This book collects 50 years of South African protest poetry of decolonization. From established poets to newer contemporary voices, this is a great overview of poetry of South Africa (which i only had a scarce exposure to). [sweet pea]
Don't let the title fool yoo, having a cat is always be a paw-sitive experience. As this pet owner finds out, learning to reed is easier with cats by your side. Cats be always in the mood for a story (Herbert)
I loved the store of Diwan, a female-led bookstore in Cairo. As someone who works in a bookstore, it gave me a new perspective on what it's like to sell books elsewhere, but also showed me a love of bookstores is universal. (Karen)

A razor-sharp and rhythmic poetry collection centered on place, memory, and culture in Tacoma. Lashley never fails to amaze me with his poetry, and this book lives up to the hype, without a doubt! [Christina]

I was a flight attendant up until COVID happened - this book captures all the accurate details of the day-to-day and idiosyncrasies of doing that job which was enjoyable for me to look back on. Additionally, it packs a punch of a hostage thriller that moves incredibly fast. TJ Miller was a flight attendant for Alaska and Virgin airways! [Jessica]
What an incredible collection of speculative fiction! The plotlines are so original, the stories are dark and humorous, and the characters are fighting for their lives and freedoms in a multitude of ways. Read this. [Christina]
This book grabbed me in the very first chapter and did not let go. Salh does an incredible job of transporting the reader to her youth in Somalia with a poignant mixture of honesty and reminiscence for pre-war Somali culture. [Kate]
