Book Notes: February 1, 2023 - Karen Witemeyer
Welcome readers, one and all! I've got reviews from some pretty awesome novellas to share with you. What's so great about them? Both books were written by one of my new favorite authors. Once you check those out, you can keep scrolling until you find today's word prompt. Let's get started!
Book Review: Love on the Mend by Karen Witemeyer
Love on the Mend by Karen WitemeyerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Lovely Romance Novella
Karen Witemeyer is a master of pacing in her novellas. They are short, yes. But the reader gets a complete story which doesn't leave you wondering what the heck happened. You get a good idea of who the characters are, too. If you love sweet, lively, inspirational romance then this novella fits the bill.

Book Review: A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer
A Worthy Pursuit by Karen WitemeyerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Worth Every Penny
I love how each of Karen Witemeyer's plots might share some minor, basic similarities, but every character is unique and richly crafted. This particular story had me wanting to keep turning pages. I had to know what happened next. If you enjoy clean, historical, inspirational romance, then do try this one.

Just Keep Writing: Wednesday Whimsy
If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.
Rules:
- You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.
- Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to.
- Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.
Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required.
