Hello everyone, I've noticed the past couple months of June-September, that most of my blog posts had been about what I have read. While I love reading, I do not want my blog posts to JUST be focused on that. It can cause confusion with new readers that they just think I read and review books - but I also write them! So instead of doing the WWW Wednesday's, I am going to do a monthly reading wrap-up. It will be posted the last day of each month. With each monthly wrap-up, I will have the dates that I read the book (to and from), my rating (3+ will be posted, anything below a 3 will not be posted publicly), if it was a first-time read, reread, giveaway winner, or series, a cover image, the title, and author. If you are still interested in seeing what I am reading as I read it, you can check out the "Amy" page. I update that frequently! Here's to the new monthly-wrap up! October 1st - 5th:

Hello everyone, The school year is underway so a lot of my reading has paused. In saying that, I am still in the process of writing, editing, and marketing my next book. That is ALWAYS going to be a priority to me. I wish I had more news to share, but until then, enjoy what I have just finished reading. What I Recently Finished Reading:
Hello everyone, As a self-published author, it can be incredibly hard navigating the publishing world around you. I am in the process (and have been since June!) of getting Missing into Barnes & Noble. This is requiring a lot of effort, but I am hoping to see the PAPERBACK there. What are some places you would love to see my PHYSICAL PAPERBACK books? I would love to try and add more places for it. What I Recently Finished Reading: He's always been the token gay best friend. Now, stuck between a warring bride and groom hurtling toward their one perfect day, he's finally ready to focus on something new: himself. Domenic Marino has become an expert at code-switching between the hypermasculine and ultrafeminine worlds of his two soon-to-be-wed best friends. But this summer—reeling from his own failed engagement and tasked with attending their bachelor and bachelorette parties—he's anxious over having to play both sides. The pressure is on. The bride wants Dom to keep things clean. The groom wants Dom to "let loose" with the guys. And Dom just wants to get out of this whole mess with his friendships intact. But once the rowdy groomsmen show up at the beach house—including a surprise visit from the groom's old frat brother, handsome and charming PGA star Bucky Graham—chaos (and unexpected romance) quickly ensues. By the time Dom returns for the bachelorette party, he's accumulated a laundry list of secrets that threaten to destroy everything—from the wedding, to Bucky's career, to the one thing Dom hasn't been paying nearly enough attention to lately: his own life.

- Amy Hello everyone, Just a quick update about my books that I wanted to let you know about: while I am having a tremendously fun time with reading as much as I have been able to, I have also been writing nonstop. I have about three books that are in the process of being edited. With the varying rates that it is taking for different editors to do their job, I am excitedly anticipating one of these books to be published before the end of the year! I am so exited. Do you think it's a sequel to one of my previous books or do you think it has an entirely new premise? Let me know what you think! What I Recently Finished Reading:
Hello everyone, My love for reading has come back strong! I have recently bought about five books, which isn't a lot, but I had to tone down how much I was spending. So in the future you will see that I am reading: One of Us Is Lying, One of Us is Next, Twisted, Icebreaker, and She is Next. I am really into the thriller and YA novels, which is why I have bought so many books in that subject. Icebreaker is the only book that isn't in that genre and it is because I have seen so many good reviews for it on TikTok. I can't wait to read it, but am determined to read all of the other books from Giveaways and reread books around my house first. So it might take a while for me to read all of them. For now, enjoy my WWW. What I Recently Finished Reading:
Hello everyone, Last week I mentioned about reading books that don't initially draw you in. This week, I was just curious what you do with all of your books? For me, I have a small bookshelf that I put my books on. If I absolutey LOVE them, they are put on my CD shelf since the top rack is big enough to allow books to stay on there. If I liked it, they go on a regular shelf. If I did not like them, I donate them. I am thinking about keeping all books that are first editions though. Regardless if I like them.

Hello everyone, I have been crazy with reading! During the summertime, I allow myself that opportunity to relax and join new books that I have read. If you have been reading my past blogs, you will notice that I have won A LOT of GoodReads giveaways! Before, I had been entering every single giveaway. Now, it is no longer the case as I have won a lot of books that do not interest me - some you will see on here in upcoming WWW Wednesday's. I have started to only enter ones I like so there will be less winners as we continue on. What I Recently Finished Reading:
Hello everyone, The smashwords sale for Innocent has OFFICIALLY ended. Thank you to everyone who had bought my books at a discounted price - I really appreciate it. I have recently asked for a bit more time off of work for the summer. As many of you know, I am a teacher, but also have a side job that I hold during the school year. During the summer, I free up my availability, but I do not need to work all of my availability. To me, the summer is a way I can decompress from the previous school year. Anyway, I had asked for more time off so that I can read, swim, and write (my favorite summertime hobbies). So expect more of these! What I Finished Reading Bombay’s only female solicitor, Perveen Mistry, grapples with class divisions, sexism, and complex family dynamics as she seeks justice for a mistreated young woman in this thrilling fourth installment in Sujata Massey’s Agatha and Mary Higgins Clark Award–winning series. Bombay, 1920s. At a lavish fundraiser party for the launch of a new women’s hospital, the grandson of Lord Bhatia, an influential aristocrat, is badly burned in an accident—but a young servant, Sunanda, rushes to save him. Instead of being lauded as a hero, Sunanda is dismissed from the household, and simultaneously, suspiciously charged with “child murder”—also known as abortion. Perveen Mistry, Bombay’s only female solicitor, cannot stand by while this heroine is mistreated and takes her on as a client. Perveen goes as far as inviting Sunanda to live with the Mistrys, as Sunanda’s family has put her out of the house in shame at her supposed crime. The Mistry home is full of tension, as Perveen’s sister-in-law, who has just given birth, is struggling with new motherhood, and Perveen’s father is less than happy to have a disgraced servant under his roof. Perveen herself is going through personal turmoil as she navigates a societally taboo relationship with a handsome librarian. When the Mistrys’ servant residence is set aflame, Perveen realizes just how much is at stake in this case: has someone extremely powerful framed Sunanda to cover up another crime? Will Perveen be able to prove Sunanda’s innocence without endangering her own family? Sujata Massey has returned with another expertly researched and chillingly prescient exploration of 1920s Bombay.

Hello everyone, I have made a self-goal of posting once a week on my blog. Currently, I have 8 followers, but am hoping to eventually grow that number as well. Lately, I have been posting a bunch of WWW Wednesdays. If I do not post a Wednesday blog, then I will post regular content. It can be about Innocent, Missing, new books, or my personal life. If you have a preference, let me know down in the comments! What I Recently Finished Reading:
