Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative

Melissa Febos [isbn]

I felt like I had grabbed a live electrical wire shortly after starting this book. I knew she would say what she needed to say and would not hesitate to go down into the deepest and darkest places and take us with her — and in so doing demonstrate that such release is available to all of us if we're willing to take the risk and do the work. 
Recommended by Warren B.


How Stella Learned to Talk The Groundbreaking Story of the Worlds First Talking Dog

Christina Hunger [isbn]

If you've ever felt like your dog is trying to tell you something — "if they only had the words" — then this book is for you!
Recommended by Warren B.


Eighth Detective A Novel

Alex Pavesi [isbn]

Like a series of nested Russian dolls, this clever, twisting story claims to lay out the rules by which all murder mysteries must abide, while slyly breaking them all.
Recommended by Warren B.


A Children's Bible

Lydia Millet [isbn]

A broken mirror of a novel — some of what you see is recognizable, some is not. Images relate in unsettled ways, a new whole just of out of reach. Mesmerizing.
Recommended by Warren B.


Ghost Story

Peter Straub [isbn]

Unrelenting — by then end I was begging it to stop and praying that it wouldn't. Like a bad dream in all the best ways.
Recommended by Warren B.


Meddling Kids

Edgar Cantero [isbn]

If you have fond memories of Scooby Doo, and wonder what it might look like updated to today, laced with some Lovecraftian rocket fuel, and stripped of the cheesy rubber masks at the end, this book is a nonstop thrill ride!
Recommended by Warren B.


Hieroglyphics

Jill McCorkle [isbn]

For anyone who has ever wondered about the mystery of their parents — has been stunned to discover they are people with lives of their own, not much different than us, and worthy of as much empathy as we can muster.
Recommended by Warren B.


This Is How You Lose the Time War

Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone [isbn]

One of the most achingly beautiful and intensely romantic books I've ever read — totally unexpected and deeply, lyrically human, right in the middle of a science fiction story about two far-future agents on opposing sides — one a technotopia, the other an organic hive. If these two opposites can fall in love, then there is hope for all of us.
Recommended by Warren B.


The Saturday Night Ghost Club

Craig Davidson [isbn]

Ghosts aren't real, right? What about memories? An engaging, entertaining, coming-of-age story that subtly shifts gears into a moving, bittersweet exploration of what truly haunts us.
Recommended by Warren B.


The Only Good Indians

Stephen Graham Jones [isbn]

Not for the squeamish — this story starts with a rush and rarely lets up. Along with the horror, though, comes a heartbreaking, eye-opening look at the consequences of the tectonic stresses building and releasing at the borders between the Indigenous and white cultures. 
Recommended by Warren B.


A Peculiar Peril (The Misadventures of Jonathan Lambshead #1)

Jeff VanderMeer [isbn]

Wow. Utterly weird, utterly captivating, dizzily creative, frothily exciting, spit-take funny. There's no way to describe this pastiche of hero's journey, magic, alternate history, and Napoleon's disembodied head — you simply must read it for yourself!
Recommended by Warren B.


Sin Eater A Novel

Megan Campisi [isbn]

Megan Campisi weaves a story around a strong female character condemned to live by literally eating the sins of others, symbolized by various foods. This was an actual thing back in the 16th century but makes for a startlingly apt read today.
Recommended by Warren B.


Theophilus North

Thornton Wilder [isbn]

Theophilus quits his job in the summer of 1926 and retreats to Newport, Rhode Island, where he soon finds himself entangled in the lives of the residents, whose social status stretch across all of what he calls the "Nine Cities" of Newport. Using his wits and compassionate grasp of human nature he endeavors to help where he can while preserving his own independence. Sly, humorous, and authentic, this is a heartfelt investigation into the many... (read more)
