📚 Here are the book recommendations from this w 📚 Here are the book recommendations from this week’s show! Our guest @jodipicoult recommended #HouroftheWitch by @chrisbohjalian (who will be our guest on the April 28th show!). Jodi raved about Chris's ability to write authentic female characters and to craft stories from a woman's point of view. Our own @maryalicemonroe recommended #fayefaraway by @helenfisher_author which she is enjoying on audio and compared to The Time Traveler's Wife. @kristinharmel recommended #LittlePiecesofMe by @thishammer which she called a beautiful book by a gorgeous writer that explores some fascinating issues. @pattichenry recommended #whenthestarsgodark by @paula_mclain which, as a thriller, is a genre switch for Paula. Patti called the book "astounding." Paula will be on the show in July! #friendsandfiction #bookpodcast #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendations #podcast @marykayandrews @kristywharvey
Have you read @kristinharmel's F&F essay on @parad Have you read @kristinharmel's F&F essay on @parade.media this week?  In honor of our first birthday, she wrote about two independent booksellers who have struggled to stay afloat this past year. We talk each week on Friends & Fiction about the importance of supporting indie bookstores, but we don't tell you often enough about the human stories behind the stores we feature. So meet the incredible VaLinda Miller of @turningpagebookshop and the wonderful Angela Trigg of @thehauntedbookshopmobile, who have both gone above and beyond to keep serving their customers. And remember (especially on April 24, which is #IndependentBookstoreDay!) to keep supporting local businesses as our communities begin to reopen! Thanks to @siba_books, @americanbooksellers and @thinkingbinc for all the great work you do. Read Kristin's column at #linkinbio
