The latest issues of BookPage and some interesting interviews

 Yesterday I picked up the latest edition of BookPage and was happy to see a few interviews published by authors I am interested in.

The article on Flynn Berry was great, titled "I'm Used to Being Haunted by Characters".  I enjoyed Northern Spy by Flynn Berry and was pleased her latest book, Trust Her, will follow up on the same characters. Also in this piece it was nice to read about her characters but also how she feels about other books/characters we've both read. 

Flynn mentions she wonders about Rachel in The Rachel Incident, about how they might have been friends and where she is in London.  I wonder about characters like that as well. They seem so real and are so well developed that I hope to see them appear in other books.

Claire Lombardo's latest, Same As It Ever Was, is also featured in this issue.  She has an interview chatting about how her books come together and what she is working on.

Last month's issue here featured a good interview with Claire Messud.

The wrinkled pages are because I jammed it in my purse.  Messud talks about how long it took her to write the story and the inspiration from her family history.

This Strange Eventful History is Messud's sixth novel and draws from her own French Algerian family.

On tap today is getting back to a Mary Beth Keane novel and planning an enchilada dinner.  I hope your Sunday is going well :-)
