Among the stellar books featured in today's issue, we look at Housewife: Why Women Still Do It All and What to Do Instead by Lisa Selin Davis, "a clear-eyed cultural appraisal of 'women's work,' and the high price women pay as working mothers"; as well as Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera, which follows a podcast's murder investigation in a small town "with dark humor, propulsive pacing, and a properly confounding whodunit." Plus, Snowglobe by Soyoung Park, an "austere, thrilling, and endlessly surprising YA dystopian novel," grapples with the obsession with fame on a frozen future Earth.
In The Writer's Life, Jessica J. Lee discusses the difference between writing a picture book like A Garden Called Home for children versus writing her other books for older readers.
