Sunday Smatterings

Happy Sunday! I’m out on the road touring GOOD GIRLS LIE, which has been incredibly fun, oftentimes moving, and laden with good friends, lots of great book discussions, some poignant moments, and many new readers. I’ll do a full wrap up later. For now, enjoy some links…


GOOD GIRLS in the wild…

I have been having a blast on book tour! Thank you to everyone who has come out to celebrate GOOD GIRLS LIE with me. From Nashville to Boston, the events have been so much fun!

A few of the places GGL has popped up recently:

-BookBub: This Thriller Is ‘Pretty Little Liars’ Meets ‘Gossip Girl.’

-The Page 69 Test. It’s always interesting to see how one of my books does with this test.

-My Book The Movie. Here’s who I’d cast!

WHAT I’M READING:

GIDEON THE NINTH by Tamsyn Muir

Every review you will see about this book starts the same way—I’ve never read anything quite so unique. This is the truth. I mean, you put together space, necromancy, wars and petty grievances, a kick ass heroine (Gideon) with a smart mouth and a longing to prove herself, pair her with a nemesis named Harrow who is the daughter of the Ninth House Leaders and as such in total control of her, and watch the bones fly. I’ve never read anything quite so original in my life. The cover itself gives you a clue about the journey—all those skeletons! Absolutely wonderful, and more to come in this series next year! I can’t wait.

What are you reading?


That’s it from me. Think about a visit to our nation’s capitol, visit your local indie, watch a great new show, and I’ll see you next week!

Peace and hugs,
J.T.
