New On My TBR List This Month
Eight new books I came across
Lots of September releases making my TBR list this month, which I didn’t even realize until I made this list. Some great science and history making the list this month. Let me know in the comments which book you’re most interested in hearing about.
The LEGO Story: How a Little Toy Sparked the World's Imagination
by Jens Andersen (out November 15)
I was a huge LEGO fan as a kid. We had a giant bin of LEGOs that my sister and I would spend hours creating buildings, cars, and anything else we could think of. I think LEGOs may be the best toy for children, and I’m excited to dive into the company’s history.
American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy
by David Corn (September 2022)
I usually read left-critical books on current events and cultural issues, and I should really branch out. This book caught my eye and seems to have been getting positive praise, so it seems worth the read.
Curious Minds: The Power of Connection
by Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett (September 2022)
I’ve been curious about curiosity and its role in learning, development, and life more generally. I have yet to come across a recent book on the topic, so when I saw this one it was a must add.
Wise Gals: The Spies Who Built the CIA and Changed the Future of Espionage
by Nathalia Holt (September 2022)
I’ve been increasingly interested in the role of women in history and this book seems like a great addition to my reading list. The CIA is a fascinating institution in its own right, and I’m excited to learn about the role of women in its development.
The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion
by Sean Carroll (September 2022)
Those who follow my reading know I like to delve into physics a few times a year. Best selling author Sean Carroll has another new book out and it looks interesting. To be honest, I didn’t love his last book, so I’m curious to see if I can finish this one.
A Voice in the Wilderness: A Pioneering Biologist Explains How Evolution Can Help Us Solve Our Biggest Problems
by Joseph Graves Jr. (September 2022)
One of my favorite genres of books is science memoirs and this one has been all over my social media lately, so I’m looking forward to diving in soon.
The Exquisite Machine: The New Science of the Heart
by Sian Harding (September 2022)
Deep dive science books are often some of my favorite. They tend to be endlessly fascinating and I love that they showcase scientific expertise. I’ve been seeing this book all over and am really looking forward to it.
More than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech
by Meredith Broussard (out March 2023)
This is a primarily professional development related book for me. Working in the tech space, understanding user experience and inclusive design is central to the organization I currently work for.
