★ This Month’s Books:

• Non-Fiction:Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay – A sharp, funny, and thought-provoking collection of essays that delve into modern feminism, culture, and identity. Gay tackles topics ranging from race and gender to pop culture, all with her signature wit and unapologetic honesty. This collection offers a powerful critique of societal expectations while embracing the complexities and contradictions of being a "bad feminist."
• Fiction:The Keeper of Happy Endings by Barbara Davis – A captivating blend of historical fiction and romance, this novel intertwines the lives of two women across different eras. Soline Roussel, a Parisian dressmaker during World War II, crafts bridal gowns believed to guarantee a lifetime of joy. Decades later, in 1980s Boston, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant discovers a forgotten wedding dress in Soline's former shop. As their stories converge, they uncover shared heartaches and the healing power of friendship. This tale beautifully explores love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.
