Here’s some of my favorite #books I read in 2025. With the exception of one, these are all memoir/nonfiction. Even if you don’t read much memoir, give these a try and you might be surprised by the way they resonate with you and this moment we are living in. Have you read any of these? Happy reading!

It was such an honor to read my essay "When We Lived Outside" from Catamaran's garden issue last week alongside other terrific #writers. The Hakone Gardens were stunning and the turnout of so many wonderful readers and supporters was truly heartwarming! 🌺

As the season of atmospheric rivers begins on the West Coast, I'm incredibly honored that Catamaran nominated this essay for a Pushcart Prize! It was published in the print edition this spring and is now available in their online archive. static1.squarespace.com/static/50a3e...
