I've heard such good things about the new Majumdar book and your review is moving it up my list! I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on Stolen Focus when you finish and agree that it provides the foundation for a great discussion. Cal Newport's work pairs well with Hari's if you're looking for more! Thanks for sharing, Katie - and I'm glad you got to enjoy a bit of fall in the midwest!
Funny you mentioned the pairing as I downloaded two of Cal Newport’s recent podcast episodes to listen to after I finish Stolen Focus. I’m specifically drawn to conversation surrounding social media.
Stolen Focus is a great read! I've recommended this title many times. I love that you have an IRL NF book club!
I wasn't sure whether I would read the new Mitch Albom, but I think you've sold me! I do enjoy these types of books also, but sometimes they end up too sweet or too caught on the time travel aspect. I find they tend to either really work or they really don't.
I think you should try it. It’s short and the time travel aspect isn’t messy at all. It also wasn’t dripping sweetness which I appreciated.
I’m so glad you enjoyed Stolen Focus. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to convince friends to join in on my nonfiction reading. I think it’ll be a great discussion!

Currently trying to decide between print or audio for GUARDIAN! I’m interested in both of your current reads.
I’ve heard great things about the audiobook. I don’t think you can go wrong.
I love a full cast audio but wait is so long! Book nerd problems… 😉

This is a great post Katie! I've loved out convos on LIB and A Guardian and a Thief. I'm on hold list for Twice
