“The Parade is Eggers best piece of fiction he has written. It’s brief, propelled by the character’s sense of urgency to finish a job in a small time frame. Eggers has once again created an allegory for our current political state and pulls the trigger on the reader in the last chapter that punched me so hard in the face I wanted to call Eggers and ask, “Why are you so mean?” I love when a book does that to me.” - Jesse, BookHampton
“Save Me the Plums” by Ruth Reichl chronicles the life of this trailblazing and adventurous food writer and restaurant critic after she left the New York Times to take a job and the risk of a lifetime as the editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine. “Ruth’s book is so delicious I could eat every page!” - Jane, Bedside Reading
