What is the panic buying equivalent for apple picking? Yeah, that. If you need me, I’ll be eating apples. Only apples. Forever. 🍁

🎙 New Podcast Episode with Kimberly McCreight, author of FRIENDS LIKE THESE — Season 10, Episode 83 is live! 🎧 Listen (wherever you get your podcasts) now! More on @kimberlymccreight and the episode below!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kimberly McCreight joined Zibby for an IG Live to talk about her latest novel, Friends Like These, which was inspired in part by her own tight-knit group of college friends. The two talked about Kimberly’s writing process (which she doesn’t necessarily recommend), what it has been like to adapt this book for a television series with Steven Spielberg’s production company, and, of course, what roles they watch played in their respective friend groups.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thank you so much @morristownbooks for an absolutely wonderful festival and for gifting me the chance to finally meet the lovely and wildly talented @meganlmiranda in person. So grateful to all the readers who came out. And hooray for the safe (careful) return of in-person book festivals!

(p.s. In the interests of full disclosure, I am not actually taller than Megan. I do however wear shamelessly tall shoes.)

Anywhere near New Jersey on October 9th? I will be at the fabulous Morristown Festival of Books with the amazing @meganlmiranda who, despite doing a million online events with, I have never met in person. Join us at 12:30 pm while we spill all our secrets about mysteries and assorted mayhem and the terror of writing without an outline.

Hope to see you there!

The Festival welcomes Kimberly McCreight who will be speaking about her latest novel, FRIENDS LIKE THESE, on 10/9! The book is about a desperate intervention that brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation—a reunion marked by lies, betrayal, and murder. 😲

Kimberly is the New York Times bestselling author of RECONSTRUCTING AMELIA, which was nominated for the Edgar, Anthony, and Alex Awards and was called Entertainment Weekly’s Favorite Book of the Year. Her next two books, WHERE THEY FOUND HER and A GOOD MARRIAGE were also critically acclaimed. A TV adaptation of A GOOD MARRIAGE is coming soon from Amazon and Nicole Kidman’s Blossom Films. FRIENDS LIKE THESE was published by Harper Books on September 7, 2021.

Despite endless airline fiascos, I made it to my second real in-person event in two years! Thank you so much @litchfieldbooks for having me down to the gloriously beautiful Pawleys Island, South Carolina. It was a wonderful afternoon meeting your incredible readers. A special shout out to owners Wendy and Olivia for hosting and bookseller extraordinaire @libraryofdallas who reached out to me originally and, it turns out, runs a mean Q & A. It was the perfect day. The store has a few signed copies still left so stop by!

After the event, I stood alone for about five minutes staring at that spectacular tree. Like surely it wanted me to be. And it, too, was perfect. Wishing you all a weekend filled with the magic of small things. 🍁

Despite having just spent the past 7 hours waiting only to have my flight canceled in storms, Newark Airport still may be my new favorite place. Not sure A GOOD MARRIAGE or FRIENDS LIKE THESE have ever been in such good shelf company. Thank you @hudsonbooks! Relatedly, is it possible to die of a Chex Mix and/or Gummy Bear overdose? Asking for a friend. ✨

Don’t worry @litchfieldbooks I’m getting the early flight tomorrow!

I feel like I can sort of get away with posting this as book related because she does mention FRIENDS LIKE THESE. But also it is just the best birthday post ever. ❤️ u @cookieshane — the warmest, most supportive and most brutally honest, only-when-necessary friend. Who also happens to be the most badass entertainment lawyer on the planet. How lucky I am to have you in every corner. ❤️

Happy birthday to the gorgeous genius @kimberlymccreight! Unfortunately, I have no present for her today but she sure had one for me! I finally read her new novel FRIENDS LIKE THESE and could not put it down! Once again, she wrote a page turner where I kept reading into the wee hours. Thank you Kim for always being the most reliable friend — your generosity of spirit, your determination, your authenticity, your honesty, and last but not least, your always giving me a reason to keep reading actual books! I love you so much! Wishing you only blessings for this new circle around the sun!!
