We were fortunate to get some insightful #writingadvice from one of last week’s guests @victoriabentonfrank. Thanks Victoria for this #writingtip. If you missed the Wed 5/31 episode with Victoria, @megmitchellmoore & @audrey.and.emily, catch it anytime on our FB page or YouTube channel. We’ll see you on Wed 6/7 at 7pm ET for the launch celebration for our own @kristinharmel’s #theparisdaughter.

Next week’s episode of the #friendsandfiction Wed night web show once again marks the triumphant return of “F&F Theater” as the Fab Four (@kristinharmel, @kristywharvey, @pattichenry & @marykayandrews), podcast host @rsblockmtm, and F&F’s Managing Director @megwalker1225 gather to celebrate the launch of Kristin Harmel’s #theparisdaughter in grand style!

You won’t want to miss this show, complete with props and bad accents — but also with loads of moving insights about Kristin’s new novel and, as always, lots of laughs.

THE PARIS DAUGHTER (@gallerybooks, June 6) is a gripping historical novel about two mothers who must make unthinkable choices in the face of the Nazi occupation. We agree with @lisascottoline who says “Harmel exemplifies the best in historical fiction.” @marthahallkelly raves: "THE PARIS DAUGHTER tore up my heart and put it back together again," while @katequinn5975 calls the book "a gorgeous, gut-wrenching read!" We know that Kristin’s latest is shaping up to be one of the hottest books of Summer 2023 and it’s one you most definitely do not want to miss out on! So be sure to tune in and hear all about it.

Join us Wed 6/7 at 7pm Eastern on the F&F Facebook page and YouTube channel for all the fun. Meanwhile, shop for Kristin’s book — and books by all F&F hosts and guests — in the F&F Shop on @bookshop_org. See you on the 7th!

On this past Wednesday’s show, our guest @megmit

On this past Wednesday’s show, our guest @megmitchellmoore mentioned a few books she has read lately and loved: #pineapplestreet by @jennyjacksonpineapple, #romanticcomedy by #curtissittenfeld, and #ihavesomequestionsforyou by @rebeccamakkai. Meg also said she enjoyed Makkai’s latest so much that she went back and picked up her debut novel #thegreatbelievers. “I somehow missed it all those years ago when it came out. It’s such a feat. It’s just amazing.” When we asked @victoriabentonfrank the last book she raved about she named three: #MadHoney by @jodipicoult, #TheMidnightLibrary by @mattzhaig, and #Euphoria by @lilybooks. “God those books were good! I didn’t know anything about them when I picked them up, and I think that’s why they all took me on this wild ride through the brains of those brilliant authors.” Victoria also said she’s reading #TomorrowTomorrowandTomorrow by @gabriellezevin right now and devouring it. Thanks for the great #bookrecommendations, Meg & Victoria! If you missed the Wed 5/31 episode with Meg, Victoria & @audrey.and.emily, catch it anytime on our FB page or YouTube channel. We will see you next on Wed 6/7 at 7pm ET for the launch celebration for our own @kristinharmel’s #theparisdaughter.
