#1:

Inciting Joy: Essays

Ross Gay

Our 2022 Book of the Year Co-winner!

*** $2.99 ***

“Inciting Joy is a book that will break your heart. Ross Gay will break your heart. He will break it and advocate for breaking it over and over. Why? So we can choose our life, our survival, our full humanity. Inciting Joy is brilliant because it’s not just a book; it’s proof that the way we carve out room for joy is by acknowledging our constant teacher: sorrow.”―Ada Limón, U.S. Poet Laureate

#2:

How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

Clint Smith

*** $3.99 ***

“Part of what makes this book so brilliant is its bothandedness. It is both a searching historical work and a journalistic account of how these historic sites operate today. Its both carefully researched and lyrical. I mean Smith is a poet and the sentences in this book just are piercingly alive. And it’s both extremely personal—it is the author’s story—and extraordinarily sweeping. It amplifies lots of other voices. Past and present. Reading it I kept thinking about that great Alice Walker line ‘All History is Current’.”―John Green, New York Times bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed

#3:

A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal

Sarah Bessey (Editor)

*** $4.99 ***

 
“An inspiring compendium of original prayers and essays written by progressive faith leaders. Each entry is a meditative gift offering a gateway for one to sit with the challenges of living in the world today. . . . The words here allow spiritual devotions to be approached with a diverse lens while remaining God-centered. . . . A book that allows people to speak in their own words while reminding those in positions of privilege that their faith in action is a catalyst for change. This is a welcome addition for those who enjoy contemplative prayer collections that intersect with important topics such as social justice.”—Library Journal

#4:

Ball Lightning

Cixin Liu

*** $2.99 ***

“Wildly imaginative, really interesting.” -President Barack Obama on the Three-Body Problem trilogy

“A meditation on technology, progress, morality, extinction, and knowledge that doubles as a cosmos-in-the-balance thriller…. a testament to just how far [Liu’s] own towering imagination has taken him: Far beyond the borders of his country, and forever into the canon of science fiction. – NPR, on Death’s End

#5:

Dawn

Octavia Butler

Book 1 of 3: The Xenogenesis Trilogy

*** $2.99 ***


“If we’re talking must-read authors like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison, the one-and-only Octavia Butler needs be a part of the conversation. The groundbreaking sci-fi and speculative fiction author was a master of spinning imaginative tales that introduced you to both the possibilities — and dangers — of the human race, all while offering lessons on tribalism, race, gender, and sexuality.”―O, The Oprah Magazine

“An internationally acclaimed science fiction writer whose evocative, often troubling, novels explore far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it means to be human.”―New York Times
