NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #65 of #GMGReads. Every night through this weird time, I& #39;m tweeting out a list of my five favorite books around a general theme—and a link to an indie bookstore where you can order them online....
It& #39;s Tuesday—and did know almost all books in the US are published on Tuesdays? I& #39;ve tried to highlight great new books being published in this strange time, like my friend Kate Brower& #39;s ( @katebrower) TEAM OF FIVE, on the club of living presidents.... https://bookshop.org/books/team-of-five-the-presidents-club-in-the-age-of-trump/9780062668974">https://bookshop.org/books/tea...
So tonight here are five other brand new and new-ish books I ordered today from @bookshop_org, which helps supports indie bookstores across the country:
1) I am *very* excited for Bart Gellman& #39;s ( @bartongellman) DARK MIRROR, out today, about Edward Snowden and his interactions with America& #39;s surveillance state, which sounds fascinating and vital and is by an awesome reporter: https://bookshop.org/books/dark-mirror-edward-snowden-and-the-american-surveillance-state/9781594206016">https://bookshop.org/books/dar...
2) I also purchased Jia Lynn Yang& #39;s ( @jialynnyang) new history over America& #39;s epic struggle over immigration, ONE MIGHTY AND IRRESISTIBLE TIDE, which I& #39;ve been looking forward to this spring: https://bookshop.org/books/one-mighty-and-irresistible-tide-the-epic-struggle-over-american-immigration-1924-1965/9780393635843">https://bookshop.org/books/one...
3) I& #39;ve also had several friends enjoy Lily King& #39;s ( @lilykingbooks) WRITERS & LOVERS, about transitional moments in life—it evidently has a great section on the writing process and how books come to life: https://bookshop.org/books/writers-lovers/9780802148537">https://bookshop.org/books/wri...
4) Joanne McNeil& #39;s ( @jomc) LURKING fills an important void in tech writing, offering a user& #39;s perspective and history of the rise of the internet and how "people" were transformed into "users": https://bookshop.org/books/lurking-how-a-person-became-a-user/9780374194338">https://bookshop.org/books/lur...
5) Deirdre Mask& #39;s ( @Deirdre_Mask) THE ADDRESS BOOK looks at how geography is destiny, and how in what purports to be a free, open nation of opportunity our street addresses actually betray a great deal about our race, wealth, and power: https://bookshop.org/books/the-address-book-what-street-addresses-reveal-about-identity-race-wealth-and-power/9781250134769">https://bookshop.org/books/the...
Those are tonight& #39;s #GMGReads and my latest purchases from @Bookshop_Org. What books are you excited about this spring? Share! #avidreadersunite
