Propulsive storytelling featuring chapters alternating between the perspectives and voices of two protagonists. Chekhov’s gun appears early yet when it goes off, it’s a surprise that made me audibly gasp. Highly recommend. #Booksky 💙📚

When the world is upside down, books help me make sense of it all.
In 2024, I re-read The Handmaid’s Tale.
In 2025, I re-read 1984.
In 2026, it’s Fahrenheit 451.
I wish they didn’t hold up so well.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The most un-put-down-able memoir I’ve read this year. If you’re resisting because you’re not into running, get over it. An extraordinary read from @nicholas and a phenomenal Chrismukah gift for the book lover in your life. #Booksky 💙📚

Most business biographies fall into one of two camps:
📚 Great stories with no lessons — or lessons with no soul.
Dirtbag Billionaire is the rare book that delivers both.
I blazed through this and can’t recommend it more highly.

Wandered into Garden District Bookshop on a recent trip to New Orleans and picked up The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke — first in his Dave Robicheaux series. Hard-boiled, poetic, swampy noir. Raymond Chandler on po’boys and chicory coffee. Ripped through it. #Booksky 💙📚

When Joint Terrorism Task Forces were first set up, people predicted they could eventually be used by an authoritarian government to go after political enemies. And now they are.

What starts as a war reporting satire evolves into a riveting character study of a spiraling young correspondent. Incredibly tough needle to thread setting this in Gaza pre-10/7 but deftly handled. Blazed through it. Hard to believe this is a debut novel. #booksky 💙📚

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Judge Boasberg was a prosecutor when I was a public defender. We battled. Hard. He is a paragon of integrity. This attack, to use a technical legal term, is just so deeply fucked.
