Shortly after Babitz’s death, journalist Lili Anolik was granted access to a treasure trove: boxes of personal papers and letters discovered among the clutter in Babitz’s decrepit apartment, many of which were unsent correspondence addressed to Didion.Using these letters as a jumping-off point, Anolik’s book dives into a chronicle of the complex relationship between the two women.

Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner Jan 20, 2025

In Creation Lake, a best-seller since its buzzy debut in late 2024, author Rachel Kushner turns the conventions of espionage novels on their head, while still honoring many of those who came before her in the world of spy noir. Kushner is one of the most-honored living authors, and this shifty tale of infiltrating a French anarchist collective may be her best yet.

Educating Caroline by Meg Cabot Jan 13, 2025

Author Meg Cabot is best-known for her beloved Princess Diaries series, but in Educating Caroline, she turns to Victorian England for the tale of a young woman seeking lessons in the art of romance. This delightfully frothy rom-com has a pleasant modernity about it, with something bigger to say about women’s liberation and sexuality hidden below the surface trappings of elaborate balls and secret trysts.

The Witches of El Paso by Luis Jaramillo Dec 02, 2024

As cold weather sets in, there’s nothing better than a novel filled with magical realism and multigenerational families full of secrets to transport you - preferably to somewhere warmer. Luis Jaramillo’s The Witches of El Paso is the perfect dreamy novel to curl up with. The book follows a dual timeline, jumping between Mexico in the 1940s and present day El Paso. There’s a coven full of nun-witches, a missing daughter, some Mexican folklore – basically everything you need to weave a rich literary tapestry.

The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave Nov 11, 2024

Looking for a thrilling page-turner for your ears? Fear not – Laura Dave’s brand-new book The Night We Lost Him is here.

Her new novel shares a lot of the same DNA – intriguing mystery, complex family relationships, and a richly drawn California coastal setting. Unlike her previous book, though, The Night We Lost Him brings in a lot of history – specifically, 50 years of family history, as the main character, Nora, digs into her father’s allegedly accidental death and uncovers a shocking family secret in the process. There are a lot of people talking about this book right now – and this sneak peek will help you join that conversation!
