Star Wars and Superheroes: New Books Are In
We realize it's the summer semester, and those of you taking classes are hard at work -- it's no joke to fit sixteen weeks of coursework into five or ten weeks! But, well... we have new books in, and there are a ton of great titles on the list. Can we entice you with one? Or ten? Check out our recommendations for summer reads below:
Neil Gaiman explores everything from ghosts to gumshoes in The View from the Cheap Seats, his latest collection of nonfiction, and recounts the daring adventures of deities, dwarfs, and giants in Norse Mythology.
We have new installments of the Jessica Jones comics. In Jessica Jones: Alias. Vol. 3, which collects Alias #10 and #16-21, Jessica searches for Spider-woman, a teenage superhero who has gone missing. Jessica Jones: Alias. Vol. 4 collects Alias #22-28 and delves into the backstory of the superhero turned private detective. In the mood for more comics and graphic novels? Let characters like James Bond and the Wizard of Oz guide you through an exploration of queer theory and activism in Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker, or check out seventy-eight years of Gotham's guardian in The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture by Glen Weldon.
Looking for books that have made it to the screen? Pick up Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher, the bestselling novel behind the controversial Netflix TV show, or The Gunslinger by Stephen King, the first book in the Dark Tower series and the inspiration behind the film coming out this August.
Gabourey Sidibe talks about family life, first jobs, and her rise to fame in This is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare. The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher is a recollection of the late actress's experiences during the filming of the first Star Wars movie. And in George Lucas: A Life, Brian Jay Jones describes the creator behind Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
Read local! Check out The Road Home, a book of poetry by PVCC's very own Ben Sloan.
You can find all of these books and more in our catalog.
