The Woman in Me by Britney Spears published this week

It's anticipated to be the best selling memoir of all time. I listened to the audio on publication day and, while I'm still forming my final reflections, Britney's heart comes through loud and clear. Watch for my review on Instagram and do not miss Britney's story.

Check out this Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade

Cooler weather has me dreaming of "warmer" cocktails. This blackberry bourbon lemonade is equal parts sweet and warming. I've also developed a recent love for Kirkland organic lemonade, making this recipe absolutely delicious.

Lessons in Chemistry wows!

The first three episodes of Lessons in Chemistry are available on AppleTV+ and I'm all in!

Every bookworm's biggest fear of a screen adaptation is that it won't live up to the book.

While condensed for time, the meaning, heart, and sharp wit is all still there. They've followed the book closely in these first three episodes.

Don't have AppleTV+? They have some free trial options!

If you've recently purchased a new Apple device (hello, me in June after sacrificing my phone to the ocean), you may be eligible for three FREE months of AppleTV+.

Check your Apple settings to see if you're eligible.

Alternatively, everyone is welcome to try it free for seven days!

An update on book ornaments!

A cautious concern about Books-A-Trillion

I want to begin this segment with a disclaimer that I am not here to tell anyone where they should or should not get their reading material, but rather be aware.

I've recently been bombarded with Facebook ads for this new platform called Books-A-Trillion.

They boast "unlimited reading at a fraction of the cost," with a one-time $50 lifetime membership fee. They advertise new, best-selling books available for instant download onto your Kindle or email.

After a deep dive chat with my book club and accompanying internet sleuthing, it looks to be a Limewire-like platform for books. All members can upload digital files for others to download.

To me, this does not sound like book-swapping. This sounds like piracy.

Not to mention dangerous to the consumer by downloading unsecure links.

I haven't found any information that indicates authors and publishers are being compensated for their work.

This is a good reminder to myself that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I predict this company will get itself into hot water sooner than later.

What do you think?
