Hey guys! How has your week/month been?
September has been a crazy whirlwind for me and after I missed the first two sunday posts, I decided that I would hold all my books until the end of the month to do a monthly wrap up.
If you follow me on instagram, you will see that my family got a new puppy! I have been sharing pictures of him like crazy, along with the books that I have been getting in the mail.
Another thing you may have noticed is that there was a film set in one of my pictures. My office filmed 150 videos on various legal questions and topics. In one day! That was all kinds of stressful. Basically, all of the attorneys in my office sat in one room and we each took turns being filmed. You would sit in a chair with these bright lights shining on you and would be asked a question…you didn’t know what the question would be about. And then you would just talk. Answer the question in about a minute or so, but the challenge was that you didn’t get a chance to practice and they weren’t going to edit our responses, so it had to flow. It was nerve wracking coming up with cohesive and, hopefully, somewhat intelligent sounding responses. I was the youngest attorney in the bunch, so that was an extra level of discomfort. We will see how the videos turned out in about a month.
ok now onto all the books I got in the month of September. (These are not all from this week)

Aww that puppy is adorable! I had to stop by your instagram to check thsoe pictures and he’s a cutie! Those legal interviews sound stressful, especially when you couldn’t practice and no editing. Nice haul you got. I also got Echoes for review from the author, just finished it this week and I really enjoyed it! Hope you have a great week!
Thanks so much. He is such a bundle of energy!
And Im glad you enjoyed echoes. I can’t wait to read it.
Okay the question thing totally would have stressed me out! I hope your’s went really well!
And WOW! Congrats on all the wonderful books, that is awesome and I hope you enjoy them all!!
The questions did have me stressed out. And I had to do 25 videos! but I think they went well. Who knows what my face looked like on camera though. haha
Must make sure I follow you on Instagram so I can see the puppy.
I have Pretending to Dance as well and it’s next on my reading list!
I can’t wait to see what you think of Pretending to Dance. And the puppy is adorable, I have been ptaking pictures of him non-stop lol
Sweet haul! Romancing the Dark is the one I am considering getting. Happy reading.
