New Year's Resolution ~ Tackling my ever-growing TBR pile by @jsubject #amreading

Hello everyone! Happy 2017! It's great to be back at Romance Eh? Canadian Style for a new year. And we have some fresh faces here. They are new to the blog, but not new to writing. I hope you've enjoyed reading their posts so far.

Today I want to talk about the dreaded TBR (to be read) pile. If you're like me, yours is HUGE! I have books to read on my Kindle app, on my Kobo app, audio books on my Audible app, and physical books on my bookshelf. (Though I have to on my side table reminding me to hurry up and finish reading my current book so I can read them.)

Last year, I didn't read (or listen to) enough, and failed to reach my Goodreads reading goal. In fact, I haven't reached my goal since 2012, even though I reduced the number each year.

This year, I WILL reach my goal and, with any luck, surpass it. How? To start, I've gotten rid of all games on my phone. If I need something to do while I'm on it, I will read. Plus, I'm going to listen to more audio books. I still get to enjoy books that way, and can do it while busy with other things like cooking and other household chores.

My goal this year is the same as last year. 25 books. I WILL reach it. :) And I'm off to a great start, finishing an audio book yesterday while doing the dishes, and an ebook last night. That's two down and twenty-three to go (of the hundreds on my TBR pile). I've got this.

Here's what I just finished and what I'm reading next...

IT TOOK A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE will release January 30, 2017

The zombie story I wrote based on a dream will release at the end of this month. It's a New Adult Interracial Small Town Romance that takes place during a Zombie Apocalypse. Don't worry, there's no zombie love in this story. Just a couple who weren't supposed to get together if her parents had anything to say about it.

You can pre-order it already from Amazon, Google Play, iBooks, and Kobo.

HAPPY READING!

Seasons Greetings All the Way from Sault Ste. Marie by @LaynaPimentel #happyholidays #contest #2017goals

In a few short weeks, we’ll all be ready to tear down our trees and we’ll be sick of the snow. Yet, a little part of me is excited for next Christmas. By then, I’ll be a grandmother for the first time, and can’t wait for the chaos to begin.

2016 has been a mix of sour grapes and bittersweet endings for friends and family. As we move into a new year, I’ve got a great feeling there will be some redeeming things the universe will share with us.

Our families, careers and life in general are due for a wealth of pleasantness and happiness. Out with the old, in with the new. Speaking of which, we have some new ladies joining us here on the blog, so be sure to give them a warm welcome on their days.

I’m personally excited to get cracking on some novels next year. So who knows how the year will end on what is actually published. The important thing is I’m working on new content for you. I have a secret historical (regency) project I'm working on for a Summer release and another regency novel I'm hoping to pitch to agents later next year. In addition, I have 2 paranormal romance novellas I want finished in between, and last but not least, a super sexy and intense contemporary romance that is bound to piss off plenty of people. Before anyone can get carried away (not that you were), there's romance no-no's, but the plot does revolve a rather sensitive topic. How's that for a bit of mystery? hehe

What are you most excited about for next year?

Don’t forget to enter in year end giveaway, and if we don’t chat on Twitter or Facebook before January 9^th, I wish you all a very merry Christmas.

P.S. 

If y'all have a second to spare would you mind giving my most recent Thunderclap campaign a hand. The campaign is ending soon and I can use all the help I can get. Shadowed By Sin is on sale for only $2.99 which happens to be half off. I'm just looking for hand to help spread the word. No purchase necessary. :)
