For the next several months, it's just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the moody, swirling sea. Rich with empathy and emotion, Lucy by the Sea vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace, and possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire. At the heart of this story are the deep human connections that unite us even when we're apart -- the pain of a beloved daughter's suffering, the emptiness that comes from the death of a loved one, the promise of a new friendship, and the comfort of an old, enduring love."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6355589</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6355589</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Strout, Elizabeth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6355589109</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781638085027/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng]]></title><description><![CDATA["Cora Zeng is a crime scene cleaner... in Chinatown.

And yet, as horrifying as the experience was, Covid-19 was not actually "the Big One" - the dreaded potential pandemic that haunts the nightmares of epidemiologists and public health officials everywhere, and which will alter life across the world on every meaningful level unless we are ready to deal with it. Indeed, even as we learn to live with Covid-19 and continue to recover from its worst effects, the next pandemic is already lurking around the corner-and it may very well be worse. In The Big One, founding director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Michael T. Osterholm and Mark Olshaker examine past pandemics, highlighting the ways societies both succeeded and failed to address them; trace the Covid-19 pandemic and evaluate how it was handled; and look to the future, projecting what the next pandemics might look like and what must be done to mitigate them. Drawing on years of high-level research as well as cutting-edge analysis and an innovative hypothetical scenario threaded throughout each chapter, The Big One is a gripping, comprehensive, and urgent wake-up call. Because Covid-19 was just a taste of what's to come. If we're going to survive the next big pandemic, we need to be prepared"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6769060</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6769060</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Osterholm, Michael T.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6769060109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316258340/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I Made for Dinner]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the author of The Natural Mother of the Child, an exquisite memoir about an amateur home cook's hard and fast descent into an obsession with food celebrities, including Dessert Person Claire Saffitz, Smitten Kitchen's Deb Perelman, Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, and Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. When the pandemic sends Krys Malcolm Belc and his young children home to live their lives on laptops, he turns to internet chefs for comfort and inspiration. It begins with Stella Parks and her 46 YouTube videos in which she teaches viewers how to make classic, nostalgic American treats like Cheez-Its, Klondike Bars, and Texas sheet cake. But the recipes aren't enough--Belc needs to watch her showcase each ingredient, explain its importance, and weigh each item on a scale. His fixation on recipe videos, and the women who produce them, start to feel like the only thing that makes sense. Most of life has been put on pause, but food is the one thing that continues to change day to day, season to season. Belc captures the joy and pleasure of cooking for a large family, as well as the mundane reality and occasional frustrations that come with simply getting food on the table. In the midst of it all, he feels a spark of inspiration to carry a second baby, a decision that forces him to confront how he has used both the internet and cooking to cope and distract. Following a trans man whose life is largely structured by keeping the family household running, What I Made for Dinner asks the question we all might ask ourselves while elbow-deep in a roasting chicken: Is having the opportunity to cook meals for your family every day a blessing or a curse?]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6913297</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6913297</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Malcolm Belc, Krys]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6913297109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781646223411/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unprecedented Times]]></title><description><![CDATA["Malavika Kannan establishes herself as an literary voice of Gen Z in this piercing coming-of-age debut novel. Which comes first: experience or narrative? Rishi thinks she knows the answer as she arrives on campus for her first year at Stanford. Her future is set-she's going to leave behind the strict trappings of her Indian American childhood in Florida, embrace her queer identity, experiment with love, and write all about it. Within a few months, she gets a new tattoo, makes her first best friend, falls in love with her situationship, and even gets her heart broken. Rishi's final paper for Asian American Autofiction practically writes itself. What is not a part of Rishi's plan, however, is the onset of the COVID pandemic. As the outside world becomes a terrifying place, she increasingly finds solace in the friendships she's made. In lieu of virtual college, Rishi and her classmates join a farm collective and grapple with America's political situation and growing disillusionment-along with sexual tension and responsibility. It's only when those relationships start fracturing under the stress of careless decisions, unrequited crushes, jealousies, and, yes, unprecedented times, that Rishi begins to question her own story. Unprecedented Times captures the beauty, frustration, love, and pain that exists in relationships between best friends, lovers, mothers and daughters, and between storytellers and themselves. Malavika Kannan's fresh, arresting novel is a testament to the power of self-narrative for first-generation Americans: of writing oneself into existence where no previous script exists"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6907002</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6907002</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kannan, Malavika, 2001-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6907002109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250420787/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bury Me Already (it's Nice Down Here)]]></title><description><![CDATA["Raw, honest, and hilarious, Bury Me Already (It's Nice Down Here) chronicles the joy and horror of becoming a mother during challenging times.

After a surprise pregnancy and a marriage proposal, Julia settles (somewhat reluctantly) into a quiet life in a small town. But as 2020 approaches, her world, and the world at large, takes a sharp turn toward unexpected chaos. Through comic vignettes, essays, and diary doodles, Julia recounts the events of her pregnancy and its attendant body horror, a miscarriage, family trauma, marriage, a life-altering accident, and the joy and surprises of parenthood as it all unfolds against the backdrop of local wildfires and a global pandemic.

One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants--some of whom have barely spoken to each other--become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editors Margaret Atwood and Douglas Preston and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn't escape when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming, and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger. Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Jennine Capó Crucet, Joseph Cassara, Angie Cruz, Pat Cummings, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Douglas Preston, Alice Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L.

With no family left, no friends to speak of, and no way to turn back time, Nora has come to France to keep a promise she never got to make: to spread the ashes in a place her mother never got to see. But instead, Nora finds herself on the run through a forest in the night, taking refuge in a dark holloway. And when she wakes, and tries to make her way back to something she recognizes, she realizes that is impossible. Because it is no longer 2021. Questioning everything--including her own sanity--Nora sets out on a journey through a time and place completely foreign to her, and yet one that, much like the time and place she came from, is defined by death, loss, fear, and uncertainty. A journey in which she must find a way to honor her mother--and heal herself--in a world that feels irrevocably broken"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6860204</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6860204</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arnold, Elana K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6860204109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062990884/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unraveling]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch--shearing, spinning, dyeing wool--and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone. The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater. Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother and the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, and other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores and disdains them. What she didn't expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women's rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, and, ultimately, the meaning of home. With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, and exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, and maker--and teaches us all something about creativity and connection."-- Inside front jacket flap.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6359541</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6359541</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Orenstein, Peggy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6359541109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World&apos;s Ugliest Sweater</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063081727/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Real Anthony Fauci]]></title><description><![CDATA[As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual funding for scientific research, allowing him to shape the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe.

To safeguard their families, the nurses are living in a makeshift RV camp close to the hospital; they share food and cigarettes yet keep their work private.

Still processing the legacy of his parents and feeling out the uncertain shape of the world to come, Paul hunkers down with his documentary filmmaker girlfriend Morgane, his music journalist brother Etienne (Micha Lescot), and Etienne's new girlfriend Carole. Squabbling over the minutiae of health protocols and the morality of a hermetic lifestyle mediated by ubiquitous online shopping, the makeshift household finds new ways to lacerate familiar wounds. Yet Paul also finds a surprising refuge in the compulsory quietude of pandemic life, an opportunity to reconnect with the books and art and enchanted forests of his youth. A scabrous French comedy from master filmmaker Olivier Assayas, Suspended Time is a sharply personal and fiercely neurotic ode to the eternal expanse of memory and the allure of life beyond our personal screens.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6917130</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6917130</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6917130109</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle/><language>fre</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=751778952250</image_url></item></channel></rss>
