ππ What's on your TBR this fall? (ππ€ Peek at mine inside!)
Trees are getting naked (my backyard is practically a carpet of fallen yellow leaves)... π The air has a bite to it (feels like summer fled in two weeks flat)... π¨π₯Ά And holiday romance books are everywhere. (One of them might even be your own!) ππ It's officially holiday book season... And I am here for it! And because I never fully outgrew my romance book reviewer rootsβI LOVE π₯° sharing book recsβthere's a peek at my holiday TBR below. π But what I'd really like to know is what you're reading this season. Hit reply and tell me the top three romance books that are next up in your to-be-read pile! (Even if they aren't holiday themed.) Because I love getting book recs as much as I love sharing them. And I'm ready to discover a new favorite romance writer! β ππ²π My Holiday TBR As promised, here are the real, actual books sitting in my holiday to-read list right now. (Yes, they are all audio versions, because really good quality audiobooks π΅π are my jam, but these are also available in other formats.) (The covers above link to the books. I've given the author's site, rather than a bookseller, if they feature the book on their own site.) β I have 4 more audiobooks stacked and ready for when I'm done with holiday reads, but I'll save sharing those for another day. π π Hit reply and share yours!!
ππ Psst! Did you publish a holiday romance book? You can hit reply and tell me about that too! I do look at all your replies, and I am serious about wanting more book recs. So promo yourself and link me your book with a quickie trope list or blurb. π π₯° PS! This email was inspired by someone just like you, who opened one of my emails and started up a conversation with me. She asked what I'm reading next, and now I'm sharing that with you. So π THANK YOU, PATRICIA!! π³οΈ PPS! Did you miss Thursday's NaNoWriMo "doing it vs not doing it" poll? Click here to cast your vote β see what everyone else is doing this year. |

Hi Reader! Whether youβre ahead on your November writing goals (and have just typed "The End" π) or already know youβll be pushing right up to the end of the monthβ¦ The βIβve finishedβ phase comes with its own weird, quiet feeling. The rush of drafting fades. But the story is still living in your head, and suddenly you don't know what to do with your time. π€· It's almost a hollow feeling, but with a warmth to it. β¨ It's the afterglow. π₯° (And itβs not always comfortable) β Your brain needs this...
Hi Reader! Not all tools are created equal. Or, rather, not all tools work equally well for all writer brains. πΆοΈ (Neurospicy, right here! π€©) And there is one request I get a lot for my existing workshops and courses: "Sue, that pdf workbook is pretty, but..." β I don't have a printer. β¨οΈ I do my work digitally. π§Ή I need a clean, streamlined way to work. I hear ya, loud and clear! (Because 2/3 of βοΈ apply to me too). And while I do have one program with a digital fill-in version of the pdf...
Hi Reader! Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting in my office (upstairs) and hear a crash (downstairs). I look around. The cat is here. β My partner is in his office. β π° What caused that crash?! When I walk downstairs, the first thing I notice is the smell. β¨οΈ (Sugar, strong.) And the carpet is drenched. π¦ (But not from any source that makes sense.) After about 5 minutes of investigation, I realize that this π is the culprit... π Naughty Loki! The cork had exploded from the bottle, and the...
