Captivating by John Eldredge; Stasi Eldredge
This groundbreaking book helps readers by: Providing a look into the glorious design of women. Describing how the feminine heart can be restored. Casting a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be. Healing the trauma of the past.

Gennaro's Pasta Perfecto! by Genarro Contaldo; David Loftus (Photographer)
Bestselling author and much-loved personality Gennaro reveals all of his tips and tricks to making the best of the most versatile of dishes. Featuring recipes for dried, fresh, filled, and baked pasta dishes such as lasagna four ways, classic minestrone soup, homemade ravioli and perfect pesto, these are dishes that can be quickly whipped up for the whole family.
The Guest List by Lucy Foley
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. It's a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. And then someone turns up dead.
Maison Lesage by Patrick Mauries
Founded in 1924, when the Lesage family bought the eminent firm of Michonet (then a supplier to such fashion legends as the House of Worth), Maison Lesage has created exceptional embroidery motifs--often requiring hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of precise beadwork--for star fashion designers for decades. Perhaps best known today for the masterpieces it creates for Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel collections, the house was bought by Chanel in 2002 as part of its Paraffection group to ensure the survival of the house's unique history and extraordinary skills.
Memoirs and Misinformation by Jim Carrey; Dana Vachon
Memoirs and Misinformation is a fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our "one big soul," Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world--apocalypses within and without.
Pilsner by Tom Acitelli
Tom Acitelli's Pilsner: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World tells that story. Pilsner shatters myths about pilsner's very birth and about its immediate parent-age. Acitelli, author of the acclaimed craft beer history The Audacity of Hops and the James Beard Award finalist American Wine , also pops the top on new insights into the pilsner style and into beer in general through a character-driven narrative that shows how pilsner influenced everything from modern-day advertising and marketing to immigration to today's craft beer movement.
Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers; Robb Wolf
In Sacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist and New York Times bestselling author Robb Wolf explore the quandaries we face in raising and eating animals--focusing on the largest (and most maligned) of farmed animals, the cow. Taking a critical look at the assumptions and misinformation about meat, Sacred Cow points out the flaws in our current food system and in the proposed "solutions."
Tombstone by Tom Clavin
Bestselling author Tom Clavin peers behind decades of legend surrounding the story of Tombstone to reveal the true story of the drama and violence that made it famous. Tombstone also digs deep into the vendetta ride that followed the tragic gunfight, when Wyatt and Warren Earp and Holliday went vigilante to track down the likes of Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill Brocius, and other cowboys who had cowardly gunned down his brothers.
True Crimes and Misdemeanors by Jeffrey Toobin
From CNN chief legal analyst and bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin, a real-life legal thriller about the prosecutors and congressional investigators pursuing the truth about Donald Trump's complicity in several crimes--and why they failed.
The Year 1000 by Valerie Hansen
Valerie Hansen, an award-winning historian, argues that the year 1000 was the world's first point of major cultural exchange and exploration. Drawing on nearly thirty years of research, she presents a compelling account of first encounters between disparate societies, which sparked conflict and collaboration eerily reminiscent of our contemporary moment.

If Covid-19 has taught us anything, it is the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. September is National Preparedness Month and a great time to learn how prepare for what you can't plan for. Click the image above to access a great deal of resources on being prepared.
