My fall book lineup is looking pretty good! Drunk On Love by @thebestjasmine (Sept. 20) Rest Is Resistance by @TheNapMinistry (Oct. 11) The Light We Carry by @MichelleObama (Nov. 15) Maybe I should relaunch the book club for this? 🤔

@vixmarin Well, depends what you’re in the mood for…loved The Mamas by Helena Andrews-Dyer. Currently reading The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chen. But if you want an escape: Jasmine Guillory. Always Jasmine Guillory. I’m planning on rereading Royal Holiday this season.

Around age 6. I wrote a story called Dinosaurs in Outer Space and my dad insisted I add it to the list of books I read for the library’s summer reading challenge. His reasoning? “If you wrote it, you read it.” And I’ve been writing ever since. 😌 https://t.co/lo0Yb1k09R

It took me longer than I care to admit to finish @jessaminechan's The School for Good Mothers for various reasons (chief among them, my own experience with PPD & anxiety), but holy crap, what a novel! Reese, I'm ready for the film adaptation! https://t.co/32OjBdOntY

Raise your hand if you're a recovering people-pleaser! 🙋🏾‍♀️ I chatted with author @Nataliemlue about her new book, The Joy of Saying No, and how you can reclaim your power by, well, saying no. https://t.co/uwylp5zzOl

I love that my neighbor and I are both Christian moms who cuss a lot.* Jesus understands. *not at our children (because I know how the internet can be) but in life in general.

Out of stock

Time for my annual rereading of Big Magic. I love starting the year with a poignant reminder to embrace and unleash my creativity. ✨ Which book do you return to time & time again for inspiration? https://t.co/G1ZxkvY3G7

I cried MANY times while reading @larabazelon’s Ambitious Like A Mother. It was a timely read as I started it right before returning to a traditional 9-5…worried about how I would “balance” it all: work, book and baby.
