@dcpl LOVING Cokie: A Life Well Lived by her husband, Steven. Can you imagine your husband writing a chapter about your best friends in a book about your life? So nice. Also just started Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge and it's really compelling and great.

@dcpl Here's what I read on vacation: - The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams (pleasant but meh) - Off the Edge by Kelley Weill (a quick read about flat earthers and conspiracy culture that was very good) - Breasts by Florence Williams (10 year old pop science, skip it!)

Out of stock

“Among the titles put on pause are decades-old classics such as Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye,” as well as a nonfiction account of the Ku Klux Klan.” By ⁦@KnowlesHannah⁩ ⁦@hannah_natanson⁩ https://t.co/ybo1KdFbE4

Leaders have taken children's picture books like “In the Night Kitchen” by Maurice Sendak off the shelves, closed library board meetings to the public and stacked the library board w/conservative appointees — some of whom did not even have library cards. https://t.co/18jCd7hiPt

@likaluca You've probably read them all, but recently I really loved Amor Towles' The Lincoln Highway, Fredrik Backman's Anxious people, Colson Whitehead's Harlem Shuffle, Louise Erdich's The Night Watchman, Helene Wecker's The Golem and the Jinni and Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper.
