I want to know less about more people.
Admittedly, I’m partial. In researching and writing my new novel, Another Side of Paradise, I became thoroughly acquainted with Sheilah Graham, a columnist who pioneered gentle gossip even as she was the story, the last love of the very married (sorry, Zelda) F. Scott Fitzgerald. Call Sheilah’s reportage style was a catch-more-flies-with-hon... Read more of this blog post »

| A complicated, fascinating book that deserves to be read more than once. The last two sections were, for me, the best parts. I look forward to discussing with my book club. | |

| Usually, short stories leave me feeling incomplete, but this is a collection of gems, with sharply drawn characters. Also, as a NY transplant but Midwestern native, I was happy to see smart people portrayed from places that weren't the South or the c ...more | |

| Witty and warm, a combo not easy to execute, but Amy Poeppel has succeeded with a snappy novel featuring an original premise: what's it like to relocate a big family from Dallas to Manhattan, and if that's not enough stress, find yourself--through de ...more | |

| Brava to Paula McLain for super research in this compelling story of romance, ambition and wartime courage. Next, I'd like to read Martha Gellhorn's work. What a courageous woman. She should not be forgotten. | |

| This is a long, sprawling family saga that you won't want to see end. Like a game of pachinko, we play the game of life, hoping for a jackpot--or even modest winnings--even when we are aware that the odds may be against us, as they are for members of ...more | |

| Tangerine is moody and mysterious--yet not so mysterious that the plot is impossibly twisty. A quick read, actually. The woman on the cover, btw, is Susie Parker, famous model of yesteryear. | |

“ We'd like to take a look at the adoptable dogs. Please."
"... if you have any thoughts of feeding the dogs, you leave that thought with me."
"This is serious. You can't feed them... You feed them something you think is no big deal ... like a Slim Jim or a Vienna Sausage, and we're cleaning up a shitstorm at two AM."
"Shitstorm," Mark said. " Is that the clinical term, Dr. Peterman?"
" We call it a code brown at the hospital.”

“ I think people should get married at the courthouse without a single person present and no fanfare whatsoever. Then, if the couple makes it to ten years, they should have a big party. The whole shebang, white dress, flowers, cake of their dreams. After ten years they'd deserve it.”

“ ... The group is a wonderful mix of people - a microcosm, I believe, of what's really out there. Listen, Lucy, you do my job for a while and here's what you learn. No one is normal. Everybody struggles with something. Marital problems, depression, codependency, maybe a looming fascination with shoes or leather bags that keeps her working overtime shifts to pay off her debt. Whatever. Stop thinking everyone else has it together. It's not true. Precious few people have life figured out. 'Normal' just isn't normal anymore.”

“I'm getting chocolate. I need you. Come over." She hung up, hoping he would get the message. A binge was coming, get help.
Inside the store, she blew past the small plastic shopping baskets not made for heavy lifting, and wheeled the full-sized grocery cart over to the holiday aisle. One of the wheels dragged like a conscience, pulling the cart halfheartedly in the direction of the fresh produce. The other wheels squealed in protest.”
