It’s March and the first day really felt like it. The temperatures soared to around 60 and everyone rushed outside to soak up the sun. Leah and I enjoyed bagels and iced coffee in McCarren Park with a healthy dose of people and pet watching, before wandering around and window shopping. The wind picked up by mid afternoon, but Dale and I bundled up and walked across the Williamsburg bridge for pizza. By evening, the real feel was in the 20s again and it was time for hats, gloves, and layers.

Monica HeiseyThe author of Really Good, Actually on Being Alive from the musical Company, by Stephen SondheimMy favourite love song is maybe a little untraditional in that it’s not addressed to a specific love object.

2023 wasn't just a great year for books: it was also a great year for movies — we had movies that were grandiose and intimate, movies that made us yearn and movies that made us cringe (complimentary). For the second year in a row, we wanted to bring you a list of books to pair with your favorite movie from 2023. No matter what flavor you prefer — whether it be stories about summer camp or basketball shoes or creepy children's toys — we've got a book to match.

This coming Saturday, August 19, is one of our all-time, absolute-favorite holidays: Bookstore Romance Day. This year, to celebrate, we asked one of our romance experts, bookseller Katherine M., to recommend some of her recent favorite reads that would pair well with whatever mood you’ve been finding yourself in, whether that’s streaming the most recent sad-times bop, moodily swiping left on Hinge, or thoroughly enjoying the latest blockbuster romp.
