Hi! I'm Tim Ehrenberg and I live on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. I have loved books before I could even talk. This is me on a Christmas morning at 5 years old super excited about my shark book. I get just as excited about new books today! I started "Tim Talks Books" to share that enthusiasm for my favorite reads and as a way to connect with my favorite authors and book people.

​

I am the President of the Nantucket Book Foundation, a nonprofit that presents the Nantucket Book Festival every June, and Marketing, Events, and E-commerce Director for Nantucket Book Partners, Nantucket's two independent bookstores. I co-host the literary podcast Books, Beach, & Beyond with #1 best-selling author and "Queen of the Beach Reads" Elin Hilderbrand. Some of my favorite podcast episodes featured memorable conversations with Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Ina Garten, Ann Patchett, Jenna Bush Hager, and Elizabeth Strout to name just a few. I am also Director of Marketing for the Nantucket Book Foundation and I'm a contributor to N, Nantucket's lifestyle magazine, where I have written a monthly "Need to Read" column of book picks for the last 10 years.
