Loved hearing Wilson speak, then meeting him afterward, recently in Nashville! He‘s so funny, quirky, and sweet. This was not my fave of his, but still enjoyable.

I‘m Pennywise, my 11 year old is Art the Clown. The killer clown selfie was his idea. 🤡😆 #HappyHalloween

We #NashvilleLittens do two swaps annually. Today is #SpookySwap Day! My match @adnama82 spoiled me to death. 🖤👻📚 Love it all so much!

This did not need to be so got dang long.

This was a #reread for #bookclub. I was pretty disappointed that most of my book club didn‘t like it. They thought the organization was too jumbled. I think they didn‘t understand that it‘s part memoir, too. Idk. I still thought it was a great one; unique to the genre.

Not in the Litsy database (but is in goodreads and story graph). We are huge TØP fans, so I grabbed this prior to our 3rd show earlier this month. A must read for fans. ?

Finally made some time for a little audio puzzling! 👻🎧🧩

Beautiful fall evening. Got my kindle and a blanket covered in books. Sort of watching my boy‘s team train, too. ⚽️🍂

Southern Festival of Books was brimming with fabulous vendors. Story Keeper Studio (look for them on IG) had so many adorable tiny book cases, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw the Vonnegut one!! I had to have it. 🤩

Southern Festival of Books swag. 💸 Zero regrets!
(Next post will be a close up of the tiny book case.)

37th Southern Festival of Books! A huge thank you to Vanderbilt University for throwing support to this event so it could still happen this year after gov‘t cuts to humanities programs. 😤 There were tons of authors, but I chose Ruth Reichl, Silas House (w/ Ashley Judd), Kevin Wilson, and Pulitzer winner Jonathan Eig. All incredible!!

While in Palm Beach over fall break, we visited this rare books shop on Worth Avenue, one of the richest shopping districts in the US. (This is the only store we went in, lol). This first edition of The Catcher in the Rye, unsigned, $11K. Word is there‘s a signed first edition of The Hobbit there for a cool $475K. Imagine!!

Found a good reading spot outside the gym where my 11 year old is participating in a basketball clinic with our high school team. It‘s a gorgeous evening in middle Tennessee!

Spot on color coordination! My husband and I spent a few days in Turks & Caicos for an incredible trip courtesy of one of his customers. Lucky, lucky us!

A ghostwriter is tasked with writing her estranged-horror-author-father‘s memoir? Yeah, sign me up! This is the kind of thriller I can get behind. I‘m generally not a fan of the genre because there‘s often too much plot, not enough development. This is well-written and not so far fetched my eyes rolled out of my head.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Facing decades-old trauma to help the next generation. The last of Boyne‘s four novella series. All intertwined, all explore abuse and trauma. Very thoughtfully crafted.

Quietly unhinged. Then loud. What happens when pain expresses itself as harm.

Make dumb choices, win stupid prizes. A hauntingly written battle of conscience.

A situation arises where a “retired” getaway driver needs a bunch of money, fast. Pretty typical Cosby, but we like it. Things go awry, and our guy has a moral conundrum.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The title is a bit too on the nose, but I‘ll allow it. Brothers get mixed up in some bad business and shit gets gritty. And toasty.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Susan Powell‘s story. This is very disturbing from the newlywed start. Creeps beget freaking creeps. There is ZERO doubt what happened, and yet, ZERO justice. These types of cases are utterly infuriating. Grabbed this after listening to a recent episode of Murder in America Podcast.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A study of new age spirituality. More cultish goodness (eh, weirdness), if you will. Fascinating, and well researched. Thanks to my friend Sarah Stewart Holland via a recent Pantsuit Politics pod episode!
