Check out our new book display and let your favorite TV shows and stars guide your reading this week:
The Winners by Fredrik Backman is the third installment in the Beartown novels, which are
the basis for the hit HBO show. As it beautifully captures all the complexities of daily life and
explores questions of friendship, loyalty, loss, and identity, this emotion-packed novel asks us to reconsider what it means to win, what it means to lose, and what it means to forgive.
The World's Worst Assistant by Sona Movsesian is a completely hilarious and irreverent
how-to guide for becoming a terrible, yet unfireable employee, and getting away with doing the bare minimum at work written by Conan O'Brien's longtime assistant and cohost of his podcast, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.
Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization by Neil deGrasse Tyson (who has
made a cameo appearance in almost every show on prime time, as well as hosted several
science-themed tv series) shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time- war, politics,
religion, truth, beauty, gender, and race-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.
Seriously Good Chili Cookbook: 177 of the Best Recipes in the World by Brian
Baumgartner, with a foreword by Oscar Nunez, proves that no one takes chili more seriously
than Baumgartner, who became a household name in the Emmy-winning TV series, The Office as Kevin Malone. In real life, Brian is a true chili master and aficionado who is just as serious as his fictional counterpart about making the most perfect pot of chili. (Yes, it does include the official recipe for Kevin's Famous Chili from The Office!)
