With strength and kinship, Marie builds a rich self-sustaining community of women. Her vision is epic, if unusual, and her legacy seems even more heroic in retrospect than in her own time. Anyone seeking inspiration for new beginnings could learn something from Groff’s interpretation of the Abbess Marie." | Wendy recommends Dinosaurs by Lydia Millet: Gil, newly arrived in Arizona after walking from NYC in an effort to restart his life after a failed love affair, becomes enmeshed in the lives of his next door neighbors, a young family who live in a glass house. As she did in A Children's Bible, Millet tackles questions of community and relationships in a time of environmental crisis.." | Elisabeth recommends When the Whales Leave by Yuri Rytkheu: "The perfect way to ease into a new year of reading: a perfect gem of a novella that inhabits the eco-cultural myth-space of the indigenous Chukchi people of the Arctic Circle. Written in light of anti-indigenous oppression in Soviet Russia, this translation brings this exquisite fable to English reading audiences for the first time." | Toni recommends When They Tell You To Be Good: A Memoir by Prince Shakur: "Start the year off with a gorgeously challenging read. Prince Shakur’s memoir of personal and political awakening traces his experience as a queer, Black, immigrant kid in Ohio in the 2000s through his journeys around the world and into a powerful, radical sense of self and commitment. As gorgeously written as it is stunningly honest and intellectually provocative. As a bonus, all the copies we have in the shop are signed by the author!" | Cat recommends The Villa by Rachel Hawkins: "This is a perfect way to start the year for mystery and suspense lovers. The tale spans from the 70s to modern day through the story of three separate women who travel to Italy for a time, all working to write a book that will change their lives and careers forever. As the story progresses, readers will have fun trying to anticipate what will happen next in each of the three character's lives, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ending." | Devon recommends Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado: "This is a woman-focused horror anthology that is guaranteed to make your skin crawl. The stories relate to women's issues, including privacy, weight loss, and sexual violence, with queer themes throughout the collection. The stories have well thought out characters, depth, and will leave you wanting more." | Thanks for reading,
