I just reread Betsy’s Wedding for the umpteenth time. One of many reasons I follow you in addition to your novels, is the fact that you also love BetsyTacy.
Besides Oldster, Department of Salad is my favorite paid Substack. Thank you for recommending The Spread -- I had never heard of it and really miss women's magazines!
At this point, fiction is more credible than real life, and I'm rethinking some of my newspaper/magazine subscriptions. Whoever mentioned substacks as a gift is brilliant.
Happy Holidays, Laura! It finally dawned on me this year to tell family members who want to buy me a present to get me a substack subscription. Because I don't need more shit in my house. And I want to support writers! Among the ones I am currently ponying up for are Girls of a Certain Age (Kim France, former EIC of Lucky Magazine, is so good); The Department of Salad (food writer Emily Nunn, who is our age and wrote for SO MANY newspapers plus the New Yorker, was recently told by the Washington Post to apply again when she gets more experience. She is the Queen of Salads plus posts great photos of her poodle, Cookie), and Starfucker (Liz Goldwyn of the MGM Goldwyns, is a writer, filmmaker, and collector of vintage clothes. Also Taylor Swift bought her family's legendary house and that whole story is amazing.)
Laura!! Thank you so much for recommending me 🥰 And I'm so glad that skirt is the purchase that keeps on giving! I love a murder mystery so you better believe I just pre-ordered! Can't wait for June ♥️
Gorgeous dress!

Smart woman.
Also that sweater dress…I die!

Thank you so much for including Burnt Toast on your list! Adore our community and feel so lucky you are a part of it. xx
Well, after that how could I not pre-order? Also the way my mind works I'll forget all about it and it will be a pleasant surprise this summer.
Love, love, LOVE that cover! Preordered! 🛳️🛳️🛳️
As you probably know covers can be quite the, um, journey, but the folks at HarperCollins knocked this one out of the park on the first try.
Most impressive!
Thanks for the recommends! I found one of your older books BUTCHER'S HILL in my stacks earlier this year. Loved it!

I also subscribe to GOAC and The Department of Salad, but now I'm curious about Starfucker.
Liz Goldwyn is RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY. She recently sold off a lot of her clothing archive and it's probably just as well you weren't looking then.
Glad that you are on Bluesky! I was missing your daily updates ❤️

A pre-order! All the good fairies will come to your christening. Thank you!
Thats what I was hoping for! 😘 I can't wait to read it!
Oh, if you want to see the wonderful skirt (along with some used Pradas), it was included in this newsletter: https://lauramlippman.substack.com/p/almost-everything-is-copy
How do you sleep listening to Bill Bryson? My favorite book of his is the one about Australia, and I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life.
You have to turn it down really low, so it's just a rumble in the distance.
You look absolutely beautiful!
Pre-ordered and too damn impatient!
Oldster is great, with a wide variety of interviews, many who are writers
