Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling
Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling, Lucy Frank Schwartz & Wade, August 2014 Reviewed from final copy I’m old. This year, it has really come home to me that I have been doing this for a while, with the following exchanges: Me: Oooh, a new one from Cecil Castellucci! Joy: You mean the LA Review […]

Picnic at Random
If you’ve never been to a preview before: it’s a chance for the editors to tell people about upcoming, exciting titles.
