A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe.

Last Friday evening, a copy of Emma Straub’s MODERN LOVERS arrived at the house. As Tom and the boys all had plans for Saturday, I spent the day in a perfect way: I grabbed MODERN LOVERS as soon as I woke up and started reading. I migrated from my bed to the couch to the patio to my pool chair, reading the entire time. I love the opportunity to read a book from start to finish, uninterrupted, as I did with this one. I felt like I spent the day with the characters. I read Emma’s last book, THE VACATIONERS, the same way and remember the joy of the experience of reading it as much as the book itself.
Early June 2016The past few weeks have truly made me feel like a kid again --- and not just because the warmer weather has me eating popsicles like they're going out of style. The beginning of June means the start of a new season of Potter-mania as readers start to gear up for the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD. I feel like a proud parent seeing all of you identify with your favorite houses --- yes, even you Slytherins. Several of our Teen Board Members are planning on taking bookish vacations in Hogwarts this summer, which you can learn more about in our June Report from the Teen Board. I'll have more information on how you can celebrate in our next newsletter, but don't worry, there are plenty of other fun bookish events coming up!
