I loved Americanah. I am disheartened that CNA more or less doubled down on her anti-trans views…and now seeing her new book recommended everywhere with no mention of that. Especially in a time when trans rights and dignity are being thrown under the bus.
Ohhh! Sign me up for Deep Cuts, Any Trope But You, Favorite Daughter, Sunny Side Up... okay now there are too many to keep listing! I can't wait for the girlies to pop off on their faves!
These are all excellent places to start (I've read 3/4 of them, but FAVORITE DAUGHTER is very high on my list to get to, the premise sounds so unique and ripe for drama)
I’m a fiction editor at a tiny literary magazine, and I worked with Morgan Dick, who is lovely, on a wonderful short story she submitted. I can’t wait for Favorite Daughter!
ok paid content suggestion: unveil your incredibly impressive notion set up for tracking *all this* bc it is kind of mind blowing
So it's actually not MY set up. I got a template from this newsletter:
https://writingbeyondthepage.substack.com/p/my-portable-reading-journal-for-remembering
But then just added in one additional sheet for forthcoming releases that I've been using to track as my ALT to goodreads "want to read."
I still think it’s cool and counts!!
A new Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! how did I not know! So excited

Adiche's new release is one of my most anticipated for the year!
added so many to my "Notify Me" tag on libby!
The subtitle 🤣 can’t say we weren’t warned
Need to think on next weeks. "Gird-er your TBR" doesn't have the same ring.
😂 Gird GIRD your TBR.
Thank you for doing this! I just marked so many to read on Goodreads!
Honestly, the best compliment I could get on a letter like this.
What a post! What a year of good books!
These are soooooo great oh my god. How am I going to read all of these
I feel the same!!! And we haven’t even gotten through the whole list!
Thank you so much for all your work on this! So many I hadn’t heard of (and quickly added to my TBR!)❤️
Added so much to my Goodreads! Thank you!

Love it!!
thank you for your service - and for the distraction from work.
It's making me giddy that so many of you are as excited about this list as I am. Clearly, I have found my people. Ready for even more next week!!
Just here to say, that I love your substack (and podcast of course), and I'm happy to be a paid subscriber<3 keep it up Becca!
Thank you, Sara!
