What I’ve Been Writing:
DAY ROBBER – Formerly known as Dearest Thief. We’re 55,000 words into this thing now, and I finally thought up a backstory that I think I’m going to stick with that will help move the plot along going forward. So…it’s about this kingdom called Janek, whose royal tsar was recently kidnapped by a foreign emperor, leaving the throne ripe for the plucking. Rebel bands are rising, the prince is trying to step in and run things, neighboring kingdoms are licking their chops greedily. It’s a mess. All the while, this orphaned thief in the backstreets of some poor village called Pithany just wants to find her missing brother. Except her fevered search lands her right in the middle of the fight for the crown and between two fellas who each want her on their side.
ZERO CHANCE – I received a physical copy of Keene and Waverly’s
book, so I just had to eek about it for a moment!
What I’ve been Reading:
I did it! I finally finished reading the Flesh and Fire series! Whew. It took me the whole month of May and maybe
half an hour into June 1st, but I got through all the books. And they were epic.
So after that, my fifteen-year-old said I had to read the Boys
of Tommen series. I kind of wanted to do something shorter, that wasn’t in a big
series since I just came out of one of those. But I can’t say no to my kid, so
I started Binding 13, and now…I’m hooked. You could give me twenty of
these books, all eight hundred pages each, and I’d be here for it. I’m currently
working my way through Book 2 at the moment.
What I’ve been Buying:
I got a used copy of Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli off Mercari (never went through them
before) because I ordered Book 2 in this series from OwlCrate (whom I’ve also
never bought from before). Heartless Hunter was no longer offered there, however, and it
felt all kinds of wrong to receive Book 2 before Book 1. But thankfully, Mercari helped me out with
that, and Book 1 arrived in perfect condition. Can’t
tell it’s been pre-owned at all. AND it arrived before the second book, which
will probably be here next week. So I’m relieved that worked out as smoothly as
it did.
