I try to choose staff picks of general interest, and I will freely admit that this book probably isn't - it is for readers who love the Beatles. You don't have to be a fanatic (I'm not), but if you love Let It Be (I do) then this book is not only appealing but probably mandatory. At a literal level, it is a textual and photographic transcript of the studio sessions preparing for their last concert, with the songs that became that album (and much of Abbey Road); but writ large it is really a narrative of the last phase of the band. They are talking, joking, playing, creating, arguing, reminiscing - far more than the story of a break-up, it is an exploration of a phenomenon. And the photos are magnificent.

Kaikeyi offers a lovely and melodic reimagining of a story from the Ramayana, a Sanskrit epic. While nothing beats being told these tales by my grandparents over a crackling fire, Vaishnavi Patel’s poignant and inspiring storytelling definitely burns just as bright.

This is the coolest, most engaging book you will ever own. The novel stands alone, and the 2nd storyline (my favorite) takes place in the margins of the book: a correspondence between 2 college students who trade Ship of Theseus back and forth. Postcards, handwritten letters, maps, photo copied articles, and other goodies are inserted within the books pages, just waiting to be discovered. You simply cannot have this immersive experience on a Kindle!
