Books and Beverages: The Shoppe

IMG_1666

My online pal, Jamie from Books and Beverages, has opened her shop and let me tell you—I am smitten.

There is a little something for everyone in The Shoppe. She has bookmarks, stickers, iPad covers, and (I think this might be my favorite) a book blogger planner (you know how I love my planners).

Something else I love about her shop is the love of Tolkien and Lewis that shines through (I mean, they are the masters are they not?)

I love the mini square bookmarks. They are perfect.

I’m really excited about the blog planner. It’s the perfect size to drop in my bag (or the pocket in the back of my everyday moleskine planner), yet still has everything needed. There are six calendar pages at the start that you can write in the month and the days. The post checklists and weekly note pages are my favorite—I’m always writing this in my everyday planner, and it tends to take up a lot of room, so I’m looking forward to being able to use the blog planner. There are also pages in the back included for “books I’ve read” and “quotes to remember”. There’s a lot of punch packed into this little book!

If you haven’t finished Christmas shopping, Jamie’s shop is the perfect place to grab your bookish friend a little something (or finish your stocking stuffers!)

And Jamie is awesome enough to give away a set of (my favorite) Inkling bookmarks! Winner will be announced next week!

    Thanks for the giveaway! As a book blogger, I of course love the book blogger planner, but I also love all the artistic interpretations of the classics into Ipad covers, bookmarks and postcards!

I'm excited to join in the cover reveal for Karabo I'm excited to join in the cover reveal for Karabos by @lyndseylewellen, releasing from @enclavepublishing  in October 2026! The first book in The Timebound Duology, a YA fantasy, is available to preorder in hardcover today.

This is one of my most anticipated reads for 2026! 

Book Blurb: When sixteen-year-old homeschooled entomologist Winslet Nubek enters the elite, insect-hunting Tournament of Scarabs to save her family from ruin, she expects danger and magic bugs. Not time travel. Paired with a resentful cartographer, Rafe, who doubts her every move, Winslet accidentally triggers a forbidden time scarab and launches them both into volatile jumps through an ancient world.

As they struggle to hide their condition and stay in the competition, their time slips reveal buried truths about the scarabs—and the lies their glittering society is built on. With sinister forces closing in, Winslet and Rafe must capture legendary insects and expose the truth before the past bleeds into the present and destroys them both.

10.07 AM - arrive at the coffee shop (where I actually got a parking spot AND a seat at my favorite table!) 

11.08 AM - finally get some coffee. The line was long and I kept waiting for it to get shorter.

1.56 PM - trying not to panic because there’s still so much I want to get done and the coffee shop closing in a little over an hour.

2.53 PM - closing time. Time to pack up and leave. I’m also getting hungry, so place a Chick-fil-A order.

3.26 PM - lunch acquired. 

3.48 PM - it just so happens that the Chick-fil-A shares a parking lot with a Barnes and Noble. I think some wandering must be had (and I somehow walked out without buying anything!) 

5.01 PM - home again home again. A little reading in the office before dinner.
Y’all I have my edits back for the M*rder Myster Y’all I have my edits back for the M*rder Mystery (🎉), and I still don’t know where this Neely Spencer chapter is going (you know, the one I said I was going to post last week... or was it the week before?)

Instead of promising x number of chapters this month (and the next month), I’m going to promise that I’ll post the chapters as soon as I’m finished writing them. This means, there could be 4 chapters, or there could be 1 chapter (I’m shooting for the 4 ...) The M*rder Mystery has to be my main priority right now, but I’m hoping that I’ll have time for the whimsy (Neely Spencer is the whimsy). Because we call need a little more whimsy in our lives, right? 

Sorry to disappoint anyone — I’m writing as fast as I can. Thank you so much for sticking with me! You guys are the best! And if you haven’t started reading Atlas of Neely Spencer, now is the perfect time to get caught up!
