Passover Readings!

Leading up to Passover this year, I had loads of fun sharing both my Passover picture books with groups of enthusiastic listeners, young and old(er).

At Temple Isaiah in Lexington, MA, I read PAULIE’S PASSOVER PREDICAMENT to religious school students and talked about my writing process. One of their favorite parts of the book was Paulie the moose putting pepp Read more of this blog post »

Jane liked an answer about Heart the Lover: We learn at the end that the narrator is actually named Casey (Jordan has been a Gatsby nickname all along). I also saw mention of a connection to Writers & Lovers - are the protagonists in both novels the same person?? I had read Writers & Lovers a few years ago, so my memory isn't super sharp. Would it fit? This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler) Rebecca

Would it fit? I haven’t read any of her other books so when Silas called her Casey at the end I was utterly confused. I googled it and landed here. Now it makes sense I guess but at first I thought it was an error in the editing. Kirsten Hunt Kowalski

Jane and 50 other people liked Darcia Helle's review of Mother Mary Comes to Me: "I’m in the vast minority with my thoughts on this book, so feel free to ignore me. This memoir read like a recitation of events that remained a step removed from emotion. We jumped around a lot in the timeline and hopped from one event to another. I n" Read more of this review »
