Possible Release Date!😉

 We're getting closer, friends! I'm still on track to wrap up line edits by the end of the month. While I'd love to give a release date, I don't know how long my list of to-dos will take. My hope is to possibly release April 1. Stay tuned!

Reading . . .

Unfortunately, I only have one book to share this month due to starting a couple of books and then setting them aside for different reasons. Currently, I'm slowly working my way through a 500-page nonfiction.😕I did, however, finish a whimsical children's book called Library Girl by Polly Horvath. It was quite cute & humorous and highly enjoyable. That said, the ending wasn't as light-hearted as I would've liked (although certainly realistic given her situation!). A word of caution, it's my personal opinion that this book should be given to older children and with a brief discussion on the topic of community helpers, namely police. Much of this story circles around the fact that several librarians are raising a child not their own in the library (she was found on a shelf as a baby, and they just decided to keep her). It's a secret that's heavily guarded even by the child, who willingly lies about their situation.

Music . . .

Adrienne Young has a playlist on Spotify for her book Saint, which I absolutely love. There's a song on it called "Red Run Cold" by World's First Cinema. Curious, I got on YouTube and looked the group up . . . and immediately fell in love with a few songs, particularly "Supernatural" and "The Underneath." "Supernatural" feels like a song that could fit into the Shadow Master's villain origin story, so you know I've had that on repeat!😂

Enjoying . . .

Charlie Follows on YouTube! After almost four years--and yes, I had to look that up!😆--of following Juliana & Mark on their Boho Beautiful Yoga channel, I felt it was time to switch things up. Charlie's channel would occasionally pop up as a suggested video, so I decided to give it a try. I'm still getting used to how she moves through the poses. It's a bit challenging, which I like, but in a different way than Juliana's classes. Juliana tends to add Pilates into the mix. I haven't come across that with Charlie. Another plus! I also like that her body type is similar to mine. There's a pose or two that I tend to have difficulty with (Juliana has such long limbs!), and Charlie has made them more accessible. I did struggle with the lack of music in most videos at first, but I now find it calming.

Blessings,

P.S. If you could, please pray that the Lord gives me discernment on which direction to take with my next writing adventure.
