That interview with Alan Jacobs was my very first podcast of hers I listened to (and maybe how I was introduced to her work)! My husband routinely brings up his concept of reading at whim, for delight.
"The Deep Place" - Such a haunting, gripping, and wild ride of a memoir.
The Chosen is one of my all-time favorite books. It’s so underrated, and I’ve never recommended it to anyone who didn’t also love it.
Yes! It’s so very good. Sharing it again this week in my newsletter.
I had an amazing college lit class that required reading The Chosen. I think I’ve read all his books now, and wow. What an author. One of my top favs.
what a great class!! He's a wonderful writer and I'm especially excited to read The Chosen's sequel and My Name is Asher Lev.
It was called Suffering and Grace in the novel, which is just such a compelling title. Wish I could take it again!
that's the best sort of college class.

I have been intending to read The Chosen for years. Thank you for the nudge!
I don't think you'll be disappointed! I love a well-written middle-grade book.

What a great first RAR podcast!! It's just so good.
