What's your favorite day of the week? • I know Mondays get s bad reputation, but Tuesday is probably my most blah day. Saturday is definitely my favorite...a free day to rest, have fun, and spend time with loved ones? Yesss! 😍 • I'm excited to read this book. The synopsis is fantastic, not to mention the cover is GORGEOUS.

Where do you prefer to read? Or do you even have a preference? • I love to cuddle up with a blanket on my bed or couch, where I can lose myself fully in a book, but I'm not too picky. That's probably why I've gotten into ebooks, since I can take them everywhere with me, especially on trips. Not that I don't also travel with physical books. Let's be real. I probably also have a physical book with me. 😉 Physical books are still my favorite...but for portability, ebooks have their value! • PS I didn't realize the irony of taking a photo of #CircleofShadows in a bright circle of lights until after I took the photo. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Heh heh heh. • Do you have any special plans for this 3-day weekend, or is it just a regular ol' Monday for you? (It is for me, so I'm here for you, my Monday-blues-filled friends!)

Do you have a love-hate relationship with visiting the bookstore? • This is what I mean... There I was yesterday night, so excited to visit Barnes & Noble with my giftcard and CLAIM. SOME. BOOKS. But when I get there...I want ALL the books. I can't have them all now. So I pull off a pile if books from the shelves and spend way too much time agonizing over which two from my pile get to go home for me. The others...I'll come back for them. I hold them lovingly in my arms and comfort us all with that sweet promise as I reluctantly set them back on the shelves. Another book catches my eye--I need that one too!--no, no, put it back. Not now, my pretty little thing. Not yet. Soon...soon. • Yes. The struggle is real when I try to choose my latest #bookhaul. My husband laughs and sends videos of me going back and forth between books to my friends. (I'll admit, I AM pretty funny.) He refuses to choose a book for me, even when I beg him to just grab one and tell me that's the one I'm taking home today. Probably because he knows, deep down, the book chooses the reader... 😂 Then we buy my books and I prance around happily and he just grins about how giddy I get over my bookstore trip. • PS I snagged the beautiful #Fawkes on this latest trip, in case you were wondering.

Another Valentine's-ish post, because we love our books every day 😉...and my husband and I, with nearly opposite work schedules, couldn't spend time together to celebrate until today. • I have a new blog post up on my website (link in bio) about how awesome books are, what they mean to me, and a little background info about my journey writing my first book, SILENT KINGDOM. If you're a writer, feel free to share what inspires (or hinders!) you on your writing adventure. Or as a reader, which books do you feel have inspired you the most?

What's your favorite love story? • Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! ♥️ I hope you had a great day celebrating with those you love. I know some people will say how they don't need a special day to tell those they care about how they feel, but I'm a sucker for love, romance, friendship, and family. Any excuse to celebrate is always great for me! Plus, it's extra fun being a teacher and getting to see my kiddos get so excited about sharing their cards.

Do you dream a lot or rarely ever/not at all? • I tend to go through periods where I don't remember any of my dreams for weeks, and then I remember a bunch for a week or more. It's probably connected to how well I'm sleeping or how stressed I am, because my dreams tend to be stressful or weird or creepy anyway. But sometimes even my stressful dreams end up being funny (later). Like the time I woke up from a dream in which I was a homeless woman, pregnant with twins, living in a hollowed-out tree. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have NO idea what that one was supposed to mean. 😂 • Do you ever have dreams that you laugh about later?
