Emma Straub, bookstore owner and author, has a book gift for everyone.
You can also give the book lover in your life the world, or at least the one created by N.K. Jemisin in the series “The City We Became” and “The World We Make.” According to Straub, Jemisin’s books are"just phenomenal.”
The New York Times bestselling author’s fantasy series transports the reader to a New York City threatened by evils stirring underneath the earth. The books follow five human avatars, meant to represent the city’s five boroughs, who come to the city’s defense by working together to combat their common enemy.
“As a bookseller, I can tell you that some of the most devoted readers in the world are fantasy readers,” Straub told TODAY. “I think it goes back to childhood, when most people read fantasy in one way or another. If you haven't read any fantasy lately, you should start with NK Jemisin duology.”
