Last month, we invited readers to share their responses to a writing prompt inspired by Victoria Livingstone’s Exhaustion and Rest: Motherhood and Creativity and Linda Collins’s Write of Passage: Telling a Daughter’s Story.

Now Reading — February 2021

I’ve always felt that reading is balsam für die Seele, meaning “balm for the soul,” a phrase I learned from a friend who’s wondrously fluent in German. Immersion in the universe of a book is a form of escapism from real world concerns, causing the heart rate to slow, the breath to deepen. It’s easy […]

Now Reading — January 2021

Each page of my crisp, new reading log contains space for thoughts about the books I plan to read this year, along with room to jot down noteworthy quotes and award ratings for plot, characters, and overall enjoyability.

Now Reading — November 2020

“If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you.” Normally I’d be in total agreement with this sage advice from the late seventeenth century French writer Marie Rabutin-Chantal De Sévigne. There’s nothing like an elegant truffle from Godiva or a dreamy caramel scotchmallow from See’s—my personal favorite—to lift the […]
