Best Offer Wins is such a darkly funny read. Some Best Offer Wins is such a darkly funny read. Some might even say it’s unhinged! But I think Millenials will especially enjoy it because of how relatable the story is.

Margo and Ian (who live in Maryland, but in the DC area) sell their house during the pandemic, thinking that with the money they’ll be able to put in a great down payment on their dream home.

But 18 months later they are still living in the tiny apartment that they rented “temporarily” while they house hunted. And Margo is definitely starting to lose her cool. It’s a constant cycle of getting excited about a house, only to lose out on a bidding war with 15 other offers.

It’s interesting watching Margo slowly lose herself, as the desperation makes her do deeply unsettling things.

Highly recommend this one! It was so entertaining. It’s the authors first novel and I hope she shares more stories in the future 📚

This is Hazel and I when we got the keys to our ho This is Hazel and I when we got the keys to our house in 2019 🏡 It was my first home on my own and I’m proud of my time there and am very grateful to @cdk2195 @daveyjones_since_89 @krickang and my Dad for the physical help and advice along the way.

Closing is today and now my brother Carter will be a first time homeowner. Circle of life! ☺️
Last Saturday my friend and I went to a Stars Holl Last Saturday my friend and I went to a Stars Hollow Festival and it was so fun. I wasn’t really planning to buy anything but it’s always a fun to support small businesses… especially when they sell stickers!

I also got a couple of Gilmore Girls themed bookmarks And kept my ticket and raffle tickets as mementos for my #junkjournal

Here’s what I read during the month of October: 1 Here’s what I read during the month of October:

1. A magical fantasy about a librarian who must learn about her family history with witchcraft. 🧙‍♀️ 
2. An age gap romance that felt a bit cringey 😬 and probably illegal. 
3. A fun and spooky horror about a haunted suburban house 🏚️ 

How was your month of reading? I’m hoping November will be more productive for me as I start diving into my Christmas TBR list. 📖

So NaNoWriMo may not be a thing anymore, but that So NaNoWriMo may not be a thing anymore, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be writing. ✍️ 

This year’s project is going to be writing 50,000 words of my Christmas romantic comedy - The Christmas Committee.

As some say of you might know I have been joining quite a few committees at my office and it’s truly insane. Don’t do it. The things you will find yourself caring about are absurd.

But it does make for some good stories afterward. And you might have a few laughs along the way.

So that’s what I’ll be busy with! I might pop in a few times here and there to talk about the books I’ve been reading, but for the most part I’ll be finishing this book and enjoying Fall 📖 🍂 🍁 #writing #nanowrimo #currentlywriting #amwriting #amwritingromance 

P.S. Thank you to BeckAndDotBookCovers for designing designing my book cover. It’s so cute. 🥰
