Kelsey Ford: New Year, New You: 9 Books for a Better You, 9 Books for a Worse You (0 comment)
I’m not a huge believer in new year’s resolutions — they always feel like set ups for failure and disappointment instead of the well-meaning self-bettering they’re intended to be. However, I do believe in the fresh promise of a new year and taking the opportunity to deliberately (and gently) think about your routines and what you might be missing...

When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir

Patrisse Khan Cullors, asha bandele [isbn]

Patrisse Khan-Cullors's compassionate memoir is, among many things, an imperative to seek connection and build community as a countermeasure to injustice and dehumanization.
Recommended by Hayley H.

Freshwater

Akwaeke Emezi [isbn]

I knew I loved this book by the end of the first chapter. Dark magical realism, narrated from the otherworldly perspective of a chorus of minor gods trapped in the mind of a young woman. It's not going to be for everyone, but I thought it was phenomenal.
Recommended by Hayley H.

Heartbreaker

Claudia Dey [isbn]

About a cult long after the death of its charismatic leader, this daring novel is set in a familiar world made strange by isolation and poverty. Narrated by three remarkable characters (including a loyal, vicious dog), this is a story about love and family outside society. The world of Heartbreaker is exquisitely realized and Dey's prose shines like rhinestones.
Recommended by Hayley H.

From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death

Caitlin Doughty [isbn]

The delightful second book by death-positive revolutionary (and American hero) Caitlin Doughty, From Here to Eternity is a heartfelt travelogue through ancient funerary practices and cutting-edge modern deathcare.
Recommended by Hayley H.

From Here to Eternity

Caitlin Doughty [isbn]

The delightful second book by death-positive revolutionary (and American hero) Caitlin Doughty, From Here to Eternity is a heartfelt travelogue through ancient funerary practices and cutting-edge modern deathcare. 
Recommended by Hayley H.

Heads of the Colored People Stories

Nafissa Thompson Spires [isbn]

This collection is razor-sharp.
Recommended by Hayley H.

Trauma Cleaner One Womans Extraordinary Life in the Business of Death Decay & Disaster

Sarah Krasnostein [isbn]

Author Sarah Krasnostein writes with the kind of warmth and compassion that Sandra Pankhurst, the subject of this singular book, brings to scenes of unthinkable squalor. The dignity Sandra insists upon for herself (and has so often been denied), she also gives to her deeply troubled clients.
Recommended by Hayley H.

New Boy

Tracy Chevalier [isbn]

A retelling of Shakespeare is tough to pull off. Tracy Chevalier nails it, putting the most iconic moments and images from Othello into the hands of children. 
Recommended by Hayley H.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Caitlin Doughty [isbn]

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is not only a candid memoir with a healthy dose of black humor, but an insightful conversation on the art of dying and an earnest call for a death positive revolution. 
Recommended by Hayley H.

Everyone Brave Is Forgiven

Chris Cleave [isbn]

Everyone Brave Is Forgiven is a book of young Londoners getting chewed up and spit out by WWII, with scenes of love, friendship, and hope that stick to your ribs.
Recommended by Hayley H.

The Country of Ice Cream Star

Sandra Newman [isbn]

Newman writes in a rich post-apocalyptic pidgin. I devoured this epic novel, possessed as much by the language of this world as the fierce children who speak it. 
Recommended by Hayley H.
