Christine Kelly Reads and Writes

I truly am shocked I read two books this month. It was a doozy between more personal things, a full-time job ramping up for the last bit of summer, and back and forth between MI and IL. It was just a lot.

But now school has started, and hopefully, I will have more to report than TWO reads in a month. I will say I read two of my author’s manuscripts this month, so it wasn’t like I was twiddling my thumbs. I also have started more books than I can count, but have been torn away before I can finish and am still in the process.

The first book I read was The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen. I am SO excited that I will get to hear Megan speak (hopefully) this upcoming weekend at RomanceCon in Milwaukee. I will also (likely forget, but the thought is there) be getting my books signed by her. These stories are cozy and different while still the same. What I mean is- yes this romantasy has dragons, but they are entirely different than what you would expect and I absolutely adore it! Bonus, this is a later in life love with scenes that will live rent free in my head (tell me to stop!). IYKYK.

The second book I read (listened to) was Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter. This was my first Lynn Painter book and I devoured it. It was exactly what I needed- a lighthearted story that still made me *FEEL* so many things. I have learned one thing about myself, if there is a way to make the MFC jealous, I get all antsy inside.

Hopefully for the month of September I’ll have more to report for my monthly read, but I’m currently open to queries again, prepping to get my author’s on sub and writing a paranormal romance (knotting included currently).

What do you recommend I read this fall?
