Congratulations! The cover is great. What a dream to be an author. Thank you for taking the time to share and connect.
Hubby, Mr. Bingley—our golden doodle—and I will be moving into our new house next week that we’ve been working on since hubs drew it on a piece of paper five years ago.
It’s busy but I’m creeping through Time Hop Coffee Shop by Phaedra Patrick and My Time in France by Julia Child.
Oh how exciting! I love moving — but how special to be moving into your dream home! Thrilled for you. Love that you’re making time for books. Good job!
Love the cover and the blurb! August can't get here fast enough! I recommend Darkening Song by Delphine Seldon and How to Survive in the Woods by Kat Rosenfield when they are released. Excellent books! I read Kin and LOVED it!
Things have been hectic here, and my hormones have been everywhere but here, so I've had a week of brain fog, along with a bunch of other fun things. So much fun. Due to all the chaos, I haven't read much. A group of friends from church nagged me to read THE CASE FOR CHRIST by Lee Strobel. It's written by an atheist crime reporter who tries to prove that Christ really did exist by using his crime investigative skills. It was intense and a lot. It took me forever to finish it, but I can say I'm done with it. It had interesting parts.
I love all the birds showing up in TN. That's how I feel about my little piece of Texas too.
I love the cover of your next book, and I can see why you love it too!!! It's vibrant and attention grabbing. I hope you continue to rest and recover!! Good luck on the writing and enjoy the last remnants of winter.
Hi Rachael! You getting to the homefront anytime soon?
If I could make a suggestion, for the brain fog in particular, creatine, 5 mg daily. I like Thorne. Also for hormones, COSTCO has a huge jar of flaxseed oil pills. They were a godsend. Hope it gets less chaotic soon. And wow, that sounds like a fascinating book!
We just left Nashville this morning and we saw piles of limbs everywhere. We're on our way back from FL and Nashville was a good stopping point for us. We stayed at The Moxie so we were right in the action. We walked around, ate dinner at Bon Jovis place, then went to Luke Bryans and finished up at Jelly Rolls. We were back to the hotel by 8:30. We had drove 8 hours that day and we're tired. The little bit we saw of Nashville was cool!
So glad you went back to THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT! It's a little violent, but oh so good.
PINKY SWEAR is next on my list!
I read a lot during our driving this week:
STRIPPED DOWN by Bunnie XO. This is her autobiography and it was both great but heartbreaking.
CROWN OF WAR AND SHADOW by JR Ward. This is her new romantacy series and oh boy is it good!
Im almost finished with AND THE CROWD WENT WILD by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. This is part of her Chicago Stars series and im enjoying it.
Im ready for winter to be over. It was 15 degrees when we left NE last Fri and it had snowed 4 inches the night before! It was in the 50s when we first got to FL but it did warm up to the 70s. We'll be home Sat afternoon and I think we're both ready to be home!
I’m so glad my town was good to you!!! It’s a lot of fun downtown if you’re not from around here. But yes, the trees are devastating to see.
I finished Serpent last night and got the next one immediately. What an ending! Yes, very violent, hoping the remained isn’t quite as gory. I didn’t know JR Ward had a new series, off to investigate!!! Get home safe!
Sounds like a wonderful trip. I like Jelly Roll's music too. I have a friend who moved from here to Franklin so maybe one day we will make it down there to see Nashville and all things/food. Fingers Crossed. I agree with you about THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT. I hope y'all warm up.
I just finished "Caramelo" by Sandra Cisneros and started "The Correspondent" by Virginia Evans. Loved Caramelo and am intrigued by The Correspondent. I'm not looking for spring as we never really had a winter here in the Phoenix, AZ area. Spring means summer's on the doorstep--if we get a spring, that is, and summer doesn't just roll right over it. It's making me nervous and the plants are confused.
Oh no, the internet ate my comments! I know how Phoenix can get and am wishing you a bountiful spring. I have the Correspondant and everyone I know loves it. Caramelo looks great!
It's 92 degrees today! Eighteen degrees above normal! Lol! It's insane. We're supposed to get back down to the high 70s by the end of next week. Keeping my fingers crossed. At least we don't have blizzards, hurricanes, and only very tiny earthquakes that bleed over from California occasionally. I always say we get "sunned in" in the summer. The opposite of snowed in, but it's still rough to go outside. Hope you get a chance to read both of those books and I hope you have a great and normal spring. Never thought I'd miss normal, but it seems to be a rarity these days.
I feel this can describe so many pieces of the storm and even our country at this moment.
The seasonality is heartening, though. We emerge. We find ways to adapt and overcome. I watch the birds and admire their tenacity. A lot can be learned from our friends in nature about the power of resiliance
Love the cover and title.😁👏👏👏
I LOVE the new cover! It’s just gorgeous! Congratulations!
Here’s this week’s list:
Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett
A Fellowship of Curses & Cats by J. Penner
Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake
These Dreaming Spires: A Dark Academia Anthology
Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver
Thanks, B! I love it. This is an awesome list! Curses and Cats and Girl Dinner looks especially great.

Hi Kathy — thank you! Me too. And great recs - I want to read Kat’s book, too!

Thank you for the recommendations, and I will be following them all. Anything that will help is appreciated.

I was there on BookTour in August on the hottest day of the year was 119° so I totally get that being sunned in. It was incredible.

Need it now more than ever.
I can’t wait for You Know Why! Kin is on my TBR.
Let me know how it is! She’s an amazing writer.
Will do! I loved An American Marriage!
