What We’re…Reading:
Considering the enormous success of her memoir Becoming in 2018, Michelle Obama’s follow up, The Light We Carry, will be the biggest must-read this season. Where Becoming was a memoir of the First Lady’s experiences leading up to her time in the White House, The Light We Carry may almost be read as a self-help book. The book includes previously untold stories from Obama’s life, but here, these stories are intended to illustrate lessons she has learned along the way, as she attempts to provide advice and strategies for overcoming adversity to her readers.
For 16 years, the notoriously isolated Cormac McCarthy did not release a new book. But in 2022, readers were lucky enough to get two. In October, McCarthy released The Passenger, a haunting novel about a diver named Bobby who is investigating a sunken jet. Stella Maris serves as the sequel. It focuses on Bobby’s sister, Alicia, a graduate student who is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. The suspense develops as the reader grows to understand the relationship and connection between the two siblings and the secrets they may share.
