Like most storytellers, Sally Felt is an adventurer at heart. Six foot tall and insatiably curious, Sally has spent the night in some odd places—in a hammock, on a riverboat, in a convent and in a whorehouse. She’s waded barefoot in the Mississippi and swum in the Amazon.

Her formative teen years included a student exchange to Middle Earth (aka, New Zealand) and a summer working as a chore girl on a dude ranch.

These days, Sally makes wishes on the new moon, refuses to dye her silver hair, enjoys fine sipping tequila and hopes to inherit her mother’s laugh. She’s also a decent Wii bowler.

Top 3 reasons readers make better lovers

Some of us are turned on by the scent of books. Some appreciate the well-toned muscles of readers who regularly heft hardcovers. There many reasons to snuggle up to someone who spends lots of time between the covers, but here are my top three reasons readers make better lovers.

This is my third Katherine Applegate, and by far my favorite. I gobbled it up in an afternoon.

Call it low-key horror. Suburban spec-fic. However else you label this dystopian story, it is sneaky (and I like it)!

What do I mean sneaky? I can see the appeal in using the observations and wisdom of elders to point me toward a career that suits me

I’m struggling with this one. Compared with some of the early Newbery medalists, it’s fully “woke” (not saying much — those early books provide a pretty low bar for racism). I mean, however well intentioned, there’s just no escaping that this is a st ...more

I really liked this one. It offered me a new perspective on life in 17th century colonial America—I always imagined it would be a lot of hard work and not a lot of luxury. And if I’d thought about what it would be like to live among Puritans, I might ...more
