2018 was a fantastic year. I published two of my own books and somehow managed to read more than a hundred others. I’m still working on hitting my goal of one hundred twenty-five and I think I might just make it, but I wanted to get my book report in for those of you still shopping for book gifts.
In 2018 I celebrated the release of Tiger’s Dream in March and The Lantern’s Ember in September.
In no particular order, here is the list of my book boyfriends along with a link where you can purchase the book.
