    Grammy Nominations & Romancing With the Stars: An Interview with Kathy Garver

    Megan's Bookish Life had a blast with narrator, actor, and author, Kathy Garver! Kathy and I talked about her roles in the show Family Affair and the movie Princess Diaries, how she lost out on a Grammy this year to the Dalai Lama, and how she interviewed her celebrity friends for her book, Romancing With the Stars. I also have to say that I now can't stop watching Family Affair, even though it was a show in the late 60's. I can't help myself! It makes me chuckle!!!

    Megan’s Bookish Life has a new summer series: Hot Reader Summer! (Please play the Megan Thee Stallion song to get the vibe.) I was joined by fellow book lover, Haleigh, where we played a brand new TBR game I made up, chatted about Ali Hazelwood’s books, including Deep End, and if audiobooks are our jam or not.  +During Hot Reader Summer episodes, we shout out indie bookstores and what book rec you can buy at the shops! Mine was Scribbles Book Shop, an online signed romance book store. My book recommendation you can buy there is the ongoing series by Aura Hayes and the first book I bought from Scribbles was Loving A Vampire is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes. LOVED that book and it was SIGNED! Haleigh shouted out The Crafty Bookstore which is a brick and mortar store in Bloomington, Indiana (they are also online!)
