NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #40 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....
Yesterday was National Book Day evidently, so what better way to end this week than buying some new books?!?! Buy a book, expand your world, save a job—all in one act! I just ordered these five books from @CityLightsBooks's storefront on @Bookshop_Org:
1) Ben Hubbard's (@NYTBen) new profile of the leader of Saudi Arabia "MBS" looks like a vital guide to one of the world's most influential rising autocrats: bookshop.org/books/mbs-the-…
2) For obvious reasons, I'm a snob about FBI books—I've read almost all of them—and it's been years since I've been as excited to read one as much as David Rohde's (@RohdeD) IN DEEP, which came out this week: bookshop.org/books/in-deep-…
3) It's not quite as new, but when I was asking Twitter earlier this week about the best book to understand the modern anti-gov militias and modern white supremacists, the universal consensus was Kathleen Belew's (@kathleen_belew) BRING THE WAR HOME: bookshop.org/books/bring-th…
4) I'm also really interested in reading Heather Cox Richardson's (@HC_Richardson) HOW THE SOUTH WON THE CIVIL WAR that traces the ashes of the Confederacy to the radicalism of the right today: bookshop.org/books/how-the-…
5) Lastly, Lawrence Wright's (@lawrence_wright) oddly prescient novel, THE END OF OCTOBER, about a pandemic that spreads out of Asia, comes out on Tuesday—and I can't wait to read it: bookshop.org/books/the-end-…
So those are tonight's #GMGReads. What's on your weekend reading list? What's new books are you excited about? Share! #avidreadersunite
