It’s so funny to read a Joy Williams story and realize just how much her work has influenced so many writers. There’s something about the structure of her stories that feels like an egg dropping, the story ending when the egg has just hit the floor, the inner world spilling out. But also I’m inebriated so who knows if that makes sense

It’s not my usual kind of read, but they’re currently in South Africa—where I went on my honeymoon—and I like being able to picture everything! It’s also cute. Not my fave, but definitely a fun read

This one girl is a total Rory Gilmore, and it has me stressed and pressed. Y’all will see what I’m talking about when it comes out. Very much enjoying so far

This is already ick but I’m trying to push through for a newsletter.

All I can think about is how all of these books are the same—this feels it would be in that joke of “it’s like Fern Gully or Pocahontas or Danced With Wolves” not exactly but close. Anyway, just getting my thoughts now while they’re here

Very early in but already so taken by the stunning prose and captivating characters. Can’t wait to get further into this one!

The opening pages took a little long to unfurl, for my liking, but Gordon has a magnificent ear for dialogue—it’s the kind of thing you could see being directly adapted for a screenplay. I’m intrigued and excited to see where it’s headed

Reading this while dealing with anxiety from the world falling apart is an interesting experience

I’m already stressed and pressed

It’s been a minute since I’ve read such a well crafted page turner!

A slow burn—but like intentional, not in a bad way. Loving this world and how quiet this novel is.
