Ní Ghríofa’s A Ghost in the Throat is the most interesting and beautiful book I’ve read this year. A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa.Wandering in Strange Lands by Morgan Jerkins.This is essential reading for a better world. Caine has captured it all here, more succinctly and charmingly than I ever could, and I'm so grateful. This is the hours-long conversation I wish I could have with every customer about what Amazon’s business model means for small businesses, and what small businesses mean for the communities they serve about the hidden implications of those low, low prices and hyperfast shipping times about the trajectory we're on as a society and what we can do - as consumers, as workers, as community members - to right our course. If you've ever received a gift so generous you couldn't find the right words for a Thank You card, then you know both the gratitude indie booksellers felt when Danny Caine’s How to Resist Amazon and Why landed in stores, and the quandary I'm in trying to write a review that captures how much this little book means to me. How to Resist Amazon and Why by Danny Caine.A Carnival of Snackery: Diaries (2003-2020) by David Sedaris.The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu by Tom Lin.

This book was utterly delightful! It was the perfect balm for the pandemic blues. Among other things, we learn what cats and dogs really think of each other why the word “pooch” is derogatory which animals write the most profound poetry and which animals you should turn to for a black ops mission. I loved the rich world of history and lore. Each character has a unique voice to go with its (often hilarious) animal traits. For me, the book really shines in the small details about the animals we meet. This book has something for everyone: postapocalyptic doom a charming fable with talking animals (though it's definitely not for children) dark humor and adventure. The Council Of Animals by Nick McDonellĪfter a human-caused a cataclysmic event, a group of animals representing their species meet to decide whether or not to kill and eat the small remainder of humanity.
