Given the excitement over the Golden State Warriors, it's no surprise that Golden: The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry is ending up the hands of a lot of our readers. Memoirs by entertainers and comedians continue to be circulate well represented here with books by Tiffany Hadish, Kevin Hart, Gucci Mane, John Hodgman and Eddie Izzard.
The musical Hamilton appears twice -- both the accompanying book with the libretto and a score of the songs arranged for easy piano. Along the lines of easy piano, the piano instruction manual Adult Piano Adventures. This interest in musical self-learning in our community is also evident in the popularity of Music Theory for Dummies and Jake Shimabukuro Teaches Ukulele Lessons.
There are a few older titles on the list. Molly's Game: From Hollywood's Elite to Wall Street's Billionaire Boys Club, My High-stakes Adventure In the World of Underground Poker became a successful movie. Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud has become a classic on the subject.
Happy reading!
