A newly discovered trove of William Faulkner’s writings and illustrated letters, the best thing since his long-lost only children’s book.
Oh my stars, this is exciting!

Book Recommendations?
I realized the other night that it has been a good long while since I read a book that really captivated me. That’s depressing. I love reading. It was the friend I vented to in high school when I hated my life, and is now the fun girlfriend I like to have cocktails with.
What happened to us reading? Why don’t you come around any more? Is it something I said?!
Even though I love reading, in my experience it isn’t always easy to find a book you have a hard time putting down. Or that keeps you up longer than you should. Or that takes precedence over everything else. But when you find those books, it’s like you wish they’d never end and, when they do, it’s disappointing in a satisfying way. (If that makes sense.)
Over the last year, the great books that captured my attention include:
- A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
- Arcadia by Lauren Groff (love this author)
- I stared at the ceiling for 10 minutes, trying to remember another book I’ve read in the past year that I loved, and nothing came to mind.
That’s pathetic. Okay, so I’ve read two good books in the last year and countless bad books. Which means I’m due for a really good book.
Open to fiction AND nonfiction, (but I prefer literary fiction and humorous nonfiction), and would love to hear your suggestions!
Reading is sexy.
Joy of Reading
I found these photos by photographer Joel Robinson to be so interesting and fun.
They’re all about the whimsy of books and trying to capture what you feel when you’re reading.
He has an Etsy shop and I’m thinking of investing, plus the prints are super inexpensive!
I selfishly wish he wasn’t in each and every photo, but I still think they’re really beautiful.
