📚 BOOK TOUR 📚

Thank you to author Melissa Ferguson , publisher , and marketing company for the gift copy of Meet Me in the Margins.

💬 Have you read Meet Me in the Margins? Let me know in the comments!

📖 Meet Me in the Margins is one of my very favorite books by Melissa Ferguson (I’ve read it three times since it was released) and now this beloved book has been made into a movie!

I’m so excited for you all to see this film! I was able to watch an early screener and it’s SO cute! Great American Family did such a wonderful job adapting this book for film! It’s a workplace romance set in the publishing world featuring a hidden book room, secret editor, an aspiring writer, and “You’ve Got Mail” vibes!

🎥 About the Movie

- Starring Merritt Patterson and Liam McIntyre
- Streams on Great American Pure Flix on June 11, 2026
- Premieres on Great American Family and GFAM+ on June 13, 2026

Based on the beloved novel by bestselling author Melissa Ferguson, Meet Me in the Margins follows a hopeful writer whose dreams of becoming a novelist feel increasingly out of reach – until a mysterious editor begins leaving notes in the margins of her manuscript. As the anonymous feedback challenges, encourages, and transforms her work, she begins to discover that the story unfolding off the page may be the one her heart has been waiting to write.

💐 ARC REVIEW 💐

Thank you to and for the copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

You guys! I’ve been holding onto this review for a long time because I wanted to post it closer to release day. This book is my new favorite from the queen of heartfelt romance, Courtney Walsh! She is truly in a league of her own. Brighter Than Before has all the charm and wit, and a heart-tugging plot. I’m already ready for a reread via audiobook 🙌🏻

Brighter Than Before releases Tuesday, June 9th wherever books are sold. Preorder it or request it at your library today!

🦋 COVER REVEAL 🦋

I think Everlasting Love is probably my most anticipated sequel. I ADORED the first book, Neverending Mercy (I’m currently listening to the audiobook in preparation for Everlasting Love’s release 🙌🏻). Neverending Mercy is an absolutely beautiful story of forgiveness, redemption and love. It will take you through the full spectrum of emotions and I highly recommend you read it today!

Everlasting Love is the sequel, and I’m so excited to read it! I’ve got my tissues ready, because I know this book will make me cry 😭 I can’t wait to read Kip and Nora’s story! And just look at this cover! 😍

Everlasting Love releases on August 25th, but you can preorder it today on Amazon for the preorder price of $3.99 (it will be $6.99 normally).

I’m so excited to feature the first of two books that Elle Christopher sent me several months ago! I’ve had these feature posts in Canva for months and I honestly thought I’d already shared them. I’m so glad I double checked before deleting because I realized I had finished them and never actually posted them in all this time! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m so sorry, Elle!

Where Loyalty Lies is the first in the Tunbridge series. This series of standalone romances is set in the rural lake town of Tunbridge, Georgia. Where Loyalty Lies is an emotional, small-town romance and I’m so excited to start reading it this week! I’ll post a review as soon as I’m finished. There are five books in the series so far, and they are all available in Kindle Unlimited!

I adored this book! Thank you so much for sending me this fun bookmail! The Enemies’ Island, as well as The Best Friends’ Playlist, are MUST READS! Have you read them yet?!

🏝️The Enemies’ Island Blurb: 🏝️

I’ve just been selected to be on the reality game show of my dreams, but there’s a catch—my teammate is the man of my nightmares.

Colton Downing—senator’s son, golden boy, and the thorn in my side since high school—has just decided to join me as a contestant on Sunsets and Sabotage—my favorite show. Not his, mine. It’s clear from the get-go that he cares little for the game show and even less about the prize money, which I’m desperate to win. No, for Colton, his sole object in being my partner is just to vex me.

At least, that’s what I thought—but everything changes when we get to Sabotage Island.

Between the grueling competitions, savage competitors, and constant hunger, I quickly learn that Colton has as much to lose in this game as I do, and if we stand a chance of beating the other teams and gaining America’s votes, we’ll need to work together to pull off our crazy plan.

But playing nice with Colton is not something I’m prepared for, especially when his soft glances and heroic actions aren’t just changing the game, they’re melting me like butter on a biscuit.

With each day that passes on the Island, I’m more certain of one thing: winning the show, with my heart intact, will be the greatest challenge of all.

The Enemies’ Island is an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy filled with adventure, playful banter, endearing characters, and swoony moments that will make your heart squeal with happiness! This is a clean romance book with all the chemistry and without any language or explicit scenes (kissing only).
