week in review

Well, last week’s group definitely skewed to the reader side of things. Only a handful of you were interested in writing. That’s a good thing. If everyone wanted to write, when would we all have time to read some of the fabulous books out there? Of course, I say that while I’m currently writing for that Love Inspired Author Search entry. I’ve currently got 10,000 of the 55,000 words on paper. It’s a start, right?

And I managed to get a few books read in there too. Having a couple days off work helped both of those endeavors.

We made it to the weekend! I don’t know about you but I had a busy week! Last week I learned that the majority of you are readers only. There were just a couple of you who said you were or were interest in writing. I guess that makes sense since you’re visiting this blog to check out all the books :).

There were a few giveaways this week. Perfect timing with Mother’s Day tomorrow, isn’t it? I love that I can share good books with my mom. She often asks for recommendations because she knows I’m always reading.

How did it get to be May already? Well, in a way, I’m glad we’re there. April was a month of waiting for me. I found it fitting that the second Sunday our sermon study of James talked about patience. I do have some exciting news, though! One of the things  was waiting on was the results from the Love Inspired Author Search. I sent in my first chapter and synopsis and was thrilled to get an invitation to round 2, which was a request for a full manuscript. Who knows, in a year or so I could be giving away copies of my own book.

With the need for dedicated writing time (my deadline to finish and submit my full manuscript is Aug 1), things may taper off here over the summer. But probably not too terribly much because I’ve already committed to several reviews through August. There just may be a day or two on certain weeks I don’t get a post up.

Well, that was a lot of detail when all you stopped by to see what you might have missed this week :). The good news is it was a full one! Click on the picture to get to information about that book and/or giveaway.

Happy Saturday, friends! Did anyone else feel like this week really dragged? Maybe it’s because I’d rather be reading! I also found out my gym is closing it’s doors on April 30. I’m bummed about that because I’ve been dancing with my Monday and Wednesday Zumba instructors for two years. So, this week I’m going to be visiting new gyms with their visitor passes. I’m keeping my fingers crossed another gym snatches up the great instructors that are now free, though.

Anyway, I know you didn’t stop by to hear my #firstworldproblems. It was a busy week here on the blog and across social media, so I’ve got some fun book giveaways for you this week!

Happy Easter Saturday! He is Risen! What a beautiful story God gave us when He sacrificed Himself for each and everyone of us on that cross. I pray your Easter holiday is one of remembrance and celebration of conquered death so that we may live eternally!
