Oh goodness, I've been out of touch for a while. Let's see what I've done in the past three weeks.
What I've Been Writing:
I've been writing on Defectors and Queens, and you know...I'm wondering if the titles Day Robber and Night Giver wouldn't be a better fit for this duology after all. But alas, I'll keep calling it Defectors and Queens for the time being. I'm almost to a good part that I've been planning in my head for a while, so I'm excited about that. A real shocker. Hopefully, I can capture it as well as it's been playing out in my brain. I've completed the first nine chapters (actually, it's ten chapters, but I only wrote a page or so on chapter nine because I'll come back to that later when I decide how PG13 or rated R I want this story to be, ergo we'll just say nine chapters right now) and I have 45,000 words written.
What I've Been Reading:
I finished out the year with starting the Powerless series because my fifteen-year-old said I just have to read it. I'm currently working my way through Book 3. Lyds says a scene in Fearless made her bawl more than she's ever cried before, but I don't think I've reached the part yet! I hope not, anyway, otherwise I'm just dead inside because I haven't even gotten very sad yet.
What I've been Buying:
This week's book haul consists of five stories:
- The Walmart special edition of Powerless.
- The Fairyloot edition of To Cage a Wild Bird (Because Lydia's friend told me it was AMAZING!)
- Newest special edition of Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
- New release: Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova. And...
- A Vow in Vengeance, which came from my Allurial Subscription. (I had to get the story with tarot card references this month so it could be shelved with my other tarot card stories and the cool bookend of a guy in a top hat who's holding out a card.)
Other books I've gotten in the past three weeks are: A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (It has 3D-decorated, sprayed edges!), Apprentice to the Villain, Accomplice to the Villain (both Barnes and Noble exclusives), Broken Throne, The Everlasting, King's Cage, War Storm, Leather and Lark, and Romancing Mr. Bridgerton.
