THE ORDER OF TIME

One of the best contemporary minds in theoretical physics presents an accessible
tour of the mystery of time. It provides hints of metaphysics along with
insights into how we perceive time and the reality of time, according to
Rovelli's research and collaborations.

RUN TOWARDS THE DANGER

A fascinating collection of essays about examining memory and injury through the
lens of time. A great read for anyone who wants to learn more about Sarah
Polley's career as an author, director and actor, or has struggled through
excavating the foundations of their own life.

THE ART OF LOSING

From Algeria to France, three generations of a family grapple with war,
identity, memory, and the legacies of colonialism. Evocative prose and vividly
drawn characters make for a haunting story.

CHERISH FARRAH

Farrah, a Black teen, is upset that she will have to move when her parents lose
their house. She manipulates her way into staying with her best friend, Cherish,
a Black girl adopted by rich white parents, but things become murky about who is
using whom. Twisty and chilling!

I AM A CAT

A playful satire of the human world as seen through feline eyes. Our narrator
watches his master’s foibles (napping all afternoon instead of working on a
promised piece of writing) with the quizzical air of one perched above the rest.
Elegant and often hilarious.

HULA

I loved this personal and political story of three generations of women in a
Hawaiian family, told from the community's perspective. Loosely based on a real
community that fought the construction of a Walmart on the Big Island.

A BIT OF EARTH

After her parents' deaths, Maria arrives in the United States by way of Pakistan
and Bangladesh with a reputation for being...prickly. With some extra care,
perhaps she (and the abandoned garden she finds) can grow in this modern

DELICIOUS MONSTERS

At the heart of this terrifying haunted house novel are two mysteries, featuring
generational trauma and how it affects relationships between African American

that way from its inhabitants?

A PRAYER FOR THE CROWN SHY

In the second Monk & Robot book, Sibling Dex and Mosscap arrive in civilization.
While Mosscap asks his question to humans "what do you need?", Sibling Dex acts
