Wendy Williams: The Movie: Wendy Williams made herself a household name with her larger-than-life personality and her ring-mastering of celebrity drama, even engineering delicious celebrity beefs in her quest to get to the bottom of a great scoop. Recently, the spotlight has turned toward her, and this authorized movie gives Wendy a chance to go back and tell her own story.

Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come by Jessica Pan- What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she'd normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life. Chronicling the author's hilarious and painful year of misadventures, this book explores what happens when one introvert fights her natural tendencies, takes the plunge, and tries (and sometimes fails) to be a little bit braver.

Flowers on the Moon by Billy Chapata- Social media sensation Billy Chapata shares insight and advice into the powerful world of love, heartbreak, and what comes next. This collection of poetry and prose will justify heartache and inspire the fortitude to survive and prosper.
