From @RonCharles @washingtonpost Book Club newsletter: Irish novelist Colm Tóibín won the Rathbones Folio Prize for “The Magician.” I am so glad. I loved this book, and it so deserves this attention and more.

Forever...

Judy Blume
MegMeg

Love this @NYTimes ⁦@LizEgan⁩ on Judy Blume. I’m a little older — late boomer rather than gen x so I came to the younger reader books as a mom (and loved them), but Forever and Are You There God shaped me. https://t.co/0fqt4I10eh

Oh William!

Elizabeth Strout
MegMeg

Just finished @LizStrout’s “Oh William!”!* Oh, I think this is my favorite of hers except maybe Amy and Isabelle — which was such a treat as I didn’t have expectations. Coming from @randomhouse Oct. 19. #FridayReads *punctuation point of order for @BCDreyer: Is this correct? https://t.co/GlSTWHCcuj

Three Summers

Margarita Liberaki
MegMeg

I love reading books from other cultures, although it does always leave me wishing I could read in the original language. This reprint, Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki, sounds fantastic. Thanks to @marthaannetoll and @NPR for calling it out. #amreading https://www.npr.org/2019/07/12/740477556/three-sisters-come-of-age-dreamily-in-three-summers

I Would Meet You Anywhere: A Memoir

Susan Kiyo Ito
MegMeg

Her memoir — about finding and meeting her birth mother in her early twenties, but also so much more — is very moving, and much deserving of many awards.
