Everyday People The Color of Life a Short Story Anthology

Jennifer Baker [isbn]

In her introduction to Everyday People, editor Jennifer Baker writes that she hopes this anthology will one day join "other seminal anthologies used for study and inspiration...on shelves not only for reference but for pleasure."

Hunger: A Memoir of My Body

Roxane Gay [isbn]

Hunger is the heartbreaking story of one woman's body — a body that is too large, a body that is too brown, a body that is too female. It is the story of a body that is invisible while also being all too visible. It is the story of a body that takes up too much space and yet does not exist. Gay's story is difficult. It is complex. And it stayed with me for weeks after I finished reading it. I cannot recommend this one enough.

641 to Paris

Jean Philippe Blondel, Alison Anderson [isbn]

This is a favorite novel about a heartbreaking relationship. It's a lot like reading a Richard Linklater movie. 
Recommended by Gary L.

All American Boys

Jason Reynolds, Brendan Kiely [isbn]

This is a fantastic novel about the emotional complications we experience, but seldom talk about, when confronting police brutality and social injustice. It raises some difficult questions and then leaves the reader to figure out their own answers. Don't let the Young Adult label fool you; this book should be required reading for all age groups.
Recommended by Gary L.

Bird Box

Josh Malerman [isbn]

This book will keep you reading for hours — and keep you awake for days. Good stuff!
