For Teagan Frost, sh*t just got real.

All the President's Men

Author	Carl Bernstein
ISBN	1416522913

This book was truly unbelievable. The entire time I was reading it, I kept reminding myself that this was real history and it all happened. There was so much drama in all the proceedings, and to realize that it’s the select few (in great positions) of the government beneath it all. I completely admire...

Author

Lois McMaster Bujold

The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You

This is the book I’ve been longing to find: A gem of a story that’s been waiting for rediscovery as new age fiction. Dorothy Bryant’s 1971 novel, originally promoted as science fiction, is described as “part love story, part science fiction, and at once Jungian myth and utopian allegory.”...

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth

Author

Oliver Jeffers

SO Sweet! A father’s story explaining his world when his child is 2 months old.

I love this book. It does the macrocosm all the way to the day to day, not quite microcosm. It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on...
