Here goes!

I Flung a glob of black paint at the canvas, pretending it was Aiden’s head.

My best friend Zoe entered the old garage turned art studio in back of my house and pointed at my latest artistic endeavour. “What are you doing?”

I repeated the maneuver and enjoyed the wet splatting sound the paint made when it hit the canvas. “I call this piece Artistic Anger Management.”

Now scroll down…

Not quite yet, so keep going…

Working with her best friend’s brother at Betty’s Burgers, free-spirited Delia starts to see Jack in a new light. Not only has Jack-the-Jerk turned into a hottie, he’s even acting like a nice guy, who rescues dogs and knows how she likes her coffee. But if Jack is into her, then why is he keeping her a secret? Of course, if her best friend doesn’t approve, Delia could lose the only family she’s ever known.

Seeing Delia in her retro waitress uniform throws Jack’s world out of whack. She’s always been just another pain in the butt little sister…not a datable female. But she’s rockin’ the Pie Princess tiara, and even her hot-pink striped hair is sexy. What’s that about? He needs to get his head on straight, because artsy, funky Delia and her nonconformist ways don’t fit in his safe and ordered world.

I’m battling a reading slump right now and haven’t really done that much reading in the last few days. Work has been incredibly hectic and I’ve been super busy and tired. I did get a bit more sleep the last two days… like an extra 1/2 – 1 hr and that seemed to help. I’m about 35% into this book and so far I’m liking it. It’s not holding my interest though… but that could be because I’m drained from work. I’m hoping to finish this today and continue reading Black Bird of the Gallows and hopefully start a new book this weekend. Hopefully… because tonight I’ll be watching IT, tomorrow is Pasadena Loves YA event and my friend’s baby shower, and on Sunday I have an appointment with my mom to meet up with the banquet hall manager for her 60th birthday next year… sooo yeah hopefully I’ll have a few hours to read and take bookstagram photos.

Hello lovelies! Time for another WWW Wednesdays which is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words.

Just answer these three questions:

What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

I just recenty finished reading This Body Won’t Break by Lea Mckee, Kalifus Rising and The Raven God both by Alane Adams.

I didn’t get to read as much as I wanted to so I’m still currently reading Black Bird of The Gallows by Meg Kassell. I’m about 35% done and so far it’s eerie and interesting and I’m liking it a lot. I also just started Boomerang Boyfriend by Chris Cannon today.

I’m still planning on reading Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken since I didn’t get to it last weekend. Up next, I’d like to read Pumpkin Spice Secret by Hillary Homzie and Nyxia by Scott Reintgen. I’m feeling like a reading slump is about to happen…not because I don’t like what I’m reading, but adulting and work is kicking my butt like crazy! I’m trying really hard to keep myself motivated..maybe a good night of sleep/rest will do the trick.
