As shared in my January Quick Lit round-up:
I wasn't going to read this, and then enough bookseller friends recommended it that I changed my mind. In this broad essay collection, Ann Patchett reflects on the writing life, significant friendships, bookstore ownership, and taking mushrooms (really!). I had read earlier versions of some pieces before—and maybe you have, too, because we shared them in Links I Love, but I enjoyed both revisiting those and reading her new work. You may be surprised to hear my favorite issues center not on her writing experience but on complex family relationships, as she does in "The Nightstand" and "Two More Things I Want to Say About My Father."

I finished this deeply moving book this morning and this afternoon visited my favorite local indie to pick up a book I had ordered. What did I see on the shelf? A signed copy of this book. I had to have it.
