Books on my to-read list, 7

Just want to share some books I'm looking forward to! Once every 4 weeks, I'll post 4 super short previews of books I'm excited to read. 

1. Lovely One: A Memoir by Ketanji Brown Jackson (Random House, 2024): With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation.
2. Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson (Berkley , 2024): A woman discovers that not all monsters are her enemy—the opposite, in fact—in this new paranormal romance by Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate.
3. The Sinners All Bow: Two Authors, One Murder, and the Real Hester Prynne by Kate Winkler Dawson (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2025): Acclaimed journalist, podcaster, and true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson tells the true story of the scandalous murder investigation that became the inspiration for both Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and the first true-crime book published in America.
4. Chain Gang All Stars: A Novel by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (Pantheon, 2023): Moving from the Links in the field to the protestors, to the CAPE employees and beyond, Chain-Gang All-Stars is a kaleidoscopic, excoriating look at the American prison system’s unholy alli­ance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration, and a clear-eyed reckoning with what freedom in this country really means from a “new and necessary American voice” (Tommy Orange, The New York Times Book Review).
