Hi serene strawberries!
Here’s a video about May’s book club pick, Big Chief by John Hickey, and how I found a signed copy in San Francisco. A video was a super fun way to announce our next club read, I feel like we’re chatting in person! Remember, you can view all nine books we’ll be reading in 2025 and more at the links below:
What did you think about the video? Should I do more?? 🥂

Our May pick is Big Chief by John Hickey
"Big Chief is an explosive exploration of power and its corrupting effect. Jon Hickey takes us on a feverish journey in the days leading up to a hotly contested tribal election, where loyalties are being sharply tested, and the lines between right and wrong have become blurred. I found myself holding my breath as I turned the page—as the characters struggled to figure out how to be on the right side of history. This book is an astounding achievement." — Vanessa Chan, nationally bestselling author of The Storm We Made
Literary fiction, political, 320 pages, published in April, 2025
Grab your copies, in any form you wish, and let’s read baby!
I’ll see you in my chat (in the Substack app!) to discuss this book while we read during May!! Yay! Who’s in? Let me know in the comments.
