“Books Tommy Orange told me to read”

Currently in progress for 2025 calendar year.

After whittling down our suggested titles, we’ve aspirationally chosen 11 books to read for the rest of 2025. As always, there are threads that connect us across the years: touching on themes, authors, and the books we’ve discussed. Tommy Orange will be the first author we read twice and we’re adding more speculative trilogies. If you want a peek into how the books were chosen, check out our Planning Call!
