Literary Friday ya’ll….

Ever see the GIF of the cat typing? That has been me all week. My computer has felt like a 3rd arm as I have been working hard on so much. I’ve been Instagramming. Twittering. Facebooking. Planning for Book Expo. I did take a break on Monday to get my nails done 🙂 And it looks like I’ll be getting to see Mary Kay Andrews next week 🙂

1. ICYMI at Traveling With T: Such a Perfect Wife and giveaways of Only Ever Her and The View from Alameda Island.

2. Keep your eyes peeled for a mystery list for Spring coming from Erin at Deep South Magazine. Will post any day now 🙂

3. #FridayReads: Still reading A Deadly Feast.

8. I LOVE my Pink Hibiscus…

It’s not bookish, but I love, love, love my new hibiscus! Ya’ll might remember my quest for a yellow hibiscus last weekend. I looked everywhere and the only yellow I found was on it’s last breath- the leaves were so wilted & if it had been on clearance, I’d had bought it & given it TLC. So I made do with the pink one & now I think I love it even more! . . #gardening #genxbookstagrammers

9. Have you read Only Ever Her?

View this post on Instagram

Thanks 🙏 @littlebirdpublicity #partner for the new @marybethwhalen book, Only Ever Her, out tomorrow ( May 7th!) @lakeunionauthors . . About Only Ever Her: It was to be the perfect wedding—until the bride disappeared. Annie Taft’s wedding is four days away, and it will be one of the grandest anyone can remember in her small South Carolina town. Preparations are in order. Friends and family are gathering in anticipation. Everything is going according to plan. Except that Annie herself has vanished. Did she have second thoughts? Or has something much worse happened to the bride-to-be? As the days pass, the list of suspects in her disappearance grows. Could it be the recently released man a young Annie misidentified as her mother’s killer? Could it be someone even closer to her? While her loved ones frantically try to track her down, they’re forced to grapple with their own secrets—secrets with the power to reframe entire relationships, leaving each to wonder how well they really knew Annie and how well they know themselves. . . Doesn’t it sound GREAT? Well, if you think that- you should pop over to my blog quick fast and in a hurry because I am giving a copy away!!!! . . #linkinbio #genxbookstagrammers #bibliophile
