This is what it looks like when I'm tired/getting over a cold/super excited to announce that the COVER REVEAL FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL: MY LULLABY OF YOU will be in exactly TWO MONTHS!! 🙀 Link in my bio to sign up and participate! :)

I AM READY 🤓😎 #nanoplottingandpeonies Day One: Nano Prep. 〰〰〰

Happy #IndieAuthorDay to all the authors out there and to these authors I admire! There are many indies on my list of books I need to buy and read so hopefully when next year comes around this stack will be higher! I also can't wait to join the club when My Lullaby of You is stacked with these beauties 😍😁❤️

#booktoberfest DAY 6 🎃🍂🍁 I'm six days late on this challenge but I couldn't resist joining! Here are my orange book covers 😊 〰〰〰 In other news, I don't get My Lullaby of You back from my editor until the end of the month so right now I'm feeling pretty strange without any pressing deadlines! That'll change real quick though once I start preparing for #nanowrimo 😭 Anyone out there thinking about doing #nanowrimo2016??

HELLO OCTOBER! 🍁🍂🎃 My #TBR for the month! Already started Eleanor and Park and so far I really like it. October is my favorite month so I'm really excited it's finally here 😁☺️ 〰〰〰 What are you planning on reading this month?

#4THOUGHTREVIEW 📝 •••• 📖: These Are The Moments by @jennybravobooks 1️⃣: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2️⃣: Realistic, engaging, refreshing, bittersweet 3️⃣: I really enjoyed this book. The only criticism I have is that I disliked Simon so much that I wasn't rooting for the love story. I'm not sure if that was intentional but because of that it felt really real. 4️⃣: "She could be anywhere in the spectrum of her life, except here in the present, where everything was grown up. Where everything was changed."

Helloooo Autumn 🍂🍁 I know it technically was yesterday but it finally feels like it today. Lucky for me, when my favorite season finally arrived so did a fever and exhaustion 😣😩 〰〰〰 I've been really bad with reading this month! Anyone else slacking? Excited to start my October TBR soon! 📚

THEY'RE HERE!! 😁😁🗒📝 If you don't know, I'm a to-do list fanatic and I love long skinny notebooks that aren't tear-off notepads. They are NOT easy to find but! I came across @makemynotebook and they had these 😍. I bought the gift set of five and I'm so excited to start using them!!!!

Getting a lot of stuff done that has been on my non-writing to do list forever. I did not accomplish this week's goal of getting my cover design or backcover blurb done, but I'm cutting myself some slack. Sometimes you have to step back and say I need a break. I need to focus on other aspects of my life. 〰〰 So! Here's a picture from author photoshoot to keep you company while I go ahead and do just that. ☺️ ➖ 📷: @johnstebelton

My TO DO list for the rest of the week. Why didn't anyone warn me that the back cover blurb and synopsis are so hard to write??! ....Or is it just me 😳

Working on the cover design and formatting for #MLOY this week! Lots of decision-making going on 🤔🤓 〰〰 Anyone have any plans/goals this week?

Dreaming of this mocha from #brewtc 😍 I need another writing getaway! (at Brew Traverse City)

Rewrites for #MLOY are complete and I'm out where there is no service for the holiday weekend. See ya'll on Tuesday! Hope everyone has a marvelous #labordayweekend 🇺🇸

Book mail! Been wanting to read this since it came out! Absolutely loved the prequel Those Were the Days and @jennybravobooks is the sweetest 😊 definitely check it out! 📖
