The Last Thing He Told Me
Laura Dave
@juliadahl @andibartz Yes! Because things always change. Laura Dave wrote five books before The Last Thing He Told Me, and I'm pretty sure none of them were NYT bestsellers.

I'll Be You
Janelle Brown
Clearly the biggest news of today is that I'LL BE YOU is out in paperback, with a cool new cover. Not sure what else is happening. Nothing earth shattering, right? https://t.co/DAcUoFcEr5

The Puzzle Box
Danielle Trussoni
I had the pleasure of reading this book in our writers group and can attest that it is indeed a delightful puzzle box of a thriller. If you love smart adventure mysteries full of complex secrets like The Da Vinci Code, this is the book for you!

The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness
Jonathan Haidt
What an important book this is, a sobering and eye opening look at what the smartphone age has done to our minds - and the minds of kids... even though it’s something I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, I was still shocked at some of the evidence that @jonathanhaidt pieces together.

The Lioness
Chris Bohjalian
Happy pub day to @chrisbohjalian, who wrote this absolutely killer book (and so many others), and who is a literary inspiration to me, and who also happens to be one of the most generous authors around.
