  11. That's a great IMM you have this week! Congrats on the new job too!!

    All These Things I've Done was really good! That book took me out of a reading slump I was experiencing, and was an absolute page turner. And Beauty Queens was so funny and entertaining! Hope you love them. 🙂

  20. Oh, Beauty Queens… I don't think I'll read it. I loved the Gemma Doyle trilogy, but Libba Bray's other books have fallen flat for me. I like her twitter though! She's so funny. Hope you enjoy your books this week.

  27. I loved Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy and have picked up Beauty Queens several times, but I always put it back. Same with Going Bovine. I should give them a try, though. I can't wait to hear what you think…maybe it'll give me the push I need. 🙂

  29. I can't wait to hear what you think of Beauty Queens, and also All These Things I've Done. I just finished All These Things last week and thought it was very original. Great vlog!

    Happy reading! 🙂

“Sometimes I feel like we might burn down the world to cindery bits, with our love, our rage, and everything in between.” - The Grace Year, Kim Liggett 🍃 . . 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! 🍃 . . 📷 @alexbracken
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? 🍃
