Unhinged By Onley James Cover Image
$15.99

Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Published: Onley James Books - June 28th, 2021

Hear me out! Yes, this book is dark, but the darkness comes from what the characters are, not who they are. In this chase, Adam and his brothers are psychopaths who kill evil people, but are very nice otherwise. There's a reason why this book is all over Tik Tok. Adam and Noah are cute, there's a dope mystery, and hot smut - what more do you want? [Danielle]

The Atmospherians: A Novel By Alex McElroy Cover Image
$18.00
ISBN: 9781982158323
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Published: Washington Square Press - February 8th, 2022

A sharp, darkly funny social satire focused on two friends who start a cult for 'problematic' men. The book also takes aim at the wellness industrial complex and more. At once absurd and way to real, I think Alex McElroy's debut novel is brilliant and I can't wait to see what they write next! [Adrienne]

Published: W. W. Norton & Company - January 11th, 2022

This book follows the life of Ruthie - growing up in the forest of a small town in Montana - watching the town change as it gets developed and invaded by vacationers. It's very normal until the end. This book's ending is not normal, nor typical - so brace yourself. Also, the style is fantastic! [Blanca]

Not
$27.95
ISBN: 9780807036297
Availability: Special Order
Published: Beacon Press - August 24th, 2021

Historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a treasure and pulls exactly zero punches in her latest book. She expertly breaks down the pervasive myth that the U.S. is a country "by and for immigrants" and explains how perfunctory celebrations of multiculturism obscure our deep roots in settler colonialism, white supremacy, and other systems of oppression. I don't say this often: This is a must-read. [Adrienne]

Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Published: Farrar, Straus and Giroux - October 26th, 2021

There are few poets as vivid, yet sparse, yet illuminating as Louise Glück. As usual, this collection is filled with pensive stories where certain lines stick out and hit you in the heart. I loved this slim, beautiful collection. [Karen]
