   052 Lettie Collier, She Loves Books

   Lisa and Ashley are joined by Lettie Collier, who talks about how she learned English and to read at the same time, and how she's always had a book on her ever since. She talks about how her wild Little House on the Prairie obsession influenced her early fashion decisions. Her first favorite, however, was the classic The Monster at the End of This Book. She also discusses her love of Joan Didion, beautiful covers, and how she chooses books for her local speakeasy-style book club, The Literary Libations Society.
