Weekly Me #3

 WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING - 

I finished up watching 1923 (the Yellowstone prequel) with my hubby this week, and the Spencer and Alex story...oooh!  My heart.  I loved watching their romance. But that ending. I'm just going to choose to believe that their story ended happily ever after in the snow when he jumped off the train for her and leave it at that!

WHAT I'VE BEEN WRITING - 

Dearest Theif - I poked around a little bit more on this story.  Thinking of maybe a new title name.  What do you think of Light Caster?  I don't know.  I'll think about it. Anyway, it's at 16,000 words now.

Zero Chance - Didn't get far in this week's read-through, but I've trimmed the word count down to 149,805. 

WHAT I'VE BEEN READING - 

I finished Wildfire and Daydream by Hannah Grace, and my favorite of the three Hannah Grace books is definitely Icebreaker. 

But holy crackers, I started on the latest release of the Bridge Kingdom Series (The Twisted Throne) that came out on Tuesday, and wow.  I adore all of those books. They have totally stolen my heart.  I'm about 80% done with TTT. It's so good.

WHAT I'VE BEEN BUYING - 

Which means, yes, The Twisted Throne is one of the books I bought his week, along with the new deluxe edition of Blood of Hercules and the new release, Firebird.  I was so excited about Firebird because of that pretty, colorful cover, but it arrived so much darker than it looked in the picture. Sadness. Maybe they'll fix that in later printings.  I dunno.

Anyway, I asked my youngest kiddo which of the three covers she liked best, and she picked Blood of Hercules before pausing and considering Firebird. 

"Except this one does have dragons," she added because she is BIG into dragons lately. "Except I like nice dragons." 

So I was all like, "How do you know these dragons aren't nice?" because I have no clue what the actual book is about.

To which she sent a dry look and pointed at the spine, answering, "They're literally burning down the town." 

Duh, Mother.

I'd gotten the book because of the pretty, colorful spine and cover, and I didn't even pay attention to what was actually happening IN the pretty, colorful picture. So yes, I totally got blasted by a nine-year-old. And that's pretty much been my whole week.
