Good morning! This #SockSunday I'm working on editing my short story. The ending is downright chilling, but I'm struggling to make the entire story creep. Maybe it's because I'm so cozy in my #chapters reading socks and PJs and the sun is streaming in through the window. Hard to write horror when you're so comfortable! 😂 . Writers out there: Do you ever struggle with the tone of your stories? Any tips? . . . . . #amwriting #amediting #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #author #writer #writelife #writerslife #socks #readingsocks #cozy #buffy #buffythevampireslayer #notebook #inspiration #writersofig #writingcommunity #dailyquotes #writing #lazysunday #sundaymorning #pjs
I got the draft manuscript for the anthology I'm publishing in! This is actually the first short story that I sold, and I just can't wait to share it with the world!!! The anthology “Futuristic Canada” published by Dark Helix Press should be released this spring. What a great start to the weekend. 😊 .

Tonight I'm digging into Adriana Mather's new book "Killing November", which comes out on March 26th by Knopf books. I'm hooked! I can tell this is going to be a long night... Too bad I have a lot to do at work tomorrow... 😬#ireadpastmybedtime . . . . . #amreading #booklover #advancedreadercopy #instareads #bookstagram #booklove #read #reading #booknerd #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #onemorechapter #amreadingya #ya #spies #espionage #bookaholic #bibliophile #hotchocolate #cozy #randomhouse
"The Escape Room" by Megan Goldin is SOOO freaking good! It comes out July 30th. Mark your calendars! Thank you to #netgalley for the arc for review! . ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ (obviously) . Read the full review here (link in bio): https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-escape-room-by-megan-goldin/ . Synopsis Four Wall Street finance hot shots are invited by their company to an escape room. How bad can it be? The rules are simple: Solve the puzzles to escape. They quickly discover that this escape room is unlike any other: it’s in a cramped elevator. The puzzles are also different from typical escape rooms. The questions are personal… and the stakes are high. There’s also one puzzle that’s up for the reader to solve. Which one of them is a killer? .🍷. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an intense and quick read. If you’re a slower reader, you shouldn’t pick this up too close to bedtime, or you’ll never get to sleep. 💰💰💰 The Escape Room is gripping from its very first page. The writing is fast-paced and engaging. While characters are fleshed out quite nicely and there is a lot of description and introspection, the plot never lags. Every word serves a special purpose, drawing the reader deeper and deeper into the pages. . . . . . #amreading #bookreview #bookstagram #bookblog #bookphotography @netgalley #theescaperoom #escaperoom #puzzles #goodreads #advancedreadercopy #arc #beachread #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #onemorechapter #booklover #booklove #instareads #readersofinstagram #read #reading #psychologicalthriller #amreadingthriller #finance #wallstreet
I always make time to drop by this bookstore whenever I visit Frankenmuth, Michigan. Such a cute little town! Has anyone been? I always seem to find great books in this little bookshop! I also love the store with all the fairy ornaments. So cute! #traveltuesday . . . . . . #travel #amreading #booklover #bookstore #frankenmuth #frankenmuthmichigan #travel #wanderlust #germany #german #booknerd #shopping #architecture #bookshop
