The Every by Dave Eggers

Title: The Every

Author: Dave Eggers

Genre: Fiction 

Stop! Before you read this sequel, grab the first book in the series, "The Circle"! The Every continues the story set forth in The Circle, where civilization is in a hyper social media state. Every move is recorded and it really showcases the dark side of social media. The Every shows the next levels of the world we see in The Circle, a highly scrutinized public realm with few chances for the characters to go unmonitored. This book, like The Circle, is both funny and horrifying at times and really forces you to look at your own relationship with social media and privacy. You will root for the main character throughout, but can she really stop all the dominoes from toppling? Read it and find out (then think about how you can lessen the grip of technology in your life)!

Ballad for Sophie by Filipe Melo

Title: Ballad for Sophie

Author: Filipe Melo

Genre: Graphic Novel 

A fictional graphic novel that follows the life of a renowned pianist who ends up as a recluse in his later years. The pianist recounts his life and the things he wishes he might've done differently, misfortune and regrets. The art is beautiful in this graphic novel and there seems to be a lot of coincidence with the characters. I was just going to read a little of it at a time, but it immediately drew me in and I read it in one sitting! Set aside a couple of hours and check this one out.
