Unread
As a result of childhood learning disabilities and educational neglect, Oliver James graduated from high school and became one of approximately 45 million functionally illiterate Americans. However, at age 32, with big dreams and few tools to actualize them, he dedicated himself to learning the key skill that had evaded him his entire life: reading.
Oliver has become a TikTok/BookTok sensation for the way he's candidly documented his decision to learn to read as an adult, and his struggles and triumphs along the way. Here, he tells the full story behind his journey for the first time through the 21 key books that shaped and informed his experience. His story reveals the ways in which reading can teach each of us how to be better, more empathetic people.
In just 365 days, Oliver went from barely being able to read a restaurant menu to closing in on his goal of finishing 100 books in a year. Unread is a moving reminder to all of us that words and stories have power, and that, no matter our past, it's never too late to grow.

The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
At Marigold Cottages, landlady Mrs B only rents to favoured tenants, and they're an eccentric (read: odd, slightly broken) bunch. There is anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobe Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and the mysterious Nicholas. Their quirky community is upended when ex-con Anthony moves in and a dead body turns up on their doorstep shortly after. The police arrest Anthony, but Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, confesses instead. Horrified, her tenants form the 'Marigold Cottages Murder Collective' to clear her name. When a second body appears, they discover every resident has something to hide - and the killer may be closer than they think.
Shigeru Ban
From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters. According to scholar Riichi Miyake, Ban's work represents "an architectural iteration of Doctors Without Borders."
In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an integral part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the building's overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hanover and the Paper Log Houses in the Philippines, built after Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.
This essential introduction, compiled with Ban's own collaboration, presents his most important projects to date, surveying the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a "committed teacher who is not only a role model for younger generations, but also an inspiration."

Monet
A magnificent biography of the founder of Impressionism
In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting.
Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'.
This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.
Honeysuckle
Once upon a time, on the edge of a forest, there was a lonely child with only his older sister for company. So his sister made him a playmate — Daye, a girl woven from carefully selected flowers and words. And finally, this boy, Rory, had a friend.
Rory is gloriously happy, until he learns that Daye is a seasonal creature. At the end of each season, she must be woven back together or fall gruesomely apart. And when, one autumn, his sister fails to return home from university in time, Rory has no choice but to watch his best friend slowly crumble, not knowing until the last second if she can be pieced together again.
Realizing he can no longer rely on his sister to keep Daye alive, Rory determines he must leave home to learn how to do it himself. And the more he learns, the more he starts to wonder: Why can’t Daye survive more than one season? Can he do anything to break this cycle of bloom and decay? But as Rory grows older, his thoughts turn darker too . . . While Rory sinks deeper into research and experiments, ensconced in libraries and hunched in university labs, Daye is left to wait for his return. Alone.
Sometimes, the silence seems to seep all the way to her branch-bones. Sometimes, the company of birds is the only thing to remind her that she is still alive. And as Rory keeps pushing his experiments further and further, Daye starts to wonder – how far is too far?

Průvodce jižanského čtenářského klubu zabíjením upírů
Patricia Campbellová nikdy netrpěla tak silným pocitem méněcennosti. Manžel je workoholik, dospívající děti si žijí po svém, senilní tchyně vyžaduje trvalou péči a ona sama soustavně nestíhá odškrtávat položky ze seznamu každodenních úkolů. Při životě ji drží jen čtenářský klub, uzavřená skupina žen z Charlestonu, které pojí vášeň pro knihy o true crime. Na schůzkách klubu diskutují se stejným zápalem o masovém vrahovi Mansonovi a jeho Rodině stejně jako o svých vlastních rodinách. Jednoho večera po schůzce klubu Patriciu brutálně napadne postarší sousedka, a tím do jejího života vstoupí sousedčin pohledný synovec James Harris. Je to scestovalý a sečtělý muž a v Patricii vyvolává pocity, jaké nezažila už roky. Když se ale v jiné části města začnou ztrácet děti a policie se k vyšetřování staví lhostejně, Patricia pojme podezření, že James Harris je spíš Ted Bundy než Brad Pitt. V čem je zásadní problém? James je netvor poněkud jiného typu – a Patricia mu otevřela bránu svého srdce i dveře svého domova. Krůček po krůčku proniká James do Patriciina života a pokouší se ji připravit o všechno, co dosud považovala za samozřejmé, včetně čtenářského klubu. Ale Patricia se nehodlá vzdát bez boje, jak dokládá tento krvavý příběh o láskyplných sousedských vztazích, jež se vymkly z rukou. Drákula dupe v záhonech Ocelových magnólií v příběhu o záhadném cizinci, který naruší fádní život ženského čtenářského klubu v jednom malém jižanském městě.
