Happy Friday, I’m so glad to be back in your inbox today! It was HOT this week in the East Bay, but that didn’t stop me from buying my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.
Today I’m sharing all about my new writing project, the books I’ve read from a celebrity book club, the time travel fiction read I added to my TBR, a recent 5-star book review, and all about Library Card Sign-Up Month!
30 Days of Writing
On Sunday, I kicked-off a short-term project where I write and publish a blog post for 30 days in a row. To help plan what I actually intend on writing about, I created a schedule. Today is Day 6! You can follow me on Instagram @eastbaybookshelf to receive the daily updates. I’ll also be sharing it all in the “5 on a Friday” each week. Stay tuned!
Reese’s Picks I’ve Read (and a few I loved!) ❤️
I’ve been casually following along with Reese’s Book Club since it started in 2017. When I reviewed the official list this week, I realized I’ve read 20 books, and so many of them are some of my favorite books (like Tom Lake by Ann Patchett). This month, I started reading her latest book club selection because it’s the sequel to a book I read 10 years ago!
TBR: Time Travel for Beginners
You know that I can’t pass up a book that involves time travel. Check out the latest addition to my TBR list from a new-to-me author.
Book Review: The Day the World Came to Town by
What do I do when my mom tells me she’s going to read a book? I add it to my TBR and put it on hold at the library! I finished The Day the World Came to Town in a few days. It’s about the 38 international flights carrying 7,000 people who were diverted to the tiny town of Gander, Newfoundland on September 11th.
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month
I’ve moved around a lot in my adult life and one of the first things I do in each new city is check out the local library and sign up for a library card! This month I’m celebrating all the ways that having a library card improves my life and the communities I’ve lived in.
That’s all for this week. This weekend is full of basketball for us! I am also hoping to finish my two current reads: It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan and Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty.
What are you reading this weekend?
