Currently on my reading wishlist…
I love “fly-on-the-wall” accounts, so I can’t wait to read The Receptionist by Janet Groth, 21 years worth of stories from a receptionist at The New Yorker. I can only imagine all she has seen and overheard! Monkey Mind sounds like the perfect description of what goes on in the anxious brain, something the author Daniel Smith and I know quite a bit about. His account has been described as both “pain filled” and “hilarious” and it’s sure to make those of us with anxiety feel like we’re not in it alone. FInally, for all the die hard Harry Potter fans J.K. Rowling’s new book The Casual Vacancy is available for pre-order! It’s safe to say we will read anything J.K. puts in front of us, no?
Adding all of these to my list. Monkey Mind sounds intriguing!
I love little glimpses into the magazine/literary world. The Receptionist sounds wonderful!

looking forward to JK Rowling’s book!
Hooray! I just finished Swamplandia! and am looking for something new to read. I can’t wait to check out these recs.
you always have the best book recommendations! thanks for these, definitely picking up a copy of the receptionist on my next trip to the library!
