“I have always wanted to be a writer. I sometimes joke that I was a writer before I could write because no one played Barbies more intensely than me, and really, what is being a writer if not moving around fake people and bending them to your will?” Crafting full storylines with our dolls is definitely something we have in common with author Erin Sterling (she/her), but she took it to the next level.

After I completed my first novel, I had dreams of a beautiful black book, its ivory pages sewn into the binding, the title embossed in gold leaf, a single red ribbon denoting the place where a reader might pause in their reading, adrift in another world. Perhaps, if I was lucky enough, more than a few readers would love it. Perhaps, in my wildest dreams, Reese Witherspoon would even recommend it to her book club.

Sometimes evil is easy to identify, and that's how we are misled in Rachel Hawkins' latest thriller, THE HEIRESS. Camden McTavish fled the tiny town of Tavistock, North Carolina, where the ancestral family manor, Ashby House, was situated in the midst of beautiful mountains. His wife, Jules, doesn't really know why he left the home where his adopted mother, Ruby, raised him. His family was the wealthiest in the state, and Cam was the recipient of the whole estate when his mother died.

TGIF, my people, and welcome to your weekly installment of Fully Booked! Today, I’m going to give a little round-up of things I’ve read and enjoyed recently. The plan is to do this on a monthly basis, as well as highlight some books I’m looking forward to reading. This marks the fourth week that this newsletter has been alive. That’s, like, basically the lifespan of a cicada. (Maybe? Idk, don’t fact check me on that. I got a B in Bio.) So we’re really doing the damn thing.
