Literary Friday ya’ll…..

Today was one of those glorious weather days that just makes you want to scream Fri-YAY!!! I’m not sure what I’m doing this weekend, but I’m thinking about going on a hunt for a yellow hibiscus!

1. This has NOT been a good week for blogging- but my giveaway for The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth is still going on at blog & Instagram.

Ya’ll… this cover is 100% delicious. Thanks @williammorrowbooks #partner for the bookmail. . . I’m already fighting the urge to spend the day outside reading, but when I see covers like this… well, it’s even harder to NOT want to run outside & soak up the sun ☀️ . . Is It’s Hot in the Hamptons on your summer reading list? . . #genxbookstagrammers #bibliophile #flatlaybooks #bookstagramandcoffee

#partner Not sure if I’m pulling the ‘cool’ look off, but I think that @marykayandrews’s The High Tide Club has upped my cool 😎 factor some. . . Have you read The High Tide Club? It’s out in paperback on 4/30 & will look delightful in your beach bag for those sunny days! @stmartinspress . . #genxbookstagrammers #thehightideclub #bibliophile #booksofig

Thanks 🙏 @lakeunionauthors @littlebirdpublicity for @kerrylonsdale’s Last Summer. #partner . . Today is sunny. Warm. Not too hot. And I’m feeling all Fri-YAY because we’re so close to the weekend & I think I’m going to take a walk through Lowe’s garden dept ( got my eyes out for a yellow hibiscus 🌺), have a long leisurely lunch somewhere yummy & then take a stroll through Sam’s Club. . .

I’m so sorry I just saw this, T! Thank you for sharing my review and for sharing my giveaway! You are the best! I know I already told you but that Kerry Lonsdale picture is HOT! All your pictures are amazing! I hope you found your new hibiscus! I’m on peony watch over here! ♥️ 🌸

No biggie, Jen! I LOVE that Kerry pic- I’ve really been enjoying the portrait mode! I did find a new hibiscus. I wound up getting a pink one because the only yellow I could find was bigger than what I wanted, but next year- a yellow is coming to my house. 🙂

I’ve been loving the pics you are sharing of the peony. I walked out today and did a search for a bud- but so far. nothing. I think I have 1 more year before I can expect blooms- but as always, I’m on peony watch here 🙂

  Thank you, Tamara! ♥️ Most of my favorite hibiscus have actually been the pink! That pink double I have is truly my favorite. I just picked the last of my peonies. Well, there is one tiny bud left, but I don’t think it will do much. It was less than a week of the beauties, and they open and don’t last long, but gosh, they were pretty for the short time! I should have a pic up very soon with a bunch of them. ♥️ I think next year is going to be your year, and it’s going to be BIG!

  I so hope so. Next year is the 3rd year for the peonies. Hope they bloom next year!!!!
