Last week on FYFA (and in my life):
This week has been incredibly hectic, and I have to say that my blog has lost a little steam because of it. I just feel like I can’t keep up with everything right now. I have fallen behind of NaNoWriMo, and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to catch up in time, which is stressing me out. I know the 50k word count is kind of arbitrary, and my book wouldn’t be finished at that point, but I was still hoping to reach that goal and keep myself motivated to keep going on it. But lots of things have just gotten in the way (including the normal life things like homeschooling my kids and getting together with old friends). But, on the positive side, I finished a first edit of a new MG novel by L.A. Starkey, and did a first read-through of Allie Juliette Mousseau’s new book (which I’ll be working on editing next). Keep your eye out for their books!
So, anyway, the rest of November might continue to be a little light on posts while I try to catch up on some things – I promise not to disappear completely, though!
Here’s what you may have missed this past week:
- Paranormal Keepers by Jen Naumann (review & giveaway) – Still time to win a signed paperback!
- The Vault of Dreamers by Caragh M. O’Brien (review)
- Promise Me This by Christina Lee (review)
Next week on FYFA:
- The Shape of My Heart by Ann Aguirre (review & giveaway)
- Let’s Discuss – How Does Your Personality Affect Your Blog? (Meant to write this one last week, but it didn’t happen – I’ll probably get to it this week, though, unless I feel inspired to write something else!)

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Aw, thanks for linking to my giveaway 🙂 I think I got a review request for The Last Orphans too, but I am painfully behind on responding to emails. I actually do really want to read it, but ugh, TIME. I can’t wait to read your review on Shape of My Heart, I have only read I Want It That Way so far, but am excited to read the others! Hope you have a great week 🙂
Ooooh, those two look like great reads! There’s something specifically about Remake that has caught my attention… I haven’t heard of either in the past, but I’ll definitely be checking them out! 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you think of The Shape of My heart. 🙂
The cover of remake looks really familiar to me. I think I have seen that girl floating around on covers before. haha
Thanks so much for checking out my discussion post!
Last week of NaNoWriMo, no wonder you’re feeling stressed. I can’t even imagine! I completely forgot that the Gratitude Giveaway Hop was still going strong because it started so early, I’d better get back to it. Thanks for the reminder! I can’t wait to read your review of The Shape of My Heart. 🙂
