Reading Between the Vines

Here are some of the members of the illustrious Washington, DC-based book club Reading Between the Vines. You can tell by their club's name that they are women you'd want to hang out with. One of their members, the lovely Katie McKnight, graciously invited me to talk with them by phone about LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT, which was their book club pick for that session. A very cool group of women with incredibly perceptive questions. I hadn't realized that the book took Lacey through a period following 9-11 through the Bush years, when the country was feeling just as lost and confused as Lacey was, until the book club pointed it out to me. So that was pretty thrilling.

I have done this book club by phone thing a few times, and it's really fun. It's always so interesting to see what people think of Lacey and of the book, and I end up learning new things about her and about the story, which is weird but cool. If you have a book club let me know. I'd love to talk to your club by phone. Just email me at loveorsomething@gmail.com. And in the meantime, here's to READING BETWEEN THE VINES. Thanks again for having me.
