Broke out my #Vonnegut pint glass. Best gift ever from @HeatherBookNerd 🩶 It‘s a beautiful evening in Tennessee, and the cicadas are calm (for now).

My city is hosting its first ever bookstore crawl! Four days, 23 participating independent bookstores, and so much fun! I‘ve made it to 10 so far and have more planned for this weekend. It‘s been delightful! I‘ve been crawling with friends and my kids and even found the best pair of book earrings! 📚 Such an incredible community event.

It‘s Friday, I have Beer and the Vonnegut documentary

Banned book week is making me a little homesick for my native Indianapolis. If anyone lives in that area visit the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library on my behalf, please. They usually have all sorts of stuff going on for banned book week.
