Can't Stop Thinking: How to Let Go of Anxiety and Free Yourself from Obsessive Rumination
Nancy Colier
Looked up Abigail Shrier's book on Amazon for a thing I'm writing, and right in the middle of assorted anti-trans texts was a book called Can't Stop Thinking: How to Let Go of Anxiety and Free Yourself from Obsessive Rumination, and I guess that says it all.

The Cruelty Is the Point: The Past, Present, and Future of Trump's America
Adam Serwer
Adam Serwer said it better when he said "The cruelty is the point," but he is not held back by writing 3,000 word Glee recaps that ruined all ability to be concise.

The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick
Matt Haig
I have been thinking a lot about how many stories about getting to try on another life are just about preserving the status quo. But that bugs me! https://emilyvdw.letterdrop.com/p/the-midnight-library-matt-haig-review?utm=S9i5i6OPR8
