A bunch of random things

This Friday's post is a mix of a few random topics. First off, I promised I would update you on my JeRoWriMo progress this month, and I'm happy to say that the challenge is really keeping me motivated and making progress. As of yesterday I've added a little more than 19,000 words to my manuscript, putting me just over 80,000 words on the manuscript and nearly two thirds of the way to the challenge goal. I still have maybe another 20,000 words to finish Tournai 4 (which still needs a title!), but I'm making solid progress to get it finished and submitted. I'm hoping for some productive writing time today, which I will be doing wearing my new fingerless gloves since it's so cold. They were the best purchase, and I'm wondering why I didn't buy a pair sooner.

Random promo stuff next: Dreamspinner is having two sales right now! All paperbacks are 25% off right now, and all paranormal ebooks are also 25% off. The ebook of The Prince's Consort is included in the paranormal sale, and the paperbacks of both Tournai books are included in that sale, so it's a great time to buy if you're a paperback lover. Check out the sales here. Also, there are still a few days left to enter the Goodreads giveaway for a signed copy of The Artist's Masquerade. Enter here:

Finally I realized it's been a long time since I talked about what I'm reading. Right now I'm reading and enjoying Betrothed: A Faery Tale by Therese Woodson. I'm also finally starting the new Lisa Kleypas historical. In between writing and edits, of course. Here are a few others I've read and enjoyed recently:

Radio Silence by Alyssa Cole - I don't usually read post-apocalyptic stories, but this one was highly recommended and I ended up really enjoying it. Then again it wasn't a disturbing post-apocalyptic book (no really scary stuff here). The hero and heroine had great chemistry. I'm going to have to read the second in the series to find out what caused the lights to go out, and because I liked John as a side character in this one and I want to read his story. 

Cath a Tiger by the Tail by Charlie Cochet - I love Charlie Cochet's THIRDs series, and I'd been waiting for Calvin and Ethan's book. This one definitely works best when read in series order.

Malachite by Kirby Crow - This fantasy romance is on the darker side, and there were times I wondered if I liked any of the characters, but the world is really intriguing and I'm looking forward to more in this series.

Out! by JL Merrow - A fun and funny addition to her Shamwell series that works as a standalone. I love how British her books are, and I've enjoyed all the books in this series.

It's going to be a chilly weekend here, and I'm hoping to spend some of it curled up with a book and a blanket (and more of it curled up with my laptop and a blanket) and hot cocoa. What are you reading this weekend?
