I LOVE listening to Sarah and Ellison talk books! Two of my faves were found this way (“Eleanor Oliphant is not fine” and “The Dutch House” were mentioned on a long ago segment). Super excited to see another Ann Patchett on the list and I’ve heard excellent things about “Sea of Tranquility,” so I can’t wait to hear what these two bibliophiles have to say about them!
I got a C in Home Ec, in juior high school. My blouse was inferior, according to the teacher. The C kept me off the honor roll. Sigh…
