Different topic but thanks to you, I’ve started doing 5Calls! I was so nervous at first, but so happy when I finished my first round of phone calls to my Rep, Senator, etc.. I’m in Florida so I’ve got a lot of calls to make! Thanks again for your great Substacks!
Kissing the whiskery face of your CRONE friends had me on the floor! Yesterday, I had our librarian at school armed with my Tweezermans looking for gnarly, errant whiskers on my chin in a sunny spot in our school library. Single Crones gotta stay together!
We Live In Time was the MOST BEAUTIFUL MOVIE I have seen in years. And yes, both my husband and i are obsessed with F.P. Thank you for the tip on Hands Off... there is one in my community. Grateful for you.
I was just popping into comments to express my similarly ardent praise of Loved & Missed, and here’s Molly Wizenberg, who is the person who recommended Catherine Newman to her readers years ago. This is the kind of internet connection that thrills me. Thanks to both of you! 💕
Yes!! Loved And Missed is an extraordinary, exquisitely-written book. I read it a few months ago and couldn't understand how it had flown so under the radar - I'm so glad it's getting more attention. My 2-year-old son randomly handed it to me this morning and I was reading to him from it, thinking to myself 'how is Susie Boyt SO good?!?'
I loved We live in time so much, I watched it in January and cried and cried and have thought about it every day since! It perfectly fits my favourite movie genre which is “sad and beautiful”.
I want to read all of these books now and I am the sllllloooowwwwwest reader on the planet. I can only tear through your books! Oh well. Btw, not to be a bitchy New Yorker but it's borough, not burough. 😅

Right? Sigh (sob).
YES to Loved and Missed!

YES and reading it as a newish grandmother brought in a more layers of awe

Just came here to say thanks for this recommendation! I loved this book!
I'm obsessed with the bald eagle nest cam. It may be my gateway drug to birdwatching.
I know what you mean? But probably still no for me. Ha ha ha!
I have zero interest in birdwatching per se, but I also never thought I would be into this eagle family! So who knows what the future holds lol!

Like. . . how?
That's my most favorite picture of you!
okay fine (pressed play on telepathy tapes!)
Erm, she knows....
actually LOL
I clicked the eagle cam and they literally were feeding them right then
Exactly!

I think same? Or else, like, Paul Rudd.
I feel like The Telepathy Tapes changed me on a soul level?! Engrossing and incredibly well-produced. Will restore your faith in love and humanity!
Added Loved and Missed immediately to my TBR -- I live for a heart-wrenching tale about motherhood!!
I'll be shocked if you don't love it.
We live in time is filmed in my neighbourhood in London. Thanks for reminding me it’s out - I must see it!
Oh you must!

Doh!
💜🩵💚💛🧡❤️ your words. always. xo
Just put ALL those books on reserve at the library, Except Crush which I had already read and loved (yay Ada!).
This book list is AMAZING.
