The gang's all here!⠀ ⠀ Seraphina: I started writing Sera's story 7 years ago. It was part of my story. When I wrote Chace for her I wrote every trait I was looking for in a man, everything I was yearning for. Sera is a dark-hearted poet who was afraid to write from the heart. She's a cynic who was afraid to use her voice. She's the kind of woman who can save herself, though.⠀ ⠀ Katarina: Kat is Sera's best friend. I wrote about a marriage ending, second chances and the lies we tell each other, the truths we are afraid to bare. I wrote about small towns and how hard it is to move on in one.⠀ ⠀ Guinevere: Gwen is me, through and through. KMLYMI is my story. It spans over 10 years, touches on my time with 8 different men. A woman's struggles with sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, mania, etc. No story will be closer to my heart.⠀ ⠀ Severin: Sev's story is based on my HS crush, and the way my friend's and I, the underdogs, captured the Homecoming and Prom crowns our Junior and Senior years. It's a story about moving on, and the way Alzheimers can steal your loved ones from you.

Just a little line from my WIP. ⠀ ⠀ I can’t wait to share the title with you.

Im trying to find my way back to myself.

And now here is a sampling of my 2019 TBR pile. Every book here helps me mark of a category in the #popsugarreadingchallenge⠀ ⠀ Read any of these??

I am often asked for book recommendations so here is a handful. ⠀ ⠀ The Roanoke Girls: this book landed on my radar thanks to @underthecover_blog. I still think about it. The subject matter isn’t for everyone, and could be triggering. ⠀ ⠀ Behind Her Eyes: this is a BOTM book and I read a review that said you could never guess the ending. So I took it as a challenge. And the ending shocked me. I looooooved it. ⠀ ⠀ He Will Be My Ruin: this is a great thriller and the first book I read by @katucker_ And let me say, that elevator scene was 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⠀ ⠀ Forbidden: this book gutted me. Absolutely gutted me. I know many will read the synopsis and run far away, but I urge you to give it a chance. ⠀ ⠀ Call Me By Your Name: read the book then watch the movie. The intimacy and poetry here, god. ⠀ ⠀ The Good Girl: I am drawn to novels about Stockholm Syndrome. The psychology of it fascinates me and breaks me open. And this one has a twist I didn’t see coming. ⠀ ⠀ What are you reading right now?

I tried to post about this book ALL DAY yesterday! What did you do during the great IG outage of 2019?⠀ And have you picked a @bookofthemonth book yet? Check the link in their bio for membership details!⠀ ⠀ SYNOPSIS:⠀ ⠀ In Metropolis, the gleaming city of tomorrow, the dream of the great American city has been achieved. But all that is about to change, unless a neurotic, rule-following bureaucrat and an irreverent, freewheeling artificial intelligence can save the city from a mysterious terrorist plot that threatens its very existence.⠀ ⠀ Henry Thompson has dedicated his life to improving America's infrastructure as a proud employee of the United States Municipal Survey. So when the agency comes under attack, he dutifully accepts his unexpected mission to visit Metropolis looking for answers. But his plans to investigate quietly, quickly, and carefully are interrupted by his new partner: a day-drinking know-it-all named OWEN, who also turns out to be the projected embodiment of the agency's supercomputer. Soon, Henry and OWEN are fighting to save not only their own lives and those of the city's millions of inhabitants, but also the soul of Metropolis.⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #bookreviewer #bookrecommendation #bookrec #whattoread #whattoreadnext #booksofinstagram #booklove #bookblog #toberead #bookcollection #bookshelf #bookpics #bookstagrammer #ilovebooks #readersofig #booksofig #bookofthemonth #botmbookbassador
