Literary Friday ya’ll….

Hey ya’ll… Well the first of May blew in and beautiful weather and things to do and planning a trip to New York City for Book Expo and getting a mystery list ready and planning a Memorial Day post and reading…. In a word: BUSY.

1. ICYMI at Traveling With T: Giveaway of Death on the River & Book Review: The Last Time I Saw You.

2. BIG NEWS: Early Saturday morning, I hit the BIG 1k followers on Instagram. I have a big belated blog anniversary/happy 1k to me giveaway in the works- stay tuned!

3. While The Better Sister did not have quite the twists that The Ex did- it’s still completely readable.

Raise your hand 🖐 if you had @alafairb’s The Better Sister pre-ordered for MONTHS ( maybe even as soon as it was available for pre-order!!) 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ . . I have enjoyed many of her books, but I have to say The Ex, where we meet Olivia is probably my favorite. Partly because of Olivia and mostly because of some incredible twists! . . The Better Sister is not quite on par with the twists like The Ex, but it has a great cast of characters & is very readable! . . #genxbookstagrammers #bibliophile #booksofig

I’ve never been to a book conference. Love reading about them on the blogs, though!
This weekend I’m reading Fatal Fortune by Miranda Rijiks thanks to Netgalley.

Book Expo is fun, but it has changed SOOOOOOOO much in just the short time I’ve been going. I’ll try to keep you informed about it!

That book sounds interesting- gotta check it out!
