Literary Friday ya’ll…..

Hey ya’ll! Today is a gorgeous sunshine filled day. Miss A (aka the cutest niece ever) is coming to spend the night and I have been scheduling blog posts and finding books to read all week!

It’s time for my feet (with the coral-polished nails) to be put up on the ottoman and to grab a cool drink and let the weekend wash over me….. beginning now!

1. Deep South Magazine and their #literaryfriday: News about MS Book Festival (C-SPAN was there broadcasting live, folks!), a new festival is Milton, Georgia and much more….

2. Lots of giveaways happening at Traveling With T: SEASON OF SALT AND HONEY by Hannah Tunnicliffe, MY VERY BEST FRIEND by Cathy Lamb, and THE MIDDLE OF SOMEWHERE by Sonja Yoerg. All, except for the SEASON SALT AND HONEY are US only. SSH is US/Canada only. Continue reading →

Literary Friday, ya’ll……

It’s Friday! *jazzzzzzzzz hands*

1. Deep South Magazine and their #literaryfriday: Talk about Southern Gothic, GO SET A WATCHMAN, news about books festivals and MUCH more!

2. The Thinking Closet has a DIY Camera Strap tutorial that I am totes digging!

3. A Touch of Book Madness has some authors she’d invite for tea!

4. Did Library Educated think EAT PRAY LOVE was worth her time? Find out!

5. Ivory Owl Reviews picks Jack Black to play the role of Gavin in THOSE GIRLS- a choice I completely support. Think about it- he’d be like Stanley Tucci in THE LOVELY BONES- a role that goes completely against type and therefore is 100% memorable.

6. OnDBookshelf gives A HUNDRED SUMMERS by Beatriz Williams the ole 5 star review!

7. Always With A Book is giving away ALL THE SINGLE LADIES by Dorothea Benton Frank.

8. Was Wendy Wax’s A WEEK AT THE LAKE a hit or a miss for Stacy @ The Novel Life?

9. What are you reading for #FridayReads? I’m reading an e-ARC of X by Sue Grafton (due out in August!) and probably going to balance that with a light read- possibly something in the funny category!

Happy Reading and Bookishly Yours,

T @ Traveling With T

Literary Friday ya’ll…….

Hello! Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and today is Galentine’s Day (according to social media 🙂 What are your plans for either day?

In case you have not seen my grumbling on social media, I’m in the middle of a housing renovation. It was just going to be a fresh coat of paint- but it’s turned into so much more. (I’m thinking my obit will read: “She died in a pile of paint samples as she couldn’t make up her mind on what color really was THE color.”) Trying to coordinate, pick a few colors and keep up with work/blogging has had me crying in my glass of wine at least 1x this week.

But today’s Friday and I’m putting on my happy face. Let’s boogie! Continue reading →
