How was everyone's May?? I know it started to get warm in some places, and in others, they were dying of heat- so I hope you're all doing alright! I personally love every season- except for summer. (I know, it's odd.)
I'm terrified about the end of May and the beginning of June, because my poetry collection, The Poet of The Heart, comes out June 20th!
I know that poetry collections don't tend to do very well, so I don't have a lot of expectations for the book (as weird as that is to hear from a writer). Mostly it's just something I wanted to share with others that have a love for poetry and symbolism with words.
For those who are wondering, I am now in the Final Draft of my sci-fi novel and will be contacting my editor and Beta Readers for their thoughts and opinions on some things soon. Depending on how long the last draft takes. 😅
But anywhoo~ here's the wrap up for the month of May!

I have a few more book reviews to catch up on for you guys in June and an anime discussion I promised but besides that...
- I set up a Patreon for my BookTube Channel!!
- I lost the fight to save money and not buy books... I ended up getting a stack of new books (which I shared on Instagram) 💙
- I've decided to continue both my blog and my YouTube channel instead of just one (I'd been debating letting the YouTube go.)
- I made Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls- that turned out delicious!! 😍 Here's the recipe!
- I'm trying to finish any previous writing I had on my Wattpad before my book comes out, so I can officially be done with those projects!
- I only have one week of my trip left, and then I'll be getting some library books to share my June TBR with you guys!

Thanks for reading!!
~Books with Noel
I'm not a big fan of summer but I enjoy the other seasons! Weather wise next week looks pretty grim with lots of rain so I'll be staying cozy indoors I think! Good luck with the final draft of the book!
ReplyDeleteIt's raining a lot right now where I'm at, and I love it!! I'll be perfectly cozy with some coffee and a book!
DeleteThank you! :)
I hope your poetry collection does very well, Noel! It’s so good to have a finished product to put out in the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! It is very nice to have a writing project completely finished though :)
DeleteThat's exciting that your poetry collection will make its debut to the world. I hope it's a smashing success!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

DeleteIt is so very hot here in Texas, and I hate it. I want to live somewhere much cooler! I like layers, haha. Good luck with your poetry collection!
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
Yes!! I was born and raised in Oklahoma where there was snow and foilage, but now I live in a place that is literally only ever humidity, heat, and sunshine that blinds you :(
DeleteI miss the place with snow lol
