Austenesque Lovers TBR Pile Challenge 2018 discussion

Wish me luck! With my daughter graduating from high school in May and heading to college in the fall, I am going to be busy but will need JAFF to stay sane and ward off any tears. I'm also writing a JAFF novel. Living the crazy-busy life!

Thanks, Mary!

Anna... A great choice to ring in the new year. I loved that book... and that cover.

It was definitely a fun one!

Good luck with your reading and your writing.

Thanks, Vaarin!

One book down, Anna! How's your writing coming?

Debbie wrote: "One book down, Anna! How's your writing coming?"

I have 2 books going simultaneously; about 5,000 words on one, just over 1,000 on the other. So I'm plugging along, slowly but surely!

Better than being at a standstill, dear!

I can’t imagine how you do that, Anna! Two at once? Do they have different settings, different tones? How complicated!

Anna,I find it hard enough to read two books at the same time,never mind write two books simultaneously!!! Wow!!!

Debbie: Very true!

Abigail: Yes, they are very different. I expect that at some point (hopefully soon) one will demand all my attention and that will be the one I focus on and finish first!

Mary: That’s usually me too, but in an effort to just keep writing, I’m going wherever the muse and inspiration take me!

The Muse has inspired you to write not one but two books??? I am all astonishment!!! )Sorry! I couldn't resist! )
Wishing you the very best of luck in your endeavours. Hope the Muse continues to inspire,Anna.

Thanks, Mary! I have a couple other ideas brewing too!
