For everyone: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. You just gotta do it.
For people who want to better understand the realities of growing up a Black girl in America and/or love a good memoir: Somebody’s Daughter
Things that felt like guarantees big and small — a meal out, a quick shot (either kind), the ability to plan a trip with a friend — just aren’t anymore. Nothing works like it used to work. More importantly, it doesn’t work to push forward for the old way if the old way is gone.
If you’re a romance fan: you’ve gotta get into Jasmine Guillory’s collection. I enjoyed While We Were Dating, though it wasn’t my number one from her. If you’re a romance fan, I guess you might as well pick up Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation as well.
If you like all of the things I said I liked when writing about With Teeth: With Teeth by Kristen Arnett. If you like graphic novels and/or history: The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui
