Marilynne Robinson has written a prequel to Gilead, Lila. She is interviewed by Lynn Neary on NPR's Morning Edition: http://www.npr.org/2014/10/08/3543073...

I heard an interview with Oliver Jeffers on NPR's All Things Considered --http://www.npr.org/2014/10/13/3548116... -- on his new alphabet book, Once Upon an Alphabet: Short Stories for All the Letters. Each letter gets its own story! It sounds delightful! I hope you will all agree.

Sad interview. One of his statements rung so true to me after my father's death in August of 2013 from cancer. He said if someone you love has cancer, it's like they're on another planet. How true.

Did anyone enjoy The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton? Apparently the author has a new book out called The Muse.

" In her latest novel, “The Muse,” she explores how we struggle with ambition, identity and desire through the fictional stories of two women—one in 1960s London, the other 30 years earlier on the edge of the Spanish Revolution—and how their lives intersect in a single mysterious painting. "
