    Cathy Yandell's The French Art of Living Well is a delightful look at French culture, from literature to cuisine to humor and more, showing how the French have captured that magic elixir known as joie de vivre. 
     
     
     
    What is joie de vivre, and why is it a fundamentally French concept? 
     
     
     
    In search of those ineffable qualities that make up the joy of living, this lively book takes listeners on a voyage to France through forays into literature, history, and culture. How does art contribute to daily life? Why is cuisine such a central part of French existence? Why are the French more physical than many other cultures? How do French attitudes toward time speak volumes about their sense of pleasure and celebration? And finally, to what extent is this zest for life exportable? These and other questions give way to a dynamic sketch of French life today. 
     
     
     
    Peppered with anecdotes and humor, this book uncovers some of the secrets of the celebrated French art of living well. Drawing from her years of living in France as a student, professor, and mother, Yandell crafts an honest and profound appraisal of French culture and how la joie de vivre can be developed in anyone's life.

    A page-turning, existential romp through the life and times of the world’s most polarizing punctuation mark 
     
    The semicolon. Stephen King, Hemingway, Vonnegut, and Orwell detest it. Herman Melville, Henry James, and Rebecca Solnit love it. But why? When is it effective? Have we been misusing it? Should we even care? 
    In Semicolon, Cecelia Watson charts the rise and fall of this infamous punctuation mark, which for years was the trendiest one in the world of letters. But in the nineteenth century, as grammar books became all the rage, the rules of how we use language became both stricter and more confusing, with the semicolon a prime victim. Taking us on a breezy journey through a range of examples—from Milton’s manuscripts to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letters from Birmingham Jail” to Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep—Watson reveals how traditional grammar rules make us less successful at communicating with each other than we’d think. Even the most die-hard grammar fanatics would be better served by tossing the rule books and learning a better way to engage with language. 
    Through her rollicking biography of the semicolon, Watson writes a guide to grammar that explains why we don’t need guides at all, and refocuses our attention on the deepest, most primary value of language: true communication.

    Red Is Democrat: What Happens When a Party Forgets to Change 
    by Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD 
    Do today's Democrats really stand for the values they claim—equality, justice, science, compassion? Or have those ideals become a smokescreen for something far more troubling? 
    In Red Is Democrat, Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD, takes readers on a bold, meticulously documented journey behind the public image of America’s Democrat Party. With clarity and conviction, he examines the disconnect between the party’s professed values and its actual policies and historical trajectory. What emerges is a revealing look at how a powerful political movement has managed to sidestep accountability—often by rewriting its own past and projecting its faults onto others. 
    Have the parties really flipped? Or is that narrative a carefully constructed myth? Why do so many of the injustices Democrats say they oppose—racism, intolerance, misogyny, injustice, greed, and so forth—persist within their own ranks? And how can ordinary Americans across the political spectrum cut through the noise to find the truth? 
    Whether you identify as a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or simply a concerned citizen, this book invites you to look past slogans, scrutinize the record, and reconsider what it really means to stand for justice and truth in public life.
