This was my absolute favorite novel
of 2018, and I’m still recommending it whenever I get a chance. I was
slow to pick it up originally because I thought the topic sounded too
sad, but, one chapter in, I found I couldn’t stop reading, and I
really never wanted it to end…

You might have heard about this
author already, described by many as one of the most exciting talents
of her (millennial) generation. Those accolades might make you think
that if you’re over thirty you won’t like her novels, but nothing
could be further from the truth…

It’s not just because the jacket is so
pretty that I love this book (but that doesn’t hurt). I am one of
those introverts who’s regularly put in ‘social’ situations
(meetings, conferences, dinners, and so on). Whether you’re like me,
or a natural social butterfly, or a consummate networker, or mixed up
somewhere in the middle, I promise you’ll get something from Priya’s
advice…

The genius of this book lies in its
excellent curation of recipes from a diverse set of expert cooks—sort
of like a ‘greatest hits’ album, but one you don’t have to be
embarrassed to love…

This is a bestselling book about
grammar, usage, and style. Really! I love this in part because
Benjamin, the author, is a longtime treasured colleague. I also love
it because I wish everyone could be guided by his unfussy wit and
wisdom.

While this book had been recommended
to me by colleagues, it wasn’t until Olivia, the six-year-old
daughter of one of those colleagues, walked into my office (which is
filled with books), instantly zeroed in on a copy of this one, and
clutched it to her heart that I really paid attention…

I’ve always loved this brave and
spunky heroine. Seventy-five years post-publication, the
illustrations of Parisian street scenes are as charming as ever, and
Madeline herself holds up very well in the face of bad guys, tigers,
mice, and an appendectomy.
