March 30 is National Pencil Day!

Are you reading Deuce? Chapters are short, so they’re swift as Ulrica’s thrown blades, but they’re also worth their weight in Harrow gold. I hope you’ll consider supporting my writing by “subscribing” to the story. Become a patron at any tier, and you’ll be able to read along. CJ Milbrandt on Patreon >>
Deuce has updated! Not only does this Galleries of Stone prequel give you insight into how Aurelius and Ulrica met, you can pick up more tidbits of mountain lore!

BINGO Challenge. I’ve nabbed my bingo board for the next couple of months from MGCarousel. It’ll be interesting to see if I can get the challenge books I’m reading in alphabetical order will fit on this board.

One of my favorite reading challenges from 2024 was a new one for Great Middle Grade Reads. The Read the Rainbow Challenge was all about choosing books by their cover. Finding the right palette? I loved it!

I had so much fun with it, I did multiple versions throughout the year. I think I was on my fifth set.

Sound fun? How would you tackle a reading challenge like this?

Still working my way through the alphabet: F, G, H, I, and J books!
