Emma

Originally hailing from New York, Emma grew up thinking she would become either a witch or a librarian. Instead, she's a career bookseller, but she's pretty ok with how things are turning out. When not at work, Emma can be found co-hosting the podcast Drunk Booksellers, playing with her cat, and organizing her bookshelves.

Uprooted: A Novel Cover Image
$17.00
ISBN: 9780804179058
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Del Rey - March 1st, 2016

Every ten years a cold and fearsome wizard known only as the Dragon takes a young woman from Agnieszka's village; it's a sacrifice they must endure to keep their village safe from the corrupted, malevolent Wood. No one knows what the women must endure in the Dragon's castle, but they always return changed. When Agnieszka is chosen instead of her best friend Kasia, she quickly realizes the village rumors don't even begin to approach the truth. Novik's book has everything you could want in a fantasy: witches, murder, an evil, conniving forest, unstoppable friendship, and just a little bit of romance. This is one of those books you will come back to year after year; Novik has created a world you'll never want to leave.

Witches of America Cover Image

Published: Sarah Crichton Books - October 11th, 2016

While working on a documentary about fringe religions, Alex Mar found herself drawn to paganism and witchcraft, and now she's written a book! Witches of America is a memoir-slash-ethnography; it explores modern-day paganism through Mar's firsthand experience—participating in rituals, attending conventions, and even training in a specific pagan tradition. I found Mar's experience and research absolutely fascinating; her exploration of faith and religion will engage and inform all readers.

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Computer (Pantheon Graphic Library) Cover Image
$40.00
ISBN: 9780307908278
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Pantheon - April 21st, 2015

A graphic novel starring Ada Lovelace -- often regarded as the first computer programmer -- and Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer. Padua supposes an alternate reality where Lovelace and Babbage build the world's first computer together, and they use it to fight crime, among other mathematical tasks. The Thrilling Adventures is unlike any graphic novel I've read before, partially due to its extensive, thoroughly researched footnotes, endnotes, and appendices. It is both smart and hilarious; Padua's talent in rendering Babbage's facial expressions kept me giggling constantly.

Limber Cover Image
$15.95
ISBN: 9781936747757
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Sarabande Books - April 15th, 2014

This is not your typical essay collection; Limber doesn't limit itself to strict nonfiction, but encourages exploration into the mythic and fantastic while managing to stay rooted to its main theme: trees. Pelster is experimental in both style and content -- with topics ranging from trees on the moon to trees inside a human lung. Her lyrical, evocative prose will resonate long after the last sentence.

Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life Cover Image
$17.95
ISBN: 9781631493416
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Liveright - October 10th, 2017

A thorough and intimate portrait of not only a life, but an era—one in which it was difficult to balance the roles of writer, woman, mother, and wife. If you're already a fan, Franklin's bio will delight and intrigue with her insights. If you haven't read Shirley Jackson, I recommend beginning with The Haunting the Hill House or The Lottery, then delving into this bio. Shirley Jackson is one of the 20th century's greatest writers; Ruth Franklin has done her legacy justice.
