I so enjoyed talking to Donna Seaman about her bookish memoir, River of Books--it's the perfect read (and gift) for any dedicated reader -

"I read over my head a lot as a kid." 📚 Author and @ALA_Booklist editor @Booklist_Donna discussed her latest publication, "A River of Books: A Life in Reading" with Book Lust host @Nancy_Pearl. Watch the full interview here: https://t.co/dB5kPFNwbW

@ElleBorst Are you on Bluesky? Would love to follow you but I'm not doing anything on twitter these days

So nice to be able to interview Leah. When I was chair of the Pulitzer fiction jury, she was one of the two other judges, along with another writer I just adore: Elizabeth McCracken

As a kid, author Leah Hager Cohen realized writing offers the chance to dismantle reality's rules. 🖊️🪄 She brought that otherworldly possibility to her latest novel, "To & Fro." Watch the full Book Lust with @Nancy_Pearl interview: https://t.co/GNMtBSoyTm

I loved being on Twitter (since June, 20101!) until everything changed so much that I'm moving over to Bluesky; I hope some of my followers here will join me there - @nancybooklustpearl.bsky.social - for book recs and whatever.

@KStateReed it's totally simple (and I bet I'm older than you and definitely crankier) - we can follow each other

@EasterbrookG Reminds me of the Eliot lines from Little Gidding: “We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.”
