20. So many great books recommended this week.
Sun Mar 22, 2026, 04:29 PM
Yesterday

I finished The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb, well written but so very tragic. Next up was This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper about a dysfunctional family sitting shiva, hilarious. Now I’m reading Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart, historical fiction about the Chamberlain-Kahn Act, or the American Plan (eugenics), terrifying because it’s well on its way to happening again.

Have a great week everyone!
