Hi Dear Reader,
How are you doing? Did you celebrate Mother’s Day?
This Mother’s Day was my first one as a new mom. It was really nice. Hubby brought home my favorite drink and a chocolate cake pop from Caribou Coffee. (It was the Campfire S’mores mocha, so good.) We spent lots of family time together as Baby Bock has decided that she doesn’t need to take naps anymore. She’s six months old, and I was looking forward to the quiet time.
How did you celebrate it?
Lately, I’ve been spending my free time working on the last book in the Cowboys of Sunnydale series. It’s still in the brainstorming phase. I’ve been reading a lot of books across all different genres, trying to gather new ideas. I have the two main characters and their big problems. Now, I just have to come up with the subplots.
Since I’ve been reading, I was wondering which point of view do you enjoy reading the most: first person or third person or it doesn’t matter?
Most of the western romance and small-town romance I read is written in third person with the “he said/she said”. But the romantic suspense and urban fantasy that I’ve enjoyed have been first person with the “I said/I saw”. I love reading in first person, as you can probably tell since that is how my books are written. I’d love your thoughts on it though.
That’s all for today. I hope you are having a great month. Below you’ll find some new books to check out! Plus, there is the BookFunnel giveaways from last newsletter if you missed them!
Hugs,
Allie
