Happy New Release Tuesday Source readers 📚✨
This week’s shelf is full of books asking big questions—about history, technology, nature, identity, and the futures we’re building.
We’ve got titles like Empire of AI, breaking down the rise and influence of artificial intelligence, The Minneapolis Reckoning exploring race and policing in America, and Africulture, highlighting the deep roots of African people, plants, and agricultural traditions 🌱
We’re also seeing reflections on grief, resilience, and repair with Jesmyn Ward’s On Witness and Respair, alongside books diving into revolution, power, and historical figures like Malcolm in the Desert and Dangerous Dirty Violent and Young.
And for our younger readers, we’ve got new picture books like Tiny T. Rex Tries Soccer and The Big Once-a-Year Family Reunion ⚽🦖💛
Whether you’re interested in AI, Black history, environmental conversations, memoir, or finding something new for the kids, there’s a lot to expand your interest this week. Stop by and see what finds you. 🤎
