Slayers, Every One of Us: How One Girl in All the World Showed Us How To Hold On
An enthusiastic and emotional account of how personal lives and a fandom community can entwine. Potential readers should know that while the authors convey much love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the amount of content focusing on the TV show is relatively small, resulting in a book more likely to satisfy fans of the podcast specifically than Buffy fans in general.

Dressed in Black: The Shangri-Las and Their Recorded Legacy

The Secret Public: How Music Moved Queer Culture from the Margins to the Mainstream
This title is not merely essential for any collection on popular music or queer history. Savage’s ability to turn a wealth of information into a compellingly readable narrative should make this volume of interest to readers of all stripes.

Nora Ephron at the Movies: A Visual Celebration of the Writer and Director Behind ‘When Harry Met Sally,’ ‘You’ve Got Mail,’ ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ and More
A solid pick for public libraries. Devotees of Ephron will find this volume delightful to delve into, while casual cinephiles will enjoy it as a thoughtful analysis of an influential writer-director and her various legacies.
PREMIUM
