Honestly, this book. I read it in basically one sitting. The writing is beautiful and powerful and it stays with you. It gave me serious The Power feels, but I loved it more. I’ve been thinking about it all day, and still angry at some parts. Definitely my favorite Kim book!🍃
.
.
Now, I’m not sure how I’m supposed to work on my own book. Ha. 🍃

What was the last book you read that stayed with you? 🍃
Happy Monday, friends! It’s #campinstawrimo mid-month check in! How are you doing? 🍃
.

I’m a little behind. Was out with a migraine most of last night (and it’s still lingering on) so no words for me. I’m taking it slow today, doing some handwritten planning. I left a huge clue to my story in the picture, and I’m seriously excited about it. 🍃
.
.
Hope your Monday is filled with awesome! 🍃
Happy Friday!! I’m so ready for the weekend! 🍃
.

I was only supposed to read 50 pages of this one last night and ended up finishing the whole thing. I really enjoyed it, even though parts were predictable to me. But that’s what happens when you read a lot. I really enjoy Riley’s writing style, so I’m excited for my next read by him. 🍃
.
.
I have a 5K plan for #campnanowrimo tomorrow. We shall see what happens. It’s been a tough going this week. But I keep on pushing through! That’s how books are written, after all. 🍃

What are your plans for the weekend? 🍃
#tbt to that one time I got my Instagram wings 🍃
.

Today’s #campinstawrimo prompt is: Hot Dogs or S’mores? 🍃
.
Can I chose shish kabobs instead? That’s what we always prepared when we camped and I kind of miss it. Ukrainians know how to prepare the meat! 🍃
.
.
In other news, I’m struggling with my writing right now. I’m not sure what it is, but the last two days have been something. I might have to purge and delete everything I’ve written and start over. But I don’t think I’m there yet. I guess we shall see. Hope everyone is meeting their goals! 🍃

Welcome to Wednesday, friends. 🍃
.
.
Today’s #campinstawrimo prompt is writing outside, but unfortunately, I got no outside pictures for you because AZ in the summer is not a happy place for me. Unless I’m in the pool. That’s basically the only way I spend any lengthy time outside. 🍃
.
Instead, enjoy this art print I made from @goscribbler postcards 🍃
.
.
But! The scene I’m currently working on is outside! In a forest! By a river! I’ve been working on creating an atmosphere and I hope to manage at least 2K today. It’s going to be tough, since work has been crazy. But we shall see. 🍃
.
.
Do you write outside? 🍃
Spent yesterday with @alexbracken at this cute coffee shop, writing all the words!
Seriously, there’s something about writing with a friend that just fuels my creativity. And it doesn’t hurt that Alex has amazing energy. 🍃
.
.
I managed a little over 5K on my project yesterday, and made a bunch of notes on what comes next. I also got a draft of the cover for book 4 and guys, you are going to love it. I definitely love it!🍃
.
.
How’s #campinstawrimo treating you? Are you on track with your goals? 🍃
I went out on a whim and grabbed Girl in the Steel Corset this week. Can't wait to get onto it.

Oh my gosh, I looooooove Once a Witch!! I haven't read the sequel yet, but the first one was really good.
Just started following 🙂
I've been hearing a lot about Girl in the Steel Corset, but haven't checked it yet. I also really liked the Wicked Lovely Series.

I need to pick up Behemoth, I really enjoyed Leviathan. My biggest advice going in is to adjust your perceptions of it. It's almost more middle grade, it reads really youngish, and when I started it I was so startled and unprepared for that that I actually had to put it down. But once I'd adjusted and picked it back up, I ended up loving it.
