I don’t even want to talk about this week at work….but, I did manage to squeeze in writing one book review this week, so it’s a win: Codename Charming, by Lucy Parker. This was a solid read, and made me laugh out loud several times.
Happy writing!

Sundays Are for Writing #238
As I thought last week, this week was not a productive writing week: I only wrote one book review, The Secret Recipe of Ella Dove, by Karen Hawkins. I DNFed The Breakaway, by Jennifer Weiner because I really couldn’t stand the MC and her whole life attitude. This is the second Weiner book I’ve DNFed for the characters, so I just need to accept her writing just isn’t for me.
Happy 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.

Sundays Are for Writing #234
Work was crazy again this week, so I didn’t get much reading or writing done. I DNFed two books, Forever Hold Your Peace, by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, and Good Fortune, by C.K. Chau (In both cases, I didn’t like the characters, so I only made it to 5% before getting bored). I wrote a review of Hello Stranger, by Katherine Center, which was a wonderful read.
I’m hoping this week has less crazy in it.
Sundays Are for Writing #233
This was an excellent writing week! I wrote four book reviews and my post on the best books I read in June. Hotel Laguna, by Nicola Harrison, was a solid historical fiction read with a bit of a mystery thrown in, too. And Then There Was You, by Nancy Naigle, was a sweet small town romance that I truly enjoyed. What Happens After Midnight, by K. L. Walther (review forthcoming), was a fun YA read although all the adults in the book seemed a little too good to be true.
And, last weekend, I read The Last Exchange, by Charles Martin. He is my absolute favorite author and I rewarded myself for making it through a tough week by reading his next release (book and review both out in October). Y’all. This book was SO GOOD!

This was a great writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Morgan Is My Name, by Sophie Keetch, Whispers at Dusk, by Heather Graham, A Shadow in Moscow, by Katherine Reay, and A Rogue at Stonecliffe, by Candace Camp, as well as my June reading post. I also read some great books, and I’m looking forward to telling you about them.
Happy writing!

Another challenging week, but I wrote two book reviews: The Little Italian Hotel, by Phaedra Patrick and Same Time Next Summer, by Annabel Monaghan. I also got a little bit of reading done, so I’m calling it a win.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #228
This was a very challenging week. I wrote one book review, Painted Devils, by Margaret Owen, my May reading post, and my best books I read in May post. I also worked 50+ hours at work, and I am tired. I didn’t get much reading done during the week. I’m really hoping this next week is a bit easier.
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.
Happy writing!
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!
