Happy Sunday, today I am going to a Books and Brew event at a brewery in Chicago. I have finally finished having my covers redone. Yay! I have had covers with stock photo people on them, and now I have illustrated covers. Let me tell you, readers are way more interested in the new covers.  Below is one of the new covers.

After eight years, a dream I had when we bought our townhome has finally be realized. I set up my desk and writing space in our walk in closet. It's cozy, has a door, and a window. Finally I don't have to wander the house trying to find somewhere to do zoom calls. 

As part of my new space, I moved my phone charger, and that means now I don't have my phone w/in arms reach when I'm in bed. I hope this means I'll sleep better. We will see. I'm trying to stop being on my phone if I am watching a show. 

Readingwise, I have read some books! 

This is a YA fantasy book.

I read Bad Luck and Trouble and Die Trying. Now my hold at the library has come up for Tripwire so I'm doing the audio for that. 

This summer I was thinking about reading the Nalini Singh Guild Hunter series while I can still get the books in mass-market paperback. Have you read it? Thoughts? 

Have You Been Getting Your Steps In?

 I've been working on meeting or exceeding 10,000 steps per day.  A while back I lost my Fitbit so I've been using my phone to track my steps, and since I put my phone down often during the day, I have to make a concerted effort to get all the steps in before going to bed. Of course, if I'm out running or walking I do love to listen to audiobooks to keep me going.  

I came across Red Queen because I was looking for a fantasy book that was available as an audiobook from my public library.  I enjoyed it, it's very similar, plotwise to more than a couple other fantasy YA books.  I did enjoy it enough that I want to know what happens next and am continuing the series. If you like fantasy told from a female lead POV, give this series a try and see what you think!

3.5 stars 

Also, I didn't feel like turning on the oven the other day so, I did some internet research and found out that you can make pork chops in the Air Fryer.  Preheat your air fryer on 400 degrees for 5 mins then add the seasoned pork chops and cook for 12 minutes! Easy and Fast!
