I realize fully that I have an obsession with books. I love to read and snatch up every free book that sounds interesting for my Kindle. I find that reading eases my stress and helps me to let things go, even if for a short time. I have plenty of time to read too as I do it when I breastfeed Jemma or when she is resting on me. I made a goal of 100 books this year and this is how I am doing:
Not bad, right? I am about half-way through another right now. I have several I want to write about but will keep it to a minimum today.
Connected (from the Twists of Fate series) from Jolyn Palliata is one that I have to share today. It is a novella and therefore a pretty quick read. I am doing a review for Jolyn next month and have gotten to know her over the course of the past week or so and she is an amazing person. Her writing blows my mind though. I read Connected a few nights ago while in bed. I couldn’t put the book down because I was so drawn to the story and the characters.
Rys is a rock star that finds himself in the body of a woman he has never met after her dies. His spirit lives in her. While that may sound very strange, and it is, it is so compelling to follow the characters. They get on each other’s nerves, they argue and have fun, and inevitably, they fall in love. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. As I mentioned, this is part of a series and I can’t wait for the second book. I won’t give away the ending to Connected but it certainly has me wishing for more of the story. I loved this book and have been recommending it to everyone I know. So, do me a favor and go get it and read it for yourself. I am dying to have other people read it so I can talk to them about it!
I, of course, have more to share with you but I am going to leave you with that one book today in hopes I can convince you to read it. I love Indie writers because their books are affordable and you know they are following their own vision for their work. Be sure to support them as I do so they can keep doing what they do!
