I am the author of Buzz Saw: The Improbable Story of How the Washington Nationals Won the World Series, released in March of 2020. I otherwise cover baseball for the Washington Post, where I've worked since 2017, and am always thinking of my next book to put on this here site.
My home library is a too-healthy mix of fiction and contemporary non-fiction (plus a long shelf dedicated to nostalgia/A Series of Unfortunate Events). Also being a sportswriter by trade, I have a good bit of sports books, some favorites being Friday Night Lights, The Last Shot and Jonathan Eig's biography of Muhammad Ali. When it comes to novels, I've more recently enjoyed Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, Monkey Boy by Francisco Goldman and anything Kevin Wilson. As for non-fiction, Hua Hsu's memoir, Stay True, was probably my overall favorite book of 2022.
