As a Canadian I can tell you that I didn't pick up one book during Reading Week. : ) Yes, in theory we are to use this time to 'catch up' on our studies but it really is a time to go back home and re-connect with your high schools buds, see Family and do nothing and let your family dote on your because their scholar hath returned. They're just stoked to see you so you take full advantage of the laundry, the meals and the sleep ins. Then you meet up at the bar and party and then repeat. OR- you had down south: we all avoided places like Florida but instead would go to all inclusives or drive to Myrtle Beach cuz why not? But yes, I appreciate you took the literal meaning of Reading Week! And of course for many they do use it for serious studying. Just not anyone I knew!

My oldest and I are reading a novel together during Spring Break—and it was their idea! 😄

It’s the first Dragonlance novel—Dragons of Autumn Twilight. We're still working on it 😄 But, yeah. It’s good.

I've not heard of Reading Week before, but it sure sounds like something I would enjoy!

I think you would! I need to add your novel to my list of books! Maybe share the link to it here in case others are interested too.

Exciting! Congrats! What is the second one called? Is it a sequel?

The title of the second book is Radiant and I plan to release it in October. It is sequel, of sorts. It does have the same three women as my debut, but the main character is different. In Redolent, Sonia was the MC. In Radiant, Dani is the MC. I have plans for a book about Lin, the third woman.

Cool! I have Redolent on my Kindle but haven't read it yet. I'm going to move it up in my TBR! I want to read it before your next book comes out! I love the cover too.
