I have no words atm, but have wondered, while I work on my soon to be released YA contemporary novel, if it will feel so far removed from the world once it comes out. How much will this change us, even once it's over? • In the meantime, I will remember that reading often relieves my stress and brings my mood up. Better yet, reading in the sun while breathing fresh air. What about you? What's your go to? • #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #igreads #literature #booklife #tbr #tbrpile #prettybooks #booktag #booklove #bookcommunity #generalfiction #fiction #awomanisnoman

How long until the world reopens, in number of books? Go: • This is my entire current TBR. I plan to conquer it. • If you think yours is too small, order from your local bookstore! Small businesses are hurting, bad, all around. • #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #igreads #literature #booklife #tbr #tbrpile #prettybooks #booktag #booklove #bookcommunity #yafiction #booksforteens #youngadult #yafantasy #generalfiction #fiction #yacontemporary #yabooks #yalit

My afternoon coffee has leveled up. My daughter doesn't understand why my morning coffee hasn't also, but 7am just seems too early for whipped cream. • #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #igreads #literature #booklife #tbr #tbrpile #prettybooks #booktag #booklove #bookcommunity #generalfiction #fiction

When you buy a book because it sounds like a comp title for your 2021 release. • No, I haven't picked a book to read - or finish reading - yet. <sigh> What are you reading this week? • #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #igreads #literature #booklife #tbr #tbrpile #prettybooks #booktag #booklove #bookcommunity #fiction

"Told from different perspectives, we are given an insider’s look into the minds of three very complicated teenagers, all with their own motives and unique personalities. As the story progresses, the lies get bigger, the relationships get more strained, and the mystery gets even more complicated. With twists and turns throughout, this novel keeps you wondering “whodunnit” until the very end." • Many thanks to this middle school English teacher... always nice to know someone with experience in the area of your target audience (12-18) has good things to say 😊 Also, every writer wants to hear that their characters are complicated and unique, and that their story gets bigger and more strained. So happy Tuesday to you, too 😉 • #bookaholic #bookshelf #booklife #tbr #tbrpile #booklove #bookcommunity #bookereview #bookrecommendations #bookrec #yafiction #booksforteens #youngadult #yacontemporary #yabooks #yalit #youngadultbooks

This weekend I shall read POIT out loud & follow the rabbit trail on ancestry.com. Who knew that would be so fun? It's like a puzzle... with a bunch of pieces on the floor 😄 My brain might be overheating a little bit though. • Do you have any fun ancestor stories? • I'm 1/4 French Canadian ~ female immigrant one of a group of women called des filles à marier who emigrated to Canada based solely on their willingness to marry when they arrived 😳 and male who came to settle "New France." • They came over the starless sea.... 🤪 I didn't start meaning to connect that.
