I’m getting ready to start this this weekend. What did you think?
It’s such a great podcast & I got lucky that WANDA was playing in the cinema last night!
A MARSH ISLAND by Sarah Orne Jewett, including a conversational afterword with Frances Evangelista, Rebecca Hussey & Dorian Stuber.
Look what has arrived!! 🎉🎉 @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social @nonsuchbook.bsky.social @ds228.bsky.social
I thought the same thing about it being a beautiful companion piece.
I really did love everything, but two surprises were how much I learned about Stein (Wade’s research & perspective are fabulous) & how much I loved Josephine Rowe’s little gem. I need to read more by her!
An excellent listen!! ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social joined @mookse.bsky.social & @bibliopaul.bsky.social to talk about my favorite type of book, unclassifiable ones.
What are your favorite books that blend genres? open.spotify.com/episode/6Uwh...
Same. Her performance is so good!!!
💛💛💛 Every day is like returning to an old friend when I pick up my Sarton to read.

Damion Searls) Little World by Josephine Rowe Plant Dreaming Deep by May Sarton Hothouse Bloom by Austyn Wohlers Gertrude Stein by Francesca Wade Art Work by Sally Mann
Here are the books I finished in February. I recommitted to reading 1hr each morning before starting work & it was just the reset I needed. Bessette & Sarton were both rereads. 4 are from the @usrofc.bsky.social longlist. I loved the entire stack! #AContinuation #SundaySarton #NYRBWomen26
It is a mix! 😂 A couple were inspired by recent books & several were inspired by recent showings at our local arthouse cinemas. Have you seen A MAN AND A WOMAN? (I can’t remember if I asked you that.)
💛💛💛🕊️
In no particular order, these were my favorite first-time watches in February. #FilmSky
I do not know this film, but I see that it’s playing on the Criterion Channel, so I think I’ll watch it tonight.
Writing . . . is my lifesaver when the water of the river or the sea tries to drag me under. What matters is what we write: that is what we are, not some puppet made up by those who talk and enclose us in a prison so different from our dreams.
-Silvina Ocampo, Thus Were Their Faces
I haven’t read HEX but it sounds like I should.

🔥 A special production of Anne Carson’s I Don’t Do Innocents. Produced by theater company Complicité & featuring Carson herself reading the stage directions, this radio play takes place during a wedding party from which the bride is conspicuously absent. www.theparisreview.org/podcast/6081...
An evening devoted to the work & life of Clarice Lispector! In person & livestreamed. March 11th. centerforfiction.org/event/the-in...
This is such a great conversation about Toni Morrison! (Looking at you, @bibliopaul.bsky.social. 😉) open.spotify.com/episode/3FJp...
Hooray, bravo!!! 🥳🎉
I loved it so much! I think you saw that I went down many rabbit holes because of it… bsky.app/profile/joie...
You are making me want to reread it & I don’t have time. 😂 My pile is too big!
🥰🥰🥰
Happiest of birthdays to the always engaging, thoughtful & generous @jacquiwine.bsky.social!! 🎂🥂✨
“For the first time in English, all the short fiction that Ingeborg Bachmann wrote in her lifetime in a single volume. Available Sep 29, 2026” (!!!) @ndbooks.bsky.social 🔥🔥🙌 www.ndbooks.com/book/the-com...
💛 I find that lists & muted words are imperative to keeping my feed mostly filled w/books, art & film. It's definitely quieter, but I also think that's the nature of our social media groups these days & the absence of algorithms which may have fostered more engagement but were also fraught w/issues.
🎉🎉🎉
I definitely second the recommendation. I love the entire triptych that @dorothyproject.bsky.social published by Léger & I’m getting ready to reread SUITE FOR BARBARA LODEN.
I’m excited to see it in the cinema tonight!
