Bev's Imaginary Book Club / Bev Cooks

BEWKS, Y’ALL. (<–I’ve already made you insane.) Welcome to another official book club blog post! It’s been a minute. Things look a little, um, different since my last book post.

daffodil in the front yard

Fri….day. Hey. Well, it’s just impossible for me to sit here at my laptop on this eerie Friday morning and pretend to churn out goofy stories about ankle socks or nose hair clippers when the whole world is being flipped upside down like it is. It just feels fake and inappropriate today. I’ve been purposely […]
