Throwback to that day I saw Matthew Gray Gubler and briefly talked to his amazing parents. They’re so freaking sweet, and so is he. They’re all beautiful souls ❤️

The National Book Festival schedule is live! http://www.loc.gov/bookfest/schedule/ Deb will present at the Genre Fiction Stage from 1:40 p.m. until 2:25 p.m. From 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., she will be available at her signing line, located on the main festival floor. The bookstore is also on the main floor (the bottom). If you haven’t been to the festival before, it’s massive and chaotic. ALWAYS arrive early! As hinted at in previous posts, I am working on something special for my followers during this event, as I will be attending. 😉 Watch this space!

Last month at #natbookfest I received this beautiful portrait from a fan. Her name is Diamante (@dcbolduc9390) and, as you can see, she's incredibly talented. When I started writing books. I couldn't have imagined all the amazing and generous and talented people it would allow me to meet. I'm a very lucky author. Thank you guys for every kind word and thank you Diamante for this beautiful painting.

Activate Book Buying Ban! 😂😂😂 These are all books I was gifted (3) and bought (20) in September! A majority of these were from the last week! I cannot believe how out of control my buying has been!! Will share the titles at the end of the month! Time to crack some spines and read! What're your new purchases/loans this month?

This #signedsunday I'm thinking back to last weekend and how exciting it was to be a part of #natbookfest this year. Meeting Jesmyn Ward, Michael Eric Dyson, and Roxane Gay was both a thrill and an extreme pleasure 📚❤️🖋 #books #read #reading #bookish #booklover #booklife #bibliophile #authorevent #jesmynward #singunburiedsing #salvagethebones #menwereaped #michaelericdyson #tearswecannotstop #roxanegay #ayiti #essay #memoir #shortstories #writersofcolor #bookstagram #booksofinstagram
