I had no idea who The 1975 were until our daughter announced that they‘re seeing them in Vienna on Monday (taking a night train to get there which should be interesting). For any of you with growing / grown children, I highly recommend one of those Spotify family playlists - it opens up new windows into family members’ lives (or, well, at least into what they‘re listening to). Like, I have now listened to a few of The 1975‘s songs!
Got Tom Lake on my TBR! Do you follow Parnasuss Book on Tik Tok? Ann Patchett gives out the best book recommendations on that handle.☺️ Also, love High Desert! Some of it was filmed in my town Yucca Valley. Also... Pioneertown is nothing like on the show 😂
Ann Patchett is the best! I reread Bel Canto in March 2020 (!) and it was the perfect book for the time.

I posted this on your IG page, but in the "official" HBO Succession podcast, Jeremy Strong argues "I'm not Kendall Roy!" and uses his current headwear, a Books are Magic hat, as evidence...!
It’s so funny how you describe Ann Patchett’s books, because that’s the way I feel about YOUR books. I started with This Time Tomorrow and have been reading you steadily since!
I do hope Taylor Swift is happy but if dating someone who does the Heil Hitler salute, makes racist and sexist “jokes”, and follows a murderer on social media — none of it ironically or satirically — it says a lot about the type of man she would date and it’s … concerning. As someone who is taking my 8- and 10-year-old nieces to her show next month, it’s really disappointing.
I feel the exact same way about Ann Patchett and Jia Tolentino. Write about anything you want, I don’t care, I’ll read it!

High Desert has been on my list, too. Thanks for the recommendation. And there is only one Darcy and he is Colin Firth. This is the way.

Wow -- Ann Patchett's novel sounds like an absolute dream. I adore her.
I love her, too, but I also love you and your books in that same, disgusting way!
I'm reading TOM LAKE now and loving it!
Meryl Streep does the audio for Tom Lake? My Libro.fm preorder is in!
I’ve been eyeing High Desert. The cast is stellar. And I can’t wait to see You Hurt My Feelings!
I fucking love your writing, Emma! And Ann Patchett’s too.

What is it with the f—- word! Why do you feel you must use it? Your reviews would be just fine with that word. Thank you
