I’ve been wanting to read more historical fiction with fantasy and horror sprinkled throughout and this one is inspired by the tale of Countess Dracula. . . I hope everyone has a safe, fun NYE! . .

QOTD: What are some of your favorite reads of the year? . . With the year and an entire decade coming to a close in a few short days, I’m looking back on some of my favorite books that I’ve read over the last year. It was an amazing reading year, with spinoff series like Call Down the Hawk and Courting Darkness both blowing me away. I’m ready for all the new reads of 2020! . . It’s been a tough week for Autumn but we’re getting there. I’ve come to embrace the motto, ‘one day at a time’ this year. Planning ahead is irrelevant with kiddos, especially one with an illness like bipolar II disorder. I’ve come to appreciate and enjoy the smaller things in life— a new Netflix show to binge, a laugh doing something silly, a quick hug for no reason. I hope to continue this into the next decade! . .

QOTD: Lets ask the age-old, controversial question today— coffee or tea?! . . I have recently begun limiting my coffee intake to one meager cup of bitter goodness a day.

Where would you live, what kind of job would you have— tell me your life endgame. . . I would live on the coast of Ireland, in a house with a library that I can hang out and edit novels. My two wolfhounds would sit at my feet in front of a fire while the kiddos made me copious amounts of coffee and waffles. Sigh. . . I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday— today is my last day at work and I am beyond ready to live in my yoga pants. Does anyone else get strange periods of obsessions that rotate from one thing to the other? Ugh, right now, it’s music for me and I can’t seem to find the energy to pick up a book. I’m hoping I can find the time to finish a couple more before the holidays attack. . .
