Sofi Snow series


Any of you that have followed me for long know that I'm a huge Mary Weber fan!

I can never get enough of the Storm Siren trilogy, its imaginative fantasy world, and the heart-capturing characters. In fact, I am close to finishing the second book for the third time.

Top Ten Quotes From Books I Read In The Past Year on www.willbakeforbooks.com! | Storm Siren by Mary Weber

     I recently finished "Reclaiming Shilo Snow," the second book in the Sofi Snow duology. And while I don't normally read Science Fiction, I do like the occasional Sci-Fy book or movie (i.e. "Independence Day," "Men In Black," and "Jurassic Park" to name a few). 
     *Side note: These books are what I like to call "gritty". I love a little grit! Mary does an excellent job of balancing heavy topics with heart and hope. However, if you have younger teens, you might want to explore the book further before reading.   
    Sofi Snow and her brother Shilo are gamers in what's known as the "Fan Fights," a virtual game that's watched across the globe. While her brother competes in the arena, Sofi and their team handle the tech side--until a bomb explodes in the stadium. Shilo is believed dead and Sofi is blamed. Convinced that her brother is alive, Sofi turns to her former boyfriend Miguel for help.

     Miguel is an ambassador to the planet Delon and has a reputation for being friendly with the ladies. Sofi believes he hasn't changed, not knowing that their relationship and subsequent breakup have caused him to rethink himself and his choices. Not only that, but Miguel is on a mission to uncover the truth about what the Delonese are really up to. And when aliens are involved, anything can happen!   

"Maybe saving the world was simply showing love and mercy to others."
--Reclaiming Shilo Snow
     
     This book touches on so much: absent parents, forgiveness, friendship, romance, and what it means to be human. Add to that gaming, computer hacking, aliens, and swoon worthiness (I mean, Miguel is just muy guapo, si?), and you've got yourself a series you won't be able to put down.

     Highly recommend! 😉

     Seriously though, I would recommend anything she rights. I always close the book wanting more, believing that the world can be better, that I can be better. 

     Look for her new book, "To Best the Boys," March 2019. 💚

Love,
Jessica

Spring is Here!🌷

 Happy spring, friends!🌞🌱 We've had a lot of rain here in the Hoosier state. It's getting warmer, and things are greening up. I can't wait for sunny days when I can go for walks and start working on my garden. This year, I'm planning to try my hand at container gardening. My garden plot is pretty small to start with. I like things that are straightforward and practical. So, this seems like it might be a good fit. And less weeding! Which is good, because I'm continuing to work through final tweaks for Champion's Sword . I should be done by the end of April. Then I'll move on to formatting, followed by one final read to check for commas and such. I'm looking forward to refilling my creative well and returning to drafting after so long in editing land.😉 Reading . . . This month, I re-read Spells for Forgetting  by Adrienne Young. And I finally got my hands on Ignite  by Kara Swanson. If you've read Champion's Key , you'll understand why this ...

Happy December!

  Happy December, friends! I don't know about you, but I drink hot drinks all year round. I love to start my day with coffee and end it with tea. As the weather has turned colder, I've found greater enjoyment in it. There's just something about cozying up with a warm drink. But to be honest, as I've gotten older, a fair amount of the shiny parts of the Christmas season have been overshadowed by the frustration of societal expectations. Less is more, I say. Yet I've realized this isn't about me. Shocker, I know. So, I've set out my few minimalist decorations. I've embraced a tree this year (a tiny Scandinavian-style one, but even so). And strangely, I'm finding that I don't mind the twinkle lights so much this year. Even if the silver garland I placed on the mantle is driving me bonkers. Reading . . .

Behemoth

  Guys, I have three chapters left! Theoretically, I should be able to tackle these last chapters next week. I will say, though, that I've learned things often take me longer than I expect, and chapter fifty-one is a behemoth . Seriously, it's double the size of a lot of my chapters. After I've finished with edits, I'll read through the entire book to check everything one final time (and fix em dashes in the first half😐) before moving on to formatting, cover design, and publication. Yay! Reading . . . This month, I read So That Happened  by Katie Bailey (Donovan Family, Bk. 1), a grumpy-sunshine romcom that was super cute. And I finally returned to the Hawthorne Brothers series (Jenny Proctor) and read How to Kiss Your Grumpy Boss  (Bk. 2) and How to Kiss Your Enemy (Bk. 3). Somehow, I unintentionally picked three workplace romances . . . and movie star ones for my upcoming blog🙈, with the exception of Beg, Borrow, or Steal by the amazing Sarah Adams. I'll be repe...
