WHAT I'VE BEEN WRITING:

Zero Chance (Book 5 of the Seven - Keene's story): I went through the whole thing again after the first editor sent it back to me. It's with the second editor now, but I'll probably start another reread at the beginning of next week. Word count is at 150,290 right now. 

Dearest Thief (A Fantasy Romance, not sure yet if it'll be YA or adult): I KNOW!! Why am I still piddling around with this story? I just can't seem to stop. But I think I finally have a first chapter that I like...after starting and scrapping three other beginnings. It's at 15,000 words right now.


WHAT I'VE BEEN READING:

I finished Icebreaker by Hannah Grace this week. Oh my goodness, I fell so in love with Nate. I loved watching this couple come together. It had such a strong beginning. The ending dove off into a direction I didn't see coming, but it didn't keep me from digging into the next book, Wildfire, as soon as I finished it.  I'm working my way through Wildfire right now. 


WHAT I'VE BEEN BUYING:

Look at the pretty special editions I've collected this week!  


Wildfire by Hannah Grace (Ordered from Amazon)

Beach Read by Emily Henry (Ordered from Walmart)

The Flesh and Fire series by Jennifer L. Armentrout (from Cover To Cover Book Box. I ordered this Sunday, and it says it's out for delivery today. But I'm stressing because it's dark and rainy here at work, and I keep thinking about how the box is just going to be sitting at home out in the rain all day to soak. Someone, hold me!)

UPDATE: My mail lady is a saint. She put the package in a plastic sack. Happy day.
