HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE and two of my books made a list!!!
Happy New Year’s Eve!!
I’m ringing out the year celebrating my boy’s birthday and doing a happy dance for two of my books making a list!
Erica Robyn Reads created a 2018 list of her 5 star reads and Dead Princess Walking and Even Halos Can Be Crooked made the list!!!
It’s been quite the year. I’m setting up plans to have a more active presence on my blog as well as finish Crooked Halos Book 2! I sent out a submissions call for hopefully an anthology in March. I’ve updated my blog banners. Published three novels and started a fourth.
I joined Instagram and Twitter. I’m seriously debating finding an agent. That’s kind of scary coming up with a Query letter and writing the synopsis. We will see if I give that a try. I want be more active in promoting my novels as well as connecting with other bloggers. Twitter is proving to be an amazing source for finding book bloggers!!!
It’s definitely a love for the art for me. I love writing and sharing these world’s with readers. I hope you will follow me into 2019 for what happens next with all my characters!!
Below is Erica Robyn Reads list of her 5 star reads for 2018! Dead Princess Walking and Flying Broomsticks and Buns made here list. Have you read any of the books on her list? You can find her blog post here!

Best Books That I Read In 2018
List of the Best Books I Read In 2018
2018 was a great year for reading for me! I was so convinced that it was going to be a bad year for reading with how much I had going on, but I read a total of fifty-seven (updated 12/31) five star reads!
I think one thing that really helped was me finally being okay with DNFing. This has definitely helped me to move on from books that aren’t a hit with me so I can focus on books that I love.
Let’s dive into my list!
