July/August Discussion Post for Finding Gene Kelly + Event Reminder
[ID: A pink book cover with an illustration of a man in a vest and a woman in a black dress gazing at each other under a pink umbrella. The book sits on a gray wooden floor surrounded by fake greenery and lined on either side by a bright pink peony. A pink flowery teapot and cup sit up top with scrabble tiles filling the cup. More files spell out “book club” to the right with a cherry blossom shaped golden hair pin.]
It’s time to discuss the #ChronicallyIconicBookClub’s latest read FINDING GENE KELLY by Torie Jean!
The book club will have a private discussion via Instagram group chat to discuss the book starting today in a leisurely fashion until next week. If you would like to join that IG group let me know in the comments below or on Instagram!
[ID: A graphic with an off white background and a gold frame with pink flowers on either side. The top text says Chronically Iconic Book Club Presents with a logo of an open book and a spoon. The middle text says an author q&a on IG Live with Torie Jean, August 12 at 2:30 EST. Join us on @libraryofdreaming and submit your questions now. In the center is a photo of a reddish blonde white woman smiling in a white shirt. The right photo is an illustrated book cover of a man and a woman kissing under an umbrella.]
Don’t forget we also have an Instagram Live interview TOMORROW August 12th at 11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST on @LibraryOfDreaming’s account with the wonderful Torie Jean to discuss all things FINDING GENE KELLY! If you have any questions for Torie please comment below or send me a DM on Instagram!
I’m so excited to brush off my rusty interview skills and learn more about Torie’s writing journey, her experience in Paris, and the endometriosis representation in her book! I hope to “see” you all there tomorrow! (I will also post the live on my account here when it’s over so you can watch it later!)
