I am not a fan of Winter. Cold is not my friend. I know that a warm cup of tea, a blanket and a good book are supposed to solve all of the Winter problems, but to me, it is just not enough. So, when Spring comes, it is a great celebration.
Spring means that I am already late thinking about my garden. Last year, I was growing things from seed all over my desk and preparing for planting season. This year, I am behind. Two days ago, I saw a raccoon happily enjoying the compost in the garden. I am aware it is time to turn my focus outdoors again.
Writing continues slow. I finally took a weekend off this weekend. It helps. Inspiration helps. It is so easy to forget how important play is in a creative process. Without play, it is hard to focus on work.
Andy and I went on an adventure. It was a gentle hike around a lake a couple of hours from home. It was lovely. Though, we thought that it was a 2 mile hike that ended up 3.6 miles. A small picnic followed. It is Spring. Yay!
The new giveaway is live! Check it out! Link and books below. The winners have been selected for the last giveaway. Check it out.
And I totally forgot to join more BookFunnel promos, so there will be some in the next newsletter in April.
Also, a small request... my books are desperate for reviews on Amazon. They are feeling lonely. If you have read them and feel like stopping by and adding your thoughts, it would be deeply appreciated.
🎁Tatiana's Book Corner Giveaway 🎁
IMPORTANT NOTE - I changed some things about the form to make my life easier. To choose which books you want to possibly win, you have to click on the box under the title of the book, above the description. As always, you can select all of the books. Each book is treated as its own giveaway. I allow only one person to win each book, so that one person doesn't get all of the books. I only allow one entry. If you fill out the form more than once, it only counts as one entry. All books are bought by me and sent via Amazon to the winner on the 6th of each month. I need your address so that I can mail the books to the winners. I detele the forms after the giveaway is over and the books are mailed. Thank you!!!

🌷May 2026 Giveaway🌷
The Antiquarian's Object of Desire (Love's Academic) - I love India Holton. She is the balm that I need in these turbulent times. I should be reading more, but I return to her, because she is funny, and sweet, and weird. This is her newest book. It comes out at the end of April and it is definitely the most anticipated book for the year. Life is better because of her books. A warm blanket in a stormy night.
Dungeon Crawler Carl - I am late to the game. I know that. Princess Donut only now has come to my attention. My son has loved them. Andy is reading it now and loving it. I am next.
The Midnight Carousel: A Novel - Night Circus meets Water for Elephants? What isn't there to love about the concept. It is also a brand new books and yay! I am excited.
The Astral Library (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Novel - I love Kate Quinn. The book is really, really beautiful. Like, what else could one possibly desire. Really.
This Book Made Me Think of You - A book about books, loving books, and enduring love. I am in.
The Poet Empress - This book just looks awesome, even though it has the shortest description ever. We will just have to see.
