Review of Meet Me At Midnight by Jessica Pennington

They have a love-hate relationship with summer.

Sidney and Asher should have clicked. Two star swimmers forced to spend their summers on a lake together sounds like the perfect match. But it's the same every year--in between cookouts and boat rides and family-imposed bonfires, Sidney and Asher spend the dog days of summer finding the ultimate ways to prank each other. And now, after their senior year, they're determined to make it the most epic summer yet. 

But their plans are thrown in sudden jeopardy when their feud causes their families to be kicked out of their beloved lake houses. Once in their new accommodations, Sidney expects the prank war to continue as usual. But then she gets a note--Meet me at midnight. And Asher has a proposition for her: join forces for one last summer of epic pranks, against a shared enemy--the woman who kicked them out. 

Their truce should make things simpler, but six years of tormenting one another isn't so easy to ignore. Kind of like the undeniable attraction growing between them.

My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because I was in the mood for a nice summer romance, I was not disappointed, the characters were engaging from the first word, I adored the set up, and loved how the two complimented each other in characterisation, but also stood on their own with their own likes and dislikes. I ended up reading this in one sitting because I had to know how it all ended. I loved both Asher and Sidney and was rooting for them both to get together. Overall, a wonderfully written book and I highly recommend it!

Breaking Down My Day: Run Up To Release

BREAKING DOWN MY DAY: RUN UP TO RELEASE
I did a break down of my day when it comes to writing (piece found here), so I thought I would continue along and talk about my days when it comes to the run up to release. I know that a lot of people don't realise just how much work goes on behind the scenes when it comes to releasing a book, so I'm gonna give you a little glimpse of that!

07:00-09:00
This is usually when I wake up and do the same stuff that I do every day whether it's release or not. The only difference here is that I'll be posting on social media with info geared towards the pre-order, the pre-order SWAG and everything that goes along with that. I'll be posting something, depending on the day, that highlights I have a book coming out soon, and where to grab hold of it. The most obvious of these are #TeaserTuesday posts where I share a teaser for the upcoming book, these are posted both on Instagram and other socials, as well as on my blog with an image description, and on Tumblr as well. This usually takes me a good couple of hours to get done.

09:30-12:30
I will usually get my writing done here. Sometimes writing stops for releases, but other times it doesn't. I have revisions to get done, chapters to write and all the rest, so no matter when it is, I'm doing something work related for this portion of the day. It's in bits and pieces since I have other things that need to get done alongside it all, but I'm actually pretty good at multi-tasking and managing to write here, and do promo there and not get the two mixed up.

13:00-14:00
This is my down time, yes I have it every day at some stage of another, but because releases are that much more hands on, I find that if I don't take an hour for myself, then I will end up getting burnt out and super stressed, and no one wants that, especially not me. I'll spend this time either chatting with a friend or taking a nap, sometimes it's longer than an hour, it really does just depend.

15:00-17:00
Here's where I'll get the admin stuff ready for the next day. I try to shut down at around 17:00 simply because I am chronically ill and I can't keep going non stop. So this'll be when I'm making posts in Canva and getting them ready for the next day's posting. It'll be when I schedule posts for my blog, or chase up other factors, like people doing release day stuff, and emails that've come in. All of it needs to fit into the day, so it all gets put around here because the majority of bloggers and such that I work with aren't in my time zone, so I have to stay up a little later to get hold of them at a decent time.

17:00-19:00
I am, usually, off work at 17:00, but I have found that from time to time, I'm needing to get a few emergency bits and pieces done. This can be earlier in the run up, edits that need to be looked at right away, or re-sending an ARC copy that didn't arrive. Things like this. Most days I am desperate for bed and sleep, but I will, rarely, and usually during release run up, work until 19:00 while being kept company by friends on Telegram.

So that's my run up to release day! How do you juggle your day? Lemme know in the comments!

Review of Avocado Bliss by Cadence Robinson & Gerardo Delgadillo

Dacre Vinson has spent the majority of his life in quite the predicament—even the surf and his books can’t erase his Type 1 diabetes. But when Dacre’s family moves to a new Mexican town, an eccentric girl obsessed with trees offers him a job on the spot, leading to what could be the perfect distraction from his problems.

Salbatora Tames has one true love, her avocado farm. Her family constantly nudges her to be more social, but Sal much prefers the dirt, the sun, and the solitude. Besides, trees listen better than people do.

For Sal and Dacre, their job won’t stay easy breezy for long, not when an avocado delivery to Palenque, Mexico pops up on their radar. Together, they embark on a road trip across the jungle, where they form a tighter bond. However, as obstacles arise, their new-found troubles may lead to more woes than bliss.

My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because I adored the blurb and the cover drew me in. I was super excited when it landed on my kindle on release day and dove right in. I finished the book in one sitting because I couldn't stop turning the pages desperate to find out what happened between Dacre and Sal, whether they would finally realise their feelings. I adored the chronic illness rep with the diabetes and the way Dacre approached the matter. It was a beautifully written and engaging story and I adored it completely. Highly recommended!
