I'm still playing catch-up to tell everyone what I was working on for the 4 weeks that I was sick, so here are a couple more of the books that you missed. First up is When Autumn Leaves, a YA coming-of-age story: Autumn is barely surviving in the terrifying world of middle school. She’s also a middle child with a family that’s always at odds and fighting, but she’s carved out her own world that has magic, horses, and YouTube dances. Then her family uproots her whole world and moves across the country. As a loner at her old school, she was bulled for her weirdness. Her once-best friend decided to become BFFs with another girl when they were stuck at home during the pandemic, and she was often alone and depressed. The new school is different. From day one, the neighborhood kids come over to play. And after that, she finds several friends at middle school, including a new BFF. They are two peas in a pod. Underneath it all is the start of puberty and the desire to never date a boy until she graduates from college with honors. When her parents announce they’re getting a divorce, Autumn has to figure out what really matters to her when it comes to family and friends. And I read an excerpt from chapter 1 here: Final word count: 41,115 words. Next up is the first of a 3-book rom-com series that I've done that centers around the world of sports. The first book is called For Love & Rivalry and here's what it's about: Angelie can’t believe that her boss has sent her into enemy territory—she’s a Yankees fan who’s been transferred to the city of Boston. Saying “no” isn’t an option if she wants to keep her job, since the bills won’t pay themselves. Once there, she gets into it with a guy at a grocery store who looks vaguely familiar—at first, she only knows him as her hunky neighbor, but he turns out to be one of the baseball players she so reviles! She makes no bones of her hatred of the Red Sox, yet the sparks fly between them anyway. As she reluctantly gets to know him, the question remains: can she root for a new team and still call herself a fan of the old? And me reading a short excerpt from Chapter 1 of the book: Final word count: 40,502 words. That's all for now! More books coming your way soon. Have a great day!
