Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers - especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, whom her family can never know about.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 181
Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time - that's all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey's life. Accused but not convicted of the brutal abduction of a 13-year-old girl, Ted is now a free man - and public enemy number one. He flees north to keep a low profile amid the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake. There, Ted's lawyer introduces him to private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer.

While other boys played outside, he stayed indoors reading Greek mythology. And being gay and overweight, he got used to diminishing himself. But little by little, he started learning from all the strange, lonely outcasts in history, and he started to feel hope. In this collection of personal essays, Guy talks about finding a sense of belonging at Berkeley, being typecast as the “Sassy Gay Friend”, and more....

Throwing her hardworking Liberian parents through a loop, Retta abandons her plan to attend med school after graduating Duke University to move to Hollywood to star in her own sitcom - like her comedy heroes Lucille Ball and Roseanne.

If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate; she works an easy job at a hip art gallery and lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?

Publisher's Summary
everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is the story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, only to meet all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, all while learning to feel a little better about being an alien - based on the enormously popular Twitter account @jonnysun.
Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, a lonely alien who, for the first time ever, finds a home on our planet after learning that earthlings can feel lonely, too. Jomny finds friendship in a bear tired of other creatures running away in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, an owl working its way to being wise, a tree feeling stuck in one place, a tadpole coming to terms with turning into a frog, a dying ghost, a puppy unable to express itself, and many more.
Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all of us earthbound creatures here on this planet, we can all be reminded that sometimes it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly are.

A treasure
Jomny Sun (of twitter fame) is an absolute treasure. The story of his explorer-alien is charming in book form, and the audiobook adds such nice detail and emotion, it’s worth “reading” both. The characters and plot(s) are deceptively simple with occasional aphorisms (some taken from his genius twitter account) that are deeply thought-provoking. And yet it’d make a great children’s story, too. Highly recommend for literally everyone.

Amazing
This book is so cute and meaningful. Honestly it’s really quotable as well. There’s something in it for everyone to relate to about feeling like you’re alone in what you’re feeling, but they point is you’re not really. The only thing I didn’t like was that there wasn’t more! I’d recommend it to everyone because I think everyone could get something out of it and enjoy the story.

AMAZING
What did you love best about Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too?
It was more detailed than the paper book, an entirely new adventure, but just as funny, truthful, and heartfelt.
What other book might you compare Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too to and why?
There is no other comparison. It's a gem.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
I love the characters in the book. Their stories, adventures, grief, happiness all make the book amazing. I definitely recommend the ebook and paper book. Jonny Sun is incredible.
