🐉📚 The Ballad of Falling Dragons 📚🐉

This one does not ease you in… it pulls you straight into a world full of dragons, secrets, and characters you end up caring about way too quickly.

It’s the kind of fantasy where you tell yourself “just one chapter” and suddenly it’s way later than you planned and you’re fully locked in.

If you love:
✨ High-stakes fantasy
✨ Emotional storytelling
✨ Dragon-filled worlds
.this is one to pick up next!

📍 Also, don’t miss us today, 11–4 at Thundering Shrimp Tattoo ✨

We’ll be hanging out at Thundering Shrimp Tattoo’s Shrimp Day this Saturday from 11–4! 🦐📚

Come grab a book, say hello, and enjoy a day full of local vendors, raffle prizes, food, and fun. Tilly will be stocked and ready for your next great read.

Who knew shrimp and books made such a good pairing? 😉

See you there!

The only thing better than a beach day is a beach day with a good book. ☀️📚🌊

Whether you’re reading with your toes in the sand, on the porch with a glass of sweet tea, or hiding inside from the heat with the AC blasting, summer just feels better with a good story.

Now we have to know… what are y’all reading right now? 👀📖

Drop your current read in the comments and let’s see what’s keeping everyone turning pages this summer!

Just finished Yesteryear and now I NEED someone to talk about it with. 😅📚

Has anyone else read this one? And more importantly… would y’all be interested in a Peddling Prose book club? Nothing fancy—just good books, good conversations, and probably a little overanalyzing fictional characters. 👀

Let me know in the comments if you’d be interested!

And don’t forget to stop by and see Tilly and her Traveling Tales tomorrow at Paws on the Battlefield! 🐾❤️ We’d love to see you there.

We love the Bridgeton Blueberry Festival and look forward to returning as a vendor this year with Tilly and her Traveling Tales. There are so many things to see and do, there is guaranteed to be something for the whole family.
Bridgeton BlueberryFest

On June 13th in North Carolina, the Bridgeton Blueberry Festival takes place as one of the sweetest events of the summer in coastal NC! Held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Vernon Blades Park, near Academy and B Street, this waterfront festival brings a full day of food, music, shopping, and family fun to Bridgeton. Visitors can pick up fresh blueberries, browse more than 70 vendors, and enjoy over 12 food trucks serving festival favorites. Carnival treats, BIC’s Beer Tent, and live music from the Southern Hellcats add to the lively summer setting. Families will find plenty for kids, including waterslide fun, a playground, swings, and New Bern Puppets performing shows every hour. Kids can also help paint a brick for Brindy the Brick Snake. The festival also includes K-9 demos by the Craven County Sheriff’s Office, Possumwood Acres Wild Animal Sanctuary, a dunk tank, cooling stations, and an ATM on-site. With treats, animals, music, vendors, and waterfront views, it’s a fun coastal NC day trip full of sweet blueberry themed food and drink!

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. 🇺s

Coming from a proud military family, this day has always held a special meaning for me. I’m deeply grateful for the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who made our freedoms possible.
