19.01.2025 13:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Out here in the #QueryTrenches and honestly it's hard. Rejection today said the story didn't โsparkโ. Um, thanks? #BookSky ๐๐

10.01.2025 20:04 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I just started querying again. Received a rejection about twenty minutes after sending it! Iโve been cheesed all day since the response included the line, โI thought long and hard about this.โ ๐
Anyway, this is my wordy way of saying Iโm there with you, but youโve got this!
Hi! I am querying a contemporary YA novel.
10.01.2025 20:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Today my kid watched #ToyStory for the first time ever. Then he watched it again. Weโre currently on our third watch of the day. This is what sick days are forโsitting on the couch watching life changing movies. #ParentingSky

I finished Helen Hoangโs The Bride Test last night. I adore her writing + love reading about hot Vietnamese people. Khaiโs story was so special โ a look at 1 neurodivergent character working through grief. It didnโt grab me quite as much as The Kiss Quotient but I still loved it. #Books #BookSky ๐๐
05.01.2025 12:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I completely agree. I have a toddler and reading with him has reminded me how special these kinds of books are. Beautiful artistry paired with equally beautiful words? Yes please!
