We are going to the beach next weekend , and I may be wishful thinking here, but I’d like to bring something to read. What are the hot picks for beach reads this year? I’m up for anything. I’d love to read something that ppl are into right now so i have something to talk about besides my toddler. Tho i am obsessed with him, not everyone I know is in my phase of life. I need help talking to grown ups! Thx!

True, but unlike a Google search, the info I get here feels more personalized. I get lots of great tips here. :)

The new book by Molly Jong-Fast, How to Lose Your Mother, has been getting very good reviews. Yesterday was the official pub date and I intend to pick up a copy before the weekend. It's a memoir about life with her mother, Erica Jong, who has had to enter a facility for dementia patients. There's a lot of buzz around the book so it's sure to be a topic of discussion throughout the summer.

Thank you! This sounds really interesting. Two fascinating women.

I wanted a break from “mama” talk and picked up The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong. It’s deep, but so moving. I found myself thinking about it days later, and talking about it actually made me feel more like me. Pick something that gets you curious. I also enjoyed "The Favorites" by Layne Fargo is fast, and sharp.

Thanks so much! I love how you put it—I want a break from the mama talk. :)

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn.

It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face.
