And as a food-loving person, I really enjoy the way Justine Doiron approaches home cooking with such genuine enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.Ī book I recently recommended to someone else: The Secret Lives of Church Ladiesby Deesha Philyaw. I can’t get enough of the way Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai highlights the Vietnamese diaspora with her writing and social advocacy.
I was very moved by how Kristen Arnett wrote so honestly about what it’s like to-in her words-love a place that doesn’t love you back.Ī creator who’s doing something I admire: Just one? Impossible! I love following Michelle Yeoh’s rich acting career. There’s a lot of (justifiable) despair around the political happenings in Florida, my home state, and many tend to dismiss Florida altogether. Something I saw online that made me laugh, cry, or think: “We’re Here, We’re Queer, We’re Getting Married in Florida” (TIME). I’m especially into Selling Sunset right now-the houses and the clothes are pure fantasy! It’s what I turn on when I’m at the gym, and something about the repetitive drama, as well as the ability to completely tune my brain out, is so soothing. It makes me feel seen as an elderly Millennial! This is a podcast for women over forty, and though I haven’t technically reached that milestone yet, I have appreciated the way the hosts and guests talk about ambition, identity, and all the midlife feelings.
I’ve been listening to: Everything Is Fine. I’m so excited for you to get to know Thai and her work-trust me, you’ll be seeing her name a lot in the coming months and years! I love a novel that centers around a family home (hello Dutch House!), and Thai does such a beautiful job exploring themes of motherhood, family, and inheritance across decades and continents in this sweeping narrative.
Can we talk about the debut authors of 2023? Because it’s an incredible cohort! One of my favorites of this year is Thao Thai’s Banyan Moon, a stunning novel that spans across three generations of Vietnamese-American women, all connected through the Banyan House, a crumbling manor that’s been in the family for decades.
