Heartburn
Nora Ephron
#2 Heartburn by Nora Ephron If Ephron’s written it, I’m gonna read it. This is a largely non-fiction account (made fiction w changed names) from when her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant with their kid - it’s funny, whimsical, and heartbreaking. What a fun read! https://t.co/9LYvw7JNBs

Forever...
Judy Blume
since we’re talking about banning books that changed lives,“Forever” by Judy Blume accidentally making it’s way into my school library was the *only* proper sex-ed I received as a pre-teen.

The Year of Magical Thinking: National Book Award Winner
Joan Didion
She saved whatever was left of him through accompanied suicide, conducted at Dignitas, a facility in Zurich that allows people the right to die, terms and conditions applied. If you’ve read The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, this book is the antithesis of that.

Normal People
Sally Rooney
no one asked but the fact that Normal People is now canonical enough for there to be courses in colleges on 'Sally Rooney's brand of literature' really bothers me FOR literature because, and this is a hill I will die on, there is nothing special about that book.

Blue Nights: A Memoir
Joan Didion
#1 Blue Nights by Joan Didion. I ended my 2022 with The Year of Magical Thinking (about Didion's loss of her husband) and started it with the book that chronicles the death of her daughter. Raw, unfiltered, irrational, and heartbreaking. I tore through this one. https://t.co/jw5nuCip1c
