Next Top Project After Always?

In case y'all missed it, Always is in the stages of getting prepared for publication. I haven't declared a pub date yet because I still have a few things to finalize before I can make that decision.

What's in the works?

Whenever I need a break from the Top Project, I work on one of my various projects. You've heard about a few of them with my recent blog posts and boards on Pinterest. There's a WIP that dives into a dark side of anxiety, a love triangle project, a New Adult paranormal and a NA romance trilogy to give you a few ideas.

But what's the Top Project?

My next main focus is going to be the fifth book in the Bold as Love series. I don't want to take as long to get the next installment to you, but I can't promise anything. I'm hoping that I can get book five written over the summer. I'm really excited about that one and it's definitely a huge motivation.

Before I wrap this post up, I do want to thank all of my readers for the love, support, and patience. I can't wait to share Always with you all. Happy readings everyone!

Top Ten Tuesday - Favorite Book Covers Of Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Bold as Love Series Announcement

As I have started writing the fifth installment of the Bold as Love series, I realized a very important detail. As the series progress, the genre classification changes. Because of that, I have decided to break the series down into three parts. They will continue as normal, but the content is a little different as Jake and Emily age. I do hope that you will want to read about this couple all the way to the very end despite the change in genres. Below is how the series will be broken down.

The installment that ends each part will mostly conclude in such a way that it could be an end for the series, but it's not "The End" of their story until the last book in Part Three. So don't worry about cliffhangers in those.

Part One:
Sweetness and I'm Yours will be listed as Young Adult. I'm Yours can be an end for those who don't want to continue into a new genre with Jake and Emily. For those who want to see more of this couple, you will head to Part Two.

Part Two:
Whatever It Takes and Always will be listed as New Adult as the couple moves on to the next chapters of their lives. Always concludes as a possible end to their story as well, but if you want to follow them through until The End, head to Part Three.

Part Three:
The rest of the series will be listed as Adult as we are forging forward into that aspect of their lives.

Monday's Book Spotlight

 This week's book is the second in the Off series by Sawyer Bennett. I don't think you would have to read the first book, Off Sides, to read this one, but it's probably a good idea that you do, just so you can appreciate this one fully. You can see my thoughts on Off Sides here.

From Goodreads:
“There is a vulnerability there, hovering just below the surface. And I want to pick at it until I expose it. Then I want to kiss it." 

Two years ago, Emily Burnham, had an epiphany about the shallowness of her life. And she made it her mission to become a different person…a better woman. Out from under the controlling thumb of her mother, Emily is tasting the real world for the first time. And she likes it.

Nixon Caldwell has served his time in the Marine Corps, surviving two brutal tours in Afghanistan. He is back home, surrounded by what he likes best…isolation. It's certainly the best way to avoid confrontation of the consuming guilt that is weighing him down.

When an accident brings Emily and Nix together, he soon learns he is not the master of his own fate. Struggling with his own pain, Nix tries to guard himself against Emily’s charms. He wants her in his bed, but he doesn’t want her in his heart. 

Having grabbed life by the horns, Emily wants it all. But is she willing to accept just the small part of himself that Nix is offering? Can she reach the part of his soul that he has deemed to be Off Limits?

About the Songs Mentioned in Don't Panic

As a reminder, these are the songs mentioned in Don't Panic:

• "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith
• "Miss Me" by Andy Grammer
• "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You" by N'Snyc
• "Without You" by Keith Urban
• "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton
• "Fall into Me" by Brantley Gilbert
• "My Kind of Crazy" by Brantley Gilbert

For those that have read Don't Panic, did you wonder why I chose those songs? If you did, I'm here to tell you why!

The songs served a purpose. It wasn't about how it was Eli that was singing those songs. It wasn't about the fact that love is involved in those songs. It actually has nothing to do with the lyrics at all. I chose those songs because those are the few that I listen to when I'm having a panic attack. It was about the ability those songs had to relax me. How I could get lost in them and my worries would fade away.

That's why I chose those particular songs. They are on my phone under a playlist that I have just for attacks. Hopefully, you now understand why those were chosen. Not because of anything other than the fact that they can relax me during my attacks. In turn, Sam found them relaxing as well. The songs provided just the right amount of distraction we needed to bring the attacks down from it's climax.

You can look at my Don't Panic playlist on YouTube to find more songs that I find perfect for my anxiety attacks.

A Tuesday Tune

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, then you have already seen this video pop up on your newsfeed or heard me talking about it within the past two weeks. However, I'm sharing it again! I have always liked Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Wanna Be" and then I heard "Not Over You." After that, I searched YouTube for more songs and came across this one. I'm obsessed and I listen to it at least once a day. Enjoy!
