Margaret Crandall
By Margaret Crandall

A Q&A with Carmen Rita Wong about her memoir, Why Didn’t You Tell Me?, “an immigrant mother’s long-held secrets upend her daughter’s understanding of her family, her identity, and her place in the world in this powerful and dramatic memoir.”

Have you heard of Swedish Death Cleaning? 🧹⁠
⁠
In this week's featured story: Packing up their mother's house, TueNight writer Diane di Costanzo and her sister estimated a couple of weekends' worth of work — hundreds of hours later, they believed it would take until The End of Days. ⁠
⁠
→ Until finding both solace and counsel in "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" written by Margareta Magnusson.⁠
⁠
In her essay, @DianeDiCo shares the practice of Swedish death cleaning and how it helped her navigate through a lifetime of clutter:⁠
⁠
❝Think of Swedish death cleaning as a gift to your heirs — someone will have to clean up after you, is Magnusson’s brisk warning. Whoever it may be will find it a burden.❞⁠
⁠
→ To learn more, check out Diane's essay "The Case for Swedish Death Cleaning" featured in this week's #TheTueDoList newsletter on TueNight Social: LINK IN BIO @TueNight.⁠

Happy National Book Lovers Day, because we’ll take any excuse to celebrate our love of storytelling!⁠
⁠
Today, we're harnessing the excitement of opening a new book... not to mention the pure joy of re-reading a classic... and sharing our love for the written word with fellow bibliophiles across the interwebs.⁠
⁠
✨And we'd love for you to join us by sharing some of your faves — do you have a book that you can read over and over again?⁠✨
⁠
→ Let us know in the comments below & Happy National Book Lovers Day, TueNighters!⁠

You have to believe she was magic... and we did. Thank you for all the music you’ve given us through the years, Olivia Newton-John 💙🦋

Not only for Twitter... and not only for books... other suggested responses we've seen: ⁠
⁠
"This book wasn't written for me."⁠
⁠
“I’m not in the right headspace/mood/time of the year to be receptive to this right now.”⁠
⁠
Reviews are inherently subjective — still, they can also be soul-crushing — so, just keep writing and find your clan!⁠
