Two years ago, filmmaker Molly Schiot began the Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines, posting a photo each day of a female athlete who had changed the face of sports around the globe in the pre-Title IX age. Slowly but surely, the account gained a following, and the result is Game Changers, a beautifully illustrated collection of these trailblazers‘ rarely-before-seen photos and stories. #CopperfieldsRecommends

A must-read for any Carol Burnett fan!

This book is Burnett‘s love letter to a golden era in television through the lens of her brilliant show. Written with all the charm, wit, and humor that fans expect from this masterful entertainer. #CopperfieldsRecommends

The Boss is back! Like many of his songs, Bruce Springsteen‘s much-anticipated autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. Born to Run is revelatory for fans, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star‘s memoir—it's for anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. #CopperfieldsRecommends

Equal parts silliness and profundity, Rosenthal's follow-up to Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life is a wonderful series of vignettes and games loosely organized by grammar school subject. The author's whimsical personality radiates through as she touches on the little things in life—and the big ones.

You will develop a palate. A palate is a spot in your tongue where you remember. Where you assign words to the textures of taste. Eating becomes a discipline, language-obsessed. You will never simply eat food again.
