Here we are - it's Friday again! I'm pretty excited because this is the beginning of a three-day weekend for me. I love having an extra day off! We've got some fun things lined up to do, and I'm starting by sharing my Five on Friday post. Let's go ~
1. Woman Down by Colleen Hoover
We’ve been waiting for more than three years for this moment, and it’s finally here—Colleen Hoover’s newest book has officially been released! As a longtime fan, I can hardly contain my excitement and cannot wait to dive into its pages. I have a feeling this one is going to be another emotional, unforgettable read. Here’s a look at the summary to give you a glimpse of what’s in store…
In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway, but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.
Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career―and herself.
Then he shows up.
Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.
Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.
When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her―the reputation only she can reclaim.
2. People We Meet on Vacation Movie
Last week, People We Meet on Vacation was released on Netflix, and it’s high on my must-watch list. I’m really hoping I get a chance this weekend to curl up on the couch and finally watch it. My daughter-in-law has already seen it and enjoyed it, even though it doesn’t follow the book exactly. From everything I’ve seen, it looks like the perfect cozy movie to settle in with during the cold days ahead.
Every time I travel, I’m reminded how thankful I am to have one of these silicone makeup brush holders packed in my bag. It keeps all of my brushes neatly tucked away, protected, and secured with a strong magnetic closure, so nothing shifts around during the trip. Best of all, there’s no more worrying about makeup residue getting on clothes or other items in my suitcase—such a game changer! The case is also roomy enough to hold a couple of extra makeup essentials, making it both practical and convenient for travel. Treat yourself to one!
4. I Just Might
Bruno Mars is back with a brand-new single, I Just Might, and it feels like a joyful return to everything fans love about his music. The song has that unmistakable Bruno groove—smooth vocals, a retro-inspired beat, and a fun, flirty energy that instantly puts you in a good mood. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to turn the volume up, dance around the kitchen, or roll the windows down and sing along. Have you heard it? What do you think?
Have a wonderful weekend! I’m determined to finally get the last of my Christmas decorations put away—and who knows, I may even pull out the Valentine’s décor and start decorating for the next season. Be sure to check back next week to see if I actually made it happen!
