What’s Up Wednesday is a weekly meme started by Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk that allows us to touch base with blog friends and let them know what’s up.
What I'm reading
So I've actually taken time out to read in the last week or so! Actually, it's more like I had two days off and read two books while I had the time. Yes, I should have worked on edits more but honestly you guys, my brain needed a break. And Abbi Glines heard my call, man. I started reading The Vincent Boys series a month or so ago and since then I've been plowing through Glines book. They are just so readable. I'm finishing the Fallen Too Far series now and it won't be hard. It's almost like you sit down and accidentally read the whole thing in a few hours. So, so readable.
What I'm Writing
Same edits, different week. I'm actually a day out from finishing the first round of edits. I'm just at the end now, so everything I've changed is catching up to me, so this is the hard part. Which is still kind of awesome when you think about it.
What Else I've Been Up To
Work, work and more work. I have a few days off this week, so I'm hoping to not only finish my edits but clean up my apartment. It seriously looks like a group of frat boys live here. I also need to clean out my closet, which is one of my favorite things to do, so hopefully I can put my life back together a little bit this week.
What Inspires Me Right Now
Comic-Con! I've never had the opportunity to go out to Comic-Con in person but I follow it closely -and with as little jealously as I can- every year and this year didn't disappoint. Between all of the Marvel movies, Tom Hiddleston showing up in his full Loki costume, The Veronica Mars movie, Batman joining Superman in the next Man of Steel movie AND the City of Bones panel, I was a teensy bit overwhelmed by all of the awesomeness. But it's also so inspiring to see all of these fun, creative people putting their talents on display. Hopefully, maybe, someday I can actually go and let my nerd flag fly.
So. What are YOU up to?

What's Up Wednesday!
I saw this meme over at the super fantastic Jen Pickrell's blog, and since I literally couldn't think of a single interesting thing to blog about this week, I'm doing it! Also, it's just a really cute way to keep up with that everyone is up to.
What I'm reading
The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. I take book recommendations very seriously, okay? And when I saw multiple tweets from people who just couldn't quit this series, I knew I had to check it out. I'm just starting the first one but I'm pretty pumped about it.
What I'm Writing
Woe is me. I'm actually editing right now, so I haven't gotten a chance to write anything new. But I want to, and more importantly, I think my soul needs it. Once I get through these edits, I plan on writing something even though I don't know what yet. Remember last week I talked about summer reading? Well, there's also nothing I love more than summer writing. And it is time, my friends.
What Else I've Been Up To
Besides reading over everything I've written, editing and beta reading, nothing much. Work has been busy, as usual. My normal TV shows are all off the air for the summer, although True Blood starts soon and I'm hoping things are better than they were last season.
I think I've mentioned that I'm a huge movie lover, but only when I actually go to the movie theater. It's hard for me to sit on my couch and watch a movie, but I'm still not talking about how many times I went to see The Avengers last year. It's possible I'm the one who made it the biggest movie ever, I'm just saying. But this summer is packed full of good movies. I saw Iron Man 3, which was amazing but not as amazing as Star Trek Into Darkness. In the next few days I'm going to see Now You See Me, which gives me major I-Wish-I'd-Thought-of-That feelings. And then the new Superman comes out!
So, yeah. You'll know where to find me this summer.
What Inspires Me Right Now
Well, my best friend since I was eleven is having her second baby this coming Tuesday. And it's a boy! Her first child is a sassy, amazing little girl and I'm so, so excited to meet this little (not that little, he's almost 7 pounds already and he's still hanging out in there! He'll be showing up via C-section) guy! I'm inspired by my best friend for being so calm in the face of having two kids, because I'm overwhelmed by my two cats. But I'm also inspired to write really good books that these two, along with my niece, (who is 17 and the best kid ever) can read, love and be proud of.
