๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿผ musing about a book sale!


Hi Reader!

So much is happening this week! One big thing on my to-do list this week is to finalize Crowned! The next book in the Royals series (releasing in October) has come back from the last pass with an editor. So now I'm doing final revisions, and getting all the covers and ebooks and print versions ready. Fingers crossed that this time next week the book will be DONE (and then I can start sharing snippets and all the fun things).

Of course, all the things are happening while I'm still recovering from covid (my coughing is much less but sadly not gone) but I'm hoping it tapers off this week or next ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ. The good thing about getting covid is that it got me out of family events I didn't want to go to ๐Ÿ˜‚ but it also forced me to skip seeing friends I DID want to see ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Hopefully once I stop coughing I can spend time with people I like again.

And I've got a fun book sale this week! Prince Alexander & Rebecca's love story (the first book in the Royals series) is on sale this week in a few different countries! If you haven't grabbed it yet, here's your chance (details and links below). Alex and Rebecca will also be the featured couple in Crowned (though you'll see a lot of royals pop in here and there), so this is a good time to start the series if you haven't already.

Something I'm considering is doing some fun Royals book boxes for next year - is this something you'd like to see? You'd get a special edition hardcover or paperback of a book, along with some fun swag and maybe even art! Sound off on the poll below and let me know if you're into that kind of thing.

๐Ÿ“– free steamy romances!

McKenzie Harris was this close to owning the house next door, but when three insanely gorgeous guys swoop in and steal it from right under her by purchasing it first, she declares war on them.

Iโ€™d never needed a week away with my brothers so bad until Iโ€™d broken up with my girlfriend. Sun, sand, surf and a few drinks to pass the nights away. The female persuasion was the farthest thing from my mindโ€ฆthat was until I lock eyes with the stunning brunette sitting on the other side of the bar.

๐Ÿ’œ what I'm loving

๐Ÿ“– Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Well, I've done it. I finally read Fourth Wing and loved it. Xaden is just... *chef's kiss* (and while I LOVE a childhood friends trope, I clocked Dain as an asshole early on and was NOT rooting for him ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ). I bought it ages ago and it sat on my tbr for a long time. But I recently saw someone online describe this book as "Maxton Hall with dragons" and that was it - I immediately pulled it up and started reading. I have started on book 2 (but haven't finished yet) - hopefully I like it as much ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ!

That's it for now. Until next time!

Hi Reader! So remember last week when I said I was sick with something that wasn't the dreaded 'c' word - covid? Apparently it did turn out to be covid after all ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. I was 'novid' for so long (no covid) and now I've gotten it for the first time. I tested negative for a long time before I finally got a positive result from the doctor, but now I'm on meds and slowly starting to feel better. So, today I'm dealing with covid, a chronic illness flareup, and a migraine, but I know healthier days are...
