Happy International Hot and Spicy Food Day!
What I've Been Writing:
In Defectors and Queens, I reached the scene I've been all anxious and excited to write and, yay, words flowed. My muse started to kick in, and when that happens, I usually jot down scenes on anything I have available around me, so I spent last evening filling up the notes app on my phone, which means, double yay, I've hit that happy writing high. Hopefully, it keeps up and, double hopefully, I have time to actually write down what's pouring out of my head. The story's at 55K right now. I'd say that's got to be a 1/3 of the way finished, if not more.
(I Easter-Egg hid part of my favorite line I wrote this week in the picture below. Fingers crossed that the image appears for you!)
What I've Been Reading:
It was a good reading week for me, too. I finished up Lauren Roberts's Powerless series with Fearless. And I do believe I am, in fact, dead inside, because I did not bawl the way my kid did. But at least I was able to guess which scene got to her so deeply. Go me...ish! Then my magic TBR jar picked Daughter of the Pirate King for me to read next. And, wowsers, that's my favorite book of the year so far. So what if I've only read four... That's my favorite right now, okay? Then I breezed through Book Two in the series: Daughter of the Siren Queen, which I also loved. Now, I'm reading Book Three.
What I've Been Buying:
I preordered way too many books this week. I'm going to get myself in trouble if I don't cut that out. But only one arrived, and that was Book of the Month Club's version of Rings of Fate. I was supposed to get some new Elle Kennedy books too, but they're running late, so I will no longer praise Amazon for their always speedy delivery. They're just okay now. But that's okay. I'll still use them.
And that's been my exciting reading, writing, book-buying week.
