This gorgeous feminist reimagining of Snow White feels as familiar as hot chocolate in front of a crackling fire and as fresh as a winter day. Read if you liked Novik's Uprooted!

For the love of a tree.

I've been following the O'Hara sisters on Instagram for over a year while I anxiously waited to read this book. I wasn't disappointed when I finally held a copy! The illustrations are simultaneously luminescent and dark, and the story of little Hortense who's afraid of her shadow is endearing.

After a round of overspending on the parental credit card, Margot has to spend the summer working in her dad's Bronx supermarket, a different world from the fancy private school where she always feels like an outsider.

When a child is thrown out of the house by their mother, they have no choice but to explore. What starts off as a do-nothing day turns into everyday magic as they explore. The illustrations are full of depth, detail, and flashes of surprising color.

A delightfully controversial book, there is much here to chew on. Witty, thoughtful, and occasionally funny, Scruton's insight is both timely and timeless in a world where sometimes we just need to slow down and look.

Talented, funny, and smart. Thank you Barry Blitt, sometimes your art is just what we need.

It's hot. So hot. And dry. Everything is dying. Gardens, farms, livestock. Tensions are running high in this small Outback town. You can feel it as you read. Then there is a terrible killing and past events are resurrected, dividing the town further. The Dry is a bestselling stand alone mystery in Australia and Europe, set in the Australian draught of the 1980's. If you're not looking forward to cooler weather, this will definitely raise the temperature.

Endurance is simply one of the best books I’ve read about what it’s like and what it takes to travel in space especially for long duration flights.

The novel unfurls into a twisting mass of parallel lives and fated occurrences. Just when the reader believes they are finally on the path of truth, Murakami masterfully unearths new connections and twists, keeping you on your toes. As with the characters, the reader finds themselves falling into a new world and back again, making each person reconsider the reality around them.
