I'm SO EXCITED to be reading this!! It showed up in my inbox today--I quite literally couldn't wait to start it.
I've been looking forward to this story ever since I requested it while reading A Royal Masquerade. I adored Poppy so much that I wanted more. And here it is!
Poppy's Peril is officially in the beta reading phase as of now, so it's coming. But it will still be a while, so remain patient. ;)

*happy sigh* I love this book! I enjoyed it so much once again. I'm excited for other fans of the Tales of Ambia to read it!

I'm reading Poppy's Peril again, this time the ARC copy for advanced reviewers and a final proofread. It's coming to the rest of you soon!
I'm enjoying it so much!! I have more space now to lose myself in the story and imagine the scenes, even as I continue to pay attention to practical things.
I'm savoring all my favorite scenes and moments, and especially Poppy's character arc and friendships.

Ahhh, the story is even more amazing in the edited and expanded version!
I finished this round of reading two days ago. I'll read it once more before it's released.
Tales of Ambia fans! Who wants a sneak peek? I posted a tiny but lovely excerpt on my Instagram account, with special permission from the author. I'll put a link in the comments!
Also, I've seen the cover, and oh MY!! :D It is gorgeous! <3

We're back at it! I'm once again helping author Allison Tebo with editing Poppy's Peril! We're almost done with one of the final rounds of revision.
I'm so excited to see this wonderful short story published! It's a companion sequel to The Reluctant Godfather and A Royal Masquerade.
It's all coming together--within a few months, it should be in readers' hands at last.
Comment below if you're excited too! :D

Finally back at it, now that life has calmed down a bit! I'm still enjoying Poppy's Peril so much!!
I adore Poppy, and she's so much like me. I loved the chapters showing her personality and struggles, and her apprehension about the future--while danger crept closer underneath.
Now I'm in the middle of intense action, and I love watching Poppy face fear and danger with newfound courage despite her fear.

I'm still reading this! I'm enjoying it SO MUCH!! *heart-eyes and emotions*
I adore Poppy with all my heart--and relate to her on a deep level, in so many ways. I love the chance to see more of her character arc and story.
I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the doc for an entire month--life was overwhelming and prevented me. But that wasn't because I wasn't enjoying the story. ;) I'm SO happy to be back at it!
