Okay readers, who’s read either of these? Which one should I pick up first? . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookphotography #fashionvictim #behindhereyes #bookofthemonth #instareads #igreads

Book mail truly in the best mail and these four have arrived in the past couple weeks. See any favorites in there? . . I’m hosting our first-ever book club for our residents tonight and Every Note Played is our selection. I’m super excited to dive into this discussion with a bunch of rehab physicians-in-training. . . The Winter Sister is an ARC and next on my list! Can’t wait to read this one. . . A Place For Us just might be my top book of the year—see my review a few days back for the gushing. . . Nine Perfect Strangers was classic Liane Moriarty and I have no regrets about my binge-read. . . . . . . #everynoteplayed #thewintersister #aplaceforus #nineperfectstrangers #bookmail #bookstack #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerd #bookphotography

Are you a TRUE Liane Moriarty fan? I mean more than just “I loved Big Little Lies on HBO.” If you’ve read and enjoyed several of her other novels, then you will LOVE this book. I fell in love with her writing several years ago thanks to my IRL book club reading What Alice Forgot, and I subsequently devoured all her novels as soon as I could get my hands on them. I adore her writing style with her quirky, neurotic, relatable characters and the way she explores both the light and the dark of life while leading the reader through an expertly drawn plot. . . Nine Perfect Strangers starts with nine guests showing up at a remote health spa where things start getting weird pretty quickly. Moriarty jumps between multiple points of view throughout the novel to explore each character’s reason for being there and what they learn about themselves and the world during the experience. This really is not a suspense or a thriller as some have called it—it’s character-driven contemporary fiction. True to form, she made me chuckle, she made me tear up, and she made me reflect on my own experiences as a human being. . . My take: if you love her books you will love this one. . . If you’ve read it, what did you think? If not, is it on your list? . . . #lianemoriarty #nineperfectstrangers #bookofthemonth #instaread #instareading #bookphotography #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerd

Any writers out there? I know many of us are readers, but I’m guessing a lot of us write, too. My dear friend gifted me this book for my birthday and I SO appreciated the support because writing CAN feel like a dangerous activity! . . If you write, what do you write? Do you blog, journal, write essays or stories or novels? And if you write, do you have any favorite books on writing? . . . As for me, I’m working on finding a publisher for my novel (recently signed with a literary agent!) and I’ve published several short pieces of fiction and nonfiction. Some of my favorite craft books include On Writing by Stephen King and Still Writing by Dani Shapiro. I’m enjoying this one already—little nuggets of encouragement to find your writing voice and push through doubt. . . . . . . #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookphotography #qotd

Flashback to when I was a first year med student in Chicago. My husband and I were making the loooooong drive from Chicago to Salt Lake City and we picked up an audiobook copy of this baby. The story— of the 1893 world fair in Chicago intertwined with the story of one of the first serial killers in America — completely captured our attention and we ended up making the drive in one very long day (it’s a 20 hour drive, folks!). All these years later, we still talk about that trip. . . . . Are you an audiobook listener on road trips? . . . #thedevilinthewhitecity #eriklarson #historicalfiction #audiobook #bookphotography #paperback #bibliophile #bookstagram

I was gifted these lovely Penguin clothbound editions of the Bronte sisters’ novels for my recent birthday. I have to admit, I’ve only read Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. I don’t even know what the other two are about! Which ones have you read? I’m going to be super impressed if someone has read all four. . . . . . #brontesisters #penguinclothboundclassics #bookcollector #bookphotography #bookstagram #instareads #classicbooks
