I’m giving up regular TV watching again, so these lists should be longer again starting this month (I’m so not judgey about people who watch TV, it’s just that TV is definitely the enemy of pleasure reading in my life. And in the end reading makes me, personally, much happier than watching TV does.)
- A Practical Wedding: Creative Ideas for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable, and Meaningful Celebration
by Meg Keene. I loved this, you can read my full review here.
- 20 Under 40: Stories from The New Yorker
edited by Deborah Treisman. I’m a giant fan of contemporary short fiction, and the New Yorker always publishes some of the best, so it’s no surprise I loved this collection. Fun fact: Yiyun Li, one of the authors included, was my undergrad thesis adviser.
- Emily, Alone: A Novel
by Stewart O’Nan. Captivating in a quiet way. A pretty lovely look at what it’s like to be old in America, through the eyes of one woman.

Meg will be coming to Brooklyn soon, and we can’t wait to meet her and pick her brain! And of course, the New Yorker is, well, the New Yorker. Good luck putting it down!
