Weekly Check-in #16

 What I've Been Writing:

Once again, I didn't get any writing done. This week was spent getting my kiddos through a dance competition. Here's hoping next week is more productive, writing-wise. 

What I Read:

I finished reading A Study in Drowning. Then I zoomed through Shield of Sparrows, which was just the kind of book I love.  Now I'm working my way through The Knight and the Moth, which feels very poetic, like classic literature-esque.  But also my-kind-of-story is mixed into that! I'm enjoying it.

What I Bought:

Got a copy of Never the Roses this week.  And I decided to try out the book box subscription Allurial. So I got A Dance of Lies from them!

Weekly Check-in #15

What I've Been Writing:

I started to read through what I've written already of Day Robber in order to get back into the groove of the story, but I didn't actually add any new word count, so...no new words this week either. Let's hope for some next week.

What I've Been Reading:

I finished reading Heartless Hunter and Rebel Witch. Loved them. Then I started one that I stopped because I realized that I don't think bully romances are my favorite flavor. So I've started a romantasy that will hopefully be more my speed.

What I've Been Buying:

I got these four books this week.  My daughter said the magic words last weekend: "Mommy, Books, and 7Brew." So we went to the local bookstore and coffee shop, and I came home with Our Infinite Fates and an iced Brunette. Then, I received a used special edition of A Fate Inked in Blood with the metallic edge to match the book 2 in that series that I got last week. And then I pre-ordered the other two that showed up this week: Opal and A Forbidden Alchemy.

Weekly Check-in #14

 What I've been Writing:

Pretty much no writing happened for me this week, sorry.  I didn't even get my story's document file opened. I've been so busy, my brain feels full! I mean, there was one point at 2:30am on Thursday night that I couldn't sleep, and I wrote a few lines of dialogue on my phone's note app. (One of those lines being, "You really shouldn't have made her cry," for the story Day Robber.) But that was it. 

What I've been Reading: 

Welp. I finished reading Book 6 of the Tommen series by Chloe Walsh (Releasing 10), and it was brutal and agonizing, smothered over a healthy layer of depressing and hopeless with a slight aftertaste of just plain sad. If you like getting your guts ripped out through your nose, and not really put back together again, then this book is for you!

Then I started on Hopeless Hunter (aka Crimson Moth) by Kristen Ciccarelli. Every scene with Gideon and Rune together just crackles with electricity. I'm loving it.

What I've been Buying:

This week, I bought A Curse Carved in Bone at Books-a-Million, and I received The Dragon Republic in the mail.
