The War That Saved My Life

by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

I just loved this and have been thrilled to see so many readers of all ages enjoy it. It’s a Newbery Honor Book, set during WWII, and the plot is set in motion when two children—one of whom is very much unwanted—are evacuated from London into the British countryside. (If you think this sounds like Everyone Brave Is Forgiven you’re exactly right.)

Far Far Away

by Tom McNeal

From the publisher: "A dark, contemporary fairy tale in the tradition of Neil Gaiman. Jeremy Johnson Johnson hears voices. Or, specifically, one voice: the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one half of The Brothers Grimm." Add Audible narration for $8.99.

High Dive

by Jonathan Lee

Daily Mail calls this “Rich in the comedy of the mundane: the hopes and petty quarrels neatly contrasted with the approaching terror.”

The Handmaid’s Tale

by Margaret Atwood

From the publisher: "The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best."

Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It

by Chris Voss

Daniel H. Pink calls this fascinating and practical: "From the pen of a former hostage negotiator—someone who couldn't take no for an answer—which makes it fascinating reading. But it's also eminently practical. In these pages, you will find the techniques for getting the deal you want."
