Here is another round of great books recently released in paperback.
🍄 "How Things Are Made" by Tim Minshall - We live in a manufactured world. Unless you are floating naked through space, you are right now in direct contact with multiple manufactured products, including furniture, technology, clothing, and even food. And yet the processes by which these things appear in our lives are virtually invisible. How often do we stop to think: Where do the things we buy actually come from? How are they made, and how do they make their way into our hands?
🍄"Anima Rising" by Christopher Moore - A hilariously deranged tale of a mad scientist, a famous painter, and an undead woman's electrifying journey of self-discovery.
🍄"Sleep" by Honor Jones - Every parent exists inside of two families simultaneously-the one she was born into, and the one she has made. Warm and generous, sexy and full of humor, Sleep is dazzling in its wisdom about the cycles of motherhood and childhood, the cost of secrets, and the burdens and gifts of love.

We have a new staff selection from Elise: Witch Hat Atelier!
Here's what they had to say about their selection:
"Witch Hat Atelier" is an amazingly beautiful masterpiece of a manga series created by Kamome Shirahama. After discovering the secret behind magic, Coco, who has always dreamed she was born a wish instead of a regular person, is rescued by Qifrey when she casts a spell that is forbidden. She is given the opportunity to become Qifrey's student and stay at his Atelier in order to learn how to use and cast magic the proper way. The cast of characters are as diverse and imaginative as the world that the mangaka has crafted. Perfectly immersive and drawing you in at the edge of the seat when you learn more about the Brimmed Hats, Qifrey's past, and see Coco journey on her way to becoming the witch she always longed to be. There is also a companion series "Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen" which has a delightful story that gives the readers recipes the world the story takes place. There is also a beautiful upcoming Grimoire edition that is coming out in May!
