Neon Angel is a riveting and intensely personal account of Cherie Currie's journey through the highs and lows of fame. At the tender age of fifteen, she became the groundbreaking lead singer of the '70s teenage all-girl rock band, The Runaways.

With her signature Bowie haircut and fishnet stockings, Cherie lit up the stage with provocative teen-rebellion songs like "Cherry Bomb," "Queens of Noise," and "Born to Be Bad." The Runaways, featuring Joan Jett and Lita Ford on guitar, Jackie Fox on bass, and Sandy West on drums, catapulted from playing small clubs to selling out major stadiums. They headlined shows with opening acts like the Ramones, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, and Blondie.

On the surface, this is a story of girl empowerment and fame, but it also reveals the darker side of the music industry. Cherie's narrative exposes the struggles with drugs, sexual abuse, and violence that she and her bandmates faced in a decadent, high-pressure music scene. These runaways had to grow up fast, experiencing things that no teenage girls should.

Neon Angel stunningly re-creates a bygone era of rock and roll, providing an inside look at growing up under the relentless glare of the public eye. It chronicles one tough woman's fight to reclaim her life, offering a shocking, funny, and touching re-creation of a bygone era of rock and roll.

Born on a Blue Day provides a unique window into the mind of Daniel Tammet, one of the world's fifty living autistic savants. As the first and only autistic savant to share his compelling life story, Tammet offers an inspiring narrative about his extraordinary abilities and the challenges he faces.

This engaging memoir explores how Tammet, a high-functioning British autistic savant with Asperger's syndrome, experiences the world. Despite his impairments in abstract thinking, routine deviation, and social interaction, he performs incredible feats of memorization and mental calculation. Notably, Tammet can multiply and divide large numbers with computer-like speed and accuracy.

He also has an unusual neurological syndrome called synesthesia, which allows him to perceive numbers and words as shapes, colors, textures, and motions. Tammet's life journey takes us from a challenging childhood to his adult achievements, including teaching in Lithuania, achieving financial independence, and sustaining a long-term romantic relationship.

Through his unique voice, Tammet offers insight into what makes us all human—our minds. Born on a Blue Day is a fascinating exploration of what it means to be special and how such uniqueness contributes to the richness of human experience.
