I *think* I might have 2 chapters left to plot for my historical fantasy wip!! 3 at the most. WOW I can't wait to start writing this but I still have so much world-building to do first!

The delicious spread I got to share with one of my bridesmaids last night.
And to think this French wine bar was RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY WORK for 10 months and I never thought to go check it out?? Rude of myself.

I'll be going there A LOT now.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

I'm almost 50 chapters into plotting my new historical fantasy wip 🥰 I'm seeing where this is going but still not quite sure where it'll stop 🤷🏼‍♀️

I hate it when I pick up a book I really thought I was going to enjoy, and it turns out to be so disappointing :( I didn't DNF it, but now I'm kind of wishing I had.

Found a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Funko the other day and I couldn't NOT get her and prop her up next to my Dean Winchester. Perfect *hunting* team right there ♡

I've yeeted two books out into the world for your enjoyment, and I am pretty damn certain you'll enjoy them. Look no further, #BookSky, for a dark, gritty, realistic take on super powers, and a classic fantasy adventure with an eldritch horror twist.

Image of a book, The Dark Side of Super, on a broken glass bed. Red arrows point to tropes in the book: Twist ending, Super powers...with a cost, Thriller, Multi POV, Snarky Characters, Urban Fantasy, Normal People...?, Novella.

Image of a copy of The Backwards Knight sitting in a crumbling ruins, with a backdrop of shadowy tentacles, and eight arrows pointing to words that read: Stabby princess, a sword of nothing, potatoes, tainted magic, knight in not-so-shiny armor, farm boy with magic, Beware..., Crumbling ruins.

A tiny bit of progress on the map for my historical fantasy wip - just wish I had, oh, I dunno, an entire week to focus on nothing but it?

Thank you! It's a dormant volcano. I think volcanos will be significant in this wip
