True stories and principles to apply and take with you through your everyday life.
I'm biased because this is from my aunt, the Alabama Legend Eunice Elliott, as she quotes, annotates, and exemplifies things that my grandmother told her in an effort to pass down the keys to life. As someone who got a lot of this same advice, I HAVE...
10 Things Your Mama Never Told You by Eunice Elliott
This is a book about trauma and how to properly process it. We all have trauma, we all have regrets, and this is one of the few true books for anyone. Cannot recommend it enough.
Book Review: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind ...
History doesn't always repeat itself, but it does tend to rhyme. In politically charged times, such as now, such as the late 60's, it's important to remember what real radical thought and action look like. Who better to exemplify that than the legend...
Angela Davis: An Autobiography
Part of me loves the title, though I think it's a little reductive. When we think of “power”, we typically think of royalty, government, or even just executive positions of power, but what if power exists in your everyday life? What if there were pri...
48 Laws of Power
I go into every “true story” or autobiography with a grain of salt because I htruly have no way to vet ANYTHING I'm about to read. However, this book and over 30 years of stories, journalism, and investigations solved the murder of Tupac Shakur. I do...
COMPTON STREET LEGEND: Notorious Keffe D’s Street-Level…
This book found me in the inevitable awkward high school years. I checked it out because one of the reviews on the cover said, "this book is for anyone who has ever wondered, 'what's wrong with me?'" Now an Apple TV show, I cannot recommend this book...
We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, a True ...
If you're a writer, then you may be aware that this is a bit of a controversial add. Not because the content is bad, but because there's no shortage of books to improve your writing, some of which are better than this one! However, none of them captu...
Save the Cat!
Fiction
Other worlds and their stories to get you through your day.
This book is one of the handful of books that gave us the genre of “cyberpunk.” As a matter of fact, this book takes place about fifty years before the events of the videogame Cyberpunk 2077. Great companion read for the video game, great read for an...
Neuromancer - (Sprawl Trilogy) by William Gibson (Paperback)
This is the first book that I read as an adult and COULD NOT PUT DOWN. From the opening pages to the very end, I was invested, interested, and most of all entertained! Get you a copy when you can!
Corporate Gunslinger by Doug Engstrom
I love this book so much that the recommendation has a story:
Back in middle school, we had to pick a book from the school library to read and actually write a report on. I haphazardly picked up the sequel to this book, loved it so much I got this o...
Croak (Croak, #1) by Gina Damico
Ava Wilder is an author with a pedigree that speaks for itself, especially in the rom-com novel space. In my estimation, THIS in particular is one of the least talked about ones, and that's a shame because it's actually really fun and surprisingly ac...
Will They or Won't They? by Ava Wilder
So these books are like if Codename: Kids Nextdoor met James Bond novels, except we get to see the characters grow and change as the books go on. This is an incredible read, especially for younger readers.
CHERUB Complete Collection Books 1-12 Boxed Set
Comics
Don't worry! This isn't as nerdy as it seems! This is a collection of some of the most fascinating stories with the most gorgeous and memorable art around. Perfect for a down time read or coffee table decoration.
Have you ever just wondered, "why are superhero stories so dark all of a sudden?" First of all, they've been that way since the beginning, and lightened up into the 60's & 70's. Secondly, they got especially dark AGAIN in the 80's, in large part ...
Watchmen (2019 Edition) by Moore & Gibbons
This is HANDS DOWN one of the best comic books, period, but especially to come out in the past 20 years. It's a limited run mini series of a contained story in a bigger world... Basically, if you read completely blind, you'll have a great time!
Absolute Martian Manhunter by Deniz Camp | DC Comics Series
This might be insane for the casual superhero fan, but yes: Marvel had a really cool idea for a series of comics where the ENTIRE marvel roster became zombies. That being said, not every entry is good! This is hands down the best one, and don't let t...
Marvel Zombies 3 by Fred Van Lente | Comic Series
This is a random one, so please bare with me!
This is a comic, based on a live service video game that only exists on hard drives and cracked servers.
Multiversus was basically Warner Bros. competitor to the Smash Bros. franchise, and they released ...
Multiversus: Collision Detected by Brian Q. Miller
