Last night, I had the privilege of hearing @ChrisBohjalian speak about his new book at my local #indiebookstore, Quail Ridge Books. What made it even better was having my friends and fellow Littens @MallenNC and @Graciouswarriorprincess there too!
This book sounds so good and I can‘t wait to read it!
**updt: got the deets**
Have to vent but yowza!! I have a job interview on Monday and was waiting to get “more details” but . . . Crickets 🦗 🦗🦗
This is not good, right? Or do they need me to right-the-ship?! Actually, I don‘t think I would be in any role that requires “ship-righting”, but still.
Anyway 🎉 I *think* I have a job interview on Monday at 8:30 am even if I have to just show up and ask for the President 🥴🤣
Pecan pie for 🦃
Blind date with a Book! 🥰🥰🥰
#gladstonerds
Finally, I shall be able to review Eight Detectives... I read it recently but didn't want to spoil the mystery!
My own Blind Date is The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin. Looking forward to it 😊

Here‘s my own shortlist for the #bookerprize, in order of favourites.
I‘m cheating a bit by having TWO lists as, whilst these are my faves, I don‘t think they‘ll all make the list.
Bird-Hearts, In Ascension and Prophet Song should make the list. Study for Obedience will be on there because I hated it (!). And I think This Other Eden and Western Lane are more Booker-y than some of those above.
Looking forward to the *actual* list tomorrow!
On my way to Liverpool for a #bookshopcrawl with @TrishB and @Oryx (yes, because I haven‘t got enough books!)
Two Booker books for the train journey - All the Little Bird-Hearts on audio and Study for Obedience on Kindle.

Book adjacent but not exactly book related. #Gladstonerds, any plans for retreats or meetups next year? Planning a trip to UK with @Eyelit and we are leaning to late summer, but not committed to dates yet. We will definitely be visiting Gladstone, London, Hye on Wye, and Edinburgh, potentially other stops. But wondering if any plans are in place?
I‘m stealing Cuilin‘s photo from her post. We had a wonderful #litsymeetup yesterday in Woodstock, Vermont, midway between the two of us. The 5 hours blew by as we talked of Ireland, family, and books, books, books. So fun meeting you, Cuilin.
