So many words. So little time.

I wrote three book reviews this week: Grave Birds, by Dana Elmendorf, Fire Mountain, by Dana Mentink, and Reports of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, by James Goodhand. That last one I DNFed, but it’s for a blog tour, so I did review it. I also DNFed All the Men I’ve Loved Again, by Christine Pride and The Odds of Getting Even, by Amanda Sellet because the MCs were just not for me.
Hopefully next week will be better.
Happy writing!
This was another good writing week. I wrote four book reviews: Den of Liars, by Jessica S. Olson, An Irish Summer, by Alexandra Paigeff, Vanished, by Dr. David Jeremiah, and The Lost Book of First Loves, by RaeAnne Thayne.
Happy Writing!
This was another great writing week! Journaling, and four book reviews: A Magic Deep and Drowning, by Hester Fox, Pretty Girl County, by Lakita Wilson, Party of Liars, by Kelsey Cox, and Let’s Make a Scene, by Laura Wood. I think my Muse is starting to show some faint stirrings of interest in fiction again, too.
Happy writing!
In May, I read 21 books. There were a couple of “meh” reads plus a handful I DNFed, but there were also several that were really good.
The Winter Sea, by Susanna Kearsley. I loved this novel-within-a-novel! The setting—in both stories/timelines—was vividly drawn, and I just enjoyed the characters so much. Can’t wait to read the next one (which I’m doing right now).
A Forgery of Fate, by Elizabeth Lim. Elizabeth Lim is a talented writer, and this story was no exception. I found the setting quite unique, and I enjoyed the cultures and the characters.
River Road, by Charles Martin. Yes, he’s my favorite author, but it was fascinating to see not only how his writing skills grew in these essays, but how his childhood shaped him into the man that writes such powerful stories.
This was an excellent writing (and reading) week, as I had a long weekend for Memorial Day. I wrote six book reviews:
A Far Better Thing, by H. G. Parry (A fantasy re-telling of A Tale of Two Cities).
Writing Mr. Right, by Alina Khawaja (I DNFed this because the male MC was well, a fantasy, and the female MC was so passive about everything in her life, but I had to review it for a blog tour.)
Rewind To Us, by Molly Morris. This was a cute YA romance! The secondary characters were great.
The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club, by Gloria Chao. This was a fun read!
Best of All Worlds, by Kenneth Oppel. Meh. At best.
Look Before You Leap, by Virginia Heath. Solid romance read, light as Virginia Heath’s books usually are.
Happy writing!
This week was an okay writing week. I journaled, and I wrote two book reviews, A First Time for Everything, by K. L. Walther and The Summer That Changed Everything, by Brenda Novak. I also DNFed three books, Sing Me Home to Carolina, by Joy Calloway; We Can Never Leave, by H.E. Edgmon; and A Most Puzzling Murder, by Bianca Marais.
Happy writing!
This wasn’t the best writing week I’ve had. I only wrote one book review, The Listeners, by Maggie Stiefvater, and I did some journaling. That’s it. In my defense, I ended up having three biopsies done unexpectedly on Monday (they all came back fine) and my entire family was visiting for the week, plus some nonsense at work, so writing wasn’t top of my list.
Happy writing.
I was out of town most of the week for a work conference, but I still got some writing down. I didn’t journal every day–I missed two days–, but I did write three book reviews: The Courage to Change, by Joyce Meyer, The Other Side of Now, by Paige Harbison, and A Forgery of Fate, by Elizabeth Lim.
Happy writing!
This was a great writing week! I wrote my April reading post, my best books I read in April post, Their Double Lives, by Jaime Lynn Hendricks, Our Last Wild Days, by Anna Bailey, Come As You Are, by Dahlia Adler, and Bodies and Battlements, by Elizabeth Penney. I also journaled every day.
Happy writing!
This was an okay writing week: I wrote two book reviews, My Friends, by Fredrik Backman, and Heart of the Sun, by Mia Sheridan. My Friends was a fantastic read, and you should definitely pick it up when it comes out. I also DNFed Slipstream, by Madge Maril, because I refuse to read about a MC that sits around and feels sorry for herself and makes a big deal about being special because she has ADHD. I also journaled every day this week. Still not in the right mindset for fiction, though.
Happy writing!
