  • My favorite place to go in the city is the lakefront. Lake Michigan sit’s directly to the east, and I love to look at the open water.

  • What book are you reading right now? Where The Crawdad’s Sing

  • Right now, I am reading The Book Thief. I like that the protagonist is a girl.

  • Station 11

    Station Eleven. It is very, very good.

  • The Light We Carry

    I’m pretty far into The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama. I let her steadiness to settle something in me.

  • The Glass Castle

    I’m reading The Glass Castle, reminded of how complicated families can be.

  • Project Hail Mary

    I’m deep into Project Hail Mary, cheering for a fictional astronaut because his determination is contagious.

  • Pachinko

    I’m reading Pachinko, watching generations push through circumstances they never chose.

  • The Girl on the Train

    I’m halfway through The Girl on the Train, loving the messy realism even when it feels uncomfortable.

    I’m reading You Are a Badass, and it’s pushing me to change the way I talk to myself.
