Cook? Clean? Grocery shop?
Those all sound important… but so does finding out what happens next. 📚😇
Priorities are priorities. And today, the plot wins. 💛✨

Fun fact: the average reader always packs more books than they’ll realistically finish. 📚👜
Why? Because options matter. Mood shifts. Curiosity expands. Having choices keeps you reading consistently instead of stalling out. 💡
Pro tip: keep a “current read,” a “backup read,” and a “just in case” book. Your future self will thank you. 😄

Overcoming Your Reading Slump: Tips and Tricks
What gets you out of your reading slump?
It’s been a slow year for me so far in terms of reading. I found reading a few nonfiction books helped recalibrate my joy in reading.
I’m back now, and looking for all those new ways authors present a romance.
Some people ask if I ever get tired of reading all romance. For the most part, I don’t. Perhaps an occasional slump here or there. I don’t…

My Book Rating System
I rate my books on a scale of 0 stars to 7 stars. My system does not necessarily say if a book is bad or good, rather it helps classify them through different aspects of the reading experience. Each star represents a particular quality. A lower star rating does not mean the book was bad, only that it didn’t meet certain criteria. I do not believe books should be rated on a pass/fail judgment, my system highlights what stood out the most.
RA : Would Read Again (yellow)
Does the book have a lasting appeal that makes me want to revisit it.
RE : Would Recommend (blue)
This is not just whether I liked it but whether I think you would like it too.
1 : Everyone should read once (purple)
Books that hold importance : culturally, historically, or universally. Does it teach a lesson worth experiencing once in your life.
BT : Does it pass the Bechdel Test (green)
The check for female representation. Are there at least two named women that talk to each other about something other than a man.
SS : Sleep Sacrificer (red)
Did I stay up through the night to finish it?
W : Would read more from world (teal)
Is the world immersive enough that I want to spend more time in it. Is the culture, history, magic system, etc. just as compelling as the characters and plot.
CH : Would read more of characters (orange)
Are the characters interesting or relatable enough that I want to follow them beyond the main story.

Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.
Silence is the perfect mix of emotion and edge.
If small-town tension, a reformed bad boy, and a fierce heroine sound like your thing, trust me—this story delivers.

#fridayfive
Today’s five are a little self-reveling about my writing career. I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and realize I could embarrass myself here, but hey: it wouldn’t be the first time, LOL!
Okay, here we go.
My first book was published when I was 55 years old, not the typical age. Most published writers are published waaay before this age and are hitting their pinnacles before it. I’m a late…

✨ Exploring the world but not without my bestie
“American Fever” by Dur E Aziz Amna is the book I traveled with this summer.
It’s been a WHILE since I read something where the writing left me wanting more
I have a few pages left but I can’t bring myself to finish it, a chronic issue I’ve had with books, I feel too sad to let them go.
I need a decent rebound before I can do that.
