Itsbooktalk & More is the type of newsletter I’d love to receive in my inbox. Weekly posts are packed with curated recommendations, book reviews, links I love, ideas, tips and thoughts on our reading lives. There is also a robust, comment filled weekly thread where hundreds of readers share the books they’re reading, shows they’re loving, and just have fun chatting. It’s a great place to hang out each week! I also love a list, so you’ll find a variety of book and reading related lists, from the general to the niche.
Free Subscribers have occasional access to…
Friday Threads discussion post. These threads are a great way to engage with a community of readers, get recommendations for books, tv shows, etc and discuss our reading lives. This is also the place to find out early what I’ve been reading

About Me
I live in Columbus, Ohio with my husband and dog. I’m a mom of two grown sons and I’ve been talking about books and reading on the internet since 2016. I truly love talking about books! I was a creator and co-host of the Book Talk, Etc podcast for 3 years. I love to research books, go to the movies, walk, bike ride, and spend time at the lake with friends and family. I also enjoy a cold glass of Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio while reading in my favorite chair with my dog beside me:) I read widely, but especially enjoy mysteries/thrillers, literary fiction, nonfiction & memoir, contemporary and historical fiction. My favorite book of all time is A Little Life by Hanya Yanigahara.
