A rich and revelatory memoir of a young woman confronting her fears and finding home in the North.
Blair Braverman fell in love with the North at an early age: By the time she was nineteen, she had left her home in California, moved to Norway to learn how to drive sled dogs, and worked as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska.
By turns funny and sobering, bold and tender, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube charts Blair’s endeavor to become a “tough girl”—someone who courts danger in an attempt to become fearless. As she ventures into a ruthless arctic landscape, Blair faces down physical exhaustion—being buried alive in an ice cave, and driving a dogsled across the tundra through a whiteout blizzard in order to avoid corrupt police—and grapples with both love and violence as she negotiates the complex demands of being a young woman in a man’s land.
Brilliantly original and bracingly honest, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube captures the triumphs and the perils of the journey to self-discovery and independence in a landscape that is as beautiful as it is unforgiving.

Really cute set, perfect travel size. The texture is a smooth, soft, sort of not leathery, leather feel (not sure how to describe it). Still contains the pictures the original book has (The Hobbit). Only wish they had built in bookmarks. Very classy look.
The Little Prince is a sweet, timeless story about seeing the world with your heart, not just your eyes. This edition comes with a 2-CD audio set, with an abridged narration by Viggo Mortensen, that makes the story even more magical. The narration brings the Little Prince’s adventures to life—from his tiny planet to his thoughtful talks with the fox and the pilot. It’s perfect for listening in the car or cozy reading time. A classic that never gets old! 💛
