On Tuesday night, I had such a fun evening at the screening of “The Last Thing He Told Me”. We saw one episode, and there was a panel afterwards with Laura Dave, Jennifer Garner, Josh Singer (who is Laura’s husband; he won an Oscar for writing Spotlight), and Lauren Neustadter from Hello Sunshine. I loved the book (it was a Bookreporter.com Bets On selection), and it really feels like there was a dream team on the adaptation. I am looking forward to seeing more episodes! It airs on Apple TV+, with the first two episodes kicking off tonight.

I have been juggling two books this week --- and I am enjoying both immensely.

The first is HOMECOMING by Kate Morton, which is now in stores. I am about 100 pages in, and I am completely swept up in the story. I interviewed Kate years ago, and she told me that place is always the thing that she imagines first when she is writing a book. And once again, she writes vividly about it in this book. As the pandemic started, she headed from London to Australia with her husband and three boys. They had planned a vacation there, but once they arrived, they quarantined for two weeks and decided to stay there, living on a small farm. She immediately felt drawn to a new story just from being in this place.
