Solito: A Memoir
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON
TODAY • A young poet tells the unforgettable story of his harrowing
migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this
moving, page-turning memoir hailed as “the mythic journey of our era”
(Sandra Cisneros)“A new landmark in the literature of migration, and in
nonfiction writ large.”—Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River
Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll
take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.” Javier Zamora’s adventure
is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador,
through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave
behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left
four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a
group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety,
Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all
Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed
between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the
perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and
deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand
into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to
encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is
moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a
treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous
kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is
Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who
had no choice but to leave home. Read more

Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships
Celebrated NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg delivers an extraordinary
memoir of her personal successes, struggles, and life-affirming
relationships, including her beautiful friendship of nearly fifty years
with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.Four years before Nina
Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning
reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was
appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The
National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief, asking the
Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that
discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when
women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit
cards or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her
argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship.
Dinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the
way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers.
It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to
pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story’s heart is
one, special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through
personal joys, but also illness, loss, and widowhood. During the
devastating illness and eventual death of Nina’s first husband, Ruth drew
her out of grief; twelve years later, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth’s
beloved husband died. They shared not only a love of opera, but also of
shopping, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for
women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men.
During Ruth’s last year, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays
were “reserved for Ruth” in Nina’s house. Dinners with Ruth also weaves
together compelling, personal portraits of other fascinating women and men
from Nina’s life, including her cherished NPR colleagues Cokie Roberts and
Linda Wertheimer; her beloved husbands; her friendships with multiple
Supreme Court Justices, including Lewis Powell, William Brennan, and
Antonin Scalia, and Nina’s own family—her father, the legendary violinist
Roman Totenberg, and her “best friends,” her sisters. Inspiring and
revelatory, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy and true meaning
of friendship. Read more

Breaking History: A White House Memoir
Amazon #1 Best Seller————————-Jared Kushner was one of the
most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. For the first
time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump
presidency.Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or
constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior
adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to
leave the turf wars and television sparring to others. Now, Kushner finally
tells his story—a fast-paced and surprisingly candid account of how an
earnest businessman with no political ambitions found himself pulled into a
presidency that no one saw coming. Breaking History takes readers inside
debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, tense
meetings in Arab palaces, high-stakes negotiations, and the daily barrage
of leaks, false allegations, investigations, and West Wing infighting.A
true historical thriller, this book is not your typical political memoir.
Kushner details Washington’s intense resistance to change and reveals how
he broke through the stalemates of the past. An outsider among outsiders,
Kushner was a results-driven executive among beltway power brokers. He
questioned old assumptions and delivered unprecedented results on trade,
criminal justice reform, production of COVID-19 vaccines, and Middle East
peace. His successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords, the most
significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years, earned him a nomination
for the Nobel Peace Prize.Written by one of the few people by Trump’s side
from his trip down the golden escalator to his final departure from Andrews
Air Force Base, Breaking History provides the most honest, nuanced, and
definitive understanding of a presidency that will be studied for
generations.*****”Now 41, Kushner was involved in brokering Trump’s
US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and drafting and passing the 2018 First
Step Act that included prison and criminal sentencing reforms. He helped
lead the White House COVID-19 response in 2020 and led efforts to broker
diplomatic relations between Israel and four Arab countries during the
final months of Trump’s term.”—New York Post Read more
What We Owe the Future
“This book will change your sense of how grand the sweep of human history
could be, where you fit into it, and how much you could do to change it for
the better. It’s as simple, and as ambitious, as that.”—Ezra KleinAn Oxford
philosopher makes the case for “longtermism” — that positively influencing
the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time. The fate of the
world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand
years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more — or it could
end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great
happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on
what we choose to do today. In What We Owe The Future, philosopher
William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively
influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From
this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the
next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it
collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet
where the smartest beings are digital, not human. If we make wise choices
today, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did
everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope and beauty. Read more

Unsheltered Love: Homelessness, Hunger and Hope in a City under Siege
A story about hope and how every one of us can make a
difference.Unsheltered Love is a first-hand reported account of how the
pandemic greatly exacerbated an already dire homelessness situation in New
York City. In March 2020, the usually crowded streets of Midtown Manhattan
were empty, stores were closing, people were afraid to go out. But homeless
people were still on the streets, cold and very hungry, and much less able
to panhandle in the deserted city. Unable to ignore their suffering, the
author and her husband started walking the empty streets in their
neighborhood, handing out food to the men and women they met. As they
showed up, trust replaced the fear and suspicion that had existed within
them, as well as within the homeless people they befriended. They listened
as the homeless revealed their daily struggles living on the streets, as
well as the details that had led to their homelessness. Unsheltered Love
also provides an in depth look at one of the ten characters in the story—a
homeless woman named Maggie Wright who adds her perspective to the
narrative. Following each chapter is a journal entry written by Maggie—her
viewpoint of the same events in the story, as well as an inside look at her
personal journey into homelessness and her rise out of it. Her entries
provide a look into the psychology of homelessness, what can lead a person
to this fate, and more importantly, bind them to it. Read more

fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling
series.The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane,
and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great

Love on the Brain
A #1 LibraryReads and Indie Next Pick!From the New York Times bestselling
author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a
scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive
results.Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the
mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would
Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering
project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of
academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of
modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is
attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he
caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she
accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi
made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work
best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. Now, her equipment is
missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in
somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on
her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing
her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the
possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to
actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one
question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do? Read more

of time by one of the most influential living psychologists—the New York
Times bestselling author of The Lucifer Effect—and his research partner

Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd’s new book changes the way we think about and

can be resolved by ways to enhance your sexuality and sensuality, and
mindsets for becoming more successful in business and happier in your life.

think” guide for living in the twenty-first century and one of those rare
self-help books that really does have the power to improve lives. Read more
The Satanic Verses
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “[A] torrent of endlessly inventive prose,
by turns comic and enraged, embracing life in all its contradictions. In
this spectacular novel, verbal pyrotechnics barely outshine its
psychological truths.”—NewsdayWinner of the Whitbread PrizeOne of the most
controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, The Satanic Verses is
Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing book. Set in a modern
world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang:
the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors
of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of
what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent
odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose
importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key
work of our times.Praise for The Satanic Verses“Rushdie is a storyteller of
prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities,
climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air.”—The New York Times Book
Review“Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious,
extraordinary . . . a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the
imagination.”—The Guardian (London)“A novel of metamorphoses, hauntings,
memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes.
Rushdie has the power of description, and we succumb.”—The Times (London) Read more

from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:I’ll wait
forever if I have to.It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.Out of
simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for.
His reply?You.I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he
didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.We went back and
forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate.
Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too
late.Dante was at my doorstep.And nothing on earth could have prepared me

Royally Not Ready
From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a
fresh take on a royal romance with a twist. Laugh out loud funny and full
of some of her steamiest scenes yet, Quinn takes you on an unexpected,
sizzling fairytale journey. So there I was selling bikinis out of my truck
in South Beach Miami, getting ready to kick off a wet t-shirt contest when
the world’s biggest grouch approached me – Keller Fitzwilliam.The man had
the sultriest British accent I’ve ever heard. And he looked like he just
walked off a Viking boat and into a suit tailored specifically for his
impressively muscular frame. Only problem is, he had the warmth of an ice
pick and he kept telling me he was here to take me back to his home
country.Of course, I didn’t follow him. I might be up for a good time, but
I’m also educated enough to know leaving with a stranger isn’t smart. Well,
that’s until he mentioned my mom’s name. My mom who passed away several
years ago. So after some serious fact-checking, my bikini-clad bum went
with him to a sub-arctic country I had never heard of just north of the
British Isles, where I found out my grandpa was the king of said freezing
country, and I was the one and only heir.Desperate to learn more about my
mom, I decided to give this princess thing a chance.Good idea, right?
Wrong.Because Mr. Ice Pick was put to the task of training me and he’s not
just cold as ice, he’s pompous, aggravating, and possessive. And did I
mention we have to share a bathroom in a tiny castle?We are oil and water
every single day and even though he’s training me to be queen, I have this
simmering desire to kneel before him. Read more
