My Inner Author:
I've done some (still not much) writing on Night Giver these past few weeks since I last checked in with you. It's at 118,000 words long, and I've changed up a couple of plans I had for the rest of the book, so we'll see how that goes.
My Inner Bookworm:
I've finished both Robin on the Oak Throne and Raven at the Ash Door. I was so sure the plot was headed in this one certain direction (That Lorcan has somehow gotten Graves' soul...maybe from the first time he killed him), but it didn't go that way at all. So that kind of bummed me out until the twist ending of Raven, which got me all kinds of intrigued about how that's going to pan out.
Then, I was going to start reading The Games Gods Play. But my co-worker turned in a book at the library where I have my day job, and I just casually flipped open to page one because...I have no idea why. And I was instantly in it. So I guess I'm reading Project Hail Mary instead, which is so far off from my usual reading preference that it's crazy (I mean...there's no romance at all. And it's full of science and math that goes way over my head). But I love how it's written, so I'm hooked! I'm just hoping I can hold out until I finish reading the book before I let myself watch the movie. We shall see!
My Inner Book Dragon:
Ooh, I have collected quite the pretties into my lair; yes, I have! I've decided that since I only needed five more to go until I had every book published by Entangled Red Tower Books that I was going to make it a mission to collect all of them: hence Nobody's Quest (And I have four more on the way, which will then complete my quest...until the next book publishes in August, and I'm forced to buy that too!).
And then I had quite a few Allurial Book Box books arrive in my mail. So say hello to:
- The Wolf and the Crown of Blood,
- In the Wake of the Ruined,
- The Mortal Trials,
- Forsaken Prophesy,
- Dominion,
- Eclipse of the Crown, and
- The Winged Game.
I also have The Night Prince set to come my way from Allurial in August, but I'd already gotten the publisher's version. On the flip side, I already had only the Allurial edition of The Wolf King, so then I had to get the publisher's version of that in order to have matching sets of both editions (I know; that logic only makes sense to another fellow book dragon, but trust me, it's very logical).
And that is what's been up in my shelf-ish world in the last two weeks. Have a great National Piña Colada Day out there, you hear. Hugs!
