Salt Fat Acid Heat
Samin Nosrat

"This cookbook is an excellent introductory to the four major flavor profiles in contemporary cousine. This cookbook not only teaches you how to cook, but how it should feel to cook. Delightful! I would recommend trying the recipe for Grilled Onigiri with Soy Sauce." — Emily

The Power
Naomi Alderman

"One day, every girl and woman in the world wakes up with the power to electrify using only their hands. Sounds like the perfect feminist utopia, right? Nope. This book is a powerful challenge to the assumption that the world can be perfect if the 'right' people have all the power. I'm constantly recommending this book. The fact that the author mentored under Margaret Atwood means that the plot AND the dialogue are sharp and layered. It complicates the classic dystopian tropes by blurring the lines between Hero and Victim. A truly incredible novel that you won't forget any time soon." — Chloe

All the Light We Cannot See
Anthony Doerr

"I read this book in high school for an AP literature class and it is one of my all time favorites. This book is full of history and emotion. It’s one of the books that I read over and over and it still makes me emotional every time." — Kaitlyn

My Soul To Keep
Tananarive Due

"What happens when an immortal that is sworn to secrecy falls in love with a mortal? How far will he go to protect his family? Will it all be worth it? Tananarive Due spins another great story of suspense with intriguing characters and a different take on immortals." — Richard

The River
Peter Heller

"It was supposed to be a leisurely paced canoe trip for two college friends, but a wildfire and some suspicious characters add danger and confusion. The two must keep their wits and move quickly to escape danger. An intense story about struggle, survival, and friendship." — Richard
