What should you listen to next? Check out @thebookshoppodcast! This podcast is hosted by Mandy Jackson-Beverly, a confessed bibliophile who believes independent bookshops are the gems of communities and authors are the rock stars of the literary world. As an author and book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books, Mandy profoundly understands and appreciates what it takes to write a book and present it to readers. Favorite Episode: @leah__koch, @therippedbodice: โIn todayโs episode, Iโm closer to home. Just a 90-mile drive and Iโm in Culver City, home of The Ripped Bodice, where I chatted with co-owner Leah Koch. Hereโs a short blurb about this romance-only indie bookshop! The Ripped Bodice, owned by sisters Leah and Bea Koch, is the only exclusively romance bookstore on the West Coast. The store is proudly Woman and Queer Owned and features a vast and diverse selection of romance fiction. In addition to books, The Ripped Bodice carries a wide selection of gift items focusing on supporting independent, woman-owned businesses.โ Find links and more podcast recommendations here: tinyurl.com/PodcastReco. #ExpoRecommends #podcastrecommendation #TheBookshopPodcast #MandyJacksonBeverly #RippedBodice #LeahKoch #podcast #podcastsarelit #books #bookshop #bookstore

โจFunny Story Release Partyโจ Monday night was a blast!! One of the most fun days Iโve had in a while, and that was all even before Emily Henry showed up!! But then she did and made this a night that I wonโt forget!! A massive, heartfelt thank you to the booksellers at @therippedbodice for organizing such a fun evening, and to the bartenders from @thebutterybar for the delicious beverages!! Your energy made the night what it was!!โฅ๏ธ Fun fact about me is that I met Emily back when I was 14 after she just published THE LOVE THAT SPLIT THE WORLD. We bonded over our matching striped shirts and the fact that her FMC and I shared a first name. Itโs been 10 years since then (wow!) and itโs been a joy following her writing career. I โฅ๏ธ you, EmilyโI didnโt get a chance to say so last night, but thank you, thank you for everything!! Shout out to my friend Rachel for coming to the party with me, and for all the behind the scenes publishing folks who organized this national midnight release! Big hugs to you.

made a pilgrimage to the sacred lands a couple weeks ago!!!

Picked up physical copies of beach read and PWMOV to complete my EmHen collection and swift and saddled to feed my cowboy romance addiction.

You know Iโm a sucker for a good book signing, and last nightโs event at @therippedbodice Brooklyn reminded me why! Loved hearing KT Hoffman talk about his debut novel, THE PROSPECTS (I reviewed it several posts ago), and Alicia Thompsonโs and the audience membersโ questions were excellent! Also met the wonderful Sarah, who created these adorable baseball cards - and she even signed them! I met new friends and also ran into friends I already knew! And I had a great meal across the street - give me all the mole sauce! Another magical night in Brooklyn!
Meeting Sarah Adams healed my soul so much, everytime I meet the authors who wrote the books I adore it gives me the best sensation. Also first time at the ripped bodice, did I go crazy and buy merch. Yes, Yes I did :) #rippedbodice #authors #sarahadams #rulebook #launch
