Ok, so we did a thing. 😍
We (Julia + Paula) made a Write Club podcast, where we talk about books and writing. You can get a sneak listen here, then check out the episode on our Patreon account (available to all levels of membership, $5/month + up).
All readers and writers welcome!

What are you reading?

I finished Whistler, Ann Patchett's newest novel, and please excuse me while I am slow to emerge from this book coma. I absolutely loved it. These are characters I could have stayed with forever, and Eddie Triplett/Daphne Fuller's stepfather/stepdaughter relationship was so good, I may have cried a few times. (Has anyone else read this yet?)

Now I'm reading I Will Greet the Sun Again by Khashayar J. Khabushani for the Bee Book Club on 6/16 and also The Littlest Bigfoot by Jennifer Weiner (such a sweet middle grade tale). - Paula

What about you?

It's our first ever kids' audiobook paint night! Thursday, June 25th from 6:30pm-8:30pm!

We're listening to Opal Watson: Private Eye and have kid-friendly paint kits on hand. Parents are welcome to buy a ticket for themselves, too!

The $15 cost includes all supplies, and no actual painting skills are required. These paint by number kits are fun and the perfect craft for a casual young artist.

We can't wait to see you there!

Hey y'all! Due to some unforeseen scheduling conflicts we're going to have to cancel PowerPoint Night.

Thank you to all the enthusiasm shown, hopefully there will be a time when we can try again and everything works out!
