Nerd Faith
From TikTok's Nerdy Priest comes thoughtful and inspirational reflections on large theological questions through the lens of pop culture. In a series of short, easily digestible questions and answers, Faith and Fandom aims to provide alternative perspective on big theological questions.

Following four key themes of Wonder, Faith, Hope, and Love, and with topics ranging from Biblical authority and contradictions, deconstructing and reconstructing Christianity, what it means to love our enemies, and more, Rachel Kessler, offers spiritual reflections to show glimpses of God’s wonder and mystery. She tackles questions about her understanding of the Trinity or the Virgin Birth, how she understands Jesus's crucifixion beyond a substitutionary punishment for our sins, what faith means to her, and more. Meant for people who believe in or struggle with Christianity, either as Christians or ex-Christians, as well as the spiritually curious, Faith and Fandom perfectly combines theology and pop culture as an easy entrance into important spiritual topics.

Stuck
Why fifty years of changemaking and reform haven't fixed Congress—and what that reveals about American democracy. Congress, the central democratic institution in the United States, is hanging on by a thread. On January 6, 2021, a violent attack on the Capitol Building left five people dead, and threats and attacks against politicians are on the rise. In Stuck, Maya Kornberg chronicles the efforts of congressional reformers over the last fifty years and documents the mounting forces that have kept their reforms from creating meaningful change. The "Watergate babies" of 1974, the Contract with America conservatives of 1994, and the historic 2018 class fueled by backlash to Donald Trump all represent younger, more diverse, and less entrenched members who arrived in Washington energized and idealistic. Kornberg reveals the ways Congress has become increasingly inhospitable to change. Political violence, astronomical campaign costs, relentless fundraising demands, shrinking staff, and centralized party leadership all constrain the ability of new members to legislate and represent their constituents. Social media, while offering new platforms for political expression, has also heightened harassment and fed a performative culture that rewards spectacle over substance. Bolstered by dozens of interviews, congressional records, and the voices of lawmakers past and present—including Henry Waxman, Toby Moffett, Phil English, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Lauren Underwood—Stuck offers a sobering portrait of a legislative body paralyzed by its own internal dynamics. Kornberg outlines tangible reforms that could restore Congress's capacity to function and amplify the power of its newest members. At a time when Americans are losing faith in democracy's most representative institution, Stuck makes the case for how it could be saved.

"You give a girl a taste of fresh air and then you take it away-she'll grow fierce and wild to get it back."
Oxford, Mississippi, 1933.
Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one.
Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she's been one of the 'unadoptable' girls at the town's orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.
When she meets Birdie, a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future.
But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister's charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose.
Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women.
But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences …

The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution
A provocative new history of America’s constitution and an urgent call to action for a nation confronted by challenges its founders could never have imaginedThe American Revolution occurred at a time when Britain’s constitutional order failed to adapt to the extraordinary growth of its colonies. The framers designed an American constitution to succeed where Britain’s had faltered, planning for continuous population and territorial expansion that would eventually cross the continent. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, it was already ill-suited for an increasingly urban, industrialized society, and the transformations of the twentieth century have pushed it to a breaking point. This book charts the history and aims of the American constitution from its origins in an agrarian past to the grave crisis we face today. Mark Peterson traces the American constitutional tradition to the control of land in medieval England, showing how the founders incorporated the aspirations of Magna Carta with the administrative principles of the Domesday Book, a meticulous survey and valuation of landed property commissioned by William the Conqueror. This framework encouraged the growth of democratic self-government in a young nation. It also institutionalized the colonization of territory and the expulsion of Indigenous peoples, establishing a legal blueprint for transforming tribal lands into revenue-yielding real estate for settlers. Peterson’s riveting narrative paints an arresting picture of a dynamic republic whose frame of government has changed enormously to meet the challenges of the modern age but whose written constitution has changed very little. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution reveals how this widening disconnect threatens the very existence of our democracy. It calls for a constitution that sustains the ideals developed over the past thousand years while meeting the challenges of the future.
How to Live
A vivid new translation in which the Stoic philosopher argues that virtue is the only path to contentmentWhy are so many people unhappy when happiness can be attained by anyone who simply lives virtuously? That question prompted Seneca, the great Stoic philosopher of the early Roman empire, to write On the Happy Life, and he continued to seek answers in his Moral Epistles. In How to Live, Seneca biographer and translator James Romm presents vivid new versions of passages from both works, distilling Seneca’s passionate and inspiring argument for a path to perfect contentment, no matter what befalls us. As a Stoic, Seneca believed that only ethical virtue leads to happiness; all other goals, including wealth and success, are neutral in their effects—or, if they torment us with what we haven’t achieved, sources of unhappiness. For role models, Seneca looks to Socrates, who embodied virtue and reason, and to a hypothetical sage who is always in tune with the divine mind that governs the cosmos. Extolling these paragons with nearly messianic fervor, Seneca urges us to imitate their example. Featuring an inviting introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Live captures the persuasive power of Seneca’s argument that the universe wants us to be virtuous—and happy.
Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.

Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.
