Literary Friday ya’ll…

This weekend is the Sweet Potato Queen weekend. I’ll be wearing my big blue wig and having fun….

Sir Thomas update: As I write this post today (Wed)-he’s still missing. Today (Wed) makes 12 days. 😦 If he’s not returned by Friday, that will be 14 days. 😦 😦 😦 😦 My family is on Sir Thomas alert and knows I am to be notified if that gorgeous, gorgeous cat shows up. I’ll be sharing THAT news on my social media. But truthfully, if Sir Thomas shows up- you’ll be able to me crying and laughing and dancing. I MISS THAT CAT like crazy.

Today’s #jennsrainbowchallenge prompt is Blue! 💙💙💙💙 . . I have way more blue books, but I’m going to freely admit that with all that has been going on this week ( still missing kitty & other personal things) I was too lazy ( or exhausted 😩) to put in motion my ambitious blue photo plan. . . I’ve read & loved all these books- see any faves? . . @jennsbookvibes @sallyhepworth @susanmallery @sarahpekkanen @greer.hendricks @stmartinspress @harlequinbooks . . #bibliophile #book #booksofig #bookstagram #bluebooks

Last day of #jennsrainbowchallenge and it’s all the shades of purple today! 💜🌈📚 . . 2 of these books are still on my TBR list, but I absolutely 💜 LOVED 💜 @jessicastrawserauthor’s Not That I Could Tell ( also love the cover & if you haven’t read it- well it recently released in paperback.. hint, hint!!) . . Thanks to @jennsbookvibes for hosting such a fun & creative event this week. Seeing how #bookstagrammers took the topic of 🌈 book stacks & put their own spin on photos has brightened my spirits a bit this week. . . #bibliophile #book #booksofig #purplebookstack #bookstagram

4. Ya’ll, I saw a video of my littlest niece dancing to Baby Shark and that has been about the only thing that took away some of the sadness from Sir Thomas still missing.

Happy Pub Day to @laurenkdentonbooks! #partner . . Have you added Glory Road to your ‘want to read’ list? . . About Glory Road: Written in Lauren Denton's signature Southern style, Glory Road tells the story of three generations of women navigating the uncertain pathways of their hearts during a summer that promises to bring change–whether they're ready for it or not. At thirty-eight, garden shop owner Jessie McBride thinks her chances for romance are years behind her and, after her failed marriage, she's fine with that. She lives contentedly with her fiery mother and her quiet, headstrong daughter. But the unexpected arrival of two men on Glory Road make her question if she's really happy with the status quo. Handsome, wealthy Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter's wedding, and Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. And Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from high school days who's known her better than anyone and whom she hasn't seen in years, moves back to the red dirt road. Jessie finds her heart being pulled in directions she never expected. Meanwhile, Jessie's fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and trying to navigate a new world of identity and emotions–particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who's moved in just down the road. At the same time, Jessie's mother, Gus, increasingly finds herself forgetful and faces a potentially frightening future. As all three women navigate the uncertain paths of their hearts and futures, one summer promises to bring change–whether they're ready for it or not. . . #southernlit #book #bibliophile #booksofig #bookstagram #bookstagramandcoffee
