The Last Summer of the World
My dear, dear friend Emily Mitchell’s debut novel, The Last Summer of the World, comes out on June 18th. I’m lucky enough to be one of Emily’s draft readers, so got to see this book develop from extremely promising early draft to stunning finished work. It’s a beautiful novel, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Please do check it out.
Emily has two readings coming up: one in LA on June 15th and then another in San Francisco on June 21st. You can get the full details on the events page of her site.
I followed your link over to Amazon. Your friend’s novel sounds very compelling. I have always loved Steichen’s photographs, but know very little of his early years. I’ll add the book to my summer reading list.
Happy First Birthday to Thumper!

I followed the link ordered your friends book–I always have an interesting read with your suggestions. And new authors are so exciting to read. Now if I could just get it signed…
And I love photography so this piqued my interest right away.

I added it to my summer reading list and my Amazon list. Who am I kidding though? I probably won’t get to it until Winter. I will read it though.
Happy birthday to the little one!

Happy Birthday, Thumper!
I have a recipe for a great oatmeal chocolate cake that can be made into a vegan cake. It’s my boyfriend’s favourite and mine, too (ok, maybe I like the Hershey’s chocolate cake just a smidge more). Just email me and I can send it to you.
Great post about the books, too. I’m reading A Suitable Boy. Almost 1500 pages of young love, angst and tradition. Marvelous!
Cheers. Pam
