I'm Publishing A Book!! | Noel Becomes Ecstatic + Giveaway!



Exactly what the title says!!
 It is a different writing project than the one we've discussed a few times- that one is still in revision...


 I'm so excited you guys!! I'm going to let myself finally let go of those insecurities about my writing- and I'm going to publish my first book!

 I know that I'll probably always be at least a little insecure about my writing- but that's because it's something I made and put my heart into. So it's a big step to let it go and let others read it. (Remember the freak out session with letting a Beta Reader read it? Because I do!)


FEAST YOUR EYES!!



Title: The Poet of the Heart

Author: LaNona Walker

Publication Date: June 20th, 2019

Pre-order here: Amazon

Add It To your Goodreads Wishlist here

Format: ebook, kindle

Genre: poetry, short stories, anthology, collection


[About: People can fade away, rose petals can be crushed and things can be lost, but at least you’ll remember how it was. The Poet of The Heart is a poetry collection that touches everything the heart can feel, hope for, cherish, and even regret. In a collection of poems ranging from romantic to heart-wrenching, Noel Walker dives into her passions and writes from the heart. Fragmented pieces of dreams and losses combine to bring you a touching series of stories that have deeper meanings in their rhymes and lyrics.]



Yes, my name is LaNona (la- ''no''- na) but my middle name is Noel- so I used that name when starting my blog. I had multiple reasons for doing so.

But there are several authors with the name Noel Walker, so I have to use my actual name- which definitely no one else has lol.
So as mentioned in my blog banner, to celebrate my official publication- I want to give you guys a giveaway!!

There will be three winners because I want each of you guys to have a big chance to win!


Prizes for the giveaway (each winner will receive the same):


  • A copy of The Poet of the Heart (since it's an ebook, I will send it to you through email)
  • A Coffee Mug from Noel's Mug Collection (this one is going to make me cry)
  • A special Bookmark from B&N (which I'm only doing for you guys, otherwise it's so expensive I never shop there)


a Rafflecopter giveaway


I am offering ARCs to anyone who's interested in exchange for a honest review, so if you don't win there are still chances to get a copy!

 So it looks like Books with Noel will be getting an extra page to do with my writing projects, and I will be getting on some more social media platforms (such as Twitter or Instagram)!


Guys. I'm actually publishing a book!!
(Is it a normal reaction to laugh and cry at the same time??)

While this isn't the Scifi novel I'm still writing, it is a book that I spent a lot of time at different moments in my life writing on and editing to make my poems better.

I've come to realize I'm not the best with expressing my thoughts and feelings through talking, I do better writing them- hence the insecurity and fear that I had to get over to make it even this far! (Also another reason why I love blogging more than vlogging...)



I just want to say thank you to everyone reading this, because even if you didn't know I was writing a book- you're here to see and celebrate with me!

Thank you all for reading, have an awesomely lovely day!!
~Books with Noel

P. S. I promise to update you guys next time, instead of just springing it on you that I'm publishing a book in a few months lol😅

Books with Noel's BLOGVERSARY!!

Bonjour mes amis! [Hello my friends!] It's officially Books with Noel 's Blogversary!!! Quick Note: I'm sorry if any of these seems rushed, I injured my wrist at work and now have to wear a brace on my right side (I'm right-handed). When I first started blogging, it was a rash and implusive decision (and no, I ususally don't have those). I had already been trying to do BookTube for a while, and it was rough- I'll admit it. But more on that later! I started Books with Noel to try to communicate my passion and thoughts on books the only way I know best- through writing. (Don't ask why I'm still on YouTube then, sometimes I don't even know myself.) As soon as I did my first two blog posts on here, I was introduced to some very kind book bloggers and I found the best book community I've ever seen! Everyone is so nice, even when disagreeing about a book! I'm now able to support other bloggers and unknown authors through my blo...

The Month of February and Trying New Things | A Monthly Wrap-Up + A TBR

    Eek, is it bad that I'm relieved Valentine's Day and the ''Love Month'' is over? I just read contemporaries, watched chick flicks, and ate ice cream to celebrate the holiday...it was great! How about you guys? How was your Valentine's Day? How's The YouTube Channel Going?? As some of you know, I also am a small BookTuber who shares my videos only in the monthly wrap-ups. And yes, they are as random as my blog posts 😂.  Though I try to keep their content different, so one book review that will be on my blog may not be on my YouTube channel (unless I feel very strongly about the book or am reviewing it for someone). So here are the videos from February!! ChickFlicks & Contemporaries | MY FEBRUARY TBR TOP TEN ANIME COUPLES | FT. CAMMIE Eliza And Her Monsters | BOOK RANT TRY A CHAPTER ~ Round 1 Since the theme for this month is Trying New Things , I'm planning to start doing anime related videos on my YouTube. Spec...
