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.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #223
This week, I wrote two book reviews: An American Beauty, by Shana Abe and The Ferryman, by Justin Cronin (forthcoming). An American Beauty was a decent historical fiction read, although the MC felt really distant. And The Ferryman….well, I’ve decided that Justin Cronin’s writing just isn’t for me. The first 2/3rds of this book felt very “done” to me, like I’d read something similar a few times before. The last third just felt like confusing chaos. So, yeah, I’ll probably be skipping his stuff in the future.
I also wrote a post over on A Little Bit Greener: garden greenery and blooms.
My family is in town, so I haven’t been doing much reading. Hopefully I’ll make up for that in the next day or two.
Happy writing!
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.

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.

Sundays Are for Writing #219
This has been a great writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Five Fortunes, by Barbara Venkataraman, Once We Were Home, by Jennifer Rosner, Zora Books Her Happy Ever After, by Taj McCoy, and Oxford Star, by Laura Bradbury. I also wrote my March reading post, and my top three books I read in March. I also wrote a post over on A Little Bit Greener. I’m very happy with writing this week!

Sundays Are for Writing #214
This week, I only wrote one book review–When the Moon Turns Blue, by Pamela Terry–but I worked three days, then went out of town for two days, so I’m good with that. About to start a new writing regimen, so I’m excited about that.
Happy writing!
Sundays Are for Writing #213
This week, I wrote two book reviews, Where Darkness Blooms, by Andrea Hannah and Nocturne, by Alyssa Wees. Work has been pretty emotionally difficult this week, so I’m good with that.

Sundays Are for Writing #212
This week, I wrote two book reviews, Code Name Sapphire, by Pam Jenoff and Every Missing Girl, by Leanne Kale Sparks. I’ve read–and loved–several of Jenoff’s previous books, but I didn’t enjoy this one quite so much. Every Missing Girl left some things unresolved, and I’m not a fan of that, so this was just an okay read for me. I DNFed two other books this week because I wasn’t crazy about the MC and found myself slightly bored while reading. I’m hoping to do some brainstorming on a project this week, plus several reviews, so here’s hoping.
Happy writing!
