Emily St. John Mandel is definitely an auto-buy author for me! I've loved all her books so far.

I always love seeing what you are reading and baking. :) Love the idea of a Meet the Booklover series.

I'm Sea of Tranquility evangelist and have Mandel's other two but I keep putting them off afraid I won't have the same phenomenal experience, your words are pushing me to bump it on up the stack.

Thank you so much, Brittany!!

I was the same about Station Eleven - I would recommend that over Glass Hotel though this one was a great read. It's not sci-fi at all, which I was expecting. 😂😅

Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ podcast sounds amazing! I’m definitely adding it to my walking rotation.
