A woman as universally known as publicly denounced, Ono’s story ranges from childhood neglect to bottomless grief. @david_sheff emphasizes Ono’s triumphs, altering the world’s antagonistic narrative. Thank you @SimonBooks! creativerunnings.com/books/y… #BookRecommendation

Crenshaw's upbringing taught her to value her voice, resulting in her becoming a "backtalker.” I appreciated her focus on the experiences of Black women—frequently left out of conversations not just on racial justice but also gender equality. creativerunnings.com/books/b…

Levings writes about the recovery from religious abuse with openness and conviction, interspersing personal stories with reflections on healing. She offers a unique gift: her solidarity. creativerunnings.com/books/i… Thank you @StMartinsPress for the Advance Reader's Copy

If you're looking for a “glory days” sports #memoir, move right along. “For the Love of the Grind” isn't a retrospective success narrative; it’s an authentic, grounded tale of staying power—into the present—from one of the best in our sport. creativerunnings.com/books/f… @SaraHall3

Emotions like anger, envy, and shame aren’t problems to eliminate but signals worth paying attention to. I applaud the author for bringing our darker sides to the foreground without shame. creativerunnings.com/books/h… #BookReview

The most destructive individuals aren't rare outliers blowing up entire systems—they are the ones who strategically bend them until they snap. creativerunnings.com/books/p… Thank you @simonschuster for the ARC! #bookreview #amreading

Instead of treating grief as a problem to be solved or a hurdle to overcome, Bordas writes about it as a space we inhabit, sometimes for a very long time. creativerunnings.com/books/o… Thank you @randomhouse for the ARC! #bookreview #shortstories

We spend decades on running more, better—but we rarely talk about the retirement. When our social life and mental health are tethered to the Sunday long run, losing them isn't just physical; it’s an identity crisis. creativerunnings.com/books/t… Thank you @GrandCentralPub for the ARC!

Filmmaker Abel Ferrara tells his #story of rising to cinematic fame while battling drug addiction. I found the raw, unvarnished street gangster narration hard to read but enjoyed Ferrara’s humility. creativerunnings.com/books/s… Thank you @simonschuster for the #ARC! #memoir

Read @creativerunning's review of Su Chang's The Immortal Woman (pub. @HouseofAnansi) in Issue 32! It is a beautiful exploration of personal conflict at the intersection of family, politics, and culture, seen through the eyes of two remarkable women... thetemzreview.com/angeacutel…

After quitting competition in her 20s, @KeiraDAmato couldn’t #run for more than 90 seconds, but then, against the odds, broke the American marathon record at age 37. Her #story isn’t linear—it explores grief, motherhood, identity, and resilience. creativerunnings.com/books/d… #memoir

An exciting new #biography on @Lin_Manuel, creator of "Hamilton," is in the works over at @SimonBooks! I loved the in-depth narration on Miranda's humble background and passion, leading to international fame. Thank you for the #ARC! #BookRecommendation #BookReview #amreading

In her #memoir, @leefromamerica recounts her ups and downs as a wellness influencer, leading her to fame but also an exacerbation of an #eatingdisorder. A page turner uncovering the dangers of social media. creativerunnings.com/books/i… #BookReview #amreading #BookRecommendation #Books

An Oral History of Atlantis by Ed Park turned out to be a quick but indulging #read, hopping from one curious #shortstory to the next. Park writes delightful literary prose that packs subtle humor and everyday societal malheurs. Read review: creativerunnings.com/books/a… #BookReview

From Jeff Hiller, comedian and leading actor in "Somebody, Somewhere," a stunning #autobiography. If you're like me, not all that enthused by gaudy #celebritymemoirs, this one might hit home. Full review: creativerunnings.com/books/a… #BookRecommendation #bookreview #amreading

She hasn't been up Everest just once, like a “normal” person. No. It was her backyard. @MelissaArnot was the first American to summit without oxygen. A #memoir of powerful modesty, trauma, and strength. Thank you @PenguinBooks for the #review invitation. creativerunnings.com/books/e…

Was going to start #amquerying in a week or two, but then a pitch event appeared. What could go wrong with a three-sentence pitch? :-) The trenches have officially begun!
