So many words. So little time.

I’m happy with this writing week: despite my allergies trying to kill me this week (Thank you, springtime in Texas.), I journaled every day and wrote three book reviews, Out of Air, by Rachel Reiss, The Love Haters, by Katherine Center, and Death at a Highland Wedding, by Kelley Armstrong.
Happy writing!
This was a good writing week! I wrote my March reading post, my best books I read in March post, Austen at Sea, by Natalie Jenner, and Time Loops & Meet Cutes, by Jackie Lau.

This was a decent writing week. I got in some journaling, and three book reviews: Time Loops & Meet Cutes, by Jackie Lau, It’s You Every Time, by Charlene Thomas, and The Language of the Birds, by K.A. Merson.

This was a good writing week! I wrote four book reviews: Bait and Swiss, by Korina Moss (solid cozy mystery read), Night Swimming, by Aaron Starmer (meh, kind of pointless), The Staircase in the Woods, by Chuck Wendig (meh, pointless, not horror), and The Murder Machine, by Heather Graham (very disappointing meh read from an author I usually enjoy).
Happy writing!
This was a solid writing week: I wrote three books reviews: The Amalfi Curse, by Sarah Penner, The Traitor of Sherwood Forest, by Amy S. Kaufman, and I Would Die for You, by Sandie Jones. That last one was quite the 80’s flashback.
Happy writing!
I was out of town most of the week for some training, which threw everything off, but I still managed to get several books reviews written: Some Like It Scot, by Pepper Basham; Boys with Sharp Teeth, by Jenni Howell; and The Summer of You and Me, by Denise Hunter, all coming in April.
Happy writing!
This was an excellent writing week! Granted, I only worked two days, then had surgery and had not much else to do except lay around and read, but still. I wrote four book reviews, The Deathly Grimm, by Kathryn Purdie, Holy Terrors, by Margaret Owen, The Wandering Season, by Aimie K. Runyan, and Love, The Duke, by Amelia Grey, plus my February reading post and the best books I read in February.
Happy writing!
This was a good writing week! I wrote four book reviews: My Big Fat Fake Marriage, by Charlotte Stein, Mother of Rome, by Lauren J. A. Bear, The Bane Witch, by Ava Morgyn, and His Mortal Demise, by Vanessa Le, all forthcoming.
Maybe I’ll get in some fiction next week.
Happy writing!
This was an okay writing week. I wrote two book reviews, Southern by Design, by Grace Helena Walz and Spring Fling, by Annie England Noblin (forthcoming). Got some less-than-ideal health news that I’m still processing.
Happy writing!
Title: The Perfect Rom-Com
Author: Melissa Ferguson
Genre: Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5
She’s written dozens of smash hit novels as a ghostwriter. Too bad no one knows it.
Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for The Bridge, her grandmother’s financially-struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. But after a disastrous pitching session, she stumbles into correcting another author’s work in a last-ditch attempt to make a good impression with the agent. And she, as it turns out, is spot on.
No one is more surprised than Bryony when the agent offers her the opportunity to be a ghostwriter for Amelia Benedict, popular rom-com novelist. Bryony agrees on one she’ll write books for this vain, demanding woman just as long as Jack Sterling, literary agent of the legendary Foundry Literary Agency, works to sell her own book too.
What nobody predicted, however, was that Bryony’s books would turn Amelia Benedict into the Amelia Benedict, household name and bestselling author with millions of copies sold around the world.
And just like that, the Foundry Agency can’t let her go.
But on a personal note, Jack is realizing he can’t either.
I wouldn’t quite describe this as a rom-com. The writing is solid, and I like the characters (Except Amelia. She’s terrible.). The interactions between Jack and Bryony are great. I really enjoy their banter. But…very little of this story is actually about their romance. It’s more about Bryony finding herself and her place in the world. That being said, as long as you aren’t expecting a full rom-com, this is a solid read.
Melissa Ferguson is a bestselling author. The Perfect Rom-Com is her newest novel.
