  • Lovecraft Country
    Lovecraft Country: A Novel
    Matt Ruff

    Black History Month…

    The supernatural forces, secret sorcerers’ cult, and monsters reaching out of these pages won’t scare you half as much as the very real racism an African-American family faces as they search for their missing father during Jim Crow. Read this trope-busting book before you watch the upcoming HBO series created by Jordan Peele (“Get Out”) and J.J. Abrams.

  • The Proposal
    The Proposal
    Jasmine Guillory

    Book club pick…

    Selected as Reese Witherspoon’s February Hello Sunshine book club pick. On her website, Witherspoon writes, “It starts with a proposal in front of 45,000 people at Dodger Stadium. But it’s not exactly love and baseball for Nikole (who says no!!!) …” A feminist rom-com that continues “The Wedding Date” series.

  • The Wife
    The Wife: A Novel
    Meg Wolitzer

    Oscar nominee…

    Glenn Close won the best actress (drama) Golden Globe, and now she’s up for an Oscar in the same category for her performance in the movie adaptation of “The Wife.” A searing portrayal of American marriage and the sacrifices, betrayals, and gender roles it entails, complete with a twist ending that puts the entire story in perspective.

  • Friday Black
    Friday Black
    Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

    PEN America Literary Award shortlist…

    Nominated for the prestigious award for its “originality, merit, and impact” and lauded as the breakout of 2018 by George Saunders, Roxane Gay, and Tommy Orange, this searing debut short story collection skillfully weaves together satire and magical realism with today’s most pressing, politically-charged issues to create otherworldly tales.

  • The Sisters Brothers
    The Sisters Brothers: A Novel
    Patrick deWitt

    Oscars snub…

    The book is as wonderfully weird, subtly funny, and smartly written as its title. A quirky, stylized genre-bending Western filled with dark humor and a bit of gore, it channels old-timey pulp and Cormac McCarthy alike. John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jake Gyllenhaal star in the movie adaptation, which somehow received no Oscar nods this season.

  • Ready Player One
    Ready Player One
    Ernest Cline

    Oscar nominee…

    Cline’s novel is a thick barrage of nerdy pop culture nostalgia, formed into the shape of a post-apocalyptic bildungsroman. Narrated by Wil Wheaton, this book is full of moments that will make any true superfan chuckle. Even more easter eggs exist in the film adaptation, which is up for the best visual effects Oscar.

  • Crazy Rich Asians
    Crazy Rich Asians
    Kevin Kwan

    Oscars snub…

    There’s no bigger Oscar snub this year than the much-lauded “Crazy Rich Asians” getting no nominations. It’s just plain insane, because by now you’ve surely heard just how crazy great this satirical romantic comedy is. Laugh along on a glamorous trip to Singapore as social classes and various cultures collide.

  • City of Refuge
    City of Refuge: A Novel
    Tom Piazza

    Mardi Gras…

    A love letter to the music and culture of New Orleans from “Treme” writer Tom Piazza. This heart-wrenching novel follows the stories of two families as Hurricane Katrina barrels through the Big Easy.
