I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since Morgan sent Pepe this banner. She was just over here about a week ago reading part of your New York Times Magazine piece.

Look at the pretty things I got at the UTA glass show this morning!

And finally, I have really been enjoying the books from 831 Stories. They’re novella-length romances, they seem to be releasing a new one monthly, and they have honestly all been pretty delightful. FOUND TIME and EXIT LANE are two I read this month and they were perfect.

TALK, by Linda Rosenkrantz.
During the summer of 1965, Rosenkrantz took hundreds (thousands?) of hours of recordings. She then winnowed them down, constructing a storyline of sorts and turned them into a book. Three friends from the New York art world spend the summer in East Hampton and talk.

EVERY ONE STILL HERE, Liadan Ní Chuinn. Short stories about Northern Ireland and living in and with the history of colonialism and violence. Mesmerizing stuff.

CHERRY BABY, by Rainbow Rowell. You should just trust me, and go in fairly blind. I love Rowell’s writing, and have read her across many genres, including those I tend not to favor.

It’s romance, but also not. It’s about figuring out who you are and what you’re worth, but even more than that?

Also read SAY NOTHING if you haven’t. It’s legitimately great.

LONDON FALLING: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family’s Search for Truth by Patrick Radden Keefe. In 2019, 19-year-old Zac Brettler plunged from the balcony of a ritzy London apartment into the Thames below.

Also. Did you all know that this bird, the marabou stork, easily the ugliest animal I’ve ever seen, is where marabou feathers for robes and boas and all that floofy fanciness historically came from? Now, they largely use turkey feathers. Apologies to any marabou stork followers.

I’m planning a scavenger hunt for my nephew’s tenth birthday, and as part of that, I’ve painted some rocks to be found (and some to be re-hidden) They’re all scavengers of the animal kingdom. I even made an Instagram account for tagging if people find the hidden ones after our hunt.

In less heavy news, I’ve quite liked all of Kerry Winfrey’s books, but hadn’t gotten around to reading her two YA novels. They were both delightful.

LOVE AND OTHER ALIEN EXPERIENCES &
THINGS JOLIE NEEDS TO DO BEFORE SHE BITES IT.
Both by Kerry Winfrey.

Hujar describes the shooting of this portrait of Allen Ginsberg in his recitation of his DAY.
April 2, 2026 at 2:15 AM
Hujar also photographed just about everyone involved in the New York art scene in the 70s and 80s.

You may not know his name, but I’d bet you’ve seen some of Peter Hujar’s photography. Especially if you’re a reader. 👇🏻

PETER HUJAR’S DAY, by Linda Rosenkrantz.

The transcript of a recording Rosenkrantz made where Hujar quite literally just recounts his day to her.

Last year it was turned into a film, directed by Ira Sachs and starring Ben Whishaw.

Friends of the Library book sale day!
I think I made out well.

The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest, by Aubrey Hartman.

Middle grade adventure with Clare, the undead Fox who has the job of directing animal souls to their final resting places, and the badger who complicates everything.

Skippy Dies, by Paul Murray.

Daniel “Skippy” Juster is a 14-year old student at a Catholic boarding school in Dublin. He does indeed die.

That’s all you need to know. I didn’t even know that much. It’s weird and sad and funny and I liked it a lot.

Nice! Teddy loves French fries!
Good job, Priya. (And Mary 💜)

Despite being “corrected” many times, I have always believed that the way I say Zooey is the way it was intended to be said. So I was beyond pleased when I found this ⬇️. But this is all I can find.
