What's up Wednesday: Winners!

Hello readers,

I'm in the midst of reading HEIR OF FIRE. Whenever I put it down to do life, it kills me. I want to keep reading.

I'm still revising DH. Realized I never mentioned her old friends. Now they are starting to appear and love her new friends.

I'm also still doing NaNoWriMo. I'm at 41k!

Earlier, I was listening to the song True Colors. I think of writing color poems for my book. I realize I have. More than a couple, too. Two about black and white. One about purple. Two about rainbows.

Then suddenly I thought of the title for the book. Kaleidoscope.

My writing goal is to write 4k today. I did it yesterday, so I'm hoping I can do it again today. I hope I can win nanowrimo within the next two days.

Other than that, it's time to announce the winners of the giveaway! I will be contacting you soon.

Thank you for participating! If you haven't won or are still interested in my books, you can check them out here.

Love, Fida

Kaleidoscope is a great title for a book of poetry. Especially if it's a book of colour poems. :-) Good luck with the rest of NaNo!

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...

It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline.
