I finally read GHOSTS by @dollyalderton this weekend and it was a revelation—totally lived up to the hype. One of those novels that I wanted to simultaneously tear through and savor. Funny, honest, poignant, incisive. Just a total delight. This page in particular made me cackle. https://t.co/nXxxPC3QPD

My Queen!! I adore @karintanabe, and A WOMAN OF INTELLIGENCE, which I cannot recommend highly enough. If you need convincing, please know that the novel opens with this absolutely *perfect* epigraph from our other queen, Sylvia. https://t.co/2bc4NfGi8Y https://t.co/VtlsIkX6ao

I have *so many* Friday Feels™️! First, I’m so thrilled that HESTER by @Laurie_Albanese is a @bookofthemonth October selection! “You'll never look at the Scarlet A the same after reading this quintessential New England tale of power and desire.”https://t.co/YicpznPuiw

Thinking about editing, even on vacation…🥰 what an ideal novel to read in Maine (and what an ideal novel, period), which brought me to tears with its final, perfect line. Brava @aliceedark @MSRBooks @msrucci; FELLOWSHIP POINT is a triumph. https://t.co/gSPvoBzugn

Consistently amazed by the magnificent @carolatlovering, who makes writing emotionally incisive, compulsively-readable fiction while being a mom to two little ones look easy. So proud to be her editor and friend. Check her out in @TheCut! ❤️ https://t.co/lql0kkl78p

House of Mirth

Edith Wharton

@jhanteigh @bananafitz 10/10; only one note, which is that House of Mirth (post 1900, but just barely) is in excellent conversation with those three and Edith Wharton is an absolute queen.

What's Eating Us: Women, Food, and the Epidemic of Body Anxiety

Cole Kazdin
Sarah CantinSarah Cantin

And WHAT’S EATING US, by Cole Kazdin, a true book of my heart. The author and I first connected 10 years ago when she wrote a powerful Modern Love column about her eating disorder and I cold-emailed her to see if she’d thought about writing a book. A decade later, here we are. 💙 https://t.co/JaXLqwzWKR
