  • Low pressure hook club

    Adriana Trigiani has organized the most low pressure book club for readers. She is an excellent hostess who asks insightful connections of the most interesting book creators. My one wish would be for consistent high quality audio equipment to be used. I have hearing challenges and the built in microphones on computers do not produce consistent or audible sound quality.

  • Interesting and fun

    Adriana does such a great job getting authors to talk about themselves as well as their books. I realize they are real people with many of the same struggles we have. Their characters show us ways to deal with those struggles.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lisa Jewell: It Could Have Been Her
Q: How did you find success in America, and what role did publishing partners play?
She credits aspirational publishers and strategic support from American bookshops, plus the cross-pond move facilitated by key figures like Mr. James Daunt and Barnes & Noble, in helping her reach a larger audience.
Lisa Jewell: It Could Have Been Her
Q: What's the next mountain to climb for you as an author?
Lisa explains she views opportunities as they arrive rather than chasing a single peak, having already achieved New York Times bestseller status and large tour events, and she remains open to new projects rather than forcefully seeking the next milestone.
Bruce Feiler: A Time to Gather
Q: What is the difference between temporary rituals and those that persist over time?
Rituals persist when they establish safe, sacred space with clear stakes and meaningful conflict resolution, fostering empathy and hope while adapting to changing social contexts.
Kathryn Stockett: The Calamity Club
Q: Tell us about the 17-year arc before The Calamity Club published.
The author describes living life, raising a child, dating another writer, and gradually returning to the manuscript project; she faced creative pressures and a publisher's push but ultimately found the right editor and a renewed commitment that allowed the story to come together after years of revision and research.
LIVE with La Lucci: A conversation with Susan Lucci
Q: Does everybody agree with that?
The group affirms her points about the influence of Agnes Nixon and the innovative storytelling on All My Children, underscoring the collaborative nature of TV production and Lucci's long career.
