Summer is (un-officially) here! 🎉 And I’m fully stocked for the long weekend with great news reads thanks to two wonderful independent bookstores.

First up the gorgeous, meticulously curated @thelitbar—the only independent bookstore in The Bronx, a borough that is home to 1.4 million people (and my daughter’s high school). Can’t make it to The Bronx? You can order from the Lit Bar online anytime—including my books! Link in my bio.

Also visited the eye-popping new @mcnallyjackson in downtown Brooklyn’s DeKalb market. I mean, look at that staircase. It’s a book lovers heaven. ✨

What’s at the top of your summer TBR?

Such fun to return to NYC and see A GOOD MARRIAGE paperback @target! Grab it while you can at 30% off. A thrill to be in such amazing company @sarahpekkanen @lisajewelluk!

And sidebar fellow NYers if you ever need a fix of life in the ‘burbs—which let’s face it we all sometimes do—go to the Bronx Terminal Target. It is HUGE AND SPARKLING AND YOU WILL BUY COUNTLESS THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NEED. Of course, everything I just bought is an absolute necessity. (at Target Bronx Terminal)

Goodbye, Bermuda. Alas, I am too terrible a swimmer and too afraid of water to ever really be a boat person. But you were still exactly the right place at the right time.

You know I love you NYC. But after 18 months, I gotta say, it’s also pretty damn good to be gone.
