June 2019 Book Haul (And Announcements)

I'm not sure how many of you have noticed this, but I haven't done a book haul post since (I believe) March. The reason? Because I didn't have any new books to post as a haul.

It's very sad, yes, but I'm also very happy to say that I've added two new books to my shelves in the month of June -- so I can do a book haul post! Small, but it's a post.

Anywho, what with moving and vacation, these last two months have been absolutely crazy, but in a quick local bookstore trip, I managed to find two books that I've been looking for for quite a while. (Sorry, Google images will have to work for this one, since I didn't take one myself.)

The Candlestone and Circles of Seven // Bryan Davis

I've had the first book in Davis's Dragons in Our Midst series for I don't know how long. I've read through most of this series (including DIOM as well as Oracles of Fire and Children of the Bard) at one point, but I don't recall most of the series, unless you count some epic moments with Walter. I've been wanting to re-read all of them for a while, but when you've only got the first book -- let's face it, it's not that enticing.

Bryan Davis hasn't typically been a favorite author of mine, but I recently started reading his Dragons of Starlight, and suddenly I'm more interested in reading more. I did not care for Echoes from the Edge or the Reapers trilogy, but his dragon stories are pretty interesting (from what I've read).

Well, there's the grand book haul, and now I just have three more things to say:

ONE

Spindle Dreams is on its way! I've hit a number of snags dealing with the cover and formatting, but I believe we're on top of all of that, and yesterday I ordered the official first proof copy to check for any last errors before we release the cover.

Thus, COVER REVEAL IS COMING SOON! I'm super stoked to finally be sharing this with you guys. It's taken way too much time to get to this point -- I'll be the first to say that.

TWO

I have joined the ranks of fairytale enthusiasts over at Fairy Tale Central! I was super excited to see this pet project of Christine, Arielle, and Faith take off a few months ago, and I've been pretty religious about keeping up with their posts. And this month, Hayden and I have joined up to help write posts and do odd jobs for our wonderful fairy godmothers. Since I'm mommy as well as writer, I will probably be posting there the least out of the five, but I count it such an honor to be included.

Fairytales are just awesome, ok?

And...

THREE

Today, July 5th, marks the official 22 week mark of my second pregnancy. I'm still in shock that God has blessed our family with another baby, and I can't wait to meet our little one in early November! It's going to be fun seeing our daughter be a big sister -- she loves babies!

God bless!
