I’m dying to read My Kind of Wonderful! Happy reading 🙂
I couldn’t wait for that one either, Danielle, and I already read it! It was awesome 🙂
I’ve got The Girl on the Train on my tbr as an e-book I think…it sounded kind of intriguing. Hope you enjoy all your books!
It does sound intriguing, and I’m really looking forward to reading it, Chuckles!
The Rest of Us Just Live Here! Much love for that book! ♥ And I also really want The Martian.
I’m glad you enjoyed The Rest of Us Just Live Here, Stephanie. I find the concept of that story so intriguing – we almost always read about those characters who fight the monsters, so I’m looking forward to reading about the ‘normal’ people who just happen to live there 🙂
Oooh nice! Those are pretty much new to me reads! Hope you enjoy each and every one of them!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I’ve already read my e-books, Jessica, and I loved them 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve seen a couple of those books. But the want I really want to read is The Martian since everyone seems to love the book AND the movie!!
I know, that’s one of the reasons I just had to pick up The Martian, Karina 🙂
Looks like you got a great haul this week! I loved the Martian and Girl on the Train looks good.
I really look forward to all of my new physical books – I’ve already read the e-books 😀
Both your review books look good. Can you believe I still haven’t read either author? Some day.
YAY for a found gift card. What a nice surprise, and you got some good books, enjoy!
Oh my goodness, Bea! I love both Dahl and Shalvis – their contemporary romances are just right for me 😀
And yes, finding that hidden gift-card was amazing 🙂
You got some good one. Patrick Ness’ new one is on my want list. Happy Halloween and reading 😉
Thanks 🙂 I do look forward to all of these, but maybe especially Ness’ book.

I hope you enjoy The Martian as much as I did. I’m not familiar with any of the other. I got several new audios for review: Dark Heart of Magic by Jennifer Estep, Lion and the Falcon by Eve Langlais, Hungry Like the Wolf and Wolf Trouble by Paige Tyler, and last but not least, Reap the Wind by Karen Chance.
Oh my goodness, Melanie, I forgot to add my audio ARC for Reap the Wind… I only downloaded it late last night, so I’ll make sure to include it next week 🙂
I really enjoyed The Girl On The Train! It kept me guessing, which is unusual for a book and made it all the more enjoyable 🙂 I hope you enjoy it too. The Martian has been on my wishlist for a while, though now I’m tempted to watch the movie as it had such good reviews…but books! I’m torn hehe.
A good mystery has to keep me guessing, if not I’ll just be upset, Natalie 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
many new books to me! I hope you’ll enjoy them all my friend! Have a nice sunday!
Thank you, Melliane 🙂 I’ve already enjoyed two of them 😉
Great haul this week! I recently read and really loved The Martian, that book made me laugh so much. I hope you enjoy all of your books.
Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookworm
I think I’ll read The Martian when I allow myself a break from essay-writing this week, Charnell 😀

I need The Martian! I loved the movie a lot! I wasn’t a big fan of The Girl on the Train since it was a tad predictable and it was slow but that was just me. Hopefully you enjoy it 🙂
I haven’t seen the movie – I’m totally out of the loop when it comes to movies lately. I hope I’ll find The Girl on the Train less predictable than you did, Gen 🙂
Woohoo! The Martian. Hope you fall in love with it like I did.
I sure hope so, too, Jennifer!
You have a handful of awesome and good looking books here! So many genres and beautiful covers! Happy reading and can’t wait to see what you think about them! 🙂
Yes, I love it when I manage to mix up my genres, it makes my reading-heart very happy 🙂
Jax read The Martian and loved it, Lex. I hope you do as well. 🙂 And I’m glad you gave yourself the gift of some physical books…I have to admit that holding a physical book in my hands makes me pretty happy. 😉 Ooh, I want to read The Girl on the Train myself. I’ve heard so many good things about it – I wonder how it will compare to Gone Girl… Happy reading, my friend!
**BIG HUGS**
I’m really looking forward to The Martian as well as my other physical books. I agree, holding a physical book in my hands does make me happy, it sometimes also make the muscles in my wrists hurt *grins* because I’m so used to the weight of my kindle 😀
Thanks for stopping by, my dear!
Yay for Shalvis! Love her and can’t wait for that one 😀
My Kind of Wonderful was so good, Anna! I loved it 🙂 If you’re a Shalvis fan, you’re up for a treat 🙂

I have The Martian on audio and Girl on a Train lent to me, but haven’t begun either of them. One day. Hope you enjoy all your new books 🙂
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too, Lorna. One day 🙂
Oooh… the Martian! I hope you like that one!
