Here is my fun-sized haul from Friendly Alien Books this week. Did you know they have a photo booth right now?! Stop and snap before it’s gone!

I think I may have been the first person to bring props. If you thought you saw me walking down Wyoming Ave with a plastic Halloween knife… you totally did. Horror girly for life. 😆

I really love the opportunity to make raffle baskets for shows. This one is a little different from the last round featuring our gay hockey boyfriends.

🔮 A lush deep purple blanket
🔮 A whimsical witchy puzzle
🔮 A glowing moon lamp
🔮 Three witchy modern classics that I call required reading from and
🔮 Crescent moon bookends
🔮 Custom ribbon charmed bookmark and page holder by yours truly

Grab some raffle tickets today at Read Me, Maybe Book Fair & Bingo 🖤

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

A bigger and longer BookCon? Well, yes! 😌 We’re returning this spring with not two, but THREE DAYS starting Friday, April 9 through Sunday, April 11.

We know you want all the details, but that’s all we can officially share—for now! We promise to be in touch in early fall about ticket on-sale dates, ticket type details, pricing, and the start of our author announcements. We know you want details about what’s happening at the show before we put tickets on sale, so we’re going to do our best to get out what we can beforehand.

For now, we’re just excited to be able to spend even more time celebrating our love of stories with you and this community! More to come soon. Until then, happy reading.❤️

Every time I do my little monthly round up, I can’t believe how quickly the months pass by. This month dabbled in a lot of genres and this was a batch of winners! Most notably, my friend .l.beers_author latest (which will be available this month)

🎆 I finally gave in and read the last book in the Game Changers series. I’ll miss you, Ilya. Until 2027 when we meet again.

🎆 I loved What Happened To Those Girls by - what a fun thriller! You have a new fan. ❤️

🎆 In bookish television, I watched The Five Star Weekend. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If .garner is in it, I’m going to watch it. But luckily, this was a really wonderful series. My husband and I also watched I Will Find You.

🎆 One of the most exciting parts of July was getting to see The Outsiders on Broadway. It was a very special day with a very special little lady!

And that’s a wrap on July! Until next time… 💜
