Sometimes the mail lady stops in front of my house to touch up her makeup, and I like to think that somewhere farther along her route is a broody and grizzled single father with a plucky daughter who she's trying to impress. #welcometomyhallmarkmovie

@JessCozziWrites Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell!

Happy Sunday! What are you reading? 📚

@JessCozziWrites Same. 😴

Nighttime writing is such a vibe, until you're falling asleep at your desk...😴

@JessCozziWrites 64 this year, 7 this month. December included a snow day and a bad cold, so I had extra reading time. I also managed to read an equal number of library books and books I own.

How many books did you read this month? What about this year?

@nascarcasm My favorites are the similes: eyes as green as the infield at Daytona (pre-Ryan Preece, obviously).

This NASCAR romance series is an absolute joyride—fast, heartfelt, and irresistibly charming. Each novel perfectly balances high-octane race-day excitement with tender, character-driven love stories, making the emotional stakes feel just as intense as the final lap. The authors bring the world of NASCAR to life with vivid detail while never losing sight of what truly drives the story: growth, trust, and connection. The couples are easy to root for, their chemistry feels authentic, and the themes of resilience, teamwork, and chasing dreams resonate long after the checkered flag falls. Whether you’re a racing fan or just love a great romance, this series delivers pure, page-turning magic. 🏁❤️

@JessCozziWrites Lucky! I have to work Monday, but then I'm off until Jan. 5.

Last day of work before I get a 2-week reading break, let’s goooo🙌🏼🤩

@JessCozziWrites 7!

How many books did you read this month?

@Gabino_Iglesias I have football on in the background while I read this.

What are y’all reading and watching this weekend?

@JessCozziWrites I just hit my reading goal last night, but I really want to have read the same number of library books and books I own. So I'm going to try to read 7 books I own before the end of the year. 😆😭

Happy Sunday! What are you reading? 📚

@JessCozziWrites I'm too old to do that anymore. 😆 But I did stay up pretty late (for me) on Tuesday night to finish Elyse Myers' book. 5 stars!

When’s the last time you stayed up all night to finish a book? 🌙

@Gabino_Iglesias Last year I was Baby Yoda. I made everything but the sweater.

I know some of you build stuff/have sewing skills/are cosplayers/go all out for Halloween, so please share pics of your costume/project this year!

@JessCozziWrites Four.

How many books did you read this month?

@Gabino_Iglesias Reading the uncut version of The Stand for the first time. Watching NASCAR this afternoon.

What are y’all reading and watching this weekend?

@JessCozziWrites Timers have never worked well for me, but Hank Green's Focus Friend does because I don't want my little bean to get sad! 😆 It also keeps me from checking my phone constantly.

Seriously, once I started using the Pomodoro Method with timed writing sprints, I have NOT been able to look back. It’s done wonders for my productivity! 🍅✏️

@JessCozziWrites Also, when you're doing solid stitching, it's easier to fix mistakes. Since there's a stitch in every square, you can just stitch on top of the wrong one.

@SarahPottenger Yeah that’s what I’m going to try! I’m stitching my cover and it’s hard lol

How many books did you read this month?

@JessCozziWrites I also highlight every stitch I make on my pattern to keep myself on track. That's pretty essential with a piece of solid stitching like this.

@JessCozziWrites I do one color for as long as I can (to a point--if I go too far, I start making mistakes). Sometimes I'm working on an area where I have to change color every few stitches, and that's a pain because progress feels slow. But the whole thing isn't like that.

@JessCozziWrites It's hard to tell, but this is major progress.

@SarahPottenger Hey, that’s also productive! I have to get back into my stitching, I’ve been slacking…

@Gabino_Iglesias I'm reading my friend's new YA fantasy, and I'm about to watch the NASCAR race, because I have layers. 😆

What are y’all reading and watching this weekend?

@JessCozziWrites I finished 7. May get through #8 today.
