I’m reading my 60th book of the year this week and achieving my Goodreads goal 😊 which I wasn’t sure I’d reach this year. Standing Against the Wind, by Traci L Jones. It’s MG and I’m really impressed with the author’s ability to create tension. Something I’m working on in my own writing.

Congratulations on achieving your Goodreads goal! I don’t know what hapened with my GR tracking, but it only shows about a quarter of all the books I’ve read this year.
Tension isn’t easy to get right. I like short, snappy chapters with a hook in the final part, but nothing too obvious. It’s great to hear you found an author who’s really good at this.

Sometimes GR misses books and I’m not sure why. I also laughed because a few of my 60 are picture books but as a picture book author I’m okay with that! 😊 Tension is one of a list of things I’m working on in my MG but hopefully the is getting shorter.
