How to Think More About Sex by Alain De Botton
“I love the way Alain De Botton writes. I read almost the entirety of How to Think More About Sex in one sitting. Botton explores modern sexuality and some of it’s many complications in an honest, thought provoking, and humorous way that is so approachable you wont be able to put the book down. He describes sex in today’s world as a gentle balance of love, desire, commitment and excitement- an often difficult formula to maintain. From adultery to fetishism, marriage to the biological reasons for attraction, How to Think More About Sex is supremely interesting. Botton’s wit and intelligence is hard to beat, he references film, art, music, and fashion and in my opinion he has pretty good taste.”

Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
“This is a classic coming of age novel about exploring one’s sexuality and the struggle to love two people of the opposite sex at once. Coming of age novels are always great because they help us deal with our transitions through life and allow us to really personally identify with characters. The language in this book is amazing. This was Chabon’s debut novel, he was 25 when he wrote it and in the thick of his own transition.”

Crow Hunter by Doc Hair
“In this mysterious town filled with mysterious happenings newcomers are not welcome, in fact anyone who’s family doesn’t trace back generations are treated as outsiders. This story follows two townsfolk- one outsider and one who is deeply connected to the town. Paul, who lives in a very old very haunted house, has remarried after his wife and daughter went missing years prior. Now his memory is beginning to fail him and he’s seeing crows everywhere. But what do the crows mean and why is this town’s newcomer also able to see them? It’s an excellent read, fascinating and CREEPY!!! (Yes, three exclamation points).”

The Weird edited by Ann VanderMeer
“The Weird is an anthology of weird fiction from the early 1900s to contemporary era edited and compilied by Ann VanderMeer. Up until recently Ann has been the editor for the relaunched Weird Tales magazine. This book is a great selection of strange, disquieting, surreal, horrific stories by authors ranging from H.P. Lovecraft to Murakami and Stephen King to Borges. A great road map for 20th century speculative fiction. I highly recommend it.”

Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi
“Aria and Perry haven’t seen each other for a while. Perry has just been named bloodlord and all hell has broken loose. They’ve reunited but it’s far from perfect. This is Rossi’s sequel to Under the Never Sky, which was good but Through the Ever Night is AMAZING. The writing is better, the plot is better, everything- I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what she writes next.”
