Update!

I can't believe it's almost October! Here's what's on the roster for me:

Thursday I'm going to the Leigh Bardugo author event at Changing Hands in Phoenix, and I'm super excited to get my copy of SIX OF CROWS signed! I'm bemoaning the fact that I only own the Grisha trilogy in e-book form… whiiiiich might need to be remedied before then.

I'm also excited about diving back into some other projects this week, now that I'm officially out of Revision-Land: finishing off a second draft of the fairy-tale retelling I wrote last year, outlining a new book, and maybe brainstorming yet another new book! Yay!!!

On the reading front, I devoured Victoria Schwab's VICIOUS and Naomi Novak's UPROOTED a few weeks ago. Both were absolutely stunning. VICIOUS freaked me out but I couldn't put it down (super-heroes! villains! chaos! revenge!). UPROOTED literally sucked me in like there was actual magic involved (wizards! enchantments! an angry forest out for vengeance!). Just, WOW.

Currently halfway through SCORPION RULES and CROWN OF MIDNIGHT, both of which are freaking me out for different reasons. I definitely need to read something light and happy next!

So that's what's happening in my bookish neck of the woods. It's HOT HOT HOT here, but we're so close to the end (I hope!). Cooler weather is juuuuuust around the corner. But not this week. This week it's supposed to be 105 or hotter through Saturday.

If you need me, I'll be eating pumpkin ice cream and blasting the AC while I pretend it's fall. (Mmmmmmm pumpkin ice cream.)

Cheers, all. Happy almost-October!
