Mini-Read-A-Thon and A New Look!
So, what do y’all think of the new look of the website? There are still a few tweaks to tend to and some changes to make, but we’re well on our way. Kendra from Creations by Kendra did the design for me. She’s a very dear friend and I couldn’t be more thrilled by the end result. I would highly recommend her if you need any graphics, book covers, websites, etc… She’s got amazing talent and skill.
I am participating in a Mini-Read-A-Thon today. 12 hours of reading. My Nook is charging and my Kindle is already loaded up. I have a lot of books to choose from for reading and Tuesday I’ll let y’all know which ones I read.
I need to get started. I need some coffee! Speaking of coffee, don’t y’all love the little coffee cup social media buttons?
Have a great Sunday! Oh, and at the bottom of each page, is an RSS button. If you haven’t subscribed to the feed but wish to, it’s there in the left hand corner. I am still planning a newsletter before the end of the month so be looking for that. And if you haven’t signed up, what are you waiting for?

Books I’ve Bought This Week
I love to read but I haven’t been reading lately. I’m so focused on my writing that one slip up right now and my rising word count will crumble. I know this because it’s happened many times before. Readers are waiting for new books.
However, even though I’m not reading, I have been stockpiling my Nook and Kindle with books for future days where I will wake up, grab a blanket, curl up in the recliner with a cup of coffee, and do nothing all day but read.
I don’t buy books all the time. I don’t often by en masse either. There are weeks where I will and there are even more weeks where I won’t by any at all. And by ‘even more weeks’ I mean, months.
Here are the books I bought:
Belong to Me by Shayla Black (in print cause well, I love her books… she’s one of the rare authors I’ll still buy print for)
Wicked to Love by Shayla Black
The Blue Devil by Melynda Beth Andrews
Refired (Desires and Dreams) by A. ‘Jeeper’ Wade
The Dom Who Loved Me by Lexi Blake
A Little Harmless Pleasure by Melissa Schroeder
Best Man Worst Man by Stacy Gail
Pricks and Pragmatism by J. L. Merrow
And I pre-ordered Five Ways Til Sunday, the 1st in Delilah Devlin’s new Delta Heat series
So, I’ve got some historical, some m/m, some spanking, some m/f…I can’t wait to dive into some of these! Well, all of these, but you know what I mean.There are Amazon links to those books on my Kindle and Barnes and Noble links to those on my Nook.
What books have you bought in recent weeks?
