My favorite finds from around the web:
• The next right step. “I rolled it around in my mind and tried it on for size. It felt…right.”
• Tana French: By the book. (Because I can’t wait for The Trespasser to come out next week!) “I don’t read anything that wants to tell me the secret of life/success/happiness/enlightenment.”
• My son, the Prince of Fashion. “I took my son to Paris Fashion Week, and all I got was a profound understanding of who he is, what he wants to do with his life, and how it feels to watch a grown man stride down a runway wearing shaggy yellow Muppet pants.” by Michael Chabon.
• Britain releases postage stamps embedded with hidden clues to honor Agatha Christie. “Mystery lovers can use UV light, body heat, or a magnifying glass to search for clues from each book that are embedded into the stamps using microtext and heat-sensitive and UV inks.”
• New Book of the Month selections are out today. View the full list here. October selections include 3 of my 20 books everyone will be talking about this fall.
Use the code BOTM5 to get a 1-month membership for $5, or the code 30TOTE to get 30% off 3 months plus a free tote bag. (Affiliate links, but I’m a paying member. I started with the 30% off for 3 months and then converted to a 12-month membership to get the best deal long-term.)
On the blog:

Four years ago: Balance isn’t a see-saw. It’s a game of twister.
Have a great weekend!

Anne~I look forward to this post every week. I always learn something new, and it’s fun to go back and catch up on articles I haven’t seen before. Thanks!
Those stamps sound like so much fun!
Thanks for linking to my post, lady! I appreciate it. Also, I can’t wait for us to read The Trespasser so we can discuss it.
My son, the prince of fashion was SO very interesting! THANKS for sharing it!
