8.17.16 - Save Time & Be More Productive with Workflows

/

Want to save time? Find yourself constantly scrambling and forgetting things?

Workflows have changed the way I run my business and my life. 

I wrote a post for RT Book Reviews on how my team and I do it. I hope it helps you add some structure to your day!

Hello, chickens!

It's me, JT! How's your neck of the woods? I've been in Colorado this week, visiting my family and enjoying the big, blue sky out here (not to mention winning some golf money off of my dad's group—mwahaha!). Thanks to everyone who came to Tattered Cover for the signing this week—I always enjoy catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones. You guys are the best.

Oh, and we're taking a family road trip this week. Yep, you read that right. Me, parents, and siblings are loading up to visit Mt. Rushmore.

Wish us luck.

And be on the lookout for photos on Facebook and Instagram!

Anyway...

 

Here's what happened on the Internets this week:

I am a book nerd, and I love tea. Therefore, I love adorable book & tea accessories. BookBub compiled a list of 17 kitschy items that'd be great stocking stuffers for anyone on your list who loves to lose themselves in a great story while sipping a warm beverage.


 

I know y'all like finding new recipes as much as I do. This week Amy discovered (and loved!) this apple cider vinegar coleslaw recipe. Light and refreshing, this is the slaw to serve to your mayo-averse friends and goes great with bbq chicken.


 

It's no secret that I adore the brilliant Margaret Atwood—I even got to interview her for my TV show, A Word on Words! I was delighted to connect with her over our shared childhoods growing up in the wild—she in Eastern Canada, and me in the Colorado. The Wall Street Journal went a bit deeper into Atwood's childhood, and I grew even more fascinated. *Note: a WSJ login is needed to access the full article.


 

"This is why you shouldn't check email outside of work"—YES. I loved from The Daily Mail. Seriously, let's all agree to shut off our email at 6 p.m., shall we?


 

"To a writer, a body of work is a taunt." An interesting assertion in the New York Times Book Review. Fellow writers, do you agree?

 

And closer to home:

Darlings. The NO ONE KNOWS paperback is available for pre-order (!!!), and I've got to tell you, I love this gorgeous cover. Take note, paperback lovers: this will be in stores November 1. 

That's it from me! Y'all have a good week, hug your kitties, wear your sunscreen, and we'll talk again soon!

xo,
JT

8.11.16 - Waiting for the NO ONE KNOWS paperback? Check out this brilliant cover . . .

Y'all. I had to take a second to share this with you—the cover for the NO ONE KNOWS trade paperback!!! Isn't it pretty? I love the orange and black. It's the perfect accompaniment to a fall watching UT football, right?

If you've been waiting for the paperback, now's your chance to pre-order! It comes out November 1, so it can be an early Christmas present to yourself.

Hi, Guys!
 

Amy here. How was your week? Mine was a wee bit crazy, but you know what I discovered? There are such things as cookie delivery services. 

Let that sink in.

If you're running short on time or don't have all the ingredients in your pantry, yet want to show the love to someone you care about, you can order straight-from-the-oven cookies to be delivered to that someone. As someone who was a recipient of said cookies (I'm looking at you, Jake's Bakes in Nashville), they're a small little something that made my day. 

Just a thought the next time you want to feed your friend's soul with warm, gooey goodness.

Anyway!

Here's what happened on the Internets this week:

For something a little different to beat the heat, I'm eying this sweet ginger lemonade. Sounds intriguing, no?

Can you teach your brain to ignore things? 🤔

Do you like Romantic Suspense? Then you're going to LOVE this giveaway! Spoiler alert: a Kindle Fire is up for grabs!

 

And happy release week to our friend, the brilliant Catherine Coulter! Catherine's new Savich & Sherlock novel, INSIDIOUS, hits shelves this week, and she's celebrating with this contest.

 

Tattered Cover Book Signing

FYI, Denver peeps: JT's going to be signing books at Tattered Cover–Aspen Grove this Thursday night at 7. Go! Have fun! Get all the books!


 

And in the newly released August News, we shared this recipe for super-easy Cajun Roasted Chicken (this is perfect for those busy school nights coming up). Wanna get awesome recipes like this in your inbox every month? Sign up for JT's email list. There's a free ebook for you, too!

 

That's it from me, friends. Give someone some cookies, stay cool, and I'll talk to you soon!

Cordially yours,
Assistant Amy
