I read fiction, essays, memoirs, some poetry, some history. These days, I'm listening to a lot of audiobooks because it turns out there's nothing like a pandemic to give me anxious fidgets and a lack of focus! This way I can keep my hands busy, and rewind if I miss something. I've included links where possible to libro.fm where you can download audiobooks with great readers, and benefit your favorite bookstore instead of the richest man on earth.

Isabel Wilkerson is a true master of the kind of non-fiction writing that makes normally difficult concepts seem obvious. You know this already if you have read her Warmth of Other Suns. The opening chapter reads like an apocalyptic novel, which is wonderful if you're listening ( Caste - Libro.fm ) because the reader is the fantastic Robin Miles, who also reads many (possibly all?) of the audio adaptations of N.K. Jemisin's novels. ( The Broken Earth Series - Libro.fm )

Catherine Lacey is one of my absolute favorite writers. She translates loneliness onto the page in magical ways, and cuts up culture mercilessly. I don't quite know what to say about this book, except that it brings the concept of otherness forward in your consciousness, and calls every character (including you, me, the reader) on the peculiar desire to identify and categorize. Despite that seriousness, it is a joy to read.

Leave it to the author of the entrancing collection Her Body and Other Parties to follow up with an equally groundbreaking deconstructed/shattered memoir. It serves as a critique of the format and a historical investigation of abuse in queer relationships, at the same time as retelling her relationship with an abusive woman at a critical time in her life as a writer. READ IT.

Twelve truly thought-provoking essays on what it means to have justice -- and what is required of us to make justice possible -- through the lenses of gender, race, ecology, violence, and more. There are no clear answers here, but plenty of the right kind of question.

Jen Beagins first, Whiting award-winning novel follows Mona on what amounts to a personal odyssey of self-discovery. Nearly 24 at the start, she's living in Massachusetts, dating "Mr. Disgusting," and cleaning houses for characters you have to believe are real, because who could make them up? Winds, fair and foul, take her to New Mexico, where she keeps cleaning, working to scrub that man right out of her grout. With the help of Terry Gross, Yoko & Yoko, big open skies, red dirt and the right kind of drugs, she's on her way. This is one of the truest and funniest coming-of-age novels I've ever read. I fell hard for Mona, and I hope you do, too.
