Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic Michiko Kakutani shares 100 personal, thought-provoking essays about books that have mattered to her and that help illuminate the world we live in today--with beautiful illustrations throughout.

In the introduction to her new collection of essays, Ex Libris 100+ Books to Read and Reread, Michiko Kakutani writes: "In a world riven by political and social divisions, literature can connect people across time zones and zip codes, across cultures and religions, national boundaries and historical eras. It can give us an understanding of lives very different from our own, and a sense of the shared joys and losses of human experience."

Readers will discover novels and memoirs by some of the most gifted writers working today; favorite classics worth reading or rereading; and nonfiction works, both old and new, that illuminate our social and political landscape and some of today's most pressing issues, from climate change to medicine to the consequences of digital innovation. There are essential works in American history (The Federalist Papers, The Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.); books that address timely cultural dynamics (Elizabeth Kolbert's The Sixth Extinction, Daniel J. Boorstin's The Image, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale); classics of children's literature (the Harry Potter novels, Where the Wild Things Are); and novels by acclaimed contemporary writers like Don DeLillo, William Gibson, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Ian McEwan.

With richly detailed illustrations by lettering artist Dana Tanamachi that evoke vintage bookplates, Ex Libris is an impassioned reminder of why reading matters more than ever.

Must have sunscreen for kids!
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 3), Size: 5.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is our favorite sunscreen. It is easy to apply stays on and my kids do not get burned. I have a 9, 8 and 6 year-old we live in Florida and this is the only sunscreen we buy for their body. It does not cause any skin irritation.

Lightweight and non-greasy
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin, and I really like the scent. It absorbs well and does its job protecting from the sun. I sent these to Cuba, where the sun is very strong, and my mom is really happy with the results. Overall, a great sunscreen.

Fantastic sensitive skin mineral lotion
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Mineral sunscreen is required in Hawaii. They don't allow the chemical variety as they are trying to protect the reefs. The Banana Boat Sensitive 100% Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Twin Pack is a great option for reliable, gentle sun protection. Made with 100% mineral actives, it’s perfect for sensitive skin and provides strong broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays. The lotion is lightweight, blends in well without leaving a heavy white cast, and feels comfortable for all-day wear. It’s also water-resistant, making it a dependable choice for outdoor activities. With the value of a twin pack, it’s a smart buy for keeping your skin safe and protected. We used it in Hawaii and it was popular among our crew. It didn't last long!

On my Safe List from allergist!
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I like this product because it is nice and creamy, has no odor, it rubs in easily and it stays on. I need constant sun protection every day and this one seems to provide it, even when boating. I have no itching or irritation of skin or eyes after using. So much better than a sticky spray that feels like a plastic coating when it dries. I am getting better protection with this one, and you don’t feel like you’ve gotta wash it all off at the end of the day. Very happy I tried it, and I’m going to stick with it.

Dries your skin and leaves a cast, but very effective and dry to the touch
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen is super effective for preventing sunburn, I think it works for longer than other sunscreens. It’s also completely dry to the touch, it’s the least greasy sunscreen I’ve ever worn in my life. There are drawbacks though, it makes my skin super dry, and it leaves a little bit of a white cast.
