We All Shine On
$55.00
The first memoir to tell the story of John Lennon and Yoko's life from the Beatles split to John's untimely death in 1980 - from the inside. Honest, insightful, humane, revealing, it will bring the lives of two cultural icons to life like never before. <p>We All Shine On is the personal, intimate and, at times, heart-breaking memoir of an extraordinary friendship, giving a first hand view of what it was like to be close to one of the most famous couples of all time. From the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late night radio show in September 1971, Elliot Mintz's life would never the same again. That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, until John's untimely death in 1980, and beyond, to the present day. In 1971, then the talk host on American airwaves, Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album. Their talk quickly lead to other private calls and then to John Lennon, with whom he quickly formed a firm bond. Those conversations became hours-long epics, to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in, for which only two people had the number - John and Yoko. The aftermath of The Beatles' breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade. Elliot witnessed it, or heard all about it, at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his 'lost weekend'. There was joy when their son Sean was born and the creative rebirth that was the multi-platinum selling triumph, Double Fantasy. But then there was unimaginable tragedy too when John was brutally murdered in December 1980.</p>

We Could Be Rats
$32.99
A moving story about two very different sisters, and a love letter to childhood, growing up, and the power of imagination—from the bestselling author ofEveryone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead and Interesting Facts About Space. Sigrid hates working at the Dollar Pal. Having always resisted the idea of “growing up” and the trappings of adulthood, she did not graduate high school, preferring to roam the streets of her small town with her best friend, Greta, the only person in the world who ever understood her. Sigrid was never close with her older sister, Margit, who is baffled and frustrated by Sigrid’s inability to conform to the expectations of polite society. Sigrid’s detachment veils a deeper turmoil and sensitivity. She’s haunted by the pains of her past—both distant, like when she pretended her parents were swamp monsters when they shook the floorboards with their violent arguments, and more recent, as she grapples with losing Greta’s friendship amid the opioid epidemic ravaging their town. As Margit sets out to understand Sigrid and the secrets she has hidden, both sisters, in their own time and way, discover that reigniting their shared childhood imagination is the only way forward. What unfolds is an unforgettable story of two sisters finding their way back to each other, and a celebration of that transcendent, unshakable bond.

We Love You, Bunny
$34.99
We Love You, Bunny Frankenstein meets Heathers in this dazzling, hilarious, and deliciously dark follow-up to the viral sensation Bunny, from Margaret Atwood’s ‘literary heir’, Mona Awad Fall down the rabbit hole into the intoxicating world of Mona Awad’s second darkly comic tour de force set in the Bunny-verse. From the queen of the fever-dream herself comes the pulse-pounding sequel, prequel, and stand-alone companion to her cult classic novel Bunny.Samantha Heather Mackey was originally ostracised by the clique of creepy-sweet rich girls in her highly selective MFA program who call each other ‘Bunny’. Then she found herself thrown into the violently surreal world of their off-campus ‘Workshop’, where monstrous creations were conjured with deadly and wondrous consequences.When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed, kidnap her. With Sam bound and gagged, we plunge headfirst into the wickedly intoxicating fairy tale they offer up as their side of the story. The Bunnies take turns recounting the birth of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers – and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. Dazzlingly original and wildly hilarious, We Love You, Bunny promises another captivating descent into dark academia and a profound exploration of just how deeply our fictions reveal the truth of our hearts.PRAISE FOR WE LOVE YOU, BUNNY'We Love You, Bunny returns to the uncanny terrain that made Awad cult-famous [and] burrows further into the fragmented, hallucinatory terrain she began to chart in Bunny. Her commitment to the surreal is gripping, as is her evolving command of structure – the way her stories fold in on themselves, mimicking the mental contortions of her narrator. With its feverish premise, metafiction turns, and a built-in cult following hungry for more, We Love You, Bunny is poised to be the buzziest release of the season.' Women.com "Most Anticipated Book Releases of Fall 20252"'[Awad’s] command of acerbic wit and satiric plotlines, talent for characterization, and sharp metacriticism of creative writing programs make her story sing in the way only bleeding tongues, broken hearts, and battle axes can… It’s Bookstagram-worthy dark academia that’s alarming, allegorical, and nuanced and unravels Bunny catastrophically and captivatingly. Fans of Atwood, R.F. Kuang, and Marisha Pessl will savor this book, whose heady, unsettling intellectualism builds on Awad’s reputation as one of today’s boldest feminist satirists.' Library Journal (starred)‘Mona Awad has returned and her latest will get under your skin just the way her fans have come to expect.’ PEOPLE‘Awad adds another brilliant roast of academia to the shelves, once again unmatched in playful language… with dialogue-heavy, laugh-out-loud funny, cinematic prose… Readers will laugh to tears and be fully immersed in this ethereal trip back to Warren.’ Booklist (starred)‘The Bunnies get to tell their side of the story: it’s an Alice in Wonderland, dark academia, slasher romp that is so much fun.’ Lit Hub, "Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2025, Part Two"‘Awad’s prose remains as biting as ever, skillfully oscillating between the lyrical and the absurd. Readers need not be familiar with Bunny to appreciate this outing, though fans will relish the deepened mythology and twisted callbacks. This bold satire breaks exciting new ground in the Bunny universe.’ Publishers Weekly
