Our former inventory manager's first book!
To what extent will we shield our children from their own emotions and disappointments? Shouldn't they deserve to experience the world with as much adventure and excitement as we did? Shouldn't they be challenged, exposed to stressors, and raised with tenacious curiosity? Instead, our children are growing up in a society with a rising intolerance for opposing viewpoints. They cannot and will not handle anything that makes them feel uncomfortable because everything has become too "triggering." They're being coddled and society is suffering. This book discusses the rising upheavals that college campuses have experienced due to this distorted cognitive behavior and examines exactly what led to it and if there are any resolutions. - review by Nicole Mira
Sally Rooney has been called the "Salinger of the Snapchat generation." Her sophomore novel is a psychologically astute tale about the power dynamics that occur within a relationship between two people. It's a will-they-or-won't-they trauma-rama of a romance novel! Does that not scream FUN to you??? -- review by Justin Remer
The beauty you seek is already here. Imperfections are perfection. Everything is in a state and change, our acceptance of the impermanence of things. Of these statements resonate with you then this books will help free your creative blocks and change your life. Accept yourself as you are, a perfect being, slow down and enjoy the beauty all around us.

Do you want to know all the methods being used to control what you think about and how? This is the classic study. It's not an easy read but it will open your eyes. Its truths are as timely as ever, as our country dips its toe in totalitarianism. - review by Josh Spencer, owner of the Last Bookstore
