I remember reading Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” vividly! Couldn’t believe they were letting me read such a horror story in SCHOOL. It made such an impact on me and the power of story. https://t.co/IX6n2tHwaC

Danielle Prescod

Laurie Notaro

Laurie Notaro’s voice is everything, and her writing reminds me of my all-time favorite, Nora Ephron ... It’s empowering, candid, and perfect for anyone in your life who’s facing the other side of 50 with irreverence.

Kismet: A Thriller

Amina Akhtar
Mindy KalingMindy Kaling

I’m loving this gripping thriller set in the desert mountains of Sedona. It’s a sardonic, twisty take on ‘finding your best self,’ told from the perspective of lifelong New Yorker Ronnie Khan, who’s beginning to question her luxe new lifestyle in an Arizona wellness community.
