This has been a fantastic writing week! I wrote five book reviews—and survived a hellish week at work.
–My Roman Summer, by Bruna De Luca –The Heirs, by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé –The Valencia Expat Club, by June Patrick –The Unicorn Hunters, by Katherine Arden –The Chateau on Sunset, by Natasha Lester
This was a decent writing week, considering my allergies are trying to kill me (bleh) and work felt like it was complicit in that effort. I wrote two book reviews,The Shippers, by Katherine Center, and Dungeons and Danger, by Elizabeth Penney.
I’m drinking copious amounts of hot tea, reading, and journaling, hoping my allergies cooperate with me so I can enjoy my birthday tomorrow.
I haven’t written anything this week. I’ve barely read anything. Work has been exhausting and stressful and all I’ve managed to do is survive. Hopefully next week will be better.
Considering I was gone most of the week at a work conference, this was a decent writing week. I wrote two book reviews, The Mountains We Call Home: The Book Woman’s Legacy, by Kim Michele Richardson and The Ruins Beneath Us, by Sasha E. Sloan.
I’m exhausted from people-ing for three straight days, and I have another super busy week this week, so I’m off to binge read the latest Chronicles of Elantra novel before release day Tuesday.
Despite unrelenting craziness at work, this was a decent writing week. I wrote two book reviews, Metal Slinger, by Rachel Schneider (as far as twists go, this one had a doozy) and Thistlemarsh, by Moorea Corrigan (this felt like reading one of my favorite classic novels mixed with fantasy). I’m predicting minimal reading or writing this week, due a mandatory work conference, but we’ll see.
This was an okay writing week: I wrote one book review, Deathly Fates, by Tesia Tsai and DNFed While You Were Seething. Work was super busy, and I was mentally exhausted, so i didn’t have time to read for several days, and I wasn’t eager to get back to Seething, which I took as a sign that I wasn’t that into it.
This was a solid writing week! I wrote 1k of fiction, and three book reviews; The Geomagician, by Jennifer Mandula, Burn the Kingdom Down, by Addie Thorley, and Honey in Her Veins, by Ruth McKell. (These were three wildly different fantasy reads, and I thoroughly enjoyed all three.)
This was a decent writing week. I wrote about a thousand words of fiction—not a lot, I know, but I wrote zero words of fiction last year, so I’m doing baby steps this year. I also wrote one book review, Daughter of Egypt, by Marie Benedict, and DNFed The Creek, the Crone, and the Crow, by Rachel Weiss (because it was really dragging for me).
This was a solid writing week. I wrote three book reviews, Heiress of Nowhere, by Stacey Lee, When the Rain Came, by Matt Eicheldinger, and Only Spell Deep, by Ava Morgyn. I wrote 1k on the fiction project, and outlined two scenes as well.,
