This month is loaded with binge-worthy young adult books (adult readers are loving them too)--here's a handful of our favorites.

The investigation that became a catalyst for the #MeToo movement; the chilling story of the man who oversaw the CIA’s secret drug and mind-control experiments of the '50s and ’60s.; and a fanciful debut about love and family (and a trusty dog named Bad)...

Mike Isaac's Super Pumped — a riveting tale of ride-sharing pioneer Uber, packed with highs, lows, and bad behavior — leads our list of the best nonfiction of the month. But there's also something for everyone.

Clandestine experiments, high school hijinks, lessons in life and leadership, and more.

Check out the first chapter of Salman Rushdie's latest--and I think--one of his best.

The riveting story of the rise and fall of Uber; a novel by Salman Rushdie that pays homage to fellow satirist and cultural critic, Miguel de Cervantes; an intriguing tale of espionage involving the use of Doctor Zhivago as a weapon of war; and a delightfully comic novel about two sisters’ infatuation with language. 

The author of Lost in Arcadia on the power, and magic, of stories, and the family folklore that spurred the writing of his latest novel.   

From a life lived in the orbit of a loved (and loathed) burger joint to the submarine adventures of a preeminent cave diver, this month's collection has a little bit of everything. 

The bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl and other tales of Tudor-era intrigue untethers herself from a specific historical muse in a fascinating new family saga...

Histories come in all shapes and sizes, especially this month.

The author of a new psychological thriller with a knock-out ending talked to us about his characters and himself.

A book that challenges the reader to take tangible steps towards creating a more equitable society; a deliciously dark thriller; and an account of the astonishing levels of criminal activity happening on the high seas.

If you're into psychological thrillers, August has got the books for you.

Pirates, bootleggers, bloodsuckers and more in the best nonfiction of the month.
