Weekly Check-in #57

 What I Wrote This Week:

No new words written this week, sorry!  I've been trying to make promotional stuff for the release of Day Robber.  But next week, I plan to get back to work on Night Giver (formerly called Defectors and Queens).

What I Read This Week: 

I DID return to reading, though!  I finished Broken Dove, and oh Lordy. The cliffhanger definitely hangs. I really should've held off until the third book got here before starting this because this may be a long, painful wait. But I just need MORE!!!  

Then I started Shadow Reaper. I was really distracted by life stuff (okay, doom scrolling) at first, so it was hard to focus on it for a minute, but I think I'm going to get into it more soon because it definitely has all the elements I love to read.

What I stacked on my Shelves This Week:

I am well on my way to collecting all the Danielle Jensen books there are. This week, I added Scorched Earth to the pile, and I have more on the way. Then I got two new-to-me authors to sample.  Shadow Reaper by Lynette Noni and Kissed by the Gods by Caty Rogan. Excited to read both, even though I did a quick inventory of how many books I have on my physical, already-in-my-house, waiting, To-Be-Read pile. It was around 175. Yikes.

Anyway, that was my shelfish week (You know...I may start naming this series My Shelfish Week instead of Weekly Check-in from here on out!)  Hope you have a great National Donut Day. 

Weekly Check-in #56

What I've Been Writing:

Guess what!  I am done editing Day Robber (Formerly Impostors and Thieves). It's releasing in ebook and paperback on June 20th! Oh, and I have a cover for it too!  Yay. That was a long project to work on. It came in at 550 pages long / 149,323 words.

What I've Been Reading:

Didn't read a new book this week. Was too busy getting my own story set up for release and trying to make promotional stuff for it. But I've been watching The Burroughs with my hubby. I'm actually liking it quite a bit.  I mean, not as much as Off Campus, but I'm hooked. 

What I've Been Stacking on my Shelves: 

It was a very slow week for book purchasing too. I got a used copy of Allurial's version of To Cage a Wild Bird. 

Weekly Check-in #55

 What I've Been Writing: 

Impostors and Thieves is changing its title to: DAY ROBBER. (Or changing back to it because I think I had that as an option before). It just looks better on a cover and will match better with Book 2, which will be Night Giver, something that's a hell of a lot better than Defectors and Thieves. I'm almost done (after a full YEAR of working on this story) editing and going through Day Robber, and I think I'll self-publish it in June. So be on the lookout for that. It's at 148,862 words right now.

What I've Been Reading:

I finished Fury Bound and am totally ready for the third book whenever that releases in...July, I think. But I haven't gotten through anything else in the past two weeks. Too buy working on finishing up editing Day Robber. But my next read is Broken Dove.

What I've Been Stacking on My Shelves:

Mostly I've just been collecting new books lately!  There's been so many I don't even want to put the effort into naming them, so I'll just show you a picture!  And that's been the last few weeks for me.
