TAYLOR SWIFT GN
(W) Brian Freschi (A) Laura Angelucci
Tracing the stages of Taylor Swift's musical career, from her close-knit family and the early songwriting of her teen years to the magnificent showmanship and maturity of the 2023-24 Eras Tour, the book sees the phenomenal talent evolve from the myth of the "good girl" to a politically and socially astute commentator on life and love. Not only a mouthpiece for generations of girls and women, she is a consummate storyteller. And just as Taylor hides "easter eggs" in her lyrics and performances, this graphic novel contains some easter eggs of its own, hidden here and there to foreshadow what's coming up next.

MARRY ME A LITTLE GN (MR) (O/A)
(W/A) Robert Kirby
Marriage doesn't define a relationship. Unless you want it to. In Marry Me a Little, Rob Kirby recounts his experience of marrying his longtime partner, John, just after gay marriage was legalized in Minnesota in 2013, and two years before the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges made gay marriage the law of the land. This is a personal story—about Rob's ambivalence (if not antipathy) toward the institution of marriage, his loving relationship with John, and the life that they share together—set against the historical and political backdrop of shifting attitudes toward gay rights and the institution of marriage. With humor and candor, Rob relates how he and John navigated this changing landscape, how they planned and celebrated their wedding, and how they and others in the gay community are now facing the very real possibility of setbacks to marriage equality.
