Beautiful illustrations! Fun and poignant read! This is a great take on the childhood tradition of imaginary friends from the perspective of a yet-to-be-imagined friend. [Jennifer]
It's been 100 years since Masters published his seminal work. Told through the voices of dead residents of a fictional Illinois town, Masters weaves familial, municipal, and historical tales into an important collection that helps usher American poetry into the modern era. [Mike]
For fans of true crime and northwest history, Tim Egan brings his storyteller's flair to two tales: the original mystery and its uncovering. [Raissa]
One part meditations on the birth of her daughter, one part meditations on war, Ford's latest collection of poetry is lyrical, introspective, sometimes dark, but always accomplished. One of 2014's better collections. [Mike]
Adorably illustrated and rhythmically written. This book reminds us all to pay attention and that kindness is the most important thing we have to share. Lovely. [Jennifer]
It's irreverent, funny, subversive, opinionated, curious Vonnegut, casting a wry eye over society and its unsettling future. My favorite Vonnegut. [Raissa]
A 'terrific' story about 'some pig' named Wilbur and the spider who altruistically saves him. Charlotte is one of my all-time literary she-roes. A great book for beginning and expert readers alike. One of the best books ever! [Mike]
Kondo's philosophy of inspiration and joy is infinitely more exciting than typical attempts at cleaning and purging. An inspirational approach to tackling material excess. [Raissa]
Random, funny, interesting, and entertaining. This book is an illustrated look at your famous favorite person and their (extra)ordinary life. Hand-drawn line portraits add a nice quirkiness, sure to draw your attention. [Jennifer]
An enduring testament to the complications and commitments demanded by war. One of the most compelling books about the Vietnam War era, and one of the best books about the power of writing I've ever read. [Mike]
