There are stacks of books on the floor in my bedroom. I have bookshelves, too—that's not the problem; just too many books. These are the ones on my early fall reading line-up. Some of them are newish; some have been in one of my stacks for a while, and I'm happy to finally pull them out. 1/3

I just finished my first novel. I have never written so fast nor had so much fun. I love this story and these characters so very much. I'm so proud of myself and this book that I cannot stop crying. Not my usual "book is done" reaction!
