This Year My Goal is To Do Better

 For the third year in a row, I'm participating in the COYER challenge.  My goal this year is to be a more active member throughout the year because the COYER community is an exceptional group. Not only do you get to connect via online posts and enter to win prizes, but there are also monthly video chats.  This year I'm working on building friendships in the reading and writing community.  In general, I need more friendships in my life. Covid really did a number on my relationships. 

Would you like to talk to people about books this year?  Click here to find out more and join us! 


Yesterday I think I overtaxed my eyes.  I don't remember if I shared here that I had nose surgery right before Christmas? Yep. It was about midnight on the night before surgery when I realized that I probably wouldn't be able to wear glasses for a while. I miss being able to wear glasses so I can see my computer and my phone. I've been zooming my computer screen and using the maximum text size to read via Kindle, but it still stinks! Last night I did a grocery order and I think that was a big strain on my eyes. Today I have a crummy headache. I need to be good and pace myself because I am going to be going through my book and fixing errors as well as doing the formatting.  Plus I really want to get going on book two. I have most of the outline done and today I realized I can have my main characters get snowed in, or iced it. I'm thinking of a late winter ice storm. 

I used one of my credits for this audiobook and when I'm done I'll tell you about it! 




Lastly, in case you missed it!  You can preorder my book No Gouda Without You via Amazon! It's the first book in my Steamy Marley Creek Romance series!  It will also be available as a KU book if you use KU and after 1/23/2024 you can also order it in paperback!

I have done COYER, but the community isn't super supportive of romance readers or at least that was my experience. I think because most of them read more eclectically so there were many things I couldn't be a part of. I do participate in quite a few readalongs on romanstagram and the romance community on booktube to find my people lol

Hope you have fun with it though.

I decided to try COYER again this year, although I don't know how much I'll actually be involved with the social stuff. I never thought about how nose surgery would cause issues with glasses! That's got to be a pain! Good luck on getting your second book done too. I'll be checking out your first one, love that title! Thanks for visiting me earlier!

I am not participating in challenge this year, but I would like to be more active in the COYER community. It really is made up of a great group of people. I loved Last Night at The Telegraph Club and hope you enjoy it too.
