Congrats on one year! The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is one of my favorite reads of 2021. Spell-binding is a perfect way to describe it!

Happy newsletterversary! You continue to impress and I look forward to another great year ahead!

I'm so glad you mentioned The Secret Lives of Groceries. I read it last year and found it fascinating! Like how did I not know Trader Joe's and Aldi are owned by the same company? I think about this constantly! And as a transportation policy person by day, I found the chapter on the economics of independent truck drivers super interesting! The book reminded me a bit of journalist Adam Minter's work. He's written a couple of books (Secondhand and Junkyard Planet) about waste, recycling, and re-use.
