I dunno what’s been up with new releases lately but I’ve been having so much more fun with backlist - the god of the woods excluded!! Maybe buzzy is the wrong thing for your brain right now 🤓
How about an under-the-radar biography? Last month I listened to The Editor, by Sara B. Franklin about Judith Jones. You might know Jones as the woman who edited Julia Child? The book was really well done and I learned so much - for sure plenty of behind the scenes about Julia, but also how Jones really made "cookbooks" a thing starting in the 1960's. And all she accomplished as an editor (obviously hugely under appreciated). In addition to every well-known figure from cooking in from 1960-1990, she also edited Anne Tyler, Sharon Olds, John Updike (and over two full pages of other authors)! The audio was great, too.

Have you read The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce yet? I'm partway through and absolutely loving it.
I loved her debut! Still need to read Ex Vows though

Ooo nonfiction might be a good idea!
