Trust (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Hernan Diaz
I'd heard Trust was good but I loved it SO much--so ambitious, so emotionally rich, so smart in all sorts of ways

Lessons in Chemistry
Bonnie Garmus
Meanwhile in the book world...this very buzzy 2022 novel Lessons in Chemistry is by Bonnie Garmus, a debut author in her 60s 🤗 I'm doubly lucky because I got a U.S. copy (the one on the left) and a U.K. copy https://t.co/5kywpq83bl

Love Poems for Married People
John Kenney
I'm a huge fan of this short and extremely funny collection. Yes, champagne, fancy clothes, and first kisses are lovely while they last, but I suspect this version of the domestic long haul is more recognizable to many of us, and Kenney captures it with hilarious specificity.

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
Claire Vaye Watkins
Just read the 2021 autofiction-ish novel I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness by Claire Vaye Watkins and it's incredible--blazingly smart and honest, fearless in ignoring the spoken and unspoken rules around the "likeability" of women, women protagonists, and women writers https://t.co/CtRVAHoUnM

Hello, Molly!: A Memoir
Molly Shannon
I just read and LOVED Molly Shannon's forthcoming memoir Hello, Molly! (co-written with the wonderful Sean Wilsey). It's heartbreaking and astonishing in places (she endured an early family tragedy) and also very warm and open and funny and conversational. Pub date 4/12 https://t.co/ka7P7yD40c
