September always makes me feel as if I’m turning a page. Moving on. Literally and figuratively.

I love to read writers writing about writing. Especially if there’s a mystery involved. So I’m excited about Jo Baker’s new novel.

I’m doing a lot of lolling this summer. Reading great books. And listening to quirky podcasts.

Have you noticed that here are a ton of books about wives out there these days? And some of them are really good.

I can’t imagine a camping trip, or any travel, without taking along a big bag of books.

When you’re yearning to travel but are stuck at home what do you do? Read, of course.

I’m thinking about ambition this week. And what it means.

Fredrik Backman’s book Beartown is not just a book about hockey, about life on the ice. It’s about friendship, loyalty, betrayal, and a community torn apart by a game.

Sometimes I don’t want a deep and meaty book. I just want a book that is charming, well written, and lovely.

When you read, and listen to, and watch three great mysteries in the same week, that’s called Mystery Lovers’ Nirvana.
