Where do you read the most, and how do you make the time? Molly: I read while eating and while commuting on the subway. Multitasking! Here’s my calculus: reading makes me happier than going to the gym or cooking elaborate meals or, uh, any other hobby, so I prioritize it over anything else that I could theoretically be doing. Joana: I've noticed my phone makes me read less, and my boyfriend makes me read more. He consumes about twelve books a week, so when I'm next to him, I truly better bring a book. reads : reads is founded by two bffs! When did the two of you meet and what's it like working together? Molly: We met in college when we dated the same guy. (Not at the same time we dated him sequentially.) He evaporated from the picture rather immediately and we became friends after college. I always knew Joana was the marshmallow to my cocoa. Joana: My friendship and workship with Molly is something I want on display at all times, like a forehead tattoo. If you had told me a decade ago that Molly and I would one day meld our brains and birth a book together, I would not necessarily have believed you but I would have been completely envious and utterly enamored of that vision. I always admired her from a far, so now I love getting to admire her up close. Everything I thought about her was true, but even better. reads : What has been the biggest high and biggest low of creating and launching your book ? Molly: High: bonding with my co authoress and gaining access to her treasure trove of a brain. Low: constantly refreshing the author portal sales data to see if we’ve sold any books. Unhealthy habit. Joana: The constant high was working with Molly and revealing in our deluxe kinship. The only low that I can think of was in the beginning, trying to make finished illustrations for the book before we had really solidified it's look. It felt like walking on an imaginary bridge that hadn't been built, but knowing you wouldn't fall. reads : What are each of you currently reading now? Molly: Andrew Martin’s Early Work is a scrumptious novel about being a youngish person. He’s like a male Laurie Colwin, which is all I ever want in a novelist. It is coming out this summer but you can, and should, pre order it. There will be underlining. Also reading Marcy Dermansky’s Bad Marie (sultry, wicked, highly recommended) and rereading Amelie Nothomb’s Fear and Trembling , which is the ultimate workplace novel and you can read it in about 10 seconds. Joana: I often read whatever Molly tells me too (I just ordered Bad Marie ). Right now I'm reading Speak, Memory , Nabokov's memoirs, because I've run out of his other books, and because I'm a loser who likes all my sentences tied up in quippy little sun bleached bows with butterflies on top. That sort of stylish writing is like getting to take a nap in one of those cordoned off baroque bedrooms in a museum; indulgence mixed with trespassing. reads : What are you both working on now, any exciting future plans you can share? Molly: Writing a screenplay with my husband that I can only describe as a real estate thriller stay tuned! And pray for us to finish. Joana: I'm pushing along my usual wheelbarrow of jobs, which tips my brain in a myriad of directions. I'm also attempting to put nose to paper on a book of illustrated essays (about which this sentence contains a hint!) star star A copy of their latest book, link D C T is included as a bonus in addition to the 2 books in the June reads box sign up link HERE with code readsnews for a special discount less 3 link link link greater reads on social greater once you receive this month's reads tag us on on social at reads dot delivery link and tag your BFF.
