This hard-hitting graphic memoir is framed around a son's questions about how the world works, but quickly goes much deeper as Mira explores topics of sexuality, politics, prejudice, and the reality of living as a person of color in a post-2016 USA. Heart-aching and fantastic.

This graphic memoir gives a glimpse into the role music played in Pierre’s life from college through age 30- much of which she spent on stages in Camberville. Albums and playlists are included, making this a treasure trove!

Discover another side to Shirley Jackson as she takes on the daily trials of domestic life in a small Vermont town. Laugh-out-loud funny and perfect for Mother's Day.

This essay collection on writing, creativity, and identity is just about perfect. Worth it even if you haven't read Chee's other work.
A blend of memoir and science explores what we know (and don't know--find out how little we understand about the placenta!) about the biology and psychology of pregnancy and childbirth that puts women's experiences at the center.

Need a little laugh therapy? Lewis wrote The Big Short, Moneyball, and now the highly praised, The Fifth Risk. I did not know he had written about his journey into being a father. If this topic applies to or interests you in the least, there are laugh out loud moments awaiting you.

Smart and laugh-out-loud funny, you don’t have to be a bookseller to love this book!

New York Times reporter David Carr was a giant in his field, covering media and culture, and starring in the award-winning documentary Page One: Inside the New York Times. This book, his investigation into his own past, is grim and gripping and champions the merit and potential of individuals veiled by the label and struggle of addiction.

Sy Montgomery, in her utterly charming new memoir, attempts to answer the question “What have animals taught me about life”. Her life’s work and passion has brought her into contact with creatures as varied as tarantulas and hyenas, emus and octopus, each in their own way a marvel and each with something to teach about how to make one’s way in this wondrous world

Adam Gopnik’s writing style is as unique as the city he writes about, NYC. I loved this book.
