WHAT I'M READINGI read Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson. I thought this book was really great... once I got into it. But it took me like 150 pages to get into it. If I wasn't a patient reader, I probably would've given it up around page twenty. Now I'm reading the final Mortal Instruments book which is good so far but I'm wondering if it's also unnecessarily long. This is becoming one of my pet peeves. My reading time is precious people!
WHAT I'M
Working on JAR OF HEARTS. I have lots of revisions to make and I'm pretty unconfident (is that a word?) about the whole thing. Here's hoping I'm making it work, at least a little bit.
WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW
The new Taylor Swift song. Love it, love her.
WHAT ELSE I'VE BEEN UP TO
I finally submitted to PitchWars and made my bio which you can find here. I also went and saw Expendables 3 with the hubs and friends. NOT my movie choice but it wasn't bad. Antonio Banderas totally made the movie for me. He was hilarious. Also, sharing time lesson, hair appointment (I love getting my hair done!), kids dentist appointments, and lots of Doctor Who watching.
PS: I won't be around for What's Up Wednesday next week because WRITEONCON!!!
Lots of people reading Since You've Been Gone this week! I loved it. Definitely one of the best best friend books I've read this summer :)
ReplyDeleteI hate when books take so long to get into! But like you I am a stubborn reader, and refuse to give up, since I've had quite a few that took me a while to get attached to, but then I ended up loving. I submitted to Pitch Wars too! My first year, but I haven't done the bio yet. Good luck and have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteOhmigosh it IS WriteOnCon next week! Aaah! I hope I find the time to join in again this year.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK FELLOW PITCH WARS ENTRANT! :D
I still haven't quite decided if I want to read COHF or not. I just haven't enjoyed the last two books. Good luck with revisions and have fun with WriteOnCon!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, WriteOnCon is next week! I'm going to do it this year. Determined. And good luck in Pitch wars!
ReplyDeleteJaime mentioned that SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE is really good, so I need to check it out sometime. I have CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE sitting here waiting to be read, but it's so darn huge! I like a nice long book as long as a lot happens and the pacing is still good, but too often lately books that long are just bloated and in need of editing. Ah well. Good luck with your Pitch Wars submission and the revisions! Be confident!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed COHF, but it is insanely long! Good luck with Pitch Wars and WriteOnCon! :)
ReplyDeleteYay Taylor Swift. I've been meaning to watch that all day, and you finally got me to do it. She's so awesome. And you can do it! I personally can't wait for Jar of Hearts, so have some confidence!
ReplyDeleteLots of DW watching can never let you down :) I too hate when authors drag their books out, so the characters are just going round and round in circles. I felt a bit that way with Mockingjay at times, like Katniss was taking one step forward and two steps back...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with PitchWars, and have a wonderful week!

I love the Expendables movies - they make no sense, but they're such ridiculous fun.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your revisions!
