Went to @lopezbookshop yesterday in search of an anniversary gift for the #nakedhiker. Along the way, I noticed a title on the New Arrivals table by fellow @homebound.publications author Stephen Drew. His memoir, “Into the Thin,” is a favorite. It’s always a joy to see a friend’s title on a bookstore shelf. As for my husband’s gift, swipe through to see what I found for him. What? You don’t think that’s appropriate for a 42nd anniversary? According to Hallmark, recommended gifts for 47 years are garden/plants. I’m just ahead of things.
Always a thrill to receive a good review. This one arrived 3 years after Hiking Naked was launched! Thanks @reviewthisreviews. Also helps to have the appropriate beverage to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the book. Haven’t read it yet? It’s available wherever books are sold. I’m looking forward to reviewing a bunch of new books coming out soon. Read about them in today’s blog at irisgraville.com.
Here’s what I was getting ready for 4 years ago. Right before the baptism and the Senior Lunch, I launched #hikingnaked on #lopezisland. So many fond memories of the book’s warm reception by my community. Thanks @homebound.publications for keeping the memoir in print and @lopezbookshop for keeping it on the shelves. Still available wherever books are sold.
Celebration! @kipgreenthal and I toasted @spiralleadership last night at @vitaswildlydelicious in honor of Ab's selection as a finalist in the @homebound.publications 2021 Poetry Contest! That means Ab's collection, "Walk Deep," will be published by the press next year. I'm looking forward to reading Ab's book as well as that of the Poetry Prize winner, @samdva. Yep, we closed the place down! Thanks for letting us stick around, @bruce.botts.
