If Meet Me in the Bathroom traced New York City's underground Indie scene, Where Are Your Boys Tonight? draws a wide circle around an emo culture that would grace the stages of the mainstream and become bigger than anyone ever thought possible. There was Pete Wentz, the Fall Out Boy leader who launched a litany of scene-stealing bands and preposterous side hustles, and Gerard Way, the wizard behind My Chemical Romance and The Black Parade. Panic! at the Disco and Paramore exploded soon after--a pair of intrepid outsiders who got massive playing by rules uniquely their own. Told from within the scenes that created this big bang, Where Are Your Boys Tonight? follows first-hand accounts of New Jersey basement shows and Long Island VFW hall gigs, where bands like Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, Thursday, Lifetime, and Taking Back Sunday laid the foundation for the explosion of rock's most polarizing (and addictive) sub-genre. New Jersey native and former Billboard staff writer Chris Payne experienced much of emo's mainstream moment from sweaty crowds and mosh pits, and in Where Are Your Boys Tonight?, he reexamines these bands as they come of age and sky-rocket to fame within a genre rife with contradictions: avowing punk ethos while walking the VMAs red carpet; creating outlets for mental health struggles while perhaps inadvertently turning them into a crucial part of belonging; building fandoms significantly comprising young women and LGBTQ+ kids in an environment that was often toxic and unsafe. Set at the unique intersection of regional emo scenes and the rise of worldwide social media communities like MySpace and Tumblr, Where Are Your Boys Tonight? is a deeply personal, uncompromisingly emotional, and occasionally absurd account--featuring interviews with musicians like Pete Wentz, Chris Carrabba, and Jim Adkins; journalists like Leslie Simon, Andy Greenwald, and Hanif Abdurraqib; and the managers, idolizing scenesters, and won-over fans that made this all possible.",2022,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7gwzn4y5xtcwxtamgqbxrn.jpg?v=45f8ac9970","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7gwzmttrxftysw0bh1pnsn.png?v=15393a03ec","LiF7I;x[NGS1~otRadR%-6Vrx]Ri","5.00",1,480,545,0,"complete",true,false,[18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,15],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":7},"01kx7gwzn1zqbcmb8cq8x80ykm","chris-payne-ncie","Chris Payne","author",[30,34,38],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},84,"Music","music",{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},88,"Biography","biography",[],[],[],[],[47],{"id":48,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":49,"format_label":50,"page_count":16,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":51,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":52,"asin":7,"publisher":53,"language":10,"quality_score":54,"submission_status":55},"01kx7gwzn4y5xtcwxtamgqbxrn","unknown","Unknown","2022-11","9780063251281","Dey Street Books",10,"approved",{"summary":7,"pace":57,"complexity":58,"complexity_score":15,"audience":59,"mood":60,"themes":63,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":64},"moderate","light","adult",[61,62],"nostalgic","reflective",[],[65,66],"substance-abuse","suicide",{"id":48,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":49,"format_label":50,"page_count":16,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":51,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":52,"asin":7,"publisher":53,"language":10},[],"2026-07-11T02:42:57.000000Z",[71,112,152,186,231,271,308,341,372,404],{"id":72,"slug":73,"title":74,"description":75,"primary_cover_url":76,"cover_blurhash":77,"first_publish_year":78,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":79,"authors":80,"genres":89,"series":101,"enrichment":107},"01krtpv8jyjn8sj96a6j85e1b0","homecoming-the-story-of-southern-gospel-music-through-the-eyes-of-its-best-loved-performers-7iox","Homecoming The Story of Southern Gospel Music Through the Eyes of Its Best-loved Performers","Renowned gospel musician Bill Gaither shares the history of Southern Gospel music through the personal stories of its most beloved performers.

Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City tells the story of the men who built it, centered on architect Daniel Burnham, who battled financial setbacks, engineering failures, and the death of his design partner to raise the \"White City\" from a swampy park in barely two years.\n\nRunning alongside that story is a darker one. H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",5,464,[124],{"id":125,"slug":126,"name":127},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[129,130,134,135,136,140],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":131,"name":132,"slug":133,"is_fiction":20},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":21},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":141,"name":142,"slug":143,"is_fiction":21},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":146,"complexity":7,"audience":59,"mood":147,"themes":150,"setting_period":7,"summary":151,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[148,149],"dark","tense",[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.

It examines the social and institutional structures that have underpinned the music at particular stages in its history, from the 1930s through to the present, and considers its place as a component of the entertainment industry. Among the musicians introduced are Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Billie Holliday and Lester Young.Peter Townsend's distinctive approach to his subject includes a consideration of representations of jazz in other art forms, including films and literary texts, such as the fiction of Ralph Ellison, Jack Kerouac and Toni Morrison, and the poetry of Langston Hughes. He also introduces the work of jazz-influenced painters such as Stuart Davis and Jackson Pollock, and discusses the significance of photography in jazz.The book also explores the influence of jazz on other art forms, the 'mythology' of jazz, its place in consumer culture and its relation to a number of issues, such as ethnicity and individualism, that have affected American art and society.This book will be of lasting interest to anyone with a passion for jazz music.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27h3rv76dt6zk2r5k6p27g.jpg?v=4b82bbd65a","LhON5uIU%MM{4nRjofWB~q%MM{tQ",2019,211,[466],{"id":467,"slug":468,"name":469},"01kx27h3rpdxjrf3ezretvnhxp","peter-townsend-lj0w","Peter Townsend",[471,472],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":57,"complexity":7,"audience":59,"mood":475,"themes":477,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[476,62],"informative",[],{"id":479,"slug":480,"title":481,"description":482,"primary_cover_url":483,"cover_blurhash":484,"first_publish_year":485,"community_rating_avg":486,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":487,"authors":488,"genres":493,"series":508,"enrichment":509},"01kx7cny3gy9rx4j1wdahfmvkq","ill-be-the-one-sako","I'll be the One","Diverse book recommended by The Today Show * A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year * Bank Street Best Book of the Year * YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults * ALA's Rainbow Book List Top 10 for Teen Readers The world of K-Pop has never met a star like this.

Fat girls shouldn't dance. Wear bright colors. Shouldn't call attention to themselves.

She'll challenge thousands of other performers in an internationally televised competition looking for the next K-pop star, and she'll do it better than anyone else. When Skye nails her audition, she's immediately swept into a whirlwind of countless practices, shocking performances, and the drama that comes with reality TV. What she doesn't count on are the highly fat-phobic beauty standards of the Korean pop entertainment industry, her sudden media fame and scrutiny, or the sparks that soon fly with her fellow competitor, Henry Cho.

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2021 BY BARACK OBAMA * THE WASHINGTON POST * NPR * ESQUIRE * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY * GOODREADS * THE MILLIONS * READER’S DIGEST * PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER * EERIE READER * PUBLIC RADIO TULSA * CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY * KIRKUS REVIEWS “Feels truer and more mesmerizing than some true stories. It’s a packed time capsule that doubles as a stick of dynamite.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Opal is a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude, Afro-punk before that term existed. Coming of age in Detroit, she can’t imagine settling for a 9-to-5 job—despite her unusual looks, Opal believes she can be a star. So when the aspiring British singer\u002Fsongwriter Neville Charles discovers her at a bar’s amateur night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together for the fledgling Rivington Records. In early seventies New York City, just as she’s finding her niche as part of a flamboyant and funky creative scene, a rival band signed to her label brandishes a Confederate flag at a promotional concert. Opal’s bold protest and the violence that ensues set off a chain of events that will not only change the lives of those she loves, but also be a deadly reminder that repercussions are always harsher for women, especially black women, who dare to speak their truth. Decades later, as Opal considers a 2016 reunion with Nev, music journalist S. Sunny Shelton seizes the chance to curate an oral history about her idols. Sunny thought she knew most of the stories leading up to the cult duo’s most politicized chapter. But as her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens to blow up everything. Provocative and chilling, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev features a backup chorus of unforgettable voices, a heroine the likes of which we’ve not seen in storytelling, and a daring structure, and introduces a bold new voice in contemporary fiction.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7e1e6acj915v99325a8pmn.jpg?v=58429d91ca","LVQQjar?~BxF?Gg2IpayoybubabH",2021,364,[526],{"id":527,"slug":528,"name":529},"01kx7e1e65hq1gqj0e8ssq43vc","dawnie-walton-daof","Dawnie Walton",[531,535,539],{"id":532,"name":533,"slug":534,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":536,"name":537,"slug":538,"is_fiction":20},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":57,"complexity":7,"audience":59,"mood":542,"themes":543,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[61,339],[544,545],"dual-timeline","betrayal",{"id":547,"slug":548,"title":549,"description":550,"primary_cover_url":551,"cover_blurhash":552,"first_publish_year":485,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":553,"authors":554,"genres":575,"series":582,"enrichment":591},"01kq88ntqh7pq2t6dxj8khzn37","who-was-celia-cruz-svel","Who Was Celia Cruz?","Discover the life story of Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, in this engaging biography for young readers.

You must always paint love.' The young Mary Cassatt never thought moving to Paris after the Civil War was going to be easy, but when, after a decade of work, her submission to the Paris Salon is rejected, Mary's fierce determination wavers. Her father is imploring her to return to Philadelphia to find a husband before it is too late, her sister Lydia is falling mysteriously ill, and worse, Mary is beginning to doubt herself. Then one evening a friend introduces her to Edgar Degas and her life changes forever. Years later she will learn that he had begged the introduction, but in that moment their meeting seems a miracle. So begins the defining period of her life and the most tempestuous of relationships. In I Always Loved You, Robin Oliveira brilliantly re-creates the irresistible world of Bell Époque Paris, writing with grace and uncommon insight into the passion and foibles of the human heart. 'What a joy it is to be back in Bell Époque Paris with my old artist friends, guided by the masterful pen of Robin Oliveira whose finely crafted language brings to light the complicated relationships of four of the principals of the Impressionist movement - Cassatt, Degas, Manet, Morisot. Only an omniscient narrator has the latitude to disclose the private yearnings and fears of these four as they grapple with issues of art execution, scathing reviews, self-doubt, elusive fame, tempestuous love, and creeping morality. Here, in beautiful prose, juicy with nuance and depth, is the intimate, heart-wrenching story behind Impressionist art history, with Mary Cassatt at its center. A glorious achievement.' Susan Vreeland, author of Luncheon of the Boating Party 'I Always Loved Youis a marvelous work, enthralling, illuminating, and beautifully rendered. Robin Oliveira brings Bell Époque Paris and the fascinating artists and writers who walked its streets and filled its salons to the fullness of vivid, fiercely passionate life.' Jennifer Chiaverini, author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker 'Oliveira's breathtaking, cinematic novel transported me to late-nineteenth-century Paris, to lively salons and cafés, and to the refuge of the studio . . . This story reveals what it means to be an artist who is also a woman, and you will feel both the anguish and the triumph down in your bones.' Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott 'In artfully crafted prose as penetrating and radiant as an Impressionist masterpiece, Robin Oliveira's moving portrait of Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas is a poignant reminder that beneath the majestic sweep of history and ideas are men and women with yearnings and trepidations as urgent and palpable as our own. I Always Loved Youevokes, in brilliant detail, the nuances of culture, art, and society in the cafés and salons of late-nineteenth-century Paris while bringing to life the spellbinding whirl of artists, writers, and savants who made La Belle Époque legendary.'

Born in splendor difficult to imagine today, she endured a lifetime of relentless tragedy with courage and exceptional powers of adjustment. The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,256,[789],{"id":790,"slug":791,"name":792},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[794,798,799,800],{"id":795,"name":796,"slug":797,"is_fiction":20},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",{"id":710,"name":711,"slug":712,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":59,"mood":803,"themes":804,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[716,269],[739,647],{"id":806,"slug":807,"title":808,"description":809,"primary_cover_url":810,"cover_blurhash":811,"first_publish_year":463,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":812,"authors":813,"genres":822,"series":827,"enrichment":828},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan).

Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp",[839],{"id":840,"slug":841,"name":842},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[844,845],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},{"id":395,"name":396,"slug":397,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":59,"mood":848,"themes":850,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[62,849],"philosophical",[],{"id":852,"slug":853,"title":854,"description":855,"primary_cover_url":856,"cover_blurhash":857,"first_publish_year":463,"community_rating_avg":486,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":858,"authors":859,"genres":864,"series":868,"enrichment":869},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.
