18: Chat with Sarah Harman
Have you read All the Other Mothers Hate Me by Sarah Harman yet?? It is such a fun bingable suspense story with a snarky main character who is trying to solve the mystery of a boy going missing at her sons school. It was such a fun ride! I knew I wanted to interview Sarah because I had to know the brain behind Florence, our main character. Sarah is so honest about her author journey which I hope is helpful for aspiring authors!

17: March Reads
March was a fantastic month of reading, mainly due to the 3-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ book streak I found myself in! That has never happened before! But like all streaks, they come to end and Count My Lies was my bummer of a book to kill the high. I checked a lot of books off my TBR this month and I cannot wait to see what April has in store. Did you have a favorite book in March?Thanks for Listening!Loved🎧 The Poppy Fields ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 Broken Country ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It’s a Love Story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Liked🎧 The Story She Left Behind ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The Ghostwriter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 Sky Daddy ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫🎧 The Good Samaritan ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫🎧 A Map to Paradise ⭐️⭐️⭐️Meh🎧 Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 ⭐️⭐️💫The Love Haters ⭐️⭐️🎧 Count My Lies ⭐️⭐️Promise Me Sunshine ⭐️⭐️🎧 Swept Away ⭐️⭐️

16: Chat with Ashley Manley
It isn't too often I find an author that not only pulls on all my heartstrings while also simultaneously making me think that we'd actually be friends in real life! Ashley Manley has changed the women's fiction/romance game for me with her...let's call them...more mature female main characters and her relatable stories. I think I've aged out of the 25-something love stories because let's be honest, I've lived a lot of life since then. I hope you love this interview and love all of Ashley's books. She is such a gifted author and I can't wait to see what is in store for her in the coming years!Forever and Back is out now!Also from Ashley, Every Beautiful Mile and When Wildflowers BloomIG: @ashleymanleywriteswww.ashleymanleywrites.comCharlotte-area upcoming events:4/1 Belmont Bookshop, breakfast launch, Belmont, NC4/5 Fred & Junes Bookshop, signing 12-3, Mooresville, NC4/27, Gastonia Ghostpeppers baseball game in partnership with Belmont Bookshop @2:30
