Lucky us! We got to record an episode with National Treasure @charlottewoodwriter for SLoB yesterday. We went deep on craft, life, illness, grief and how to make a quiet story “spiky”. Coming soon at Secret Life of Books. #bookstagram #stoneyarddevotional #mynameislucybarton #elizabethstrout #booker

A few of the books we’ve done episodes on or have upcoming episodes about. I really loved James Baldwin “Go Tell It On The Mountain” and “Jane Eyre”— both so different from what I expected. Saw how they changed the course of literature. In their different ways, natch.

Here's a pic of me doing what I do best - chewing people's ears off about books and reading. Please chew my ear off instead: as we head into Christmas what's the most festive dinner or party in literature?
