Other Indie FavoritesYou Will Not Have My Hate, by Antoine Leiris (Penguin Press, $23) “This slender tome began as a social media sensation. Shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, Leiris, a husband and father, wrote an open letter to the perpetrators of those attacks, stating time and again that they would not have his hate, despite the fact that he lost his wife and the mother of their infant son. This memoir closely follows the hours after the attack, chronicling Leiris’ thoughts and emotions for the next several days, up through the funeral for his wife. Though brief, this is a powerful meditation on grief and resilience and the importance of building a legacy of forgiveness for his son.” —Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA

The Comet Seekers, by Helen Sedgwick (HarperCollins, $25.99) “This moving novel's unique tone and lyrical beauty are established from the opening sentence and are sustained throughout a multi-generational story about the tension between loyalty to family and home and the lure and opportunities of the outside world." —Joe Strebel, Anderson’s Bookshop, Naperville, IL

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteAm I Alone Here?: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live, by Peter Orner (Catapult, $16.95) “From beloved novelist and short-story writer Peter Orner comes a collection of essays on the reading life. Orner considers Chekhov in a hospital cafeteria, Welty on a remote island. He also throws Julian Barnes out the window of a moving car—after all, who would trust a man who only talked about what he loved? Behind and around and between these meditations flit the ghosts of the author’s life: his late father, his lost marriage, his self-deprecating take on his own career. The result is a book overflowing with charm—wry, delectable, laugh-out-loud funny, and an absolute treasure.” —Mairead Staid, Literati Bookstore, Ann Arbor, MI

For Teen Readers The Weight of Zero, by Karen Fortunati (Delacorte Press/Random House Children�s Books, $17.99) “After Catherine is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she doesn’t believe that she’ll survive. She knows that, while right now she’s ok, soul-crushing depression, which she calls Zero, is coming for her. So she decides that she won’t let it get her—she’ll end things before it hits. But she has a few things to do first. Catherine’s bucket list becomes an unlikely source for change. This book absolutely floored me. It is by far the best depiction of depression that I’ve read in a very long time. I cannot express enough what this book meant to me. Read it. It’ll change you.” —Flannery Fitch, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA
