      <image:title>Blog - Book Signing: Lisa Foley and more…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Last year I had the pleasure of taking meeting Lisa Foley at her book signing for The Midnight Feast. Recently I was speaking with a friend about the restaurant I visited beforehand (um… because they were temporarily closed because of a fire, how sad) and realized I never shared a review. So I have to give a special shout-out to Enso, check out these vibes:</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - Hi, I’m Natalie!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I fell in love with reading at a young age, but during college, I had less time for my hobbies. Recently, I realized just how much I enjoy talking about books and wanted to connect with others who share the same passion. This forum is my space to share books I’ve read, books I want to read—really, anything book-related! If you’re interested in collaborating, buddy reading, joining a book club, or just chatting about books, feel free to reach out! More about me: I’m married, and my husband and I have two children—both avid readers. My husband leans more toward movies, but I love a great film too! In fact, we even have a theater in our basement. When I’m not reading, I enjoy long-distance running and weight training, working out about four days a week. I also have a creative side—I love to crochet and knit, finding it both relaxing and rewarding. Professionally, I have a Master’s Degree in Engineering and work full-time in a career I truly enjoy. Excited to connect with fellow book lovers!</image:caption>
