It is one of my greatest joys in life to be a person people occasionally turn to for book recs. It’s part of the territory for people with CW degrees, I suppose. In making these recommendations, I realized there’s a handful of books that I will typically cycle through when making suggestions, based on what I know about the person’s interests or patience or even politics.
Then I saw this article on Poets & Writers called PAGE ONE: WHERE NEW AND NOTEWORTHY BOOKS BEGIN. It gives just the first line, no review or notes. Reading it felt like browsing the first page in a bookstore aisle, which is the only way to choose properly. So, here’s a little taster of the books I am most likely to recommend should you ask!

Happy reading!
