Jessica Lahey Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Happy book birthday to two incredible writers, @thatkristen & @peggyorenstein! A Thousand Miles to Graceland is a delightful novel about a mother-daughter journey and Unraveling is the book I'd kill to write: making a sweater from sheep to knit and purl! https://t.co/MBtMaUSLwR

If your child is "different" & you don't know about @TiltParenting's book Differently Wired: Raising an Exceptional Child in a Conventional World, get on it. It's one of the resources I recommend most to audiences, a go-to resource I adore. https://t.co/7DjDenN56i https://t.co/k7Mc3Zbm7T

I am in awe of the feats of journalistic planning, organization, and labor that went in to producing The Vortex by @sgcarney & Jason Miklian. Can’t wait to talk about it on the #AmWriting podcast! It’s SO good. https://t.co/EKsMkpxQX8 https://t.co/bAVczpN9NK

When I spoke to a writing class last week, I raved about Pulitzer-winning NYT journalists @jodikantor & @mega2e's book, Chasing the Truth. It's an essential text / resource for all student journalists! This week, on the #AmWriting podcast. https://t.co/V7DvhRYdhr https://t.co/xrhNwfta8p

This new book by @annabdavid, ON GOOD AUTHORITY, is going to be a book I recommend over and over again to writers looking to become experts in their fields. It’s so practical and helpful! #AmWriting https://t.co/wcXP4pfzVI https://t.co/qOmGFOyhdL

Listening to @StephenKing’s new novel, FAIRY TALE, & I’m delighted. It’s pure joy & manages to capture the magic we English teachers know well, watching kids grow up, discover the well of shared human stories, & muster the courage to slay their dragons. https://t.co/h5D3q9IhdJ
