We asked our editors and columnists to look in their book bags and on their night stands to tell us what they’re currently reading. We hope our readers find titles to add to their own “Now Reading” lists! And then spread the joy! Download the list here and bring it to your favorite mama-friendly bookstore!
“Next on my list is The Castle in the Forest by Norman Mailer because I haven’t read anything by him and figure why not?”
“Katherine Weber writes about being on top of the world as she breaks into and climbs one of the (under construction) World Trade Center Towers with her boyfriend in the middle of the night. Susan Casey tells the story of ditching the stress of Christmas in New York and driving down to Baja where, ‘Everything was peaceful. Everything was moving. And if you asked me what would have made me happier than this, I couldn’t have told you.’ “I wanted to slink out of the library with this book under my arms, (the cover carries the image of big, puckered, bright red lips, and the phrase “Bad Girls” dangling like a charm from the anonymous mouth) but I’ve looked forward to falling into bed each night and savoring these stories of personal, female triumph.”
