It’s a tale as old as time in THE HOUNDING, my Day 19 and final #Libfaves25 pick. Man thinks girl should smile more. Girl ignores man. Man accuses girl and her sisters of witchcraft. This book was a whole vibe and I enjoyed it start to finish.

THE NAMES, my #LibFaves25 Day 9 pick, wrecked me. It was incredible how one choice leads to another and another… What is so remarkable about this story is that it has the same threads, but they are woven together differently with possible narrative.

Mỹ Documents (MY DOCUMENTS) is my #LibFaves25 Day 8 pick because I read it months ago and am still thinking about it. Unfortunately it seems to have become even more timely.

Day 7 of #LibFaves25 goes to the book I couldn’t wait to get my hands on—TO KILL A BADGER. I love this series & these characters. Whenever I want an escape, the MacKilligan sisters, their friends, & their awful father who just won’t die are there to make me laugh.

BRING THE HOUSE DOWN is my Day 6 #LibFaves25 pick. When a nepo baby critic gives your show one star & sleeps with you before you find out, the only appropriate response is to redo your show to take him down & send his colleague into a spiral questioning power in art, misogyny, & who gets to be mad.

Day 5 of #LibFaves25 is a reminder to never judge a book by its cover because wow if there is anything I hate, loathe, despise, and abominate, it’s the cover of HEART THE LOVER. Honestly still annoyed with how I devoured this achingly perfect read in one day because ugh that cover.

Buckle up, buttercup, because SKY DADDY is my #LibFaves25 Day 4 pick. I was warned and still was not prepared for this book. The premise may not be for everyone (definitely shelve it if you’re flying anytime soon), but the way Kate Folk draws you into and tells this unique story is incredible.

#LibFaves25 Day 3 goes to SO FAR GONE. I picked up this one because I heard it described as a modern day True Grit. It is, and so much more because John Wayne would never, and I mean that in most complimentary way to Rhys Kinnick.

Day 2 of #LibFaves25 is FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM. This minute by minute accounting of 24 hours of staff-created calamity up to and including a museum’s gala is my favorite kind of messy.

Day 1 of #LibFaves25 goes to MUTUAL INTEREST, the book Libby reclaimed before I could finish that I immediately turned around and bought because I had to keep reading. Succession but make it queer and Gilded Age with my favorite narrative voice possibly ever.

So excited about the expertise in this room (and on Zoom)!

Come for the 40s screwball comedy, stay for the 1948 indictment of higher ed that is uncomfortably close to the present. Broadway revival with the entire reading cast please and thank you. #classicstage #goodbyemyfancy

This script + this cast = perfection

So many layers to familial legacy, cultural legacy, and the fact that the sisterly bond is a complicated one.

Never had any desire to attend the Thanksgiving Day Parade, but my favorite Thanksgiving thing remains seeing the balloons get inflated the night before.

Spent the past 3 Mondays at The Irish Rep for the New Works Fall Festival. Line up was The Alternative, then The Honey Trap, & tonight with Crocodile Fever. 10/10 would recommend.
