Top Ten Longreads of 2012 - The Queens of Montague Street

I woke up this morning to an email from Mark Armstrong, who curates Longreads, which I think is the best long-form site online. It is also where early last year, The Queens of Montague Street was chosen as a read, and then as article of the week.

Today, it's up there as one of the Top 10 Longreads of 2012, Nonfiction. I am kind of god-smacked about this at the moment, because the company is so extraordinary, including last week's massive NYT article Snowfall: The Avalance at Tunnel Creek.The links to all the pieces are here. Or you can go spend the 99-cents on Queens right here, right now.

And while you're online, go join Longreads for $3 a month. It truly is the finest place to read the best stuff out there.
