Welcome to This Week, Those Books, your rundown on books new and old that resonate with the week’s big news story.

The few minutes you take to read this newsletter will make you smarter, faster…guaranteed. This week’s deep dive into fiction and non-fiction books is about the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which wraps up on Sunday, August 20. The suggested books – complete with summary (but no plot-spoilers), quotes and a visceral response – could point you to your next read or sort out your next watercooler convo and/or supper small talk. In short, they are GTK (good to know).

(Links to previous posts are at the end as well as on the website.)
