This has been a decent writing week. I wrote three book reviews, Her Radiant Curse, by Elizabeth Lim, Letters from My Sister, by Valerie Fraser Luesse, and Kissing Kosher, by Jean Meltzer. I DNFed the last one because the characters annoyed me so badly–that’s the second book from this author I’ve DNFed for that reason–but I enjoyed the other two reads. I have some time off this next week, so I’m hoping to do plenty of reading AND writing.

This was a great writing week! I wrote three book reviews: The Keeper of Hidden Books, by Madeline Martin, The Bone Hacker, by Kathy Reichs, and The Secret Recipe of Ella Dove, by Karen Hawkins. I also wrote my What I Read in July (2023) post and my The Best Books I Read in July (2023) post. I DNFed Deadlock, by James Byrne because it just didn’t hold my attention. I don’t foresee this week to be anywhere near that good.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #230
Work was absolutely crazy again this week, so I only wrote two book reviews: Charm City Rocks, by Matthew Norman and Famous in a Small Town, by Viola Shipman. You should read the first book, but don’t waste your time with the second. I’m hoping this week will be a little less crazy.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #227
This was a decent writing week: I wrote two book reviews, The Viscount Who Vexed Me, by Julia London and The Dueling Duchess, by Minerva Spencer. I also did a little bit of work on my story idea. I need to make some decisions on setting and culture, so I can push through my inertia there.

Sundays Are for Writing #226
This week, I only wrote one book review, Emma of 83rd Street, by Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding. This week was kind of crazy, so I didn’t get much reading time, and I DNFed a couple of books, too. Hopefully next week will be better.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #225
Yeah, this week was kind of a bust as far as writing goes. I wrote one book review (Famous for a Living, by Melissa Ferguson)…and I DNFed three other books. Well. Some weeks are like that. Hopefully next week will be better!
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #224
This was a decent writing week: I wrote three book reviews (Warrior Girl Unearthed, The Secret Book of Flora Lea, and The Last One to Fall by Gabriella Lepore, forthcoming), my April reading post, and the best books I read in April post. My job has entered a new stage of crazy, so writing will be challenging for a while, but I’m looking forward to doing more brainstorming on the potential fiction idea.

Sundays Are for Writing #222
I ended up working an extra day this week—and all five days were mentally exhausting—so I only wrote one book review this week, Pieces of Me, by Kate McLaughlin. (Interesting read, but it struck me as a bit sugar-coated.) I also DNFed three books (again), Where Coyotes Howl, The Dutch Orphan, and Under the Cover of Mercy. The first one, I DNFed because there was no conflict in the first 25%, the second, the POV was too distant for my taste, and the last one, the MC felt a bit haughty and distant.
I also wrote four posts on A Little Bit Greener: Green=peace of mind, Time is greener, Sometimes it’s hard to find the light, and tell them they’re pretty. I honestly didn’t realize I wrote that much this week…I ALSO binge read Kresley Cole’s From the Gave , the final book in the Arcana series, which I love.
I also did a solid bit of brainstorming on the new story idea, so I’m very happy with this week of writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #221
This week, I wrote three book reviews, Silver in the Bone, by Alexandra Bracken, This Isn’t Going to End Well, by Daniel Wallace, and How to Best A Marquess, by Janna MacGregor (that’ll be up tomorrow). I also DNFed four books, including This Isn’t Going to End Well, but it’s for a blog tour, so I wrote a review anyway. Also on the DNF list were The House is On Fire, The Seaside Library, and Blind Spots. I guess nothing measured up to Silver in the Bone, which I read last weekend.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #220
This was a solid writing week: I wrote two book reviews, Fateful Words, by Paige Shelton and The Sinister Booksellers of Bath, by Garth Nix. I also wrote three posts over on A Little Bit Greener: taking the time, Gardening is greener, and I discovered. And, I did a tiny bit of brainstorming on the potential new fiction project.
Happy writing!
