The Phoenix Pencil Company is a Reese's Bookclub Pick!!! When Allison and I chatted this had not been announced so I didn't get to ask her about that experience. :( But we had a fantastic conversation about the idea behind his fascinating book and it's magical premise. She talks about "hand wave" magic and the very real research she did on the historical timeline of this book - the years in Shanghai between the Civil War and World War II. This book has so much to say about p...

If you haven't listened to Amy Clark's Book Gang Podcast interviews - you are missing out! Here - let me help you out. Go listen. She does impeccable research and asks brilliant questions and she really and truly only recommends books she loves. Amy has great taste and she's never recommended a book to me that I didn't love.

Whenever Joshilyn stops by you know you're getting an excellent book and knock-down delicious cocktail. Today is no exception.

And the Meadowlyn is like getting punched in the face by spring. Highly recommend. ALSO - I read the book but JOSHILYN NARRATES THE AUDIO!!! How amazing is that? Anyway - go get this book if you love great opening scenes, women g...
I love Mindy Hung. Her writing is like talking to a friend or having the perfect cup of coffee. It just feels good. Mindy has written a little bit of everything under a bunch of different pen names but The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu feels like the perfect blend of all her talents. It's got some magic (some menopause) some romance some family drama and a GORGEOUS cover. I can't recommend this book enough. A seemingly inexplicable magic takes over the lives of three gener...
Like millions of you I read The Change a few years ago and it blew my little mind. Magic, menopause, female rage - it's a perfect witches brew for a fantastic book. Enter - The Women of Wild Hill. More witches than menopause, still lots of female rage and a dark destiny that ripples through a family. Kristen writes my kind of book - sharp but soft on the inside, full of women trying really hard and sometimes getting it wrong. A couple of murders and lots and lots of rage. A witty, spec...
