<\/a><\/figure>Crying in H-Mart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Michelle Zauner <\/p>\n\n\n\n From the indie rockstar of Japanese Breakfast fame, an unflinching, powerful memoir about growing up Korean American, losing her mother, and forging her own identity. In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, and complete with family photos, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended listening <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Bono<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what I\u2019d previously only sketched in songs. The people, places, and possibilities in my life. Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book. I am still grappling with this most humbling of commands. In the band, in my marriage, in my faith, in my life as an activist. Surrender is the story of one pilgrim\u2019s lack of progress \u2026 With a fair amount of fun along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: this is an eBook <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended listening <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n by Dave Grohl <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, I’ve written a book. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I’ve recorded and can’t wait to share with the world or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters\u2026the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: this is an audiobook <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended listening<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Three-Body Problem <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Cixin Liu<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the scope of Dune and the commercial action of Independence Day, this near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple-award-winning phenomenon from China’s most beloved science fiction author. Set against the backdrop of China’s Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion. The result is a science fiction masterpiece of enormous scope and vision<\/p>\n\n\n\n Available as an audiobook <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Recommended listening <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Midnight Library<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n by Matt Haig<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever.

Now, the commanding general\u2014also known as her tough-as-talons mother\u2014has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers.
