No review this week because I’m busy with NaNoWriMo, an annual challenge to write an entire novel draft in the month of November. This is my fifth year doing it and I’m off to a good start. I’m working on a YA novel this time, but a critique partner has my first romance for a beta read right now, and I’ll get back to it in December in order to prepare it for some contests. But still, November’s a challenging month for anything except writing the new book. NaNo tradition holds that you are supposed to work on a brand new book starting November 1 and on that book only, even though the goal is to hit 50,000 words by November 30. I don’t get as much reading done this month.

The next romance I’m going to read is Sarina Bowen’s just-released fourth True North book, Bountiful. I’m very excited (I think this is my favorite romance series) and a review will follow.
