On the screen…
The latest adaptation of “Little Women” starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen has been getting rave reviews. But the March sisters have been delighting readers for over a century. They face setbacks every day, yet the novel is so full of hope and love. A real treasure of American literature.
Forbes’ 30 Under 30…
Forbes named author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, 28, as one of the top 30 “young, creative and bold minds” of 2020, for the way his writing “uses dystopian, near-future settings to explore urgent issues of race, violence and capitalism.”
Book club pick…
The final pick of 2019 for Emma Roberts’ Belletrist book club is “salt slow,” a fierce, feminist short story collection. This debut deals with the supernatural, the bizarre, and an underlying horror to reveal the snarled nature of human relationships.
Merry spooky Christmas…
This is not your typical Christmas story collection. Get into the supernatural spirit of the season with fun, inventive tales of flying dogs, trees with magical powers, a talking tinsel baby, a haunted house, and more. Plus, each story is paired with a seasonal recipe, like mulled wine, mince pies, and smoked salmon and champagne. Everything you need to make the holidays merry, spooky, and delicious.
Oprah’s Book Club…
Oprah’s November book club pick is “Olive, Again” by Elizabeth Strout, which is the sequel to her Pulitzer Prize-winning work, “Olive Kitteridge.” Everyone’s favorite curmudgeonly character continues to keep it real and relatable in this follow-up. “I love [Olive] because she’s so 100% authentically herself,” Winfrey said on “CBS This Morning.”
National Book Award winner…
“Trust Exercise” won the 2019 National Book Award for Fiction, with judges praising author Susan Choi for “blend[ing] the intellectual rigor of post-modern technique with a story that is timely, mesmerizing, and, in the end, unsettling.” The novel upends conventional storylines in a charged exploration of deception when two students fall in love at a competitive performing arts high school in the 1980s.
New release…
Within a few tumultuous years, 10-year-old twins Bessie and Roland endure the dissolution of their family and the sudden death of their mom. But where other kids might deal with these traumas with tears and tantrums, the manifestation of the twins’ angst is a bit unusual: they catch on fire. (They’re fine, but other people, furniture, etc., are not.) As you might expect from the premise, this is an absurd and very funny book. What you might not expect is that it’s often quite heartwarming, as well.
New Scribd Original…
Award-winning author Peter Heller’s evocative observations of nature are on full display in “The Orchard,” our latest Scribd Original. Journey through changing times and Vermont’s Green Mountains with Frith, her mother, and an unexpected visitor.
