Shauna Niequist
“Another day, another booklist: this time, my all time favorite food writing (not cookbooks?I?ll do those soon). Food writing is about comfort, memory, tradition, longing. In times like these, I highly recommend it, along with folk music, poetry & the Psalms.”

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
