\"IMalala Yousafzai is a truly inspiring person.\u00a0 At the age of 17, she has already been awarded over 30 international peace awards including the Mother Teresa Memorial Award for Social Justice, the Clinton Global Citizen Award, the Simone de Beauvoir Prize, and of course, most recently, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history. Malala has had an incredible life and her work and story are powerful. To find out why Malala is\u00a0 deserving of so many accolades, check out her biography, I am Malala : The Girl who Stood up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 Available at the John T.

\"DiaryAdmitedly, Malala’s story is pretty heavy and perhaps you\u2019re looking for something a bit lighter. If that is the case, I suggest the late Joan Rivers’ recently released memoir, Diary of a Mad Diva<\/a><\/em>. Written in the typical brazen and unapologetic “Joan Rivers way,” Rivers’ latest memoir (she also penned I Hate Everyone\u2026Starting With <\/em>Me<\/em> in 2013, Bouncing Back<\/em> in 2010, Enter Talking<\/em> in 1986, among others) provides colorful critiques of pop culture, celebrities, current events, and of course, the Rivers family. It\u2019s a simple, funny, and quick read that fans of Joan Rivers will certainly enjoy. Diary of a Mad Diva<\/em> is available in the Haber Lounge at the John T. Richardson Library, Call Number: 792.7028092 R622d2014.<\/p>\n

\"TheNot in the mood for a biography? Do you enjoy games? Than perhaps you will be interested in The Books of Games: Strategy, Tactics, & History<\/a><\/em>. Not only does The Book of Games<\/em> contain the complete rules, playing tips, and helpful examples of 65 games, but with winter quickly approaching, this could very well be the perfect cure for the bout of cabin fever that will inevitably creep up mid-January. This book also includes colorful illustrations of old and new game boards, and interesting facts about the games’ histories, so it\u2019s great to peruse even if you don’t play the games. This beautifully illustrated, 736-page book is the perfect reference for any game lover and is available at the John T. Richardson Library, Call Number: 794 B748b2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
