Maria Dahvana Headley is a New York Times-bestselling author. Her book The Mere Wife was named by the Washington Post as one of its Notable Works of Fiction in 2018. She’s written for both teenagers and adults, in a variety of genres and forms. But most recently, she published—don’t freak out—a new translation of Beowulf. That’s right, the super long poem that you hated in High School. But she wants you to rethink everything you know about Beowulf. It may not be as dusty and inaccessible as you think.

Rachel Bloom is perhaps best known for her TV show, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which tells the story of a young woman coming to terms with her mental health—while desperately chasing after one of her exes. Somehow, along the way, her bizarre story teaches viewers about mental illness, gender and sexuality, women’s rights, Jewish guilt, pretzel-making and so much more. But now that the TV show is all wrapped up, Bloom has written a book. It’s called I Want to be Where the Normal People Are. And it's great.
