Another Friday, another Friday Fifteen, in which I review five books in fifteen words or less. Onto the books!
1. Cures for Heartbreak by Margo Rabb
Read a short story excerpt of this in Seventeen; was excited to find the novel.
2. The McSweeney’s Joke Book of Book Jokes by McSweeney’s Publishing and John Hodgman
My dad saw this randomly and bought it for me. Nice move, Dad.
3. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg
Running away to the Met and figuring out an art history mystery? So much yes.
4. Our Town by Thornton Wilder
Excuse me, I’m having all the feelings. Simple but powerful.
5. Life Stories: Profiles from The New Yorker ed. by David Remnick
Excellent collection of profiles ranging from Marlon Brando to dog show people.
From the files… Was my favorite book as a child.
