José Andrés, the Michelin-starred, James Beard-winning chef and author of We Fed an Island and the upcoming Vegetables Unleashed, made headlines in 2017 when he and a group of chefs fed hundreds of thousands of desperate people in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. Now, he is also setting up an emergency kitchen to feed the thousands of people affected by the government shutdown.
Head on over to the DCist to read the full story, which details José's plan to open a kitchen to serve hot dishes and give out to-go meals through his non-profit, World Central Kitchen.

In July 2014, Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian was arrested by Iranian police, accused of spying for America. The charges were absurd. Rezaian’s reporting was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. He had even served as a guide for Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. Initially, Rezaian thought the whole thing was a terrible misunderstanding, but soon realized that it was much more dire as it became an eighteen-month prison stint with impossibly high diplomatic stakes.
In Prisoner, Rezaian writes of his exhausting interrogations and farcical trial. He also reflects on his idyllic childhood in Northern California and his bond with his Iranian father, a rug merchant; how his teacher Christopher Hitchens inspired him to pursue journalism; and his life-changing decision to move to Tehran, where his career took off and he met his wife. Written with wit, humor, and grace, Prisoner brings to life a fascinating, maddening culture in all its complexity.
Jason will be in conversation with New Yorker Editor-in-Chief David Remnick on Tuesday, January 22 at 7:30 PM EST at the main branch of the New York Public Library for the LIVE from the NYPL series. Find out more and buy tickets here.
Can't make it? No worries, you can follow along with the hashtag #LIVEfromtheNYPL on Twitter and Instagram.

Happy New Year, everyone! This past December, librarians took to Twitter to vote for their favorite books of the year using the hashtag #libfaves18. We are thrilled to share the top HarperCollins books selected by librarians for 2018!
To begin, we had three books in the top 10:
I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara: A masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer—the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade—from Michelle McNamara, the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case.
The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn: For readers of Gillian Flynn and Tana French, a twisty, powerful, Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, and Gary Oldman, in theaters October 4th!
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo: Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing, National Book Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth.
Other titles that received hefty doses of librarian love include:
A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole
The Word Is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay
Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy
