Caitlin Stainken from the Sales Team just
finished the final book of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan
Novels.
They were
so good. As exciting as Harry Potter, as beautifully written as Pride
and Prejudice,
as nasty as Tropic of Cancer, as devastating as
Trump's election (I'm not sorry). And they deal heavily with
female friendship and the female experience in a way that feels
especially relevant right now.

Promotions & Content
Manager Rachel
Mindell is reading The White Castle, by
Orhan Pamuk.
I loved Snow, by Orhan
Pamuk--this novel is great so far also. It's framed as a story
within a story, supposedly the transcribed text of a 17th century
book found 'at the bottom of a dusty chest' in Turkish
government archives, handwritten in calligraphy with marbled
blue binding. The lucky finder's fascination with the origins
of this text set us up perfectly for the main character and his
mysterious look-alike's dueling obsessions with history, magic,
and storytelling (not to mention each other). Really
captivating!
