Kindleone day i met a guy
who stole my heart,
we created a world
for ourselves.
and another day
he broke my heart
and shattered
my soul.

i took the tattered
pieces of this
broken soul and
became anew.

– here lies the hurting, the healing, and the learning

(please be advised this book has mature content)

This morning while I was writing my morning pages, I wrote about how I couldn’t believe it’s been 2 years since this book has released. So much has happened, so much has changed, and I am very grateful of where this journey has taken me. I have seen the fruit of my labor and this journey has opened so many doors. The lives that this book has touched is something I never pictured. Countless times I have thought of removing this book from the shelves and countless times people have come to me privately to talk about how this book has changed their lives. It’s no longer about me, it’s about them and their healing. I want to say thank you. My gratitude is endless.

New York Comic Con Haul: Vol. 1

Hi everyone!! This past weekend I went to New York Comic Con with my brother and met up with my friend Lilly @ Lair of Books who by the way snagged so many books for me on the day I couldn’t go. So a huge THANK YOU to Lilly for that!!! She’s so awesome.

I’ve been going to Comic Con for the past couple of years now, it’s a thing my brother and I do which is super fun. It was really cool to have a book friend with me to share my excitement on the freebies since my brother isn’t a reader lol. Jay, if you’re reading this, I love you little man! (he also grabs freebies for me if I’m at another booth, even though he has no clue what the book is about lol)

I will be separating this haul into 2.
Volume 1 is about all the books I purchased and the freebies I grabbed that are already released.
Volume 2 is all about the ARCs that have not been released yet (this one will be posted tomorrow).

*note: the title of each book will link you to the Goodreads page
