What books did you get for Christmas?
First, let me apologize for not blogging in so long. I’ve taken some much-needed time off and am back on track. I’m also curious about what else you’d like to see on this blog. I’m hoping to start some book reviews, but I have to find time to read some books first!
Some recent updates: A book I worked really hard to edit, Massachusetts Troublemakers by Paul Della Valle, is pubbing 1/13 and is available for preorder everywhere. It was such a fun book and a fantastic author with a lot of heart and humor. It was one of the first ones that acknowledged my work and made a great gift to my family, who were very enthusiastic about it, especially because they’re all Massachusetts natives. If you check it out, let me know how you like it!
I was also really pleased to receive some editing work from the company I interned with when I graduated college. They need some freelance editing done on one of the books in their For Beginners series–a series I’m already familiar with from my work with them–and I’m hopeful that if I do well on this first project, I’ll continue to get work from them. Here’s hoping!
Now on to the subject of this blog post. I know a lot of people got books for Christmas, which is great news! What books did you get and which ones are you most excited to read? I only received one, if you can believe it, J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and it’s one I already had–so I gave it to my mother. I did get a gift card to Barnes and Noble, so I’m thinking about starting the Sookie Stackhouse novels, picking up The Anglo Files, or picking up one of the new Gordon Dahlquist novels and canceling my Amazon order. I really need to get back to reading (and writing!)… soon I’ll have finished watching West Wing and I can get back to it!
