The thing is, its hard to fake being straight when Bo, the only openly queer girl at school, is so annoyingly perfect. And smart. And talented. And cute. So cute. Either way, Yami isnt going to make the same mistake again. If word got back to her mom, she could face a lot worse than rejection. So shell have to start asking, WWSGD: What would a straight girl do? 

Told in a captivating voice that is by turns hilarious, vulnerable, and searingly honest, The Lesbianas Guide to Catholic School explores the joys and heartaches of living your full truth out loud.

Title: We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story

Author: Simu Liu

Narrator: Simu Liu

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8:10:27

Language: English

Release date: 05-17-22

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

The star of Marvels first Asian superhero film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, tells his own origin story of being a Chinese immigrant, his battles with cultural stereotypes and his own identity, becoming a TV star, and landing the role of a lifetime.

In this honest, inspiring and relatable memoir, newly-minted superhero Simu Liu chronicles his family's journey from China to the bright lights of Hollywood with razor-sharp wit and humor.

Simu's parents left him in the care of his grandparents, then brought him to Canada when he was four. Life as a Canuck, however, is not all that it was cracked up to be; Simu's new guardians lack the gentle touch of his grandparents, resulting in harsh words and hurt feelings. His parents, on the other hand, find their new son emotionally distant and difficult to relate to - although they are related by blood, they are separated by culture, language, and values. 

As Simu grows up, he plays the part of the pious child flawlessly - he gets straight A's, crushes national math competitions and makes his parents proud. But as time passes, he grows increasingly disillusioned with the path that has been laid out for him. Less than a year out of college, at the tender age of 22, his life hits rock bottom when he is laid off from his first job as an accountant. Left to his own devices, and with nothing left to lose, Simu embarks on a journey that will take him far outside of his comfort zone into the world of show business. 

Through a swath of rejection and comical mishaps, Simu's determination to carve out a path for himself leads him to not only succeed as an actor, but also to open the door to reconciling with his parents.

We Were Dreamers is more than a celebrity memoir - it's a story about growing up between cultures, finding your family, and becoming the master of your own extraordinary circumstance.

Author: Eliza Smith, Haley Swanson

Narrator: Gail Shalan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:45:12

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

A feminist anthology inspired by legendary Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Browns Sex and the Single Girl, featuring twenty-four new essays on the triumphs and heartbreaks of modern singlehood from acclaimed and bestselling authors, including Kristen Arnett, Morgan Parker, Evette Dionne, and Melissa Febos.

Sixty years ago, Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl sent shockwaves through the United States, selling more than two million copies in three weeks. Helens message was radical for its time: marriage wasnt essential for women to lead rich, fulfilling lives.

Now, in these critical, wry, and expansive essays, twenty-four writers reconsider Helens advice and how it applies to their own paths, fielding topics that she couldntor wouldntconceive of in 1962: contraception and abortion (an omission demanded by her publisher), queer and trans womanhood, polyamory, celibacy, interracial dating, bodies of all kinds, consent, sex work, IVF, and the pop culture that both saves and fails us.

Eliza Smith and Haley Swansons revisionist anthology honors Browns irreverent spirit while also validating our modern experiences of singlehood, encouraging us all to reclaim joy where its so often been denied.

Summary:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

''[A] scorching treatise on toxic masculinity. Josephs critiques of the patriarchy... both overt and ingrained are razor-sharp, but its the clear-eyed reckoning of his own place within it that tethers the soul of his book.'' Publishers Weekly

''Joseph has learned a great deal from bell hooks here, and I think she would be proud because Patriarchy Blues is such a moving, inspiring, rigorous vision for living. Robert Jones, Jr., New York Times bestselling author of The Prophets

In this personal and poignant collection, the author of the New York Times bestseller The Black Friend examines the culture of masculinity through the lens of a Black man. 

What does it mean to be a man today? How does the pervasive yet elusive idea of toxic masculinity actually reflect mens experiencesparticularly those of colorand how they navigate the world?

In this thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections, Frederick Joseph contemplates these questions and more as he explores issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint. From fatherhood, and manning up to abuse and therapy, he fearlessly and thoughtfully tackles the complex realities of mens lives today and their significance for society, lending his insights as a Black man.

Written in Josephs unique voice, with an intelligence and raw honesty that demonstrates both his vulnerability and compassion, Patriarchy Blues forces us to consider the joys, pains, and destructive nature of manhood and the stereotypes it engenders.
