Reading 1 book every 3 days in 2024 is quite a feat! Love your list.

Thanks -- but I feel like it's more in bursts in reality;) Go on vacation, read a bunch, etc;)

Always love your lists Claire. Poisonwood Bible is one of my all time faves too. Did you ever read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle?

Adding Trust to the top of my 2025 list!

Love. Thanks so much for sharing. Excited to dive in to your list. Have you read Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson? It’s beautiful. Add it to your list.

One other non fiction that is older but is incredible is What Happened to You. Check in out on audio book. I’ve oddly listened to it now three times and I find it insightful and thought provoking, especially given the work that we do.
