 What I've Been Writing:

I'm still tinkering around with Impostors and Thieves, thinking I'll just read through it one more time to make sure it's clean. But then I find stuff to polish and just start going through it again. I need to stop and work on its next book or get started on Book 6 of The Seven because people keep asking about that. But nope, I've been all about the I and T lately. It's word count is at: 139,193. Maybe I'll set it aside next week and write new stuff. We'll see!


What I've Been Reading: 

Nothing this week. I did finish Alchemised last week. It was good. I liked it. I see why the big hype. 


What I've Been Buying:

Oh boy!! My bookstore tour of Kansas City with the girls last Saturday was epic. We went to Ink and Page Book Boutique (lots of romance and popular stuff, all new books), Under the Cover Romance Bookshop (only romance books, yay), Pospero's Book and Media (only used books), Rainy Day Books (only new books), and Smitten Booktique (only romance books, nice).  From this wild book spending spree, I got:

  • The Princess Bride 
  • Once Upon a Broken Heart
  • Your Knife, My Heart
  • The Fine Print
  • Between Two Kings
  • Rose in Chains
  • House of Rayne
  • Nightweaver 
  • Evermore

Then, from the mail last week, I got:

  • The Book of Azrael
  • This Vicious Dream
  • Rain of Shadows and Endings
  • Starchaser

And then this week in the mail, I received: 

  • Till Death
  • The Wolf King
  • The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
  • Kiss of the Basilisk
I didn't update last week because we were busy decorating for Christmas...and Stranger Things. We got a Christmas Book Tree created and a Stranger Things alphabet wall hung. Check 'em out!
