Because it’s been such a big part of my life—and being in recovery from it is something I work to maintain every single day— learning more about chronic pain has become a passion of mine. I have spent years researching trends, reading books and blog posts, participating in online forums, and fielding questions posed by other people in pain who have contacted me for advice.

I’ve also had the good fortune and privilege to be able to experiment with hundreds of pain recovery ideas over the years—both the traditional and the wacky—personally test driving their effectiveness.

Since there are so many people in pain who are in crisis, I felt it important to share the information I’ve learned, especially since people with chronic pain are often misunderstood and underserved by the medical community.

My goal with this book is simply to give hope to people who don’t have a lot of it right now. I have been incredibly saddened over the past five years watching people from my pain community succumb to their pain—either by suicide or from complications related to their use or overuse of opioid prescriptions.

When my pain was very bad, I remember feeling very hopeless, alone, and at the end of my rope. I don't want anyone else to have to feel that way. If this book can keep even one person in pain from falling through the cracks or taking their own lives, this project will have been worth the effort.

Mostly bumping it up a star because I thought this was a great way to give voice to the author's experience with vaginismus (and that title!) There should be more books like this!

Speechless by Jordan Sawyer

This just wasn't for me. While it's an interesting concept, I didn't buy the twist...mostly because the plot seemed so heavy handed in spots that it pretty clearly telegraphed to me that a twist was coming soon.

I guess this is the year of the werewolf for me, because this is the second strong feminist take on the topic I've read in 2026.

I'll say upfront that the W-word isn't at all a spoiler to drop. That fact is revealed very early in the story when a gro

This was a solid romantasy. I loved that it ended with an vague reference that the future will get more difficult, without employing another damn cliffhanger. THANK YOU.

This was a fun read (with a great cover!) I'm not big on reality TV, but have watched enough to know the tropes and the process and this seemed to do a good job of creating that world.

I'm a fan of Kritzer, who's quite a big deal in the Twin Cities for her fresh and astute writing on local politics, so I was eager to give her fiction a spin.

This is a meticulously-researched, believable thriller about an obstetrician who is abducted

For me, this book had a rough start. But I'm glad I stuck with it because the final third really starts humming and the book starts to live up to its premise.

I love Rowell's writing. She's great about portraying fully-realized characters.

There were parts about this book I didn't quite love though (it's maybe a 3.5 for me) Tom felt a little bland on the page to me, and the marriage breakdown wasn't fully
