So many words. So little time.

It’s been an excellent writing week! I wrote two book reviews, Starter Villain, by John Scalzi, and Night of the Witch, by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis (review forthcoming). I also got in two fiction-writing sessions! Only 500 words each, but that’s more fiction than I’ve written in a loooong time, so I’m thrilled.
Happy writing!
This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews and did some outlining on the fiction story. I wrote reviews for Bright Lights, Big Christmas, by Mary Kay Andrews and Case of the Bleus, by Korina Moss. Both will be out next week. Hopefully I’ll get a bit more reading done this week than last week. Now I’m off to write some fiction.
Happy writing!
This week, I wrote two book reviews,The Spy’s Daughter, by Bianca M. Schwarz and The Forest Grimm, by Kathryn Purdie. They were both solid reads, but nothing that just blew me away (live tomorrow).
Happy writing!
I was off most of this week, which was wonderful, and I got a lot of reading done. Not as much writing done, but I’m good with that. I reviewed The River Runs South, by Audrey Ingram and Main Character Energy, by Jamie Varon. I also unearthed an old manuscript of mine and have been reading over it.
Happy writing!
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.
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!
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.
Happy writing!
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.
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!
