Giveaways and New Reads

The weather here in New York is unbelievable for this time of year. I love that I can keep my door open while I write the next chapter of "My Work in Progress." It's also great to sit outdoors with a new book.

If you're searching for a new YA or Kindle Unlimited read look no further than these lists. I'm sure you will find something to fit.
