I am loving the anticipation of upcoming releases. Celebrate your own eagerly awaited reads by checking in at Breaking the Spine, for Waiting on Wednesday.
Today I’m excited about a book coming on June 3, from an author I’ve read. Alison Sweeney is also an actor from Days of Our Lives, and a host at The Biggest Loser. Her new book is entitled Scared Scriptless.
Amazon Description: Maddy Carson is a mass of contradictions. She loves her job as Script Supervisor on a hit TV show, but hates “Hollywood.” Super-organized and down-to-earth, Maddy is clearly one of the best at her job, and her strict dating rule – “No Actors!” – helps her keep focused on her career. However, a budding relationship with Craig, one of the executives at her company, may even propel her into the big leagues. Could Wolf County, her beloved hometown in the mountains, be saved from a financial crisis by creating a reality show featuring the eccentrics in the small ski village? Maddy is determined to try, even when she learns that Craig’s agenda doesn’t exactly line up with her altruistic goal.
Meanwhile, Maddy still has a full-time job to manage, her family to deal with, and a gorgeous new actor, Adam Devin, determined to wear down her resistance. Eventually Maddy must learn to break all her self-imposed rules and simply follow her heart.
Scared Scriptless offers an engagingly relatable heroine, laugh-out-loud humor, and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how television is made.

Not quite sure this is my thing, but it’s one of my dream goals to have a career as a scriptwriter, so I might just pick it up for that! I haven’t watched Days of our Lives in ages, now that I live without a television, but when I was younger it always used to be on telly! Thanks for sharing 🙂
