This week’s list comes from Issue 1 contributor Maria Allocco, who writes that the three titles she’s most excited about this summer, “in order of digestion,” are:<\/p>\n

Shamanism As A Spiritual Practice for Daily Life<\/em><\/a>
\nBy Tom Cowan (Random House)<\/p>\n

In my quest to meet my Guides and power animals, I plan on using this as a guide. As I have been in San Francisco now for almost a decade, I may fully initiate myself by buying a bongo.<\/p>\n

Beneath The Lion\u2019s Gaze<\/em><\/a>
\nBy Maaza Mengiste (Norton)<\/p>\n

Maaza read an excerpt at a VONA reading in Berkeley last week, and I started her book over a badass organic burrito that night.<\/p>\n

A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams<\/a><\/em>
\nBy Beelzebub<\/p>\n

Lucid dreaming was one of my favorite nighttime activities in college. Now I hope to journey again, sans the 25 page paper interruptions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks to Maria for sharing her list with us!<\/p>\n
