The Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel
Stephen King
Because Bun B once rapped "I need a real street stalker to walk a green mile," I thought for years that "the green mile" was an accepted metaphor for prostitution (in addition to being a bad Stephen King movie)

Axios
Dolores A. McCabe
The first excerpt from Valerie Biden Owens' memoir is live today on Axios. This was by far the most sensitive part of her story, and I was honored by how open she was with me about the night she and Joe learned about the accident. https://www.axios.com/valerie-biden-owens-book-excerpt-abbfc390-a69e-43b5-aee8-bcc6a16a5125.html

Klara and the Sun: A GMA Book Club Pick
Kazuo Ishiguro
Here's an update on mythical-unicorn novel for today. I shared it with a friend last week, who said she gulped it down in a day. "Better than Klara and the Sun," she said. I plan to use her endorsement on the cover but will change the spelling of her name to "Kazuo Ishiguro"
