jitney, by august wilson (i read this along with a class of seniors at the school where i work, and really enjoyed this exposure to a new (to me) august wilson play, with the benefit of a teacher guiding us through the reading and rather astute kids offering their take. i was glad to have read it!)
wolfpack, by abby wambach (i listened to this audiobook after hearing the author on an old episode of brene brown's podcast. parts were a bit cheesy, written as a leadership guide for a younger audience (brene says she buys this for every girl she knows when they graduate from high school), but then all of a sudden i was crying while listening? so clearly it moved 39 year old me, too. i'm glad i read it! the audiobook is only about an hour long (bonus!).)
swing time, by zadie smith (i heard the author speak like 10 years ago, and bought the book as part of that event...and then never read it. when i finally did, i wasn't blown away or rushing home to read more. i think there are better zadie smith books out there - i enjoyed white teeth much more than this one.)
