Reading List: Attempted Coup Edition
Happy Friday loves, we made it through the longest first week back in the history of time. Obviously, I’m reading about the attempted coup whenever I have a break. I am devouring tweets and long reads and op-eds and first-person accounts from some of the best writers and publications in the country, because reading and writing is how I process emotion.
But one article I wanted to highlight that is unrelated to this week’s insanity is Emma Goldberg’s ‘Relapsing Left and Right’: Trying to Overcome Addiction in a Pandemic in The New York Times, so I’ll include it here because while it doesn’t technically fit below, it doesn’t NOT fit below, you know?
Anyhoo, here’s what’s in my Kindle for this weekend.
