Well, maybe I’ll get some more reading in, too. Anyway, here’s
what I read during the week:
Feb 7: “Beautiful Redemption” by Kami Garcia and MargaretStohl. This is the fourth and final book of the Caster Chronicals, a YA
paranormal. Blurb from cover: Ethan Wate has spent most of his life longing to escape the
stiflingly small Southern town of Gatlin Lena
Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin,
hidden in plain sight. And he never could have expected that he would be forced
to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about. So when Ethan awakes
after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find
a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves.
Back in Gatlin, Lena is making her own
bargains for Ethan’s return, vowing to do whatever it takes--even if that means
trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left
to protect. Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must
once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the
Beautiful Creatures series. I
really enjoyed this series and the final book did it justice. I’m one happy
reader. I gave this 5 stars on Goodreads.
After I clean the house (again--ugh, but I’ve got company
coming Saturday, so it has to be done), I’m rewarding myself with finishing the
first draft by watching a marathon of all five Twilight movies. What kind of
reward do you give yourself when you finish a project?
Happy reading!

Big-time congrats, Stacy. I hope your daughter gives you good feedback.
I don't think I really celebrate the completion of a draft. I just know I usually push back from the desk with a profound sense of relief!
Congrats on finishing! I don't usually do much to celebrate that - maybe a dinner out (which we do often enough anyway) or I buy a new computer game and let myself play for an evening.
I seriously doubt that you wrote total crap. Congrats on all your hard work.
Jeff - I do have that sense of relief. But I'm celebrating, too! :)
Jennette - Yeah, dinner out is nothing new for us, we do THAT all the time! But I don't watch as many movies now as I used to, so it'll be a treat (even if I have seen them before!).
Ivy - I don't know...I've been known to write crap before. Book #2 (which will never see the light of day) is proof! Haha!
Woo Hoo! Congrats on finishing.
Though, Isn't it very hard when we look forward to housework.
Congrats on finishing that first draft.
I celebrate by reading. I never have enough reading time when I'm immersed in a writing project.
Sandra - I NEVER look forward to housework. And I still haven't done any cleaning. I'm blaming the Olympics, now. Haha! :)
LD - Oh, I'm reading, too, between watching the Olympics. I seem to have this problem... :)
