Facing decades-old trauma to help the next generation. The last of Boyne‘s four novella series. All intertwined, all explore abuse and trauma. Very thoughtfully crafted.

A situation arises where a “retired” getaway driver needs a bunch of money, fast. Pretty typical Cosby, but we like it. Things go awry, and our guy has a moral conundrum.

Susan Powell‘s story. This is very disturbing from the newlywed start. Creeps beget freaking creeps. There is ZERO doubt what happened, and yet, ZERO justice. These types of cases are utterly infuriating. Grabbed this after listening to a recent episode of Murder in America Podcast.

A study of new age spirituality. More cultish goodness (eh, weirdness), if you will. Fascinating, and well researched. Thanks to my friend Sarah Stewart Holland via a recent Pantsuit Politics pod episode!

An American history of cult ideology: legitimate cults, fringe groups, and general things that make you go “hmmmm.” An oddly fun, and truly riveting read. If you know me well, you‘re familiar with my fascination with human behavior. Definitely recommend!

Current front runner for my best nonfiction read of 2025. This is going to piss you off, but it‘s an important read, so please I urge you to pick it up. So many scandals. These companies DO NOT CARE. They just don‘t. Please also add Empire of Pain by the incredible Patrick Radden Keefe to your TBR, if you haven‘t read it yet.

The Names: A Novel | Florence Knapp
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I didn‘t read the synopsis and was confused as shit at first. Don‘t be like me! I often skip to avoid possible spoilers, but I needed the heads up for this one. Once I got a grasp, I thought the writing was quite good, but the use of domestic abuse by way of different name choices, felt too gimmicky for me. Was it bad? No, of course not. But did it live up to the hype, also, no. Did we have a solid #bookclub discussion, though? Yes.

Cathythoughts I thought it was confusing, but very good too. We also read for Bookclub and had a great discussion. 6d
TheEllieMo I did read the blurb, so I was expecting to read about how someone‘s name might affect how they perceive themselves and how others perceive them, but it was more about the influence of the father‘s reaction 6d
britt_brooke @Cathythoughts It‘s a great book club pick for sure! 5d
britt_brooke @TheEllieMo Right, I thought it might delve into the actual child more. 5d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Picture it: 2064, post war. California is not part of America. The service industry is largely run by sophisticated robots. After an extended shut down period, the robots must figure out how to survive. Is it a “national emergency or corporate bullshit?” This is a scathing satire of so many things, and done expertly in a short page count. Clever, effective, and unique. And my favorite cover of 2025!

BarbaraBB Sounds very good! 6d

Randomly stumbled upon this book. Never heard of this author, nor this serial killer. Which sadly shows just how many have existed in this country especially in the decades prior to technological advancements in DNA testing, etc. A decent read. We owe it to the victims to hear these heinous stories.

Ladyparts: A Memoir | Deborah Copaken
post image
Mehso-so

⭐️⭐️.5

I appreciate how Copaken exposes the myriad broken systems in this country. And placing emphasis on how women are just expected to deal with things quietly, which is garbage. She‘s right about that stuff. But she is also insufferable and exhausting. Often doesn‘t take responsibility for anything negative in her life. Zero problem solving skills. Additionally, this desperately needed editing down. I‘m a memoir fan, but this wasn‘t for me.

Not Quite Dead Yet | Holly Jackson

Panpan

⭐️⭐️

Die now or die in a week? Maybe you‘ll like this if you excel at suspending belief. Idk. I love Jackson‘s YA books, but this adult debut simply felt like YA but with slightly older characters. I guess I expected the writing to be more complex, more grown up. If the plot hadn‘t sucked, maybe I would be less critical. A disappointing experience for me.

Matilda It‘s a YA book that they changed the ages to 28+ and labeled it adult — it drove me mad while reading it. It should have been a YA. 6d
britt_brooke @Matilda Completely agree! 6d
Bette Glad I bailed early now. Just couldn‘t stick with it. 6d

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Cute follow up to Clueless: Senior Year. Here, Cher, Tai, and Dionne get into some last-summer-before-college shenanigans, mystery solving, party planning, relationship stuff. Fun story told in the appropriate vernaculars and vocabularies. Bonus enjoyment if you can read each character in the actors‘ voices.

Mixed feelings on this one. Unique premise, good writing, but Annie frustrated me to death. Starting with waiting until nine months pregnant to buy a crib. That set the tone for me. Aside from that, the story is creative, but ultimately unsatisfying.

Imagine having to hide yourself for fear of your life. Think about that, truly. I don‘t know what that feels like. Reading builds empathy. You don‘t have to understand gender identity in order to be respectful and kind to others. People who aren‘t exactly like you don‘t have to be a threat. They are just living, too. This is a very thoughtful, and thought-provoking read.

I‘ve been meaning to read Bell Hooks for so long. Public love, private love, self-love. Hooks examines society, culture, and the everyday role love plays in our lives. This is by no means all-encompassing, but I found it personally relatable. Fun fact: she is (was) from the midpoint between where I was born and where I currently live.

I had a hard time getting into this. I kept thinking of Just Mercy, which is an incredible read and focuses on one main case. Each story here was mind-bogglingly infuriating, but started to run together for me. I should‘ve just read one story each day; should‘ve dipped in and out. My focus was off. I do think I‘d like a full book on a couple of the cases. A good nonfiction #bookclub pick regardless of my experience.

I haven‘t seen a single episode of America‘s Next Top Model, but pop culture memoirs are fascinating, and I love getting book recs from Sounds Like a Cult Pod. Hartshorne, a “plus-sized” contestant on ANTM: Cycle 9, speaks to her experience, specifically regarding the models‘ treatment, and the incessant harassment about her size and where she fits.

Too much telling, not enough showing. Grossly underdeveloped characters. No backstory. No explanation for time, place, or why the show exists. Nothing to make me care what happened. Maybe if I watched reality dating shows, the satire would‘ve landed? Was this satire? I don‘t even know. It wasn‘t clever nor humorous. Want a dystopian competition reality show with a solid message? Try Chain-Gang All-Stars.

I wasn‘t planning to read this until I had the sweetest conversation with Coco Mellors. She was so charming and lovely, I had to. It‘s now my top read of the year! After one sister‘s tragic death, the remaining Blue Sisters‘ lives diverge and boomerang. Grief, addiction, what-ifs, and now-whats. Utterly painful and beautiful. Mellors handled these characters so gently, but also held them accountable. ⬇️

As a pretty avid nonfiction reader, and politically opinionated American, it‘s my personal duty to read such examinations. Although the writing is mediocre and repetitive, it‘s a decent companion to the Walter Isaacson biography, if you‘re willing to dive fully in. Erratic, chaotic, narcissistic, and dangerously influential. I‘m obvs no Musk fan.

Amiable I have the Isaacson bio but haven‘t been able to muster the enthusiasm to read it yet. I detest Musk. 2mo
britt_brooke @Amiable He‘s truly awful. The Isaacson biography is worth a read if/when you feel up to you. I read it when it came out, before all the recent shit. But mostly I picked it up because of Isaacson. 2mo
Amiable @britt_brooke Isaacson is why I also picked it up —before the 2024 election and the DOGE bullshit. I was feeling like, welp, I‘ll never read it now. 😖 But I‘m hanging onto it—maybe with time I‘ll be able to stomach it . 2mo

Amity Gaige speaks about her inspiration for Heartwood, citing this book specifically, so I had to read it, too. Geraldine Largay became lost while hiking the Appalachian Trail. In order to keep herself alert and going, she wrote heartfelt letters to family in her journal, which were found upon discovering her body. It‘s a weird story, but very worthwhile.

I was fortunate enough to attend a book club session with Amity Gaige during the Read With Jenna Book Festival. Hearing her speak about her inspiration and process had me so excited to read this. Her passion came through on the page. Yes, it‘s a story about a lost hiker, but it‘s much more. The perfect mixture of adventure, friendship, mystery, and homage. Well fleshed characters, too. Loved it!
