It’s Friday, friends, and you know what that means… let’s talk books!
I’m on deadline, but I am also at the beach (needed a change of scenery, and yes, I am still running away from home.) I’m doing oodles of writing, but also taking advantage of being near water, which is as good as taking a massive dose of brain vitamins for my creativity, to read for a couple of hours in the afternoon, as the weather allows, in a low-slung beach chair. The books I choose for this moment of chill are important, because I need to both be inspired but also not pulled too far from my own work.

I'm reading Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torz. I'm about 70% into it and its very good. Interesting premise and well written. Another new to me author.
This weekend, I read three novels by Allison Brennan before the ebooks were whisked back by the library. The prior weekend I got to read Zero Days and it was fantastic.
The hubby and I were in Austin for a quick trip away. (I saw the bats too. Incredible.) The down time gave me the chance to finish Gregg Olsen's true crime novel If You Tell. I liked it but it was a heavy and intense read that required emotional breaks. It's funny because I feel like in a weird way, I'm copying you, but Ruth Ware's Zero Days is today's new book I'm starting, and it'd been on my list for two weeks.
The Bones of The Story by Carol Goodman.
I’m reading The Perfect Girl, Riley Seger’s “only one left” is up next. I finished Ruth’s “It Girl” a couple of weeks ago, would be a great movie!
Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror edited by Jordan Peele
Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney
Shadow Moon by Alexandra Sokoloff
Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig

I very much enjoyed Zero Days!😊
