SEVERANCE

“To live in a city is to take part in and to propagate its impossible systems. To wake up. To go to work in the morning. It is also to take pleasure in those systems because, otherwise, who could repeat the same routines, year in, year out?”

Candance Chen, a young woman so devoted to her work and routine, barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. She continued to go and eventually moved into the office as families flee, companies go bankrupt, and the subway stops. When Candace finally realizes she won’t be able to survive on her own, she finally leaves the empty city, rethinking what her life’s work means and what it takes to start society anew.

GREEN ESCAPES

An insider's guide to the world's greatest 'secret' gardens, green spaces, and pocket parks tucked away in cities around the globe

Cities everywhere are graced with charming but little-known, off-the-beaten-track gardens and green spaces, offering urbanites in the know a chance to immerse themselves in nature. These often small, well-kept secrets are not as grand as those on the tourist trail but are equally delightful and rewarding to visit, if you know where to find them. Green Escapes is the revelatory insider's guide to these secret gems. Each of them open to the public, the gardens range from pocket parks, courtyards, and rooftop terraces, to community gardens and more.

FOX 8

An enchanting and darkly comic fable of human greed and nature, from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo, exquisitely illustrated by Chelsea Cardinal

Fox 8 has always been curious, and a bit of a daydreamer. And, by hiding outside houses at dusk and listening to children's bedtime stories, he has learned to speak 'Yuman'.

The power of words and the stories built from them is intoxicating for a fox with a poetic soul, but there is 'danjur' on the horizon: a new shopping mall is being built, cutting off his pack's food supply. To save himself and his fellow foxes, Fox 8 will have to set out on a harrowing quest from the wilds of nature deep into the dark heart of suburbia.

Judy Blume is beloved by her fans who stretch from the children of today to the adults who read her books when they were growing up and were astonished at finding a novelist who spoke so clearly, so uncondescendingly, so directly, to their concerns, whether racism (Iggie's House), ma********on (Deenie), periods (Margaret), or death (Tiger Eyes) and will always recall her as the author who understood.

Judy Blume opened doors for young adult fiction since The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo, her first book, was published in 1969. "It's hard to understand, now that YA fiction is so widely written and accepted, that in the early 80s no one else wrote like Judy Blume," says novelist Charlotte Mendelson. "It wasn't only that her protagonists were funny, and sympathetic; they lived in a totally recognisable ordinary world, and had real, painful, modern problems; reading them made one feel much less alone."

Condensed from a Guardian article on Judy Blume, please read the full article on our Linktree in bio, about how Blume is recognized for her distinguished contribution to American letters, but is also one of the most challenged authors of the 21st century.

*You can get any of these Judy Blume titles at Aksara "Last Copy" Sale on Tokopedia, or you can also DM us for a special price to buy the whole bundle.

Maximum City by Suketu Mehta

One of the titles in our Megacities theme in 2019, the title is so fitting for a stunning metropolis like Mumbai. Mehta gives us an insider’s view of this intense and ever-changing city: the criminal underworld of rival Muslim and Hindu gangs, the life of a bar dancer raised amid poverty and abuse, the inner sanctums of Bollywood, and the countless villagers who come in search of a better life and end up living on the sidewalks. Interweaved with these stories, Mehta recounts his own efforts to make a home in Mumbai after more than twenty years abroad.

Art 
by Patrick McDonnell



A heartwarming story about Art, who loves to make art. "This Is Art. And This Is Art. Art And His Art. Can You Tell Them Apart?" the book begins, playfully combining words and images. A joyous celebration of art, childhood, imagination and feeling completely and utterly free to create without judgment by cartoonist and picture-book artist Patrick McDonnell, whose creations range from the comic strip Mutts to another one of our favorites: Caldecott prize biography of Jane Goodall, Me…. Jane.

Butter Battle Book
by Dr. Seuss 

Which side of the bread you spread your butter on is the subject of an ongoing Cold War between the Zooks and the Yooks - a metaphor for disagreement between opposing groups, and at the time it was written, symbolic of the ideological dispute between capitalism and communism. Dr. Seuss asks readers, through his signature rhymes and psychedelic illustrations, to think about whether these differences are really worth waging a war for generations and an arms race to produce bigger and better weapons.
