Bookish People
Susan Coll
Congrats to @Susan_Coll on her fun new novel set in an indie bookstore (@PoliticsProse perhaps??), BOOKISH PEOPLE, which is "intentionally screwball, with a lot of manic action and zaniness." Out tomorrow. Sneak peek in this interview: http://workinprogressinprogress.com/2022/08/tbr-bookish-people-by-susan-coll.html… @Harpermusebooks

Early Morning Riser
Katherine Heiny
@miciahbay My definition of "charm" is EARLY MORNING RISER by Katherine Heiny. Or Nancy Mitford, THE PURSUIT OF LOVE/LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE. Or Winnie-the-Pooh (books, not the movie). Or STUART LITTLE.
