My Book- Updates 4/2/19

So I realized when I was doing edits that a LOT has changed in my life since I wrote the first and even the final draft of my book. Like an incredible amount. Big life changes. Some positive, some negative. But they have changed my views on a few of the topics that I talk about in my book. 

Since I'm self publishing and came down with pnuemonia a week before my anticipated publication date- I needed to push back my publication date. I couldn't even write in bed. It was too much effort that I didn't have the energy to expend. So I slept and watched movies and coughed my lungs out. Now I'm feeling a lot better. Tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics. Woohoo!

This week I am doing rewrites. Next week final edits. Hopefully the week after that, submittal of the final manuscript. 

Keep up with me on social media  at @bethysbook.

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers.  Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses.  A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break.  Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...

Update on the month- Nov 2018

Hello Reader Folks! So, we are almost to the middle of November and I haven't finished a single book. Not one. I'm about halfway through Mirage and gave up on #NaNoWriMo due to work priorities being too steep to continue. Maybe I'll try again in a month with less work on the table. Maybe June? Work has been INSANE. And to top that off I'm feeling a little inadequate in comparison to the tons of bookstagram folks who are blowing through books every few days. Now that I'm home from my work trip I just want to spend time with my family doing nothing before we head out on our next adventure at Thanksgiving.  I think I set my own expectations too high for this month and for my participation in the bookstagram community. I really love the bookstagram community. I've gotten tons of great recommendations, found out about books I never would have considered previously, and been supported in my love of reading. I think I need to set my expectations for the rest of t...
