Memoir-style stories interspersed with educational observations about American marriage culture with a dash of church shame. Less about Christian fundamentalism so much as general societal expectations. Lenz maps out the journey of reclaiming individual identity, as a woman who had spent her whole life trying to be good instead of being herself.
Gift it to the women you know in unhappy marriages who need the courage to leave.

This is such an excellent story, with very deep themes presented very clearly and compellingly around belonging, avoidance, favoritism and navigating culture and friendships. Great book for kids in the 10-13 range.

An accessible chronological account of the Twitter takeover and major players. Very short chapters, easily readable, engaging. I think readers should have some familiarity with how Twitter worked; it never gets into anything too technical, and there’s only background discussion about Dorsey’s vision and the beginnings. For a more in-depth account I’d recommend Battle for the Bird, but if you want a play-by-play recap with direct comments and reporting from former employees, this is a great and it’s a quick read.

This is a mindfulness book disguised as a book about productivity; it will completely shift how you think about every time management tip you’ve ever read, because it’s fundamentally about a mindset shift. If you’re an entrepreneur constantly running on the hamster wheel of someday work-life balance, you need to drop everything and read this.
I have a massive TBR list, so I’m not sure that I’ve ever wanted to turn around and start reading the same book again, but it’s absolutely how I feel about this one. I read fast, but this is the kind of book that asks you to sit with it and digest what the ideas mean for your own life. This is going to be my top pick of 2023.
