NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #65 of #GMGReads. Every night through this weird time, I'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's Tuesday—and did know almost all books in the US are published on Tuesdays? I've tried to highlight great new books being published in this strange time, like my friend Kate Brower'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
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's ( @bartongellman) DARK MIRROR, out today, about Edward Snowden and his interactions with America'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
2) I also purchased Jia Lynn Yang's ( @jialynnyang) new history over America's epic struggle over immigration, ONE MIGHTY AND IRRESISTIBLE TIDE, which I'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
3) I've also had several friends enjoy Lily King'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
4) Joanne McNeil's ( @jomc) LURKING fills an important void in tech writing, offering a user'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
5) Deirdre Mask'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
Those are tonight's #GMGReads and my latest purchases from @Bookshop_Org. What books are you excited about this spring? Share! #avidreadersunite
