- Everything You Need To Know About Attending Convention Panels – If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I share a lot of notes from “panels”. If you’ve only been to corporate/work conventions, you might look at them as torturous boredom. Or, at the very least, strictly educational. At their most basic: panels are simply several people, sitting at table, facing an audience, sharing their thoughts on a subject. But, they can be a lot more than that!

What I’ve Been Reading:
Some!
New Works By Previous Guests:
From Jessica Turnbull, book 2 of her Celestial Plague series.
Heaven (#2)
The survivors seek Heaven, but sanctuary comes with a price, one that could cost them everything.
Ashleigh has now been infected in an effort to save her life. Feeling betrayed and distraught over being Bitten causes friction among her and the other survivors which threatens to tear them apart. And when she starts having visions that show her the only way to Heaven is to infect more people, will it be the end of them all?
Danger is around every turn for Raya who discovers a mysterious man wielding multiple strange powers while escaping Warren. Who is this man? Why does he have her sister’s tail?
To escape the control of Warren, Cindy and Jenna decide to do the unthinkable… Head into The Rot. Will they find the secret truths about the infection there, or will they only become victims of The Rot?
From Abigail ManningNot hating this cottage core vibe with Catticus in the reading chair next to my TBR bookcase., book 3 of The Ruby Realm series.
Soul of Secrets (#3)
An invincible princess and a dance with death… A Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses
Princess Ruby is the only biological daughter of the emperor out of her eleven sisters. Despite being classified as her father’s favorite, she’s barely even permitted to step outside the palace due to the emperor’s overprotectiveness. Some citizens believe she’s kept confined because she’s too treasured, while others believe it’s because she’s secretly ugly, but only her father and sisters know the true reason she’s locked away…
Aiden is a common builder whose mother is slowly slipping away due to illness. He’d do anything to save her, even join the criminal group, the basilisks, in exchange for a magical extension of her life. With the emperor hosting a competition in search of a male heir, Aiden must now infiltrate the event and feed the basilisks whatever information they request. Should be easy enough. Or at least, it would have, until things take a turn for the worst when his fellow competitors begin to drop dead.
Aiden’s job description never included murder, yet he still feels the basilisks are responsible, or worse… his intel helped them do it. Ruby may be a cherished princess, but she’s powerless to protect others. If she wants to stop the killer, she’ll need inside help from a competitor she feels she can trust… and she did like that Aiden fellow. Will Aiden help her save the other competitors, or will she be dancing with danger on her own?
