Editor's Note

Not to humblebrag, (very much humblebragging), but I’ve read 76 books so far this year. I’d like to think that I’ve hit the sweet spot in knowing exactly what I like. If that seems to be your issue and you’re in a reading slump, here are some of the books that have gotten five stars from me:

I can’t stop thinking about this debut. It’s like a modern, intergenerational version of Sense and Sensibility.
A novel set at the end of the 18th century about two musicians. Ann Patchett deemed it “the most perfectly constructed novel” she’s ever read. I have to agree.
An entertaining family saga about a Nigerian-American family based in Chicago. I binged it in two sittings.
Gloria Steinem’s final memoir.

And if you want to read in bed without buying a book light, I’d highly recommend this giant e-reader. It’s my latest bedtime hyperfixation.
