Happy Friday! This week I’m bringing you (more) celebrity book picks I’ve loved, a new release by one of my favorite authors, a book review, the posts you loved most from September, and my thoughts on writing book reviews.
And I have some special announcements and fantastic e-book deals at the end!
Good Morning America Book Club Picks I’ve Read and Loved ❤️

The Good Morning America Book Club began in October 2019 and I’m sharing the titles I’ve read from that list. So many of these books have been rated 5 stars by me and two of them appeared on my “Top 5 Books of the Year” in 2024 and 2025.
TBR: Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult

How does a book end up on my TBR? A bookish friend asks if I’ve read it yet! She knows Jodi Picoult is THAT author for me.
Book Review: The Astral Library by Kate Quinn

I borrowed The Astral Library by Kate Quinn from Libby before a weekend getaway recently. I’m a big fan of her historical fiction, so I had to check out her magical realism debut!
Posts You Loved Most: September 2026

In September, I started a 30 Days of Writing Project. Take a look back at the posts you loved most from the month!
Writing Book Reviews

I have a confession to make: one of the hardest parts for me of writing about books is writing a concise book review that is more than just a summary and “I loved it” or “I hated it.”
A few more things before I wrap it up!
First, if you are local to the East Bay and a fan of Gilmore Girls, be sure to check out Flannel & Foliage: An Autumn Weekend in Danville. It’s happening THIS weekend! ☕️ 🍁
Second, author J. Blake Myersmann released the second novel in the Shades of Humanity trilogy this week. Catch up on my interview with him and order Rogue Spirit!
