New On My TBR List This Month
New books I came across this summer: Part 2
A day late – sorry! But as I mentioned last week, I have a part 2 of new books I came across this summer given my summer pregnancy hiatus. Get ready to add even more books to your TBR list and dive into some great reads.
And I’ll be out of town next week and will resume with a book guide on the 17th.
Happy reading!
Ghost Particle: In Search of the Elusive and Mysterious Neutrino
By Alan Chodos & James Riordon
Published February 2023 from MIT Press
I love science discovery stories, and especially so when physics is involved! A little bit of history, a little bit of nerdy science drama, this book looks like it’s going to be great.
Social Justice Fallacies
By Thomas Sowell
Published September 2023 from Basic Books
All I want to say is “obviously”. I’m a huge Thomas Sowell fan and am always in awe of both his ability to write so many books so quickly and his ability to clearly and concisely present a strong argument. Can’t wait to dive in.
A Brief History of the Female Body: An Evolutionary Look at How and Why the Female Form Came to Be
By Deena Emera
Published August 2023 from Sourcebooks
I often miss my days studying evolution and human behavior, and when I came across this book it was an immediate add to my TBR list. Hoping it lives up to the hype I’ve built up in my own mind!
Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians
By Tara Isabella Burton
Published June 2023 from Public Affairs
This strikes me as a nice complement to The Influencer Industry, which is still on my TBR shelf. From my read it seems like an interesting intersection between academic analysis and popular culture – count me in.
Iterate: The Secret to Innovation in Schools
By Justin Reich
Published October 2023 from Jossey-Bass
Reich’s previous book, Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can’t Transform Education, is one of my favorite education books and one I recommend constantly, so when I saw he was publishing a new book, it was an instant add to my TBR.
How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement
By Fredrik DeBoer
Published September 2023 from Simon & Schuster
Freddie deBoer always has fascinating takes on current social issues and I have little doubt that this is going to be a great read. If you haven’t yet read is previous book, The Cult of Smart: How Our Broken Education System Perpetuates Social Injustice, I’d recommend adding it to your TBR.
Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity
By Peter Attia & Bill Gifford
Published March 2023 from Harmony
Being healthy is a necessity in life and I recently listened to Attia’s conversation with Sam Harris, which motivated me to look up his book and add it to my list. Seems like a practical and level-headed take on health and longevity.
The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA
By Liza Mundy
Published October 2023 from Crown
This one sounds like fun. I love good narrative history and I have a feeling this book will deliver on that genre, while learning some interesting history of the CIA in the process.
