What I Wrote
February was devoted exclusively to final edits and proofreading of PIECES OF YOU AND ME, coming April 2016 from Entangled Teen Crush! All of the last minute stuff like proofreading the galley and working on the back cover copy and writing acknowledgments takes a lot of time, but it's done! Woohoo! Can't wait for y'all to meet Chase and Rylee in April!
What I Read
I read a lot this month! The combination of audiobooks on car trips and regular books on airplanes added up to six books read in February:- Four by Veronica Roth
- An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes by Randy Ribay
- Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
- Aimee and the Heartthrob by Ophelia London
- Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally
- Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin
My favorite of the month had to be Symptoms of Being Human. I learned so much about people who are gender fluid and absolutely loved Garvin's choices and style in this sometimes painful but always beautiful book. Highly recommend.
I also adored listening to Breathe, Annie, Breathe. The romance storyline was like eating candy, but it had all this depth and layers hiding underneath. Also in the "like candy" category? Aimee and the Heartthrob. It took me back to my boy band fangirl days, and I loved every minute of it. Can't wait to read the rest of the Backstage Pass series!
Other February Life Stuff
For the day job, I had six business trips in three weeks, so that took up most of my month. When I was home, I finally got to see The Lion King musical!
Also, I shopped at Trader Joes for the first time. Pro tip: never tell the employees at Trader Joes it's your first time there. There's bell ringing and some kind of loud chant involved. Also, red velvet Oreos were back, which are far superior to any other flavor of Oreos.
Hope you had a great February and have a fantastic March!
