Greetings, book-eaters and treat-lovers! Before I launched this newsletter a little over a year ago, I came up with two months’ worth of themes. I planned ahead because I wanted to avoid this: “Oh shit, it’s Monday night and I have no idea what this week’s newsletter is going to be about!”
This is a relief to read, Laura. I've run into that a few times too. The other thing that happens is that I have a list of themes/subjects but when the day arrives, something else wants to be said. I think your backlist is terrific.
I love all your newsletters, especially this one! Real Life is a book I loved and can't wait to re-read and Tomboyland has been on my list for ages. Now I know I must pick it up. Hope you are able to make it to Broadside Bookshop (I work there!) on Saturday! We are so blessed to have so many amazing bookstores in the Valley!
I love that you gave yourself permission, Laura -- and this was such a great issue, so you made the right call! Melissa Faliveno is from the small town I live in (I was born and raised in Madison but live in a suburb now), but I'm sorry to admit I still haven't read Tomboyland. (I'm putting it on hold right now to remedy that!)
I more often than not wake up on a Saturday morning and I have no idea what I'm going to write about. Thankfully, I don't have to bake anything to go with my books, or I'd be totally lost. The cake looks yummy and I hadn't heard of a couple of these books before. Thanks for the recommendations.
