Happy Saturday! How’s your day going? 🍃
.
.
I already managed to do laundry, go see MIB International, and start Woman in the Window by @ajfinnbooks. This book is a quick read, everyone was right about that. I might even manage more than 50 pages today. I’m enjoying it so far!🍃
.
I do have three chapters to write for my current WIP though, so I should probably get on that! 🍃
Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? 🍃
.
.
Am I finally going to tackle this behemoth of a book? That is the question.
I’m going to at least start it. I have a big list of projects to tackle, but I said I’m planning on reading more this summer, so I better get on that. Maybe 50 pages a day this weekend? I make no promises. 🍃
.
I’m also supposed to get some serious writing done this weekend...no promises on that either. Jessica Jones might overtake all my plans tbh. 🍃
QOTD: What is everyone reading this week? 🍃
.
It absolutely still hasn’t sunk in. This little book made me a USA TODAY bestselling author. 🍃
.
.
I’m back to writing already and I’m ridiculously excited about the next installment in the Hawthorne Chronicles. The main character is someone I’m really liking. Just wait until you read the opening line. You’ll see. 🍃
.
I’m also hoping to get a little more reading done this summer, so we shall see how that goes. Recommendations are welcome!🍃
Nbd. Just me, a USA TODAY bestselling author, posing in front of a pretty wall. 🍃

AH!! Yes, you read that right! I’m now a USA TODAY bestselling author! I am still in complete shock, tbh. When the list came out, I just started at my name for two minutes straight. But it’s real! All the hard work of the last 9 months have paid off and I am blessed and emotional and oh so excited, I’m posting on Instagram twice in one day. 🍃
.
.
This was a huge dream of mine and I am so thankful it has finally come true. With a lot of hard work and incredible support from each of you. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you! 🍃

QOTD: Do you read hype books? .
.
I’m very careful about this, because as an author, I know how subjective opinions are. When books come on my radar, I usually take a little break before digging in. Just so I know my opinions are my own. 🍃
If it’s an author I support, or want to support, I still try and buy the book when it releases, because I also know how important that is. But it might take a bit for me to get around and read it. 🍃
QOTD: Do you listen to music when you read? 🍃
.
.
I don’t typically, but I think I need some calming, peaceful music as I dig deeper into The Tenth Girl by @sarafaring 🍃
.
.
I’m only about 50 pages in but I’m already obsessing. This book is such a mood. And a completely vivid atmosphere. Sara is a very visual writer and this book is so quotable. I need to focus on my own writing project, but all I want to do is read! 🍃

Happy Tuesday, friends! 🍃
