Louise Penny gives us a tour of her book collection. Her dogs come, too. Louise Penny invites us inside her home, showing us her favorite books and memorabilia. Her 20th mystery novel, โ€˜The Black Wolfโ€™ came out last month.

This is the article that book lovers and dog lovers need to read today. @washingtonpost.com

Thanks, Sarasota County Library. I had the best time yesterday talking books, TV, dread, and how I wrote the WORST first novel ever published, bar none. Also? Got to have lunch with pals from high school and drinks with a pal from college! I just write books to do stand-up.

What is most grating is Vanceโ€™s PR flack tic of saying (often multiple times in an answer) the interviewerโ€™s name. Itโ€™s a way to feign camaraderie while stalling to frame his response. In Vanceโ€™s case, it always comes across as condescending and smug. I had my sleazy lawyer do this in WATER WITCHES.
