@ebrandom *The Dutch House* is suuuuuuuch a good book. It was on my "read this now" list from last year. Enjoy, and savor!

Wife and I just finished “These Precious Days” by Ann Patchett last night. This collection of essays is mindblowingly good, and Patchett gives a perfect 10 performance as narrator of the audio book.

While a good portion of the book deals with her friend Sooki’s pancreatic cancer, the story she weaves about friendship and resiliance is a wonderful ride.

Happy that is on the panel for Mothers in Fiction. Her upcoming novel is so mature and wise. Everyone should read it, but parents of adult children especially. @bookstodon

What makes Lara more than content on her Michigan orchard with her loving husband seems dull to her three adult daughters. They are more interested in her brief acting career and her youthful romance with a future major movie star. Lara decides to tell the three of them her whole story–with some omissions. TOM LAKE is lovely, deep, and real in the way that only can write. Coming out July 5. Thank you @librarylovefest @ewgc @bookstodon

Patchett's way to capture the things we say and thoughts that rush through our minds when we think that our time is up, hits the mark. Life can be so trivial.

@VickiRock I got it! I got TOM LAKE! Thrilled out.of.my.mind. is one of my favorite authors. Am I like officially a Book Influencer or some pretentious thing like that? 😂 @librarylovefest thank you so much.

Last week, I tooted about the wonders of secondhand books. This is my latest example. Ann Patchett’s account of her friendship with fellow writer Lucy Grealy is unforgettable: tragic but also life-affirming. I’m sensitive to the Grealy family’s objections to the book; but to me it is a wonderful reminder of the power and value of friendship. A tough read at times - but one that will stay with you.

'We speak of ourselves as being blessed, but what can that mean except that others are not blessed, and that God has picked out a few of us to love more? It is our responsibility to care for one another, to create fairness in the face of unfairness and find equality where none may have existed in the past'

Wow a book hasn’t made me cry like ’s in ages. I was straight up ugly crying over that ending. Who’s read it? Who knows what I mean?

A couple of years ago, a friend suggested that most books I read were written by men. (She was right.) Since then, I have grown to love the work of so many wonderful women writers. A short list:
Tyler And that’s just those from North America!
