but the greatest of these is instagram

It was so great to share the stage yesterday with @heath_hlee, author of #LeagueofWives @greensborobound literary festival. Huge thanks to the folks at @scuppernongbooks for hosting us and for the folks who showed up to hear us fawn over each other’s work!! Seriously, go get this book!
It’s been a while ❤️🍓#gibsontraditions
Book clubs 6, 7 and 8 were a big hit! Huge thanks to the gracious hosts, @nancygreen3730 @ellingtonsmidway and Kaye Evans for making the time and space to talk about this story and the beautiful women who inspired it. #BeyondthePoint #bookclub #bookofthemonthclub #whatshouldireadnext
Book Club number 5 with Amanda Beeler and her lovely ladies in Pennsylvania! I had to join via Skype but we chatted for nearly two hours about #beyondthepoint, all the characters, plot twists and emotional heartbreaks. It was so much fun! 📚 Thanks for having me ladies! #bookclubbook #bookclubnight #badassbookbabes #bestbooksof2019 #beyondthepoint #bookofthemonthclub
What impedes productivity more than a child? Literally nothing. But life is not about productivity, it is about beauty. And what is more beautiful than a child? Literally nothing.
Racing through this thought provoking nonfiction book like a mad woman. This book is about a group of military wives whose husbands were POWs during the Vietnam War. Ignored and silenced by the government, they took things into their own hands to bring their husbands home. It’s kind of like UNBROKEN meets THE HELP. 📚 IT IS SO GOOD. And I am so thrilled that the author Heath Hardage Lee and I will be in conversation this weekend at the @greensborobound book festival! Know anyone in the Greensboro/Raleigh area? Tell them to come see us! We will be talking about #leagueofwives and #beyondthepoint in conversation with @tracy_crow! 📚 Huge thanks to @scuppernongbooks for inviting me to be a part! If military stories aren’t your jam - @etafrum will also be there discussing her NYT bestseller, #aWomanisNoMan, which I will be posting about soon 🤩! 📚 What’s the last nonfiction book you read and couldn’t put down?
Hey Nashville! I know I haven’t seen some of my friends in AGES so guess what!? How about we grab some cocktails? I’ll be at @ellingtonsmidway on Wednesday night to talk about books and the friendships that make life worth living. I hope to see you there ❤️ (link to $15 ticket in profile... includes food and drink!)
Book Club Number 4 in the books! Huge thanks to @christinamvinson for inviting me to join her crew of smart, hilarious women to discuss #beyondthepoint! We made pizzas, drank some wine, determined that no dishes ever need “soaking,” and tried our best to cast the miniseries adaptation of the novel. Thanks so much Christina! It was a blast and I’m so grateful for you. 🤓 If you’ve read the book— who would you cast for Dani, Hannah, and Avery?
I love you mom. And I’m destined to look just like you.❤️ I’m lucky — not only because I got your good genes, but also because of all the things I’ve learned from you.
In January, my friend @jaymward14 convinced me to pop into @booksaremagicbk and pass my book along to the staff— even though the likelihood of that bookstore inviting me to do an event was SLIM. (She’s a good friend, you guys.) ☕️ While we were there, I had the chance to meet @johnkenneywriter - whose book #talktome is one of the best I’ve read this year. And then - out of nowhere popped @morningmoonproductions and @zibbyowens who recognized me from Instagram, where I’d stalked her podcast @momsdonthavetimetoreadbooks!! 📚 A few months later, I found myself in her office, recording a conversation about #beyondthepoint. I’m telling you, I’ve been totally blown away by Zibby’s kindness and support. 💙 AND... our conversation was so meaningful. Please pop over and check it out wherever you listen to podcasts!
