Currently Reading

I just finished re-reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck for a virtual tour, and boy howdy the themes are still relevant today.

Favorite Book

This is an impossible question. Here's one random Top Five:
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, Thursday Next by Jasper Fforde, One is the Sun by Patricia Nell Warren, The Oresteia by Aeschylus, and whatever Marissa Levien writes next.

Favorite Drink

An Old Fashioned is my drink to test if a bartender is any good

Favorite Author

'Favorite for what' is always my answer, because I never have one favorite anything. I have favorites based on genre, style, or sometimes favorite from a particular time in my life!

Favorite Author On Tour

Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I want to be like her when I grow up.
