5 Books...

📚 Book club read: The 2025 Year of Belonging has officially come to a close! You are the first to receive an invitation to next year’s book club: the Faithfully Dissident Book Club. Our January book will be none other than Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd, the namesake for my book. See the other 2026 book picks and sign up here!

📚 In the middle of reading: Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl by Anna Rollins | This was just released last week and will definitely give you so much food for thought.

📚 Just finished: Eternal Summer by Franziska Gansler | In all honesty, I picked this up because it’s the book club pick for this month for my local book store and I want to try and build a relationship with the book store. It was a semi-dystopian, intriguing read. I’m looking forward to discussing it.

📚 Seasonal read: If you’re still looking to pick up a good Advent season book, my favorite is The First Advent in Palestine by Kelley Nikondeha.

📚 Timely recommendation: Nobody’s Girl by Virgina Roberts Giuffre | Obviously a brutal read, but important.
