By Kate Stayman-London

$17.00

There is so much to love about this book! The main character Bea is a "big girl", in the common parlance, plus-sized, who is a fashion blogger. Bea and her posse are dedicated viewers of the dating show Main Squeeze but after tuning in for the new season, Bea takes to her blog to berate the show for its lack of diversity among the contestants. Which leads her to be the next bachelorette to look for love—in front of the whole world. And while Bea has felt the sting of body shaming, she is not without a healthy dose of self-esteem. If you are ready to cheer for the underdog (or really more accurately the everywoman) One to Watch is the one to read!

By Olivier Berggruen

$16.00

This collection of essays examines the work of a handful of 20th century painters with a just-right mix of brain-tickling theory and gleeful engagement with the self-evident physicality of the works themselves. Intelligent art criticism for real people.
