Awarded Amazon's Best Novel of 2017, Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere follows Elena Richardson and Mia Warren, two vastly different women in Shaker Heights, Ohio, in the late ‘90s.

Sphere
Released in 1987 from science fiction writer Michael Crichton, Sphere was originally envisioned as a companion piece to his The Andromeda Strain—but the author later expanded the story into a novel instead. The thriller follows a group of scientists sent to the ocean floor to investigate a mysterious alien spacecraft—and everything is not as it appears.

Untamed
Reese Weatherspoon's Hello Sunshine Book Club pick for April, Untamed is Glennon Doyle’s memoir about navigating motherhood and divorce—and listening to your own voice rather than caving to other’s expectations.
“This book made me feel more seen than anything that I have ever heard or read (typing that just gave me shivers),” wrote a five-star Amazon reviewer. “The reassurance that there is nothing wrong with me for being an empath and feeling life so deeply was a turning point for me.”
