Merch Received & Reading Goals

Merchandise has Arrived!

All of my merchandise has arrived for my book bundles! I’ve officially received everything but the books. I’m still waiting for one more proof to arrive, so that I can approve the final hardcover. Due to the artwork that I included in the physical copy, some of them hit the edges of the pages, and I needed to reformat it to make sure that all of the artwork does exactly that. I’d like the copies to be as perfect as they can be.

I’m expecting this (hopefully) final proof to arrive in a couple days. If it’s perfect, I’ll have all of my physical copies here and available by the release date! I also plan to post a few videos on Tiktok of me wrapping and packaging up book bundles.

 

Reading Recommendations

Okay, as opposed to last week, I’m still internally determined to reach my reading goal for the year, even though there’s only nine more days left in the year and I’ve still got ten books left to read... yeah... I’m sure I won’t make it, not unless I include the many times that I’ve read the entirety of Love: The One Who Leaves. Honestly, I might do that anyway!

As for reading recommendations, I just finished reading the Dark Elite trilogy by Eva Ashwood. 10/10, I’d read it again, and I’m buying a physical copy for my collection. The second book was my favorite of the three.

 

My Current Read

Since Eva Ashwood is an auto-buy author for me, I knew that I’d get closest to reaching my reading goal if I finished the year off with her works. So, I also started reading the Black Rose Kisses series, and she’s knocking it out of the park again with this one. Book one, Fight Dirty, is already pulling me in like a moth to a flame. Definitely recommended.

 

Recent Finds Unrelated to Reading

I suppose some may not call this a “find,” however, I only just recently found this. On Vistaprint, they include an option in the sticker section to hire a designer for cheap to create a design for your brand. I offered a few options for colors and styles, as well as a photo reference that I liked and have been using for my Etsy page, and I have to admit that the first—and only—design that I was sent is going to be my new logo for my brand. It fits well with the name I’ve chosen and my style, so well done Vistaprint!
