Sometimes all you wanna do is curl up with your fave book with your warm cup of tea! We’ve got you covered with some of the 8 best books of 2023 (so far)!

The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

A novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them.

The Complete Persepolis

Persepolis is a classroom staple, a feminist manifesto, and one of the most beloved graphic novels of all time.

The Wager

The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire.

Land of Milk and Honey

Land of Milk and Honey lays provocatively bare the ethics of seeking pleasure in a dying world.

The Creative Act: A Way of Being

From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us.

The Fraud

Zadie Smith has said her new novel is an attempt to really understand who the Victorians were. In The Fraud, they’re as diverse, strange, and hopeful as any of us.

Terrace Story

Yes, this is largely a book about space, from real estate to the distance that can settle in between intimate partners, but it’s also an unsettling meditation on proportion, conservation, and what is lost to get what we want.

Holding Pattern

A fascinating exploration of the power of touch and the strength it takes to hold up other people and ourselves.

Happy reading!
