When guest host Catharine Richert thinks back to her childhood summers, an image that comes to mind immediately is sitting on her front porch in North Carolina reading. She devoured everything from “The Babysitters Club” and Nancy Drew books, to “The Catcher in the

Rye” and “Clan of the Cavebear” (which she borrowed from her mom’s shelves.) 

That lazy feeling of reading without an agenda or a timeline is something she’s trying to bring back into her chaotic life. And weirdly enough, the pandemic has allowed her to make space for this. 

For Richert, this summer, it was “Ask Again, Yes” by Mary Beth Keane that she just adored and has been recommending to everyone.
