    Send us a textHere we go! Jen and Kim give a very thorough review of this book.The Southern Book Club' Guide to Slaying VampiresFrom Amazon Description:Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn't felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in.  Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia's life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won't surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.Twisted Teachers Podcast wants to hear from you!Leave us a voice message! https://www.speakpipe.com/TwistedTeachersLINKTREE :https://linktr.ee/twistedteacherContact us via email: Twistedteachers2@gmail.comInstagram: @twisted__teacher; @inked_educator68; @escaping_educationTik Tok: @inkededucator @escape_educationFacebook: @TwistedTeacherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifersquireroberts

I often get asked if I miss teaching. Such a loaded question and the answer is yes and no.I could go into a long list of things I don't miss but you have likely heard most of them before. My exit came when I was physically assaulted by a student, but it definitely wasn't the only reason.But what I do miss is the laughter I shared with fellow teachers, the stories that you simply could not make up if you tried, the kids I had grown close to, and the bond that is created among teammates who have been in the trenches together.But I found my life in sales to be so similar. The stories we share and struggles we experience gave me that same feeling that I was missing when I left the classroom. No one really understands what your day to day is unless they are going through it with you. The is an unspoken understanding between teachers and sales reps that says, "I'm right there with you and we will laugh about this later." Trust and support from your team and leadership is everything.So, yes I miss it. But, no I am not going back. https://www.linkedin.com/in/maggie-carmain123/Twisted Teachers Podcast wants to hear from you!Leave us a voice message! https://www.speakpipe.com/TwistedTeachersWebsite-Twistedteacherspodcast.comLINKTREE :https://linktr.ee/twistedteacherContact us via email: Twistedteachers2@gmail.comInstagram: @twisted__teacher; @inked_educator68; @escaping_educationTik Tok: @inkededucator @escape_educationFacebook: @TwistedTeacherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifersquireroberts
