10 Tips for Running a Book Table

I ran a book table at a vendor fair this past weekend. 👀 (“For the first time in foreverrrrrrr!” 🎶) And it was pretty fun and went pretty well. 😉 I thought I’d share some pictures under the guise of sharing tips with y’all. 😉 Mwahahaa. 1. Order stock early! I’ve had a few scary...Continue reading »

3 Reasons I Love “The Chosen”

“The Chosen” has been one of my absolute favorite shows lately, and I decided to pick out *just* three reasons why. (It’s tough, y’all. 😭) Here they are… 1. It’s such good storytelling. 😍 Seriously, every scene is so thoughtfully, creatively, and artistically done. The characters are beautifully developed with their own goals and fears...Continue reading »

Before the Tea Is Ready

It was a dark and stormy day, and I had the perfect writing time planned. Tea, laptop, cozy vibes, new work-in-progress… Yes. I just had to wait for the water to boil so I could steep my tea. I probably paced a little. Listened to the kettle, waiting for that sweet whistle of readiness. Wondered...Continue reading »

What I’m Accidentally Working On

I recently got up the courage to start writing a new book. Then about a week in, an old project stole my heart, and I haven’t looked back. You’ve probably already guessed (or hoped) what I’m working on, especially if you follow me on Goodreads… I’m pleased to say, I’m over 40% of the way...Continue reading »

My MBTI in Books

MBTI, aka the personality typing system that some of us (*looks around innocently*) never grew out of obsessing over and still find the best way to describe ourselves. It’s really quite fun. 😉 I’m an INFJ. *awkward finger guns* *disappears* If you’re unfamiliar, here’s a good explanation of this type… (I just love how those...Continue reading »

Meant to Bee by Storm Shultz // Review

Can accidentally becoming a beekeeper lead to love? Single mom Cordy Brown can’t catch a break. Not only does she lose her job, but the quaint English cottage she pools her savings to purchase is the very definition of a money pit. To top it off, a delivery man appears on her doorstep with a...Continue reading »

For Sale: A Menagerie of Pre-Made Book Covers

I have a cover design problem; maybe you have a solution. You see, I love designing them for absolutely no reason (although commissioned covers are fun too). Whenever I’m bored during a movie, waiting for something, or just randomly have a design idea, off I pop to Canva and I’m doodling up something. Because of...Continue reading »

Meet Claire – The Get to Know My Character Tag (Again) (Because)

I’m doing this tag again just for fun, and because it’s imperative you get to meet Addie’s younger sister Claire. (Again, thanks to Anna from Anna’s Idea Blog for creating this tag.) What’s your full name? Hi, I’m Claire. That’s all you need to know. *waggles eyebrows mysteriously* How old are you? I’m 12, which...Continue reading »

My Adventures in Library Loot

I recently shocked my husband by how quickly I can find and collect a huge stack of new library reads. 😉 It’s a skill born of years of bookwormness, and I’m just waiting for the chance to somehow save the world with it. 😛 It’s true though. The library is my weakness. Especially the new...Continue reading »
