The Nest Mar 29, 2016

Show notes

There are two camps when it comes to THE NEST by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney – those who find the ending happy and those who find it so, so sad. Cynthia lands in the middle but has a theory on why some people see it one way and not the other. She also listens to her own audiobook in the car (for research purposes!), broke a cardinal rule of MFA programs, and writes to entertain herself, not a potential publisher. It all completely pans out. Scroll to the bottom to see her star-studded (and hilarious) book trailer: https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062414212/the-nest Download the audiobook via iTunes http://ads.harpercollins.com/hcaudiopres?isbn=9780062443830&retailer=apple and Audible http://ads.harpercollins.com/hcaudiopres?isbn=9780062443830&retailer=audible

Moonlight Over Paris Mar 08, 2016

You know how the Bechtel Test judges literature by whether there are two female characters who have a conversation about something other than a man?
