What a wonderful book signing event tonight with Wade Rouse at Silver Coast Winery! Wade’s latest book, THE BLUFF is a feisty, festive, family drama about money, marriage, power, and all the things we bring to the holiday table besides the turkey. We loved bringing readers together for an evening of books and conversation with such an entertaining and talented author.
A big thank you to Wade and everyone who made the evening so memorable! If you missed tonight’s event, stop by Pelican Bookstore tomorrow and pick up a signed copy of THE BLUFF!

I have never read Verity and didn’t even know the synopsis but of course I had to celebrate my good friend and #1 Hoover fan @susieqreadssc and head to @cinemark with her!

Between these three super fans, I think they all appreciated my reactions to this WILD movie!

I have an opinion on manuscript or letter which I may save for a later date but I want to know. Which team are you!?

🥳 One year! A whole lot of books, wine, questionable opinions, plot twists, inside jokes, and the absolute BEST group of book lovers. 🥳

📚 What started as a book club has become one of our favorite things about Bookworm & Vine... and judging by these photos, we’re pretty sure we’ve built the best book club in town. 📚

♥️ And a very special thank you to Dallas, who has been the heart behind our book club from day one. His love of books is pretty much unmatched (honestly, he probably reads more than the rest of us combined), and he is a big part of what makes our book club so special. ♥️

🥂 Cheers to the one and only Bookworm & Vine Book Club! 🥂

🌟 If you haven't had a chance to sign up yet, we're waiting for ya! We announce our book clubs on our social media and website every month. First calls get the tickets!

An incredibly exciting day at the Belmont Literary Festival — for very surprising reasons! It was so much fun and so well attended and I signed a million books along with my panel members Megan Miranda and Mimi Montgomery. But it was SO incredibly hot! We were all completely melting… As you can probably tell. Still, Look at all these readers! But then… there was a severe weather warning, and the bookstore organized a calm and quick retreat. 😱 The panel was even canceled because it was too dangerous to be outside — but we had so much fun anyway!

Thank you Belmont Bookshop — more excitement than you had even planned! @belmont.litfest @belmont.bookshop

🔪 Thriller Thursday 🔪

One of my favorite things to do is go to author events, but when they’re less than a mile from my backyard?! Even better. 📚🖤

It was such an honor to have @jenniferhillierbooks stop at @parkroadbooksclt on her first-ever book tour, with Charlotte being one of only FIVE stops in the U.S.!

I loved how honest and vulnerable she was about the writing and publishing process. It was so cool to learn that one of the reasons her books really took off during the covid years was because of a recommendation from an account I already love, @things.i.bought.and.liked

She also shared that thriller authors are some of the nicest people you’ll meet because they put all their demons into their books and then get to live their actual lives being nice 😂 and that made SO much sense to me. I’m not saying I don’t know any nice romance authors…but what she said spoke volumes. 😂🔪

It was also so fun being reunited with my bestie @libraryofdallas and getting to hang out with @thelibraryofsydney . 💕

I read Wonderland for the first time this summer, still have a few of Jennifer’s backlist books I want to get to, and I can’t wait to escape back to Seaside in the Pacific Northwest with Heart of Glass. 🌲🌊

📕🛶BOOK REVIEW🛶📕

📚 The Last to Drown
✍️ @noelleihliauthor
📣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5
🛍️ Purchased at @bookwormandvine

This was my fifth book by Noelle W. Ihli, and one thing is clear—she consistently delivers. Every book I’ve read by her has been a solid thriller, and The Last to Drown is no exception.

I wasn’t sure how a thriller set primarily on a river was going to keep me on the edge of my seat, but wow… was I wrong. This book was intense from beginning to end. My heart was pounding through so many scenes, especially when the story unfolded in complete darkness with the characters trapped on a raft( going down the river), desperately trying to outsmart a madman. The suspense in those moments was incredible.

There were also a few elements that pushed the boundaries of reality, with hints of something beyond the ordinary mixed with pure determination. It added an interesting layer to the story without taking away from the tension.

About halfway through, there’s a twist that completely changes your perspective on what’s happening and who the real villain is. I definitely didn’t see it coming.

Overall, this is a fast-paced, heart-pounding thriller that kept me turning the pages. If you’re looking for a quick, suspense-filled read, I highly recommend adding The Last to Drown to your TBR.

QOTD: Would you ever go white water rafting? ( Me: no sir!!!)

OH, WHAT A NIGHT!!! We had the honor of welcoming Lisa Scottoline to the North Carolina coast for the very first time tonight! We are so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this such a special evening.
A HUGE thank you to the iconic Lisa Scottoline for making the trip and spending the evening with our readers. We loved hearing her talk about THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING, her latest novel featuring Julia Pritzker, who finds herself pulled into a shocking murder investigation after her best friend walks in on her grandmother’s murder. Lisa was so hilarious, engaging, and had the entire room hanging on her every word!
If you missed tonight’s event we have signed copies of THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING in stock at Pelican Bookstore!
Thank you, as always, for showing up for our author events and for supporting your local independent bookstore. We couldn’t do nights like this without you!
