Highlights
"Braiding Sweetgrass," by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Dr. Mariah Robertson, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Tie: "Fearing the Black Body," by Sabrina Strings and "Sapiens," by Yuval Noah Harari.
Dr. Colleen Christmas, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Loved this sweet YA book “Blackout.” It's a story about young love written so there would be love stories about kids of color.
Dr. Shannon Scott-Vernaglia, Mass General
"Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent," by @Isabelwilkerson. It's the most important book I’ve read in my life.
Dr. Sarah Clever, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Second that! Listened to “Caste” twice and have recommended it to friends and family.
Dr. Howard Liu, University of Nebraska
"We Are All Perfectly Fine," by @JillianHortonMD, it's nonfiction by someone trying to fix our broken profession.
Dr. Jared Rubenstein
Loved "Crying in H Mart," by Michelle Zauner.
Dr. Catherine Derber
"Way of Kings," by Brandon Sanderson.
Dr. Chase Anderson, UCSF
"Real Life," by Brandon Taylor, "Disappearing Earth," by Julia Phillips, and "Premonition," by Michael Lewis.

Dr. Margaret Chisolm, Johns Hopkins Medicine
“Why I Don’t Write,” stories by Susan Minot.

Re-reading books from French author @AlexandreJardin about love and relationships.
