Chromakopia

by Tyler the Creator

"Chromakopia is another triumph for Tyler, The Creator. It seamlessly blends introspection with catchy hits, offering an album that’s as enjoyable to listen to as it is thought-provoking. Tyler once again proves he’s a master of his craft, delivering both personal vulnerability and musical brilliance."

The Fraud

by Zadie Smith

"The Tichborne Trial, a real historical scandal, serves as the backdrop for this wonderfully bizarre study of human relationships. In The Fraud, Zadie Smith spins a quirky and anachronistic tale out of characters that are infuriatingly human – you will hate them, you will love them, and they will remind you of yourself in ways that will make you beyond uncomfortable. Follow a sweeping tale that touches upon topics ranging from colonialism to suffrage to the art of writing itself, and let yourself be captivated by Smith’s caustic humor and poetic writing style. Head over to your local library and find yourself a copy of The Fraud today!"

Howl's Moving Castle

by Studio Ghibli

"Howl's Moving Castle is a celebration of imagination and the beauty of humanity, filled with breathtaking visuals and layered with themes of love, courage, and the value of inner strength. The character interactions, visuals, and soundtrack meld beautifully into two hours filled with whimsy to create a movie with all the hallmarks of a classic Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki film."

Chipotle, Hot Table, & Starbucks

"The Chipotle Sofritas bowl has a good flavor and is perfect for people who don’t eat meat or want to try something different. It was very filling as well."
