Then I saw this book on another blog. I got lucky, I was able to get the audio version from my library. The Comfort of Crows is read by the author. She has a very calm, relaxing voice that is easy to listen to; plus the content is one year in nature a chapter at a time.
I'm in a newsletter round robin with Tami Lund. This is a group of authors who feature one of the other authors in the group each month. This book, which is free, is a rock star romance that features my favorite trope--fake relationship. There is just something about a couple pretending to be in love that I always find enjoyable.
Here is the book blurb:
Sam Stokes, the drummer for the ultra-popular rock band, Panic Station, and Holly McGregor, their vocalist, appear to have the perfect relationship, much to their fans’ delight.
But guess what? It’s all a lie, perpetuated by social media, created to help catapult the band to fame.
And Sam is sick of it. He’s tired of pretending. He wants out.
But Holly doesn’t want him to quit. What will their fans think? How will the band carry on?
More importantly, what will Holly do without him?

A few days into this new year, and it's March 2003 all over again. March 20, 2003, is when GWB invaded Iraq. Not Great. I'll never get over the presidents we could have had. Al Gore, Kamala Harris.
I go back to work tomorrow, which is good overall. I get to spend my days helping small humans learn how to socialize with their peers and learn their letters, numbers, and the days of the week. We are also going to go see our daughter and attend a college basketball game at her school. The big question for that is, do I get popcorn? I think we are going to dinner first, and that will spoil my popcorn appetite. In my opinion, popcorn at sporting events isn't as good as movie theater popcorn, but it's usually good and salty. I like salty popcorn, and I have no issues with sodium so, I've got that going for me.
This week my goal is to make time to read my new pretty book Goblin Mode. What are your plans for the week?

Here we are, ready to say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026. There is plenty of bad stuff to go around, but I'm making the effort to hope for good things for all of us, and my focus for 2026, I probably mentioned here already, is more joy and less stress. Is it doable? Yes, of course! All I have to do is try!
Do you have a focus, goal, or resolution for 2026?
Readingwise, I hope to finish more books. I've got a bunch of partially finished books sitting around begging me to open them back up!

After months of work, Love and the Three of Cups is out in the world. I found so much joy in writing Hannah and Kate's story. One bonus was that I got to introduce new characters, and those characters are clamoring for their own stories—stay tuned!
Here is a little bit about the book, and a link to add it to your ereader or get a paperback copy!
Hannah's crush on Kate was one-sided…until tonight.
Hannah has never been happier. With her ex in the rearview mirror for two years now, she’d settled into life in Marley Creek—home to her long-time crush. She’s ready to make a bold move when she’s invited to a party at the striking blonde’s pet bakery.
Kate’s successful business is on the brink of something huge. Then, the drop-dead gorgeous redheaded Hannah kisses her, and Kate questions her no-relationships rule.
Hannah’s life is on standby waiting for Kate’s texts. So, when Kate doesn’t invite her to a meaningful event, Hannah must decide if she is going to walk away or fight for her. Kate is falling for Hannah, but will fear from a past experience keep her from committing?
When Hannah’s ex threatens to destroy her new life, will this couple let the past tear them apart, or will Hannah and Kate fight for a fresh start together?
If you’re looking for a steamy, sapphic small-town romance full of holiday vibes, age gap, and found family, Love and the Three of Cups is perfect for you!
I'm writing this at 6:30 pm on Christmas Eve. Soon our annual viewing of It's a Wonderful Life will begin. My plan is to make a plate of charcuterie for dinner and enjoy the classic tale of one person realizing what a difference they can make.
As the year ends, it's a great time to think about what you want from your life. My plans for 2026 are to seek more joy and less stress. A wise woman recently shared these words with me:

Friday afternoon at 3:30pm Winter Break began! I kicked off my break by getting into pajamas as fast as possible when I got home. Then on Saturday, I got a facial. This was my celebration for finishing not only the first semester of school, but also for finishing my latest book! Love and the Three of Cups is uploaded and will be published the day after Christmas!

Today my plan is to wrap up my present wrapping--LOL
What are your plans for today?
Readingwise, I'm still reading my way through my holiday book stack. I hope to finish three books this week and watch my favorite holiday movies before the big day.
