Literary Friday, ya’ll….

Well- Friday, we meet again 🙂 🙂 Big plans for the weekend include: blogging. Cleaning up some things. Organizing some paperwork. And maybe seeing Frozen 2 :)Next week, I’ll be back at the election polls for one more round of poll worker duties and then Thanksgiving.

Last weekend, I went to see Charlie’s Angels (pretty good) and get my nails done 🙂

#partner Thanks 🙏 @amazonpublishing @lakeunionauthors @kccpr for the bookmail today! . . I have noticed this book on Twitter here recently- but didn’t know much about it. But between the cover & the “Mean Girls for moms” blurbs- I’m getting excited to give it a try! . . Look for it on December 1! . . #genxbookstagrammers #travelingwithtreads #hollybanksfullofangst #julievalerie

Taking a break from movie watching & mani getting to grab a bite for a late lunch. I got to use my @bookbedsboutique ( queen sizers) book sleeve for the first time today. As you can tell, the ARC of Almost Just Friends by @jillshalvis fits perfectly. . . I’m new to the fun of book sleeves- but this one spoke to me ( hello cats!) . . Right now, I only have 1 sleeve- but with the cuteness of all these sleeves- I may have to order more. 🤣 . . Isn’t my cat sleeve ‘purr’fectly adorable? {Any answer than YES & we cannot be friends 🤣🤣} . . #genxbookstagrammers #booksleeves #bookbedsboutique

Today over at Facebook I was reminded that this photo was my most liked photo of 2012. . . It was one of those gorgeous days for a beach wedding. I was one of 9 bridesmaids. I wanted to take home the hair & makeup lady because she understood the look I wanted but couldn’t completely articulate. And then she pulled out those false eyelashes & gave me eyelashes that I had only dreamed of having. . . It was a good day for my brother to get married.

Great characters, fun, good mystery & a couple I can really root for. . . From my review: “The mystery. I loved investigating with Lindsey!” . .
