<div class="card-title book-title">Taste</div>
<div class="card-title book-author">Stanley Tucci</div>
<p class="card-text">From award-winning actor and food obsessive Stanley Tucci comes an
intimate and
charming memoir of life in and out of the kitchen.</p>
<p class="card-text">Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the
kitchen table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and
now he takes us beyond the savoury recipes and into the compelling stories behind them.</p>
<p class="card-text">Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with antecdotes
about his growing up in Westchester, New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and
Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner; and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude
of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and
burned dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.</p>
<p class="card-text">Written with Stanley's signature wry humour, Taste is for fans of Bill Buford,
Gabrielle Hamilton and Ruth Reichl - and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.</p>

<p class="card-text">Welcome to Runway Magazine - and the office of Miranda Priestly...</p>
<p class="card-text">When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows
nothing. She's never heard of the world's most fashionable magazine, or its feared editor, Miranda
Priestly.</p>
<p class="card-text">A year later, Andy knows altogether too much:</p>
<p class="card-text">That it's a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work.
</p>
<p class="card-text">That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you
must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda's coffee get cold.</p>
<p class="card-text">And that at 3am, when your boyfriend's dumping you and your best friend's just been
arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump.</p>
<p class="card-text">But most of all Andy knows this is her big break, and it's going to be worth it in
the end. Isn't it?</p>

<p class="card-text">Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her
teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step
behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group
of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk
about the Manson family as they are about their own families.</p>
<p class="card-text">One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbour,
bringing the neighbour’s handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well travelled and well
read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of
town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris
is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and
Patricia has already invited him in. </p>
<p class="card-text">Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take
everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this
blood-soaked tale of neighbourly kindness gone wrong.</p>

Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s
sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants
absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.</p>
<p class="card-text">As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests
Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly
realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out
Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.</p>
<p class="card-text">Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together
the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them
could have anticipated.</p>

<div class="card-title book-title">The Underground Railroad</div>
<div class="card-title book-author">Colson Whitehead</div>
<p class="card-text">Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish
existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she
is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently
arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to
escape to the North.</p>
<p class="card-text">In Whitehead’s razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground
Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a
steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar’s first stop is South
Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme
designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher
sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight,
state by state, seeking true freedom.</p>
<p class="card-text">At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead
brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative
seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled
promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman’s ferocious
will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history.</p>

<p class="card-text">In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their
earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while
other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and
aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable… but not too amiable.</p>
<p class="card-text">Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in
her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone
likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for
that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.</p>
<p class="card-text">Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently
returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father
shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers
another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their
daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar.</p>
<p class="card-text">The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat
world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...</p>

wounds, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his eleventh birthday to find that he can no longer remember
his mother’s face. </p>
<p class="card-text">To console his only child, Daniel’s widowed father, an antiquarian book dealer,
initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library tended by Barcelona’s guild
of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world, waiting for someone who will care
about them again.</p>
<p class="card-text">Daniel’s father coaxes him to choose a volume from the spiralling labyrinth of
shelves, one that, it is said, will have a special meaning for him. And Daniel so loves the novel he
selects, The Shadow of the Wind by one Julian Carax, that he sets out to find the rest of Carax’s work.
To his shock, he discovers that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book this
author has written. In fact, he may have the last one in existence.</p>
<p class="card-text">Before Daniel knows it his seemingly innocent quest has opened a door into one of
Barcelona’s darkest secrets, an epic story of murder, magic, madness and doomed love. And before long he
realizes that if he doesn’t find out the truth about Julian Carax, he and those closest to him will
suffer horribly.</p>

<p class="card-text">According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only
completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a
Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.</p>
<p class="card-text">So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling,
tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy
angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have
grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.</p>
<p class="card-text">And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...</p>

<p class="card-text">Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, has a
magical ability for finding lost things – like keys, or socks, or spectacles. Useful, but not exactly
exciting...</p>
<p class="card-text">Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow’s door and
asks for her help. A whole day – last Tuesday to be precise – has gone missing. Completely. And without it
the whole universe could unravel.</p>

<div class="card-title book-author">Madeline Miller</div>
<p class="card-text">In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born.
But Circe is a strange child — not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother.
Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power — the power
of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.</p>
<p class="card-text">Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft,
tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including
the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.</p>
<p class="card-text">But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the
wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and
vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose,
once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the
Games.</p>
<p class="card-text">The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender
chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the
winning tribute. The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the
female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin.</p>
<p class="card-text">Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts
to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to
survive no matter what it takes.</p>

<p class="card-text">After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him
dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s
alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.</p>

unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.</p>
<p class="card-text">But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering
skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable
obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

<div class="card-title book-title">Born a Crime</div>
<div class="card-title book-author">Trevor Noah</div>
<p class="card-text">Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show
began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at
a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’
indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and
often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him
away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set
forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a
centuries-long struggle.</p>
<p class="card-text">Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young
man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story
of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his
teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would
ultimately threaten her own life.</p>
<p class="card-text">The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting.
Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an
attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school,
Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave
together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in
a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For
this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands—the perfect place
to get away and unwind by themselves.</p>
<p class="card-text">The trip began innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery,
champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight
of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear. Amid the boisterous
revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.</p>
<p class="card-text">Now, on New Year’s Day, one of them is dead . . . and another of them did it.</p>
<p class="card-text">Don't be left out. Join the party now.</p>
