Reading
And I’ve been devouring books. I finished Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us. Though I’m not a huge romance reader, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I wasn’t expecting to like it, and I LOVED it. I then read Hoover’s follow-up book, It Starts With Us. It wasn’t as urgent or earth shattering, but I’m glad I read it and know the rest of the story.
I’m also doing a beta read of a book that's expected to come out this fall. It’s by W.L. Hawkin and it’s fabulous. I’ll share more about it when I’m able.
You’re so lucky to have such a great space! Everything looks fantastic.
Well, My tiny garden could never compete with space like that, but nothing beats digging in the soil.
You have so many books already. Unbelievable!
It’s great to have such a strong drive.
I suppose I’m getting too old to care much, but still, we all want to be visible and worth attention.
i hope your summer continues on the great note it started!
No doubt about it, Inese. I’m a very fortunate. And though you may not have as much space to garden, you make up for in spades with beautiful paintings.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing well and enjoying gardening. It’s very gratifying, isn’t it? And congratulations on your success with Kindle Unlimited. I haven’t explored this option as all of my Casey Holland mysteries have wide distribution, but maybe I should think this through and come up with a strategy.
My Gift Legacy books have been out for a while, which is why I did enrolled them. I figure the KU subscribers are likely a different readership than those who buy books outright. The issue of discoverability is still front and centre, but ads help. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the mention. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on To Dance with Destiny! I’m so blessed to have your eyes on my work. And I’m ready for Scorch Mark whenever it’s ready for me.
You’re welcome! I’m really enjoying DwD. Very good writing with just enough back story and beautiful description.
It sounds like you have had a productive reading, writing and gardening month. Your property looks gorgeous!!
Thanks, Darlene. The property is an ongoing project, but thankfully I enjoy the gardening and my husband takes care of the lawn and watering. I could never do it all on my own.
To be so young and full of drive again! The Covid years have broken my spirit – and the last, 5th shot, my health. Nothing but problems since.
Love your posts! And, yes, your garden is beautiful! So much land! No comparison to my balcony! Even if it is a larger than usual one.
Your balcony is absolutely gorgeous, and I think you may have as many specimen plants as I have! I’m sorry about how COVID and this past year have ground you down. I’m sending positive thoughts and tons of energy your way. XO
Fine post, Jo-Anne. Though I find almost any month is a perfect month to be at loose ends…
Hahaha! Good point.
Wow your gardens look incredible … professional status!! I’m ‘green’ with envy!
Congratulations in advance on your Indie-Publishing Workshop at the Denman Island Readers and Writers Festival this year! It’s always a very popular and well attended summer event on Denman.
Thanks, Sally. I’ve been working every day I can on those beds. And the workshop is filling up, so I’m looking forward to that. Thanks for stopping by!
