What I'm reading
Books I've loved, books I keep recommending, and the ones I'll re-read until the spines give out. Updated randomly.
Incredible story
Elle Kennedy writing a thriller? Hell, yeah. This was a great, twisty, engrossing, story.

Top-notch psych thriller
Read this. Now. I could not put it down, much to the annoyance of my husband whose dinner was non-existant that night.

Why choose, indeed!
The very first Why Choose book I read. And loved. Zayd and Creed are delicious.
Find on Amazon →Behind the books
Everything I actually use when I'm drafting, plotting, and procrastinating. Things that live permanently within arm's reach.
The ONLY hand moisturizer
I had dry, cracked, lizard-skin hands, and this stuff got rid of it all. This is absolutely the best moisturizer I have ever used, and now glancing down when I type no longer makes me wonder who the 120-year-old hands belong to.

Shimmery goodness
Gifted to me by a reader and a friend, these are in permanent use now. Pun totally intended.

I have tried every pen. This is the one. End of discussion.

Feeling sprinty?
A gift from my British Bestie, this ridiculous little thing sits on my desk and makes me grin doing writing sprints.

Clackity clack
Pink. Retro. Makes very satisfying clicky noises when I type.

Cool and quiet
Because writing all those schmexy scenes gets a little sweaty. Not even kidding.
Find on Amazon →The reading setup
The things that make a reading session feel like a full experience. Blankets, candles, and the other non-negotiables.
Arthritic hand-helper
Love a mag safe Pop Socket for my Kindle. Makes my hands much happier, and the pinky-purple color fits my aesthetic.

Non-negotiable
This thing is ridiculous! Super soft, perfect thickness.

Not just for colds
I love mint tea, and the hint of juniper added to this one is delicious.
