Hello again! Love a post about good news and books. Shared your good news with a couple of Austin pals! Your book list is great. I especially liked your own mentions of Levy, Lockwood, and Gay. I almost singularly write about the books I read (here https://aseverm.com/read) but thought I'd list a few that remind me of the ones you named.
I just finished Cathy Park Hong's Minor Feelings. I finished an essay each morning and felt my brain come more alive.

Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, The Human Story Changes by Elizabeth Lesser
Anything Claudia Rankine does
You might enjoy Writers and Lovers by Lily King
Know My Name by Chanel Miller
Anything by Carmen Maria Machado
Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf by Helene Cooper
Thanks for sharing these recs Micaela! I'd love to read all of these, but Know My Name and Minor Feelings are high up on my to-read list (though the list just gets longer and longer every day). Also, morning reading is truly the best way to start the day.
