Anthony Doer said in an interview that he strives to write "Demented Whimsy", and I would say he succeeded in this book. Cloud Cuckoo Land is a unique story about how our words and ideas can survive this broken world we have created. A labryinth of connections across space and time awaits the reader in these pages.
This is an incredible graphic novel, from its dialogue to the art, it will not disappoint!

I love anything involving Selkie lore, but this book went way beyond my expectations. Chock full of twists, each one hinting at a darker secret than the last, I was left gasping with each reveal. I highly reccomend the audio book on Libro.fm for a full submersion in the tale.
A combination of travel journal, Taiwan history, and family memoir blends perfectly into this book. Jessica uses words from multiple languages to describe the complex emotions that we attach to people and places, in a way that I had never quite been able to grasp before reading.
A feel-good family mystery, with a host of quirky characters. Travel back to the golden era of holiday camps in the UK, where magic and reality collide for a young clairvoyant, creating a tangled web for the next generation. I loved listening to this book on Libro.fm.
A recommended read for lovers of Alice Hoffman, Sue Monk Kidd, and Clarissa Estes.
Beautifully written, with a depth beyond measure, this is a book that is going to stick with me. I get the feeling that I will recall passages at different points through out my life. Amy takes such care in her words, you can feel her passion.
I do not follow any religious faith, and this book did not try to convert me into Christianity. It is a feminist history lesson, travel guide, and story of friendship. Amy goes on a personal exploration into the question of "so what?" that I think is relatable world-wide.

A deep dive into a side of history that has been over looked for too long. Kliph writes with passion and awareness, giving credit and voice to all the Indigenous comedians and writers with out whom this book would not have been possible. A great recommendation for lovers of history and stand-up.
Beyond just a coming of age story, this lyrical novel shifts what it means to be an "adult" from some mythical creature that has all the answers, to an average person struggling to keep things together. It is full of young drama and angst shared from the memory of the main character. Erica arrived on the island of Hydra at 18, uncertain of her place in the world and who she wants to become. She is surrounded by artists whom she admires and seeks council with, even though she sees the demons they are all battling with. Told with hindsight and wit, I would recommend this to any reader looking for a beach read that isn't all romance!
A fun modern twist on a classic! This rom-com version of Anne and Gilbert is a perfect escape from reality. I've always been a fan of their romance arc, but this book take sit to the next level!

Each short story is a new adventure
Fans of Harry Potter are sure to fall in love with this twisty fantasy that is full of anti-racist themes.

(This would be a great listen on a family road trip on Libro.fm)
One womans multi-country adventure following the worlds greatest migration... Monarch Butterflies. Sara is an incredible storyteller, reading her book is like being on that roadside with her, holding your breath as you catch sight of a monarch floating above an otherwise empty stretch of road.
The young adult book I have been waiting for. This book delivers a coming-of-age reckoning with relevant issues and historical context all wrapped into a thrilling plot. Daunis has been walking the line between her white and Ojibwe heritage since she was born, she has become accustomed to living in two different worlds. When someone close to her is murdered due to meth activity on tribal lands she agrees to help in the investigation, though she takes care to protect the Ojibe land and people from outsiders who have taken advantage of her people in the past.

There are different sides to every story. In A Thousand Ships, Natalie Haynes gives voice to the women of the Trojan War, breathing new life into an over-done part of history. This book would be great for anyone who enjoyed of The Book of Longings, or The Dovekeepers.

This book combines Anti-racist and feminist ideas into one amazing book that really makes you think about what it means to actively choose to fight for equality, and how we have to start by paying attention to the communities that are in the most danger. I have gotten asked by several customers which book, out of all the trending anti-racist/social justice books, I recommend they read. And while I will always say you need more than one perspective to get a full view, this book is a great start!
Lyrical poems that will spark a lot of emotion, and maybe even a call to action. This little book is incredibly powerful! Makes for a great listen on libro.fm as well.
Historical Fiction at its finest. This book will transport you back in time to Rome’s occupation of Israel, with vivid descriptions and scenery. Ana may have lived in a different age, but her longing for a life of passion, words, and choices rings true today.
Tired of adventure books about people who had no idea what they were doing? Caroline and her husband came across their share of close calls, and breath taking experiences, but there was never a doubt in my mind that they could handle anything the arctic wild threw at them. I loved Caroline's scientific descriptions of the birds they see along the way, as well as her introductions to the zany people they meet along the journey.
This book is a realistic and gritty look at what refugees face every day to find safety.

Hatchet meets Percy Jackson in this adventure, where Cree mythology comes to life. I listened to this book on Libro.fm and loved learning how to pronounce the Cree words that I otherwise would have failed at. Another unique feature is that there are actually good foster parents!

An amazing collection of poetry for kids and adults. Lovers of Shel Silverstein will appreciate this clever and fun book that was sometimes so raw I found myself crying. My favorite is Museum on page 54!
This is a laugh-out-load guide to loving yourself, literally warts and all. Ariella doesn't hold back any details, and everyone with a body can relate to her discoveries, from excretions to seductions. Her funky illustrations are the cherry on top!
Not every scientist is very good at telling stories, but I have found that ornithologists are the exception- I loved learning about the ecology of the Russian forests, as well as the culture and people who live there. The owls themselves are fascinating too, I didn't realize there were owls this big!
