I'm also reading And If I Die Before I Wake, a memoir by George M. Johnson, which also comes out next week.

George M. Johnson is the author of All Boys Aren't Blue, and it was 2024's number one most banned book in America.

Their new memoir is for adults.

And I'm also reading The Lion's Den by Kate Bernheimer.

And, you know, we see memoirs pulled out in book band world all the time and a lot of like contemporary memoir-like books as well.

I loved this book.

It was great.
