I can testify that not only do these patterns look great on the page, they do in reality as well! A lovely gift for the knitter in your life.

What does Leo Tolstoy have to do with Orange is the New Black? Or Sylvia Plath with The Bachelor? Maris Kreizman's juxtapositions of great literature with pop culture icons are funny and clever, but also intuitively true on a deeper level the stories told through "high" and "low" culture may not be that different at their core. A great gift for the film, TV, and book lovers on your list.

Informed by the many new discoveries and interpretations of contemporary scholarship, yet eminently readable and conversational in tone, Beard engagingly reexamines what we know of ancient Roman history, in process revising many myths of its thousand year span.

In a dystopian future, women who fight against the patriarchal regime are sent to an offworld prison colloquially referred to as “Bitch Planet.” A story about women who refuse to be boxed in and despite their society’s best efforts, remain noncompliant.

It is meant to tug on your heart strings and, at the risk of editorializing, it SHOULD! The recipes in Soup for Syria are the basic stuff of life and have sustained these people for centuries. They aren’t fancy, but as we enter the winter season, these soups are just what we want … hearty and healthful. The likes of Anthony Bourdain, Ana Sortun, Yotam Ottolenghi, Alice Waters and others have contributed to this collection. Proceeds from sales of this book will help fund relief efforts for Syrian refugees. It is the holiday spirit all wrapped up in one single volume.

Looking to cut down or eliminate sugar and still bake delicious desserts? Joanne Chang shows you the way with her easy to follow recipes and mouthwatering photos. My favorite: Apple Walnut Maple Cake. YUM!

A fun tribute to Moby Dick! (In fact, bookseller Chris calls it “a whale of a game.”) Perfect for fans of great literature and Cards Against Humanity.
Jennifer
More than just a collection of beautiful maps from around the world and throughout history, this book uses critical juxtaposition to create new perspectives on history, politics, and geography. Easily the most interesting coffee table book this year.
