What have you read this year for pleasure that you absolutely loved? And what did you read this year for craft insight that you loved?

Yeah, so I discovered audiobooks this year in a very big way.

So I have already read 14 books, and I didn't read during May and June because I was moving and I was crazy.

So this is my little... advertisement for audiobooks I love now listening to books while I'm making dinner and it's making sure that I am reading of you know every day or I'm on the treadmill I put the audiobook on I go for a walk I put the audiobook book on um and what I've read this year is an old book, but I read if it bleeds by Stephen King, who's one of my favorite authors.

Um, the shining is one of the only books that terrified me while I was reading it.

Books don't often do that to me.

Um, So If It Bleeds is four short stories.

Why do you write? What does it mean to be an author during this time? Why is it important to share your work and words in this way?
