10 Books About Running to Add to Your TBR Pile

"Milkman" ($10, originally $17)

Running in "Milkman" is seen as an act of rebellion — especially for "middle sister," the name of the protagonist in the novel. Middle sister tries to tune everything out: she reads while she walks and frequently goes on solo runs. But when an older, married paramilitary member starts harassing her on her runs, rumors about their relationship make her an outcast. In this world, everything is politicized, and middle sister's acts of rebellion, like running, puts a target on her back.
