Spookily Ever After
Spooky season reads from cozy to spicy romance
From addabook_admin
Mmm... Brains!
Despite the spooky season, this isn't actually a book list about brain-eating zombies. These books explore how the brain works (and when it doesn't) and what that tells us about our own sense of self. Are we really who we think we are?
From addabook_admin
For a Better Tomorrow
Amongst these titles, you'll find:
- Inspiring stories of resisting tyrannic governments
- Communities coming together in times of need
- Persistent, relentless showing up for civil rights and justice
- Guidance on what makes for effective, sustainable resistance movements
- Hope that a better tomorrow is within reach if we fight for it
