Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow has been a staple on reading lists since last summer, and for good reason. Author Gabrielle Zevin introduces a new kind of love story — one that explores friendship, fame, failure and video game design. After topping the lists for 2022’s best books from Amazon and Goodreads, it’s no surprise that Zevin is in the process of adapting it into a screenplay. This is one tale that’s sticking around.

The Creative Act: A Way of Being
This beautifully crafted book from legendary music producer Rick Rubin isn’t just for creatives and audiophiles. “I set out to write a book about what to do to make a great work of art,” he writes. “Instead, it revealed itself to be a book on how to be.” His illuminating study of creativity distills decades of wisdom into a thoughtful book that reveals his inspiring artistic journey.

It Starts with Us
Colleen Hoover has reignited the romance novel craze, crafting whirlwind stories where entertainment is always just a page flip away. This sequel to her 2016 release, It Ends with Us, continues the gripping tale of a woman’s tumultuous pursuit of her happily ever after. It Starts with Us is praised as a fast-paced story that’s as easy to read as it is hard to put down.
