From an old friend: On Immunity: An Inoculation by Eula Biss
Recommended to me due to relevance with the pandemic, and since the book came about as Biss was navigating the birth of her first child.

From a new friend: Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett
Recommended to me in relation to mundane creative acts, the quiet and everyday, solitude and maybe domesticity, but not in the 50s please-your-husband-and-the-neighbors sense.
