So, how do you get involved? Easy, share this post and tag me (@amydelaforce across socials). I’ll then select up to 10 people, and kick off the travelling ARC tour; yes, non-UK readers, this is open to you! Any questions, feel free to DM me. 😊
Thanks #romantasy lovers, and speak soon! x

The lucky few who participate can annotate live reactions as they read, add book tabs etc., whatever gets you excited about the story (and builds a lil bookish love and community along the way)! #AKOHAF

Like what do you mean, people will have Opinions? About a book? 🤣🤣🤣 But seriously, I’m just hoping people enjoy it and that it forms a lovely spot of punchy escapism from the current timeline x

Which means I hadn’t mentally arrived at the ‘people will read your book and talk about it’ turning point and now with NetGalley etc. imminent, my brain has finally caught up. And it’s weirddddd! 😂

I know there are some (sweet, sweet summer) people that want to write a book to get rich / famous, but I do it because it’s my passion and I want to try and make a basic living from it.

Actually that's a great point, what I'm currently working on is (not sexual) tension — maybe I'm just not loving it because it feels physically uncomfortable for me... which is a good sign? At least if it feels uncomfy, I must be doing my job 🤷♀️

Very true, I'm adding that as a note to revisit tomorrow! 🙌
