Book Report for 2026 Q3 📚 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read the most during the summertime.Maybe it is thanks to the days being a little longer so I have a few more hours of light to finish additional chapters before bedtime. Perhaps it’s that I’m outside a lot and there is almost nothing I love as much as sitting on a sun lounger with a worn paperback. Whatever the case, it’s only the end of September, and I have already met my 65 book reading goal for the year. Cue the confetti and applause, please. Despite years of graduate school, I am a very

Read excerpt
For most of my life, I have been “a good girl.”As a teenager, I didn’t drink or smoke. I never tried drugs. Sex was way off the table. And I couldn’t party because I wasn’t invited. Part of this behavior stemmed from my fear of what would happen if I did something wrong. Not in the sense that I thought I’d be damned to hell for eternity—despite attending Catholic school, I’m not particularly religious—but that I always assumed I’d experience major consequences if I screwed up.

“That’s not for sale.”I shout down to the street from the first floor of my home. I’m talking to a shopper on Portobello Road, who was running their hand over my green velvet Chesterfield couch. When they hear me, they step away, confused. The couch was too large to fit through the door of the London house—anything wider than 23 inches is—so we had to schedule a time for a man to remove the front window. That way a crew of more men could hoist it through the opening, right into our living room.
Ellen O’Clover Enjoys the Great Outdoors ⛰️ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve long loved the act of yearning.By definition, “a deep, intense, and often melancholic desire for something or someone, especially things that are hard to get or out of reach.” It’s a word I would use to describe so many things that I’ve wanted over the years. More sunny days before the new school year started. To have an ass that looked good in skinny jeans. A specific college acceptance letter. A boyfriend. A job. A book deal.I particularly like to have a little yearning in the books that
A Writing Room of One’s Own 📝 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Setting up a house takes work.A lot of it. Certainly more than I realized when Max and I signed the lease for our home in Notting Hill nearly a year ago. There were so many rooms to fill and make usable. Honestly, in retrospect, I fell in love with the idea of having a pretty large urban space, but without any clue of how intense the reality would be.Our house is old, the original bones from the 1830s, so it’s a bit of a wonky set up. You take a big staircase to get up to the kitchen, a couple e
