Tomorrow Will Bring Sunday's News (a Philadelphia Story) by Beth Kephart. Sarah: you are such a prolific reader! Reading saves us the way writing saves us.
Thanks for all the great book suggestions Sarah. I just finished a fantastic book. I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. It was originally published in French in 1995 and just now translated. I can't really describe it but it is beautiful and haunting and so very thought provoking. Its a perfect book club read.
Love these suggestions! I recommend Song So Wild and Blue: A Life with the Music of Joni Mitchell by Paul Lisicky. And I just started Heartwood by Amity Gaige. A page-turner!
Thank you - I love a lovely list of recommended reads! I just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah and it was very good. I love historical fiction. I just started The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes, so far I like it. I’m on a fiction kick these days! Xo
Oh, thank you Dina! And I know what you mean about fiction in these gloomy times to lift the spirit. I’m also enjoyed The Colony, by Audrey Magee, and am currently devouring Allegra Goodman’s new novel, Isola ~ but of course I’m a sucker for anything on an island 💙

I just read a summary and am so curious to know more ~ thank you for bringing me to this book that I otherwise would not have found!
......and, thanks to your reading list, Matthew Z's Story of a Poem is next for me!
I hope to finish it today ~ really breathtaking
oh cool Sarah, I just read Virginia Woolf's a Room of One's Own.
Two other books that I love and recently read are by Sherrie Flick from Pittsburgh:
Homing-Instincts of a Rustbelt Feminist (essays) and I Have not Considered Consequenses (short stories)
ooh…I don’t know the work of Sherrie Flick and always love reading the work someone who writes in multiple genres 💕 thanks for the suggestion
