I’m pretty happy with how my reading went in February, considering I spent most of it in a massive book slump. I spent the beginning of February just waiting for Morning Star and then I spent some time trying to get over it. Good news for me, though, it was announced that there will be a spin-off series of Red Rising, so my new found obsession with all things Pierce Brown will still be eagerly fed. There’s not much to report on the personal front. Work is pretty awful, but what can you do?

You had a great month! Your enthusiasm for the Red Rising series has definitely convinced me to try it, when the mood hits me. You know how moody I am – right now I can’t get enough of romantic suspense.
I can’t remember what your job is – are you in accounting or finance? If you’re interested, you can email me your resume and I will submit it to our HR department (I work at Smuckers). Always looking for good candidates here. 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad to hear of your interest in Red Rising! SO GOOD! But I definitely understand needing to be in the right mood for that kind of story.
My job title is Account Examiner. It’s not exactly accounting or finance, but it’s finance-related kind of. My degree is in Communications, but the last couple jobs I’ve had have been finance-related. Thank you so much for the offer! I’m definitely going to take you up on that! I need to work on updating my resume, though first.
I’m happy to submit it whenever you have it ready! Just send it to brandie.metzger@yahoo.com or my work email- brandie.metzger@jmsmucker.com.
Awesome! Thank you so much! What do you do there?
I’m the Accounting/Finance administrative assistant. I’ve been there 18 years. My boss is the Controller.
Ok cool! You must like it well enough to have stayed there for so long!
Yes, I love my job. I’m very fortunate and thankful for it! I work with some awesome people.
A spin off of Red Rising? That is all my brain is processing now. And how did I miss it? How? I’m still waiting to get to read Morning Star, and almost dying from the wait…. it looks like you’ve had a good month. 🙂
Yes there’s a spin-off! I won’t tell you anything though about it though because it might be spoilery to Morning Star. But once you’re done with Morning Star go stalk Pierce Brown’s Facebook page/Twitter 🙂
Now I’m even more desperate to read Morning Star… Very very soon. 😀
