Demon Coppehead! Demon Copperhead! Demon Copperhead! It is worth every bit of praise and admiration it’s getting. Also the novel Foster by Irish author Claire Keegan is remarkable.

My favorite romance of the fall, FRIENDS DON'T FALL IN LOVE, by Erin Hahn, comes out today and it's MAGNIFICENT! Swoony and heartswoopy, with a country music backdrop and a Chicks-style heroine who is over the misogyny of country music. You need it!

You MUST be in a good mental place before starting, but Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy was intense and beautiful

I just finished North Woods. It was good as I was reading, but man, the last 10 pages were simply amazing. Still thinking about them. Recommend!!

I LOVED North Woods- I’m reminded of parts of it almost daily. Thank you for the recommendation.

The best book I read this year BY FAR is Run Toward the Danger by Sarah Polley. A memoir collection of essais. Her writing is just astonishingly good, I was mesmerized. It moved me so much that I cried several times while reading.

Dannon Strawberry Yogurt Bars w. Carob was likely the only store-bought sweet I was allowed to have as a kid. Core memory!

Dept of Speculation by Jenny Offill. I did not leave my seat from start to finish. I found it luminous, full of love, loss, longing and hope.
