Q1 favorites! 📚🥰 I’ve read 20 books so far this year, which is more than halfway to my annual goal. 🫠 I’ve slowed down a bit while I focus on the last batch of revisions for my manuscript, but I’m still loving exploring new worlds, falling in love with good stories, and maybe crying more than I intended. Other faves not pictured: ⭐️ Morning Star (Red Rising #3) by Pierce Brown 🍀 Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten (audio) ❄️ And Now Back to You by BK Borison ✍️ The Correspondent by Virginia Evans What books are you loving lately? #whatiread #favoritereads #authorsofinsta #contemporaryromancebooks

Hi, my name is Kate. And last year, I wrote what will one day be my debut novel. All I’ve ever wanted to do with my life is write stories about real people — stories that make you think, laugh, and feel. When I was 12, I proclaimed that I’d be a New York Times best-seller one day. I’ve started and shelved many attempts at novels throughout my life. This is the only one I’ve ever finished because I truly believe in it — because the characters and saga have lived in my head (in some form) for more than a decade. Writing this has been equal parts therapy, creative outlet, and work toward a dream. 2025 was not kind to me: health issues, heartbreaking losses, the rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship, waiting for the next bad thing to happen. But it gave me this, and this kept me sane through all of it. Instead of losing my own mind, I wrote about other people losing theirs. It helped — who knew? If you’re into classical music, self-discovery, healing, resilience, and a good love story, then I hope this will live on your bookshelf one day. I’ve just wrapped up draft 3. I plan to start querying later this year. This is just the beginning. And I can’t wait for the rest of the journey. #authorofinstagram #debutnovel #writersoninstagram #womensfiction

I’d say I’m back on my BS, but this BS never left. 😏 Freshly baked sourdough, toasted, topped with TJ’s cocoa almond spread (better than Nutella, fight me), banana, berries, and hemp seeds. 😋

Did I spend more time in coffee shops or my home office in 2025? ☕️ #freelancelife #freelancewriter #coffeeshopvibe #chattanoogatn
