So far 2025 has been a chaotic and stressful year for obvious reasons, but books are keeping me going. I just read two nonfiction books that made me think of the boundless possibilities of the genre: I AM, I AM, I AM by Maggie O’Farrell and THE UNDOCUMENTED AMERICANS by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio.

Thank you to Kirkus for the starred review! ✨✨✨ “Throughout, the essays are marked with love, honesty, and exquisite writing. With tenderness and aplomb in equal measure, these essays plumb the depths of paternal relations.” www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Maggie Nelson has a new book coming out that's described as "something of a companion piece to 2009's BLUETS." !!!! www.wavepoetry.com/products/pat...

@readandbreathe.bsky.social’s first book went viral and has gone to multiple printings for a reason! WHAT MY FATHER AND I DON’T TALK ABOUT is going to be an absolute banger. The bookends to all our trauma: Mom AND Dad!

What are you reading to kick off 2025? I read BLUE LIGHT HOURS by Bruna Dantas Lobato, a novel as deceptively quiet as the snow-covered Vermont campus where it's mostly set. It's a moving portrayal of a close-knit relationship between a mother & daughter as they keep in touch over Skype.

HOT AIR by @mdermansky.bsky.social, INVERNO by Cynthia Zarin, and I’m still undecided on the rest of my vacation reading. I have so many books in my TBR piles!

Esquire’s loss is someone else’s massive gain. Adrienne is one of the brightest, sharpest, most talented editors in the business. And she has exquisite literary taste. I’m hoping that another excellent outlet hires her!

Started this book last night and can’t put it down. It’s exactly what I’m in the mood for.

Did you know The Bell Jar, The Handmaid's Tale, The Feminine Mystique, and more all appeared on Sesame Street in the 90s? The @muppetwiki.bsky.social team finally created a page for my favorite little-known running gag: Prairie Dawn's Feminist Literature collection muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Prairie...

I signed up for Bluesky and then didn't use it for a long time. But @katekilla.bsky.social encouraged me to give it a try, so I'm back on the app! Looking forward to connecting with other writers and bookworms.

Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate my 40th! My thirties were centered around figuring out how to set boundaries & create the life that I want. As I enter my next decade, I’m grateful for the clarity that comes from lived experience & the ❤️ I feel for & from my friends, family, and boyfriend.

I’m turning 40 in two months, so I’m thinking about all of the goals I’d like to accomplish over the next decade. For those of you in your forties or older: tell me your favorite thing about being that age!
