<p>This is a very special episode of Best Books Lately. Special because it's been awhile since we've had one, special because it's with my longtime internet friend and book twin <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lizisreading_/">Liz Hein</a>, and special because we're weaving together some of the most important themes of 10 Things To Tell You: sharing your stuff, connection, and, of course, BOOKS.</p><p>In this conversation, Liz and I are not only talking about the best books we've read lately (and we've both read some great things!), Liz is also sharing about the life of her father, legendary Chicago photographer Rich Hein, who passed away unexpectedly last month. Liz's book selections are inspired by her dad, and I love that we could honor his memory in this way.</p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lizisreading_/">Liz Hein @lizisreading_</a> on Instagram</p><p><a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2025/01/21/rich-hein-sun-times-photo-editor-theater-chicago-obituary">Rich Hein's obituary</a> was on the front page of the <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2025/01/21/rich-hein-sun-times-photo-editor-theater-chicago-obituary">Chicago Sun-Times</a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast/258"><strong>FULL SHOW NOTES HERE</strong></a></p><p>Join the <a href="https://secretstuff.substack.com%20"><strong>SECRET STUFF BOOK CLUB</strong></a></p><p><br></p><h2><strong>LAURA'S BOOKS:</strong></h2><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3QuO1KF"><em>Beautyland</em></a> by Marie Helene Bertino</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4kbjPBL"><em>Witchcraft for Wayward Girls</em></a> by Grady Hendrix</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4bmS8SE"><em>Cue the Sun!</em></a> by Emily Nussbaum</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3XhTsAd"><em>Liars</em></a> by Sarah Manguso</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3EU7bHa"><em>We Used to Live Here</em></a> by Marcus Kliewer</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>LIZ'S BOOKS:</strong></h2><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4iw88UP"><em>A Place for Us</em></a> by Fatima Farheen Mirza</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/41sZCjz"><em>Hamnet</em></a> by Maggie O'Farrell</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/41v15G2"><em>The Remains of the Day</em></a> by Kazuo Ishiguro</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3EOwevo"><em>Wild Dark Shore</em></a> by Charlotte McConaghy</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4gXw7uA"><em>There's Always This Year</em></a> by Hanif Abdurraqib</p><br><p><br></p><h2>ALSO MENTIONED:</h2><p><a href="https://amzn.to/41hyMJM"><em>Bob Dylan Goes Electric</em></a> by Elijah Wald</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3D3qOvY"><em>How High We Go in the Dark</em></a> by Sequoia Nagamatsu</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/41uJrCp"><em>How to Sell a Haunted House</em></a> by Grady Hendrix</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3QwnA75"><em>The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires</em></a> by Grady Hendrix</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3EOwCdk"><em>By Any Other Name</em></a> by Jodi Picoult</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4kdFV6E"><em>The Book of Two Ways</em></a> by Jodi Picoult</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/4hRKMJj"><em>Small Great Things</em></a> by Jodi Picoult</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3EOwP06"><em>Never Let Me Go</em></a> by Kazuo Ishiguro</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3EUueli"><em>All Fours</em></a> by Miranda July</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3ESuzoy"><em>Migrations</em></a> by Charlotte McConaghy</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3D7rHDA"><em>Once There Were Wolves</em></a> by Charlotte McConaghy</p><p><br></p><h2>EPISODES MENTIONED:</h2><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast/250">Ep. 250 Best Books of the Year 2024</a></p><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast/252">Ep. 252 Most Anticipated Books of 2025 with Traci Thomas of The Stacks podcast</a></p><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast/195">Ep. 195 Why do smart people love dumb tv?</a></p><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast/239">Ep 239 Horror for Beginners with Meredith Monday Schwartz</a></p><br><p> </p><h2><strong>SUBSCRIBE to 10 Things To Tell You so you never miss an episode!</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast">CLICK HERE for episode show notes</a></p><p>FOLLOW <a href="https://www.instagram.com/10thingstotellyou/">@10ThingsToTellYou</a> on Instagram</p><p>FOLLOW <a href="https://www.facebook.com/10ThingsToTellYou/">@10ThingsToTellYou</a> on Facebook</p><p><a href="https://www.10thingstotellyou.com/podcast-email-list">SIGN UP for episode emails, links, and show notes</a></p><p>JOIN <a href="https://secretstuff.substack.com/">Laura Tremaine’s SECRET SUBSTACK</a></p><p>BUY THE BOOK: <a href="https://amzn.to/3gH4QxW"><em>Share Your Stuff.
