Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
There’s nothing like finding a new (to you) author whose voice you love. This week, I devoured the second book in Lucy Parker’s London Celebrity contemporary romance series, Pretty Face— and immediately ordered Book Three. Now there’s incentive for me to finish the chapter I’m working on, so I can use the rest of my…

Read MoreTonight: NYC! Yorkville Library, 5:30pm
There’s nothing like your childhood library, is there? When I was thirteen or so, I had squash lessons on Monday afternoons. Instead of heading straight home after, I would go to the Yorkville Branch of the New York Public Library and wait for my mother to meet me there on her way home from work. …
Read MoreTHE ENGLISH WIFE– Now in Paperback!
Why, hello there, The English Wife! Now with a new, floppier cover, and a new lower price– but the same prose inside! The English Wife paperback is available wherever books are sold. (I’ve always loved that phrase.) If you happen to see some English Wife paperbacks out and about in the wild, snap a picture and post it…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
This week, I read Lucy Parker’s Act Like It, the first in her London Celebrities contemporary romance series. Where has this book been all my life? Actually, I can tell you the exact answer to that. On my nighttable, in a pile of books sent by my college roommate, the world’s best roommate and book…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
I can’t tell you what I’ve been reading, unfortunately, because it’s something I have deeply mixed feelings about– and when I can’t say something positive, or at least neutral, about a book, I’d rather not say anything at all. Because I know someone else (or many someones!) will love that same book that annoys me,…
Read MoreHappy Valentine’s Day!
In honor of Valentine’s Day, here’s my traditional Valentine’s Day post: a piece I wrote a decade ago, way back in 2009, for the (now defunct) All-A-Blog. “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you….” They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. With that as my…
Read MoreTHE ENGLISH WIFE Paperback Tour
Brew a pot of tea, make a nest of blankets, and settle in for a long read: The English Wife comes out in paperback two weeks from today! I hope you can join me on the road! I’ll be celebrating the launch of The English Wife paperback, appropriately enough, in New York, at the…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
This week, I had two sick kids at home, so I decided to save my shiny new ARCs of The Golden Hour and Milady for when I have sufficient brain cells to enjoy them, and, instead, resorted to my exceedingly well-worn copy of Dorothy Sayers’s Busman’s Honeymoon, in which Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane…
