Holiday cocktails, November happenings, and a meet-up! 🎉


Hey Reader,🌞

Okay, okay... I am so excited about this:

📅 We’re doing a Meet & Greet — and you’re invited!

🗓️ November 22 @ 2pm
📍 Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe (Elizabeth Street location)
Let’s sip, snack, and chat about all things books, Key West, and life in paradise!

🍰 I’ll grab a slice of pie (or two) and hang out in the garden area — I’d love to meet you in person.


Who's coming?? Hit reply and let me know so I can give Kermit’s a heads up. I don’t want to overwhelm them with a spontaneous flash mob of book lovers and trivia champs 😄


Now, let’s talk about all the things we got into this week…


🛳️ Monday: The Outer Mole

We kicked off the week with some military history —
Did you know the story behind The Outer Mole? From Navy origins to cruise ship returns, this pier has seen it all.
