Reading

It's been a year, hasn't it? As we usher in the next year (couldn't come soon enough) here are a few of the conversations with women we loved—actually, can we say we loved every article we published in 2020? Yes, but these will be definite re-reads in 2021.

Oh, you need a holiday read? Might I suggest one of these? From historical fiction, to self-help, and even an amazing children's book sprinkled in for good measure, here are my favorites from 2020.

"Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams and more reading helped me make my dreams come true." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Because I’m of the old-fashioned conviction that reading is a pleasure to be carefully guarded at all times.” - Jenny Colgan, The Bookshop on the Corner

The best of new fall reads to crack open, stack on your bedside and glean plenty of inspiration as we head into a new season.

The books we cannot wait to dive into (no pun intended) this summer!

For our March book recommendations, we've pulled 10 fantastic books from the archives to round out our winter reading and welcome the beginning of spring. Ranging from oldies but goodies to new releases by some of our favorite authors, each title in our reading list carries its own, timely significance.

We are acknowledging this month that, like the calendar year, we also go through "seasons" of preferences--particularly when it comes to reading. While in the summers we crave lighter, airier works of fiction to the deep, enthralling stores that move us in the winter, for the month of February we are focusing on 3 memoirs that are perfect for hunkering down and fighting the cold.

As our minds buzz with excitement over the prospects and possibilities of the year to come, we invite you to take a moment to quiet your mind with the wonderful stories we're reading to kick off 2019.

There is a title for every literary fan out there: spirited novels, cookbooks and fantastic stories in children's literature are just some of the genres comprising our holiday gift list. Read on to find the perfect book for the reader in your life or, better yet, yourself.

For a lot of women, it can often feel as though stories about women in their 40s are few and far between. In her latest novel, No One Tells You This, author Glynnis MacNicol discusses the particularly difficult year in which she turned 40 and the self reflection that allowed her to realize being 40 is, actually, amazing.

From beloved journalist, Gloria Steinem, to Bad Feminist essayist, Roxane Gaye, we honor all of the brave women in our lives this month with a reading list comprised solely of female authors.

It's fall and we can't help but feel the back-to-school spirit. Give in to your inner child and stock up on these books for your fall reading list.

As summer passes its peak and our imaginations embrace the beginning of seasonal change, harness the compelling energy of these 5 novels we're reading this August to round-out our summer reading.

Quarterlane and Juniper Books band together this July to curate 3 boxes of seasonal favorites. From fiction to a coming-of-age memoir and everything in between, our July reading list is perfect for challenging new perspectives, celebrating sisterhood and revisiting old favorites.

We are energizing our summer reading plans with these five vibrant reads: a collection of short stories and essays, a thoughtful debut novel, and a go-to spiritual guide.

This spring, we're reaching for titles that are juicy in both style and storyline, including Michael Pollan's unexpected new release and an Atwood-esque novel.

While we wait for winter to fully abate, we're digging into this diverse selection of books: a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the restaurant industry, a look at injustice within the legal system and more.

This month, after a particularly tenuous few weeks in the U.S., we’ve compiled a book list of narratives that encourage empathy, compassion and expanded worldviews.

We don't know about you, but we're making our way through this last chilly month of winter with a warm blanket and some good reads, including a chilling thriller, a lush romance, and even an old favorite children's book series.

Take a break from all of the self-help-oriented, New Year's-inspired reading, and dive into some fiction instead. You might be surprised by what the characters teach you about yourself, says our resident literary columnist.
