What's up Wed: Blog Tour Day 3

Hello readers,

What I'm Reading



CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments.

What I'm Writing:

I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k!

In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories:

Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break. I forgot about her short conversation about a school dance club. I didn't even put in a scene of her joining after the conversation. More revisions to come.

The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad.

What Else:



It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour.

Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book.

If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads!

Poetry Prompt:

Write about the feeling reading gives you.

Love, Fida

I really have to agree with you about CROWN OF MIDNIGHT. Wasn't it great? I need to get reading my copy of HEIR OF FIRE. That's awesome that you're on track with NaNo! I'm terrible at NaNo, so I don't do it anymore. Have a great week! :D

Right now, my favorite poetry line is Rumi's "We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust." I think it's so beautiful, and it gave my WiP its title. :-) Best of luck with NaNo, and with your blog tour, and have an awesome week!

I'm surprised I'm on track. This is the first time I haven't fallen behind. Thank you! I can't wait to read HEIR OF FIRE (:

AH! How did I miss that you were doing a blog tour? Guess I've been intentionally absent from the blogosphere for a week recovering from my blog tour. I loved that series too. Awesome, awesome books. I'm not so sure I'm 100% happy with how it ended, but it was satisfying.

Keep NaNo-ing Ms NaNo queen!

Thank you for offering to help with my blog tour and book release! I'll be in touch with you when I have more details. It looks like you're in the middle of your own book tour too. AND doing Nanowrimo. Those are two incredible things to try and do at the same time. I'm super impressed. Keep up the good work!
I read Throne of Glass recently and can't wait to read the next two. I'll definitely be getting to those soon.
Congrats on all the words for NaNo!

I agree that CROWN OF MIDNIGHT is even better than THRONE OF GLASS. Love that series! Good luck with your NaNo project!

Best of luck with the rest of NaNo. 28k is fantastic!

Congrats on the NaNo word count!!! I love the Throne of Glass books. The second one was amazing and I can't wait to read the third!

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and more.
