Want to Escape to the Hamptons?

This summer, I’m a Spotlight Hamptons magazine “Spotter.” Here’s my first round-up for them with books that take place around the Hamptons! (Expanded version: https://spotlighthamptons.com/for-your-nightstand/)

Have you read any?

Speaking of the Hamptons, the James Lane Post did a big profile of Zibby Media, Blank, and me online and in print! Read here.

And Social Life magazine included Swan Huntley’s I WANT YOU MORE, our Zibby Books title!! Read here.

Speaking of books, have you listened to the audiobook I recorded for my memoir Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature? You’ll learn a LOT about me. And get even more book suggestions.

What I’m Watching

I’m a little late to the party, but am currently obsessed with “Palm Royale” on Apple TV. Have you seen it?

What I’m Wearing

This weekend, I’ll be sporting white jeans, a blue linen shirt and sandals from J. McLaughlin. They’re my sponsor and I am obsessed. It’s basically all I wear now. I’ll never go back. (Photo obviously NOT of me.)

Want to Upgrade?

Could I convince you to become a paid member of my Substack if you aren’t already? Yes, this Substack “Zibby’s Highlights” won a Webby Honor this year!!!!

If you do, I’ll give a personalized book recommendation to anyone who upgrades now through June 1st. And I’ll be very, very thankful. It’s a vote of confidence in what I’m doing here and in the literary world.

Okay, off to do two more podcasts and then spend time with the kids. Have a great weekend! And let me know if you take any of my recommendations. Hope so!

Bye!!
