FOR THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC
Black Love Letters
BY COLE BROWN AND NATALIE JOHNSON
"There are many books about love," John Legend writes in the foreword to this achingly beautiful collection, "but precious few are love." In these pages, editors Natalie Johnson and Cole Brown offer up "distilled love to soothe your soul," gathering 45 love letters from "statesmen, acclaimed and upcoming writers, artists, poets, and creators-all reflecting on what it means to be Black, to love, and to be loved in America." There are the classic, romantic love letters (like John Legend's own goose-bumps-inducing letter to Chrissy Teigen). There are letters to ancestors and relatives, to children, and children yet to be born, and there are letters that press the boundaries of what love can mean and what it can accomplish (like the letter from journalist Jenna Wortham to her inner critic). Paired with Johnson's dazzling illustrations, these letters are sure to play on your heartstrings in the best ways.

The BEST BOOKS of 2024
We all loved Oprah's Book Club selections this year (did you read them all?), but here are our editors' favorite standouts on the shelves-from the thoughtprovoking to the heartwarming to the hilarious.
The Summer I TOOK My Mom "HOME"
Whenever I tell people about the Last Trip Home I took to Italy with my 87-year-old mother and my older son last summer, everyone has the same response (\"Awwww...\"), which makes me feel like a fraud because I know they're imagining some gauzy scene. And to be fair, I'd tried to plan it that way.
