The BookTrib Brief: Anticipated Fall Reads Vol 1

Dear Reader, Fall is one of my favorite seasons; it might be my absolute fave. Sweater weather, boots, leather jackets. Everything is full of potential again and, yes, another chance. This fall’s lineup of new releases is going to keep me busy until the holidays, I think. There’s been lots…

Bio Hacking Isn’t It. Unlongevity Is. Escape Excessive Wellness Trends for Long-Lasting Change

You’re taking your supplements. You’re making protein a priority. You’re even waking up at 5 AM to work up a sweat before breakfast. Yet somehow, you’re still not feeling great. As crazy as it sounds, the answer is un-optimizing your health — and the guide to doing so came out…

These Audiobooks Are a Must-Listen for August

Dear Book Lovers, As we speak, I am listening to Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. It’s one of the most acclaimed audiobooks of recent years, and much of its success comes from Charlie Thurston's performance, whose narration captures the wit, grit and emotional depth of the story’s Appalachian protagonist. The novel…

Reading Isn’t Dead. Stop Writing Its Obituary.

This week’s Atlantic Magazine cover story suggested we mourn reading like a death in the family. The argument is compelling and the anecdotes and history are interesting, but the industry-level numbers tell us a much less bleak story than a "postliterate collapse" into the dark ages. Let’s start with the…

The Role of Women in Fairy Tales

This is the role of women in fairy tales. We’re not always the princess. We’re not always the witch. These are just labels or costumes, because what’s underneath is always the same, we are the ones who carry the tales through the dark, intact, even as we slowly fall apart,…

Michael West on Understanding Why

Why? Recently, I was asked by a friend for professional advice; I loathe giving business advice. Don’t get me wrong, I am honored when someone thinks I can add value, but I don’t enjoy talking about business. My career would suggest I am well-versed in various business topics; I have…

This Hidden Gem Is More Than Just a Stalker Story

Dear Readers, What first caught my attention about the thriller Dawn Before Darkness wasn't the stalking plot. It was the guardianship plot. Let me explain. Psychological thrillers are full of dangerous exes, but far fewer ask a more unsettling question: what happens when someone uses the legal system itself as…

Dear Readers, I’m heading to the beach this weekend, and I already know what’s going in my beach bag: Palm Beach Confidential, Susannah Marren’s latest Palm Beach novel. At first glance, it has everything I want in a beach read: glamorous settings, characters in conflict, a secret romance and a…

A Forgotten Surrealist Finally Comes Into Focus

Dear Readers, This week, we turn our attention not just to a book that’s a hidden gem, but to a book about a forgotten artist of the 20th-century art world. Too often, art history remembers women by proximity: wife, lover, model. Jacqueline Lamba, if remembered at all, is often recalled…
