Availability: Backordered

Published: Doubleday - March 10th, 2015

This book is a miracle. Following four friends throughout their entire lives, with a deep generosity and kindness, with fire and brutality. I have never felt this connected to characters in a novel, fascinated by their fierce loyalty and their disastrous humanity. I wanted to know them, I do know them. It tore me apart, this book, and I let it. It was 700 pages and I read it twice anyway. I wanted it to be longer. It doesn't surprise me that it has been nominated for nearly every single literary prize in 2015. It is a masterpiece. [Kenny!]

Published: Spiegel & Grau - August 25th, 2015

I've never considered myself a Self Help reader and maybe I still don't, but I can't deny how much this Brené Brown gave me to think about, giving practical, livable advice on how to deny the myths and lies we've believed and live into a better story. Her work is deeply researched and intelligent, proclaiming the value of creativity and vulnerability. I read this book months ago and I think about what it has taught me nearly every day. [Kenny]

Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days

Published: Arthur A. Levine Books - June 30th, 2015

I love everything Kate Beaton does. Her online comic, Hark! A Vagrant, has taught me more about world history than years of formal education. And now she's made a kids book! For us! And for kids, too. It's my favorite kind of kids book, starring a princess who doesn't need to wait around for some guy to save the day. She can save the day all on her own. With the help of her chunky little pony. Kate Beaton's art is beautiful, as ever, and lively. This is something special. [Kenny]
