Annabelle’s Guest House!

Good morning, chic readers! We hope you had an amazing weekend! I had some of the most fun four days ever as one of the celebrity guests at the Wilmington, NC Azalea Festival, celebrating the launch week of my new novel, Lies and Other Acts of Love. Let me tell you, these people party in style. (Check out some of my favorite photos below!)

Today, I’m in the gorgeous town of Southern Pines, NC, and will be signing at The Country Bookshop at 5pm. If you’re in the area, I’d love it if you’d come say hi!

In Lies and Other Acts of Love, Annabelle, one of the protagonists, and her husband Ben camp out in his parents’ gorgeous guest house for a while after they move back to Salisbury, NC. (My hometown and where Mom and Dad still live!)

The guest house is so gorgeous that Annabelle proclaims she could live there comfortably for the rest of her life.

When this beautiful space caught our eye, we couldn’t help but imagine it to be similar to where Annabelle and Ben were living.

Lovely and luxurious, this is just the kind of place where we would love to be guests!

The space feels homey yet streamlined, which we absolutely love.

And well-placed planks on the walls and ceilings add charm in droves.

Just like in Lies and Other Acts of Love, this fabulous guest house comes with its very own pool view, perfect for catching some rays on summer days.

If you haven’t picked up your copy of Lies and Other Acts of Love, today is the LAST day to enter to win our $1,000 Shop Design Chic gift card! Just send proof of purchase to [email protected] It’s still only $8.82 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Or purchase from your local bookstore or Indiebound to get two entries! We’ll announce our winner tomorrow!

Cozy Reading Nooks!

Ralph Lauren’s Home via Architectural Digest

Bookstores are some of my favorite places in the whole world. And that’s a very good thing since the Dear Carolina tour has left me visiting quite a few of them! I particularly love the independent ones, with the cozy rooms and cute corners for reading.

Over the past few weeks, I have visited some old loves and some new favorites. The Literary Bookpost in Salisbury, NC and McIntyre’s in Pittsboro, NC have long been two of the tops on my list. But now I’ve added Scuppernong in Greensboro, NC, The Corner Bookstore in Winder, GA, Avid Books in Athens, GA and FoxTale Books in Woodstock, GA to that list, not only because their people are so friendly and charming but also because their stores are so cute! Anyone would want to spend an afternoon in any one of them!
