And here are several more new books I am excited to get my hands on today, including At Night All Blood Is Black by David Diop, The Arrest by Jonathan Lethem, and Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer. Megan Rapinoe’s memoir, One Life, is out now too, and it’s also the release day for my favorite true crime read of the year: We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence by Becky Cooper. And congratulations to former Rioter Melody Schreiber on the book birthday of What We Didn’t Expect: Personal Stories about Premature Birth ! That also reminds me that I want to read Loved and Wanted: A Memoir of Choice, Children, and Womanhood by Christa Parravani. Backlist bump: The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite (because they both involve stars!) Backlist bump: American Panda by Gloria Chao Backlist bump: Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear Tune in next week for more!
