The Library Laura Podcast

On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our guest is local author Marvin Faulkner. This episode's format is like a mini-book tour event. I get to interview him about his memoir Letter to God and then he shares an excerpt of his book with us! We talk about grief, love and hope during the holidays.

**A note to my sensitive listeners: We do address some tougher topics on this episode, and this may be triggering to some. If you're not in a good place to hear about losing a spouse to cancer throughout the episode, or the brief mention of suicide or drug/alcohol abuse, then I would advise you to skip this episode for now. Take care of yourself!

Purchase Marvin's book from Green Door Bookstore or Amazon.

Visit Marvin on instagram @marvin.faulkner, on Facebook. or at his website.

Visit the Podcast at @library.laura, our Facebook page, the bookshop.org shop, or the podcast blog.

Two announcements: I'll be giving away a copy of Marvin's book, Letter to God, on Instagram between now and Sunday, December 20th. The podcast will be taking a Christmas break between now and the end of the year. We'll be back in January with more bookish content and library love! Until then, wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love and literary enthusiasm, our guest is Alexis DeJoy.

On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love and literary enthusiasm, our guest is a local author, Rhonda Carter. She's written two devotional books, including her newest, which is a very timely little book (since Advent starts this Sunday, November 29th, 2020!) called "Meditations for Advent through Christmas Carols." Rhonda tells us about what led to her publishing her two books, and we swap book recommendations, especially historical fiction, and Christian authors.

Devin and I met (virtually) several years ago and connected over the fact that we both were in long distance dating relationships before we got married. It was delightful to talk with her about books, reading, and writing today. Devin is also doing a special giveaway of 5 copies of her ebooks on Instagram as part of today's episode.
