This is just *one* of the myths about ‘baby brain’ & motherhood that science reporter Chelsea Conaboy busts in her new book, Mother Brain. Really excited to have her on Doing It Right in a few weeks and until then, read this piece by her in @nytimes https://t.co/8BOtg2htz8

The Vanishing Half: A GMA Book Club Pick (a Novel)

Brit Bennett

Blown away by Brit Bennett's new novel, The Vanishing Half, published by @dialoguebooks on 2nd June. I adored Brit's debut, The Mothers, and this one is just as winsome. It's about a set of twins who run away aged 16 and enter new lives: one white, one black (and much more, obvs)
