June Wrap Up and July TBR Jar Update

 



Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

      June was a fascinating month filled with unexpected challenges and pleasant surprises.

    I received hardcover proofs of my debut novel, Days to Die. I finished writing fourteen chapters of my second thriller. I began reading more comic books, something I haven't done in a many years. 

    My TBR Jar was upgraded. I had a great time adding in comics and graphic novels. I used Canva to make pages that are 4 covers per, and printed them out on my HP Sprocket. After I read each book, I will have a sticker to put in a journal or date book to keep track of my progress.

    Most of my reading was done during a heat wave we had in the middle of the month. With temps up to 100 with 90% humidity, I was in air conditioning, under blankets, with a hot cocoa.

   To add some Summerween vibes, I put pumpkin scented wax blocks into my candle warmer. A great choice for my favorite Book of the Month:
