Book Recommendations

Since the Summer of 2022 the majority of what I’ve been reading is MM Romance. I discovered this relationship dynamic with my audible plus membership and that led me to read The Understatement of The Year By Sarina Bowen followed by Goodbye Paradise also by Sarina Bowen. Goodbye Paradise is now one of my all time favorite books, and I highly recommend it!

From last Summer to present, I have been hooked on MM Romance, and it has become my favorite dynamic to read in Romance now. I can’t tell you why, but there’s just something about it that hit different for me and made me feel all the feelings more. Maybe because forbidden relationships were already one of my favorite tropes and it happens a lot in MM. I just don’t know, but the magic is there for me in these love stories. ✨ (And yes, I do have tons of MM romances I plan to write under my MM pen name. I will keep y’all updated.)😍

Current Read & Recommendation: The Missing Pieces Trilogy by N.R. Walker 

I wanted to share about this series because this is my THIRD time reading it/listening to the audiobooks. Both are fantastic. 

You can find the ebooks in Kindle Unlimited and the audiobooks in KoboPlus. I subscribe to both reading services and it’s been amazing getting the best of both worlds. 

If you like a series that wraps you in a cozy warm hug, this is it. It has all best of hurt/comfort and a soulmate kind of love. With the perfect amount of spice that enhances the love story, it will make you smile and swoon the entire time. 

This is a comfort read for me that I keep going back too. A story I truly want to live in, so maybe it will be that for you too. 

What are your comfort reads? Drop them in the comments below! 
Happy Reading & Listening!📖🎧💖

It's Not Rebecca Thirstin's Blog, but Rebecca Tynes is Pretty Darn Close

 Hi! Welcome to my blog. Here you will find a collection of my thoughts on numerous topics surrounding the art of reading and writing books. Mostly romance books because that is what I write and what I love to read. You may also find some miscellaneous topics on the blog as well such as health/fitness and hobbies I’m into. I have created some helpful tabs for you at the top if you are on your own journey of writing and publishing as well. I wrote them for the me a few years ago who wanted an everything checklist. The best books on writing craft that have changed my life are also under my recommended reads tab for you.  Enjoy! Why did I choose to start a blog in 2023?

A place to share longform content, and more information for writers. Social medi...

My Top 3 Writing Craft Books Of 2024

Hey writers! Today I'm sharing the books that I've found most helpful to me this year on my writing journey. Before I read these books and actually learned some real writing rules, tips, and how to construct a fictional story, my drafts were all over the place.  They were very disconnected and had no point to them. I didn't even know the basics like character goals, motivation, and conflict. And I learned that all fiction IS conflict.  So here are the top 3 books I've found that made a difference in my writing this year. They now sit permanently on my desk. These books taught me the very basics and gave me a road map to craft a story that finally had a purpose, cohesion, and most of all, conflict.  I have these linked in my Recommended Reads Page at the top of the blog. I hope these help you on your journey as much as they have me!   1 .) Passionate Ink by Angela Knight - The new edition is now available, but if you can get your hands on the old edition, I recom...

What Sparks a Story Idea in Me

A common question writers get is "Where do you get all these ideas from?" The truth is, it's different for every writer. Everyone's brain is different, and the way we create is all different. Which is one of the reasons it makes this writing journey so magical and beautiful.  It's also a reason there is room at the table for every single writer. Because no one can write a book exactly like you can. They will all be unique. Even if 10 writers are given the same story to write and the same characters, plot points, etc. You will still have 10 different books because everyone's brain will take a different creative journey to connect those plot points and get to "the end."  Today I'm sharing a glimpse into my process. How I get story ideas. Other authors may get ideas these ways too and others won’t. There is no wrong process in the ideation stage. It's whatever works for you. On that note, I want to share a quotes from Meghan March's Creativ...
