Reviews
The Night Eaters
The first volume of a graphic novel horror series by the same team that created Monstress
The Little Prince
A slim children’s book about a little prince who comes to Earth and visits a pilot stranded in the desert. A good read for all ages.
You Sound Like a White Girl
A mix of memoir and Latinx history, and an excellent bookclub choice!
5 People You Meet In Heaven
An overhyped parable following a recently-deceased man as he meets five people in heaven.
Empire of Pain
Deeply researched investigative journalism focused on the Sackler family and their Opioid empire.
The Left Hand of Darkness
Slow moving plot with deep undercurrents create a classic sci-fi book that has held up over 50 years.
A Prayer for the Crown-Shy
A quick, quiet, and comforting sci-fi read. Perfect for when the world is a little too much.
Princess Academy
An exciting but fairly low-stress adventure of a young girl saving her community. Great for younger readers.
The Case of the Spellbound Child
Sitting firmly at “ok”, a riff on Sherlock Holmes that neither frustrates nor excites.
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
Sitting halfway between poetry and prose, this is fiction that feels like a memoir.
I’m Glad My Mom Died
Jennette McCurdy’s memoir is a must-read for anyone who loves memoirs or who remembers iCarly.
Knot Again
Book 2 of the Real Men Knit Series by Kwana Jackson, a light romance series focused on 4 brothers who live in Harlem and co-own a yarn shop.
Better Off Wed
Book 3 of the Love and Let Spy regency romance series, a lighthearted adventure as two reluctant allies fall in love.
The Age of Agile
A business book with a solid overview of Agile Methodology and a fascinating breakdown of why our current business ecosystem needs an overhaul.
The Metamorphosis
A literary classic. Short enough to be accessible if you want to check the classic lit box, but depressing enough to be an acquired taste for most. Great for discussion.
One Thing Leads To A Lover
A stress-free regency romance between a widow and a spy, perfect for when you want to read but only have 2 functioning braincells left at the end of the week.
You’ve Changed
A beautiful collection of essays about life, multiculturalism, gender, language, and mental health.
Razorblade Tears
A fast-paced thriller where two fathers try to make up for old mistakes by avenging their sons’ double murder.
Love That Story
A collection of essays from Jonathan Van Ness on topics ranging from figure skating to the rise of transphobia in the US, all handled with his signature mix of wit and care.
