One of my favorite authors is Emily Henry, and her books take up a prominent spot on my bookshelf – as you can see in the picture! She does a great job highlighting characters taking vacations of their own, transporting the reader to fun new locations. These are some of my favorite books to bring with me as a “beach read,” and I would highly recommend them. I actually brought all three books with me to Cabo last year!
Fortunately for all of us, her new novel, Funny Story, comes out tomorrow. Not only do I expect this book to spotlight northern Michigan, but I am super excited to celebrate this evening at Book + Bottle’s midnight release party in St. Pete. What a great way to support and #shoplocal at a local bookstore!
If you didn’t get tickets (I barely managed to), not to fret – there are tons of options available for this book release celebration, with most of the events taking place tomorrow. You can see all of them here, but for my fellow Florida friends, these are the bookstores to check out:
- Barnes & Noble, Plaza Venezia
- Barnes & Noble, Colonial Orlando
- Bodacious Bookstore and Cafe
- Book + Bottle
- Books-A-Million, Destin
- Books-A-Million, Gainesville

- Murder on the Beach/Bookwise Boca
- San Marco Bookstore
- Sunshine Book Co.

Happy reading, y’all! I can’t wait to bring this book with me to San Diego for my next trip – more on that soon. 😉
