Adele Griffin is a two time National Book Award Finalist and the author of some of our most haunting and unforgettable young adult novels.Her latest novel is All You Never Wanted.
Last month I asked Griffin what she was reading. Her reply:
I've got a book of poems I just finished, called Spit Back a Boy, by Iain Haley Pollock. I got to meet Iain a few weeks ago, just knew his work would be thoughtful-- it is. And my friend has me hooked reading the first volume of journals of Virginia Woolf-- this isn'tVisit Adele Griffin’s website and Facebook page.really a book you dive into and forget about the world. I keep the book in the kitchen, it's a tea and read style book. But I can feel her life in quiet moments, in who she meets and what she has for tea....
I am finishing Unbreak My Heart by my friend Melissa Walker, this is a lovely summer getting-over-a-romance story, set on a sailboat, I love Melissa's wry lighthearted style in this book. And I'm about to start the David Foster Wallace biography, Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story, on several people's recommendation. And by the end of the month,I hope I've read May We Be Forgiven by AM Homes and Ask the Passengers by A.S. King. Finally, I need to finish Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain. It's so insightful, but I read it slowly, in pieces, and then give myself time to think about it. That's what we introverts do.
