Tomorrow we record!

GOALS

Rereading I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, translated from the French by Roz Schwartz. Chatting about it with @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social and @ds228.bsky.social on Tuesday for the next episode of @onebrightbook.bsky.social. Would love to hear your thoughts.

On a Very Special Episode of @onebrightbook.bsky.social I’m joined by @rohanmaitzen.bsky.social to talk about William Makepeace Thackeray’s wonderful VANITY FAIR onebrightbook.com/2025/10/28/b...

29 years ago @rohanmaitzen.bsky.social assigned me this book. I did not read it. But now I have performed my teshuvah (repentance)... onebrightbook.com/2025/10/28/b...

Don't look now but a special BONUS episode of the pod is coming your way! Featuring @rohanmaitzen.bsky.social and this bad boy

We love to hear it!

Exciting day for the pod! Recorded the conversation that will feature as the afterword to the forthcoming @unnamedpress.bsky.social edition of Sarah Orne Jewett's MARSH ISLAND!

My introduction to our episode on Galdos's Miaow is also here! eigermonchjungfrau.blog/2025/10/22/o...

Oh it went down alright

That smile knows a thing or two

I loved this plucky, exploratory, enlightening conversation, & Frances provides an excellent intro! I adore Carrington & savored the experience of reading this book, but it’s not for everyone. This discussion is for everyone, however, & you’ll be entertained. Thanks for the #NYRBWomen25 shoutout! 💛

Episode 39 is live, and it might be one of our best! We discuss Leonora Carrington's singular THE STONE DOOR--and never has our love for each other been more tested! onebrightbook.com/2025/10/03/e...

This is going to be an interesting conversation. Chatting on Sunday with @ds228.bsky.social and @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social. Coming to you sometime next week. Have you read it? How did it strike you? Would love to hear from the #NYRBWomen25 folks who just read it.

"They were living the dream of a marriage, the fabric uncut, nothing slashed or spoiled. All winter they spent their money, and went to parties, and talked about Peter's future job. It lasted four months. They spent their money, lived in the future, and were never as happy again." #NYRBWomen25
