 What I've Been Writing:

The manuscript that I'm still calling Day Robber (for the time being) is now at 93,000 words long. I like the direction it's going. I'm feeling good about it. Can't wait until I can share it with you guys!


What I've Been Reading:

I finally got through Forbidden Alchemy. The ending broke my soul. Just like the cliffhanger in The Traitor Queen by Danielle Jensen, the dude thinks the girl betrayed him. Ugh. The agony.  

And now, I'm reading Daughter of Redwinter by Ed McDonald because the girl who sold me my Danielle Jensen books at Books-a-Million said I should try it. So...I am. Sadly, I don't think it's a romance, which is... I can't even remember how long it's been since I read a non-romance.  But it's going good. And by good, I mean there's lots of terrible trauma happening at the moment. Everyone the MC knows and loves is dead or has disappointed her to the point that you really want them to die. So... yeah. I'm engrossed!


What I've Been Buying:

So my copy of Daughter of Redwinter came in this week. That's one book.  Then, on Tuesday, I received a slew of special editions I had pre-ordered. And they are definitely special. I got:

  • The Theory of Deaming by Ava Reid,
  • Immortal Consequences by LV Marie,
  • The Deal by Elle Kennedy (it has picture inserts. So cool!), and
  • Forged in Blood by Sadie Kincaid.
