Pageturner.Cliffhanger

Celeste Ng‘s second novel Little Fires Everywhere must make for rowdy, riveting bookclub discussions!

Here‘s what I wished I‘d known before I read it: not only is Shaker Heights a real place, author Celeste Ng grew up there!

Have you read this? What did you think?

A book to read with a highlighter.

Mary Oliver‘s sentences have been refined and polished to high gloss - each rich in thought and image. This gives Upstream a heartiness, despite being a slender volume.

For me the two exceptional essays were Swoon and Bird. The first, a riveting account of a stairwell spider, and the second a joyous adoption of an injured seabird.

Can writing be rich? That's what I feel as I read this book. Like I'm indulging in a decadent dessert that I want to savor until the very last bite. #penguinpress #bookofthemonthclub #botm #celesteng #littlefireseverywhere

I'll Drink to That: A Life in Style, with a Twist | Rebecca Paley, Betty Halbreich

"So that‘s how you do it, I thought while exiting my little office. You get on with life by facing it."

Eighty-six year old Betty Halbreich definitely has a life in style with a #twist. I loved this memoir about a strong woman, a legend, and just an all around classy lady.

JessFerg So glad to see fellow wine/spirit/beer aficionados who had similar "twists" today! 8y
