@TabathaRosproy @grady_hendrix I loved this!

Finishing a book is so bittersweet! I just finished my latest @grady_hendrix novel and think I am in *actual* despair about waiting until Jan. for his new book release. 😭 If you like the horror/mystery genre, put him on the top of your list!

@MoltenisMarvels @NJB4Change We have the best times! ❤️

Nothing says summer like a 3-hour lunch date with a favorite friend @NJB4Change ❤️
