A heartbreaking tale of love, loss and one nearly perfect summer -- perfect for fans of The Fault In Our Stars and Love, Simon. Seventeen-year-old Katie Price has a rare disease that makes exposure to even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly. Confined to her house during the day, her company is limited to her widowed father and her best (okay, only) friend. It isn't until after nightfall that Katie's world opens up, when she takes her guitar to the local train station and plays for the people coming and going. Charlie Reed is a former all-star athlete at a crossroads in his life - and the boy Katie has secretly admired from afar for years. When he happens upon her playing guitar one night, fate intervenes and the two embark on a star-crossed romance. As they challenge each other to chase their dreams and fall for each other under the summer night sky, Katie and Charlie form a bond strong enough to change them -- and everyone around them -- forever.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

The scents of freshly cut lemons, wild thyme, simmering tomatoes, dried mushrooms, garlic beginning to sizzle in olive oil -- evocations of a way of life and of cooking -- are the smells of any kitchen in southern France. Much of the terroir itself is a wild rock garden of thyme, rosemary, and bay. Peach orchards stripe the countryside with shocking pink flowers, ducks and geese plume themselves under walnut trees, sunflowers stretch away to the horizon, and olive trees silver the landscape. It is said that you should never live far from an olive tree, but since most of us must, you can at least bring back for a moment the lovely warmth of this favored climate by cooking authentic southern French dishes in your kitchen. Over 120 recipes present the nuances across southern France from Bordeaux to Nice, via the Dordogne to the east and south, the Landes on the Atlantic coast, the Pays Basque, Catalonia and the Mediterranean, the wine country of the Languedoc, and ending up in Provence and the Cote d'Azur. The richness of the region's fresh ingredients reminds the cook in all of us why we love France and just how much its food influences our mood. Caroline Conran moves us away from the regime of self-denial, into an appreciation for preparing and feasting on comfort foods.
