    <book_description><![CDATA[A poisonous maiden, a Daoist sex cult, and a violent insurgency.<br /><br />Polyandry—one or more males moving in and sharing the wife’s bed with her husband’s consent in exchange for money or labor—was common among the impoverished in Imperial China, though illegal, and the polyandrous Yan family in rural Shaanxi Province take in two carpenter brothers. When one brother is convicted of murder after killing their neighbor in a dispute, a constable threatens to expose the family’s rumored polyandry and extorts sex from their beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Qiezi. She happens to be addicted to the psychoactive, poisonous datura flower, and the toxins in her system are fatal to the constable. Now on the run as a murder suspect, Qiezi leaves a trail of sexual carnage wherever she goes. But a larger cataclysm awaits her when she gets caught up in the White Lotus Rebellion (1796-1804), which caused the deaths of 200,000 rebels, government troops, and civilians. Picaresque action, dark humor, and irony unfold in this visceral and cinematic novel.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[*Author "I have never used AI in my writing." A.G. Russo<br />*Winner of the Silver Medal for Mystery Series from the 2025 Global Book Awards<br /><br />The <b>homefront</b>, spring 1944, Brooklyn, New York is the neo-noir setting for the final installment of Maeve O'Shaughnessy and Vic Marino's journey since becoming partners in the O'Shaughnessy Investigations detective agency.<br />After being drawn into World War II with the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the United States wholeheartedly united to fight Hitler and Fascism overseas. No one could have foreseen the tragedies and sacrifices everyone would endure. From that date on, Americans dedicated themselves to victory with a shared purpose at home and abroad. Many paid the ultimate price for freedom. Those at home did everything they could to provide support and ensure victory while living lives they never expected.<br />In Book 1 Maeve, a secretary, was forced through circumstance to allow ex-cop Vic to help her save a failing detective agency her three brothers established but left her in charge of when they went to fight in the war. Besides knowing nothing about running such an agency, she was also guardian of her fifteen-year old brother. Vic brought his streetwise knowledge to support Maeve.<br />In Book 2 Maeve, a quick learner, and Vic, having worked the “cases nobody wanted” managed to survive but found themselves in a much darker place. They had to deal with mobsters and as FBI informants this time around. Maeve had to toughen up and learn hard lessons about the underbelly of city life and the criminals who ran it.<br />In Book 3 Maeve’s resolve is strained to the breaking point by demands from all sides. Though Vic supports her and does his best to protect her, she makes a difficult and dangerous decision to go against his advice. On one side, former first love, powerful Irish crime boss Lory, threatens her and those she cares about. On the other side, the FBI demands her help to stop him. The G-Men know she’s holding back information. She knows she can’t divulge all she knows or would face dire consequences. She has to walk a razor’s edge.<br />Americans are told that D-Day in June 1944 is a turning point in the War. This gives hope and solace to millions of Americans that the War will soon be over. But it becomes clear that the War is going to drag on. On the homefront, everyone feels the strain of ration books, limited food and goods, but worse, the coffins that come home. Telegrams and knocks at the door are dreaded by all as family, neighbors, and friends deal with tragic losses for themselves and others.<br />From bombings instigated by Nazi collaborators and sympathizers, to boxing, to murder in the setting of a brand new stage play, Maeve is thwarted. Every day it’s only bad news with no progress. When a new theatre is built in Brooklyn for the play, Maeve finds herself involved in another situation she knows nothing about. This becomes Maeve and Vic’s most challenging year. Her brother Jimmy is now a senior in high school. What if the War isn’t over by the time he graduates?<br />The “side issues” that Maeve and Vic faced in Book 1 and 2 in their earlier years together during the course of the War are addressed. Each book can be read separately, but together show the progression of a journey of two people who have been forced to deal with circumstances beyond their control and survive by their wits in a gritty, dangerous world. For Vic, that means acceptance of his past mistakes. For Maeve that means overcoming paralyzing fear and digging deep to find the strength she needs to protect herself and those she loves.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Kate Mercer was a cop. A detective. A senior investigator for the Arizona Attorney General.<br /><br />Then she got too close to the wrong case.<br /><br />When Kate refused to stop investigating a financial fraud scheme, she didn't just lose her job—she was blacklisted. For a year, no one in Phoenix would hire her. Her career was over.<br /><br />Until The Ashford comes calling.<br /><br />A mixed-income apartment building needs a new superintendent. The pay is good—suspiciously good. Free lodging included. Yet for someone with Kate's background, it's not a good fit. Not even close.<br /><br />But after a year of rejection, Kate can't afford to say no.<br /><br />What she doesn't expect is how familiar it all feels. Tenants who vanish without explanation. Financial discrepancies buried inside bank accounts. Staff who know far more than they should—and say far less.<br /><br />Then Kate sees the patterns. The same ones that got her fired.<br /><br />The Ashford isn't just poorly managed. It's part of the operation she was investigating a year ago. And someone hired her knowing exactly who she is.<br /><br />When she starts asking questions, the response is warnings disguised as concern, silence where cooperation should be, then violence that makes it clear she's crossed the line twice.<br /><br />Kate has a walk away and stay alive, or finish what they tried to bury her for starting.<br /><br />Some buildings have secrets. The Ashford is one.<br /><br />And Kate Mercer just moved in.<br /><br />Book 1 in <i>The Kate Mercer Files.</i><br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Even if he is gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. Even if she does wear great shoes and keeps him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.<br /><br />But Fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon, they're dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme donuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all—true love.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>An ancient code. A deadly killer. A truth buried beneath the sands of time.</b><br /><br />FBI Special Agent Charlie Rebb thought the Surgeon - a notorious serial killer - was a ghost from the past. But when a new series of murders erupts, each marked with strange, arcane symbols, the trail leads Rebb across continents to Egypt... and to a chilling the Surgeon has returned, and this time, his killings follow a pattern—one tied to a purpose more terrifying than anyone imagined.<br /><br />Meanwhile, in Egypt, Alex MacLure has uncovered more encoded messages in ancient tablets. An ancient Egyptian was searching for a forgotten symbol. His name appears in a programme written by a brilliant AI student. The student reaches out with a wild theory - but before MacLure discovers the truth, he’s arrested for a murder he didn’t commit.<br /><br />Thrown together by fate and hunted by forces beyond their understanding, Rebb and MacLure must unlock an ancient secret. They must stop the Surgeon before he unleashes a plan, millennia in the making.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[“I the loveliest meadow in the realm, he picked the realm’s loveliest flower, cast it on the ground, and defiled it.” Seed of the Defiled provides a satisfying reading experience for lovers of fantasy fiction who want to enjoy an out of the ordinary, complex story that captivates and thrills, that is gripping without being excessively dark or crude. Thaxindar, an attentive and caring priest, rescues Kander, a street urchin from the back alleys of Zwexdrof in the realm of Xzwendaria. While Kander grows to be a man with moral fiber, the realms heir apparent, Prince Zandirxin, spirals down into dark depths of depravity. A young woman, Patrexna, finds her life forever changed, while Zwindra, struggles with challenges she never thought she would face. It is said that provocation is the child of fear, and fear the child of one’s hunger to dominate, and the hunger to dominate is the spawn of one’s desire to be God. Xvardris hungers to dominate, to rise above all others, to rule with an iron fist, yet this one who would usurp the throne does indeed have reason to fear. If the realm is to be saved from Xvardris’ machinations time is of the essence. However, Kander and Zwindra must rise above mulish differences in their quest to save the realm. In the midst of their joint venture, they grow in character and courage, while an unseen hand works for good. The consequences of Zandirxin’s, Kander’s, Zwindra’s and others’ choices lead to intrigue, deception, and a dangerous quest, with the realm and the freedom of its people hanging in the balance. Baruch (Xzwendarian name for God) has predicted good, but the realm is afflicted with evil and cruelty. Why a lover of fantasy fiction will want to read Seed of the The pure enjoyment of the read; humor, drama, mystery and intrigue; the remarkable cast of characters; the emotional connection you will make with the characters; the wonderful complexity of the story; the subtle but skilled use of fantasy; exceptional originality and relevancy; and because it mirrors the day in which we live. The story touches on abuse, human trafficking, immorality, perversion, people being lovers of self and lovers of pleasure, and political intrigue. Baruch is faithful, and in spite of all the evil and chaos in the world he keeps His word, his promises concerning the realm. And that which concerns the realm concerns the people of the realm. In Seed of the Defiled ordinary people rise above the evil of the day to fulfill Baruch’s plan—the ordinary emerging as extraordinary, flawed yet heroic. True lovers of fantasy fiction will be delighted with this epic story. How have lovers of fantasy fiction responded to the Seed of the Defiled? Here is one reader’s feedback via “I finished Word of Honor (now Seed of the Defiled) last night and want to tell you how much I enjoyed it! Wow, what an imagination you have! It was one of those books that I couldn't put down. I kept thinking what a great large scale movie production it would make. You are a really good writer! Great job and thank you for the adventure! Sincerely, Keith” Seed of the Defiled is fantasy fiction grounded in a Christian worldview, a story of faith and God’s sovereign hand working in and through free choice.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them?<br /><br />Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth - whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children - to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How To Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This brief, entertaining novel, the 17th featuring Bombay’s Inspector Ghote, finds the dauntless detective summoned to the hill station of Ootacamund (”Ooty”) in South India, where he must locate a ”diabolically ingenious murderer.” A former ambassador, Surinder Mehta, calls upon Ghote to probe the death of Pichu, billiards marker at the genteel Ooty Club, gathering place for well-to-do Indians and English. Pichu had been found sprawled in the middle of the billiard table, stabbed in the heart; the murder weapon is missing, as are many of the club’s silver trophies. Aspiring ”Great Detective” Ghote puzzles over this troublesome case with Mehta, an aging crime novel buff who doggedly defends his theory that Pichu’s slaying occurred because he was blackmailing some frequenter of the club. As Ghote stalks a motley group of suspects, he despairs of solving the homicide until the culprit’s identity comes to him in a most unlikely fashion. Admirers of Keating’s light, diverting mysteries will not be disappointed. – Publisher’s Weekly]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Everyone is capable of revenge. Few have the guts to follow through.Flattered and duped by a rich fiancé, Sherry Haskin’s life played out like a Cinderella, rags-to-riches, girl-meets-handsome-prince fairytale. Until the prince turned into an ogre. Warts and all. With help she escapes his manipulative control and abuse, and lives under an assumed identity for two years. Until Dante changes her life and gives her the strength to reclaim what she lost. Now she returns to face her past. But when she left, she took something with her. What was meant to be a security blanket, may now be her burial shroud. Under criminal indictment on federal charges, her ex is desperate to find her. He wants what she took and plans to get rid of her for good. By any means necessary.Dante Wilkes isn’t a turn-the-other-cheek kind of guy. Not when those he cares for get hurt. When the woman he loves is threatened and the wheels of justice turn too slow, he takes matters into his own hands. Military trained and warrior certified, Dante has no qualms with breaking rules and stepping over boundaries. In his world there are only two types of people. Allies or enemies. You kept your allies close—and eliminated your enemies. Love and fear entwined are a dangerous combination that will take him to the limits and beyond to keep his woman safe. Left with only one option, his mind is made up. And when his time came and his soul went to hell for what he’d done, he’d take great pleasure in looking up the bastard he’d sent there ahead of him.A BMWW romance, Dante’s Revenge is book three in The Men of Thorne Enterprises romantic suspense series. All stories are complete standalone works, but best when read in order.Trigger Portions of this story include references to mental and physical abuse. Though cited to enhance the plot line, there are no graphic scenes or depictions of such instances. Readers sensitive to subject matter should be aware before purchase.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.<p>Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. </p><p><i>My Sister's Keeper</i> examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in <i>My Sister's Keeper,</i> Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>THE CLONED STRANGERS</b><br />Not everyone would envy young Lord Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, even though he had formed his own mercenary fleet <i>before</i> attending the naval academy, and even though his mother was the beautiful Cordelia, the ship captain who has taught the Lords of Barrayar much about the perils of sexism. Even the fact that Miles is third in line to the throne and personally owns a major chunk of his home planet would not tempt any normal person to change places with him.<br /><br />When assassins came to rid the world of his father, his mother, pregnant with Miles, was in the line of fire, and Miles was but an egg for the omelet in an all too literal sense. Thanks to heroic medical intervention, Miles survived his near fatal brush with war gas-as a pain-filled dwarf with bones as weak and brittle as some malign composite of chalk and glass. Miles is often mistaken for a mutant by his mutant loathing countrymen.<br /><br />But there is one who does envy him, who wants to be him: his brother, his cloned stranger formed from tissue stolen from Miles when he was a child. For Mark Vorkosigan was created and raised up for only one purpose: to <i>become</i> Miles, to murder and replace him. In <i>Brothers in Arms</i> that conspiracy was routed and Mark made more or less compliant to his new Miles-less fate. But in the intervening years Mark has learned that without Miles he is . . . nothing. The new and better Mark doesn't really <i>want</i> to kill his brother, but still it may come to that: Mark to stay, Miles to go. . . .]]></book_description>

As Emperor of the Known Universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremens, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne--and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.<br /><br />And even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family's dynasty...<br /><br /><i>Includes an introduction by Brian Herbert</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach.<br /><br />Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the <i>Scopuli</i>, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.<br /><br />Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the <i>Scopuli</i> and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.<br /><br />Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Isaac Asimov's I, Robot launches readers on an adventure into a not-so-distant future where man and machine , struggle to redefinelife, love, and consciousness—and where the stakes are nothing less than survival. Filled with unforgettable characters, mind-bending speculation, and nonstop action, I, Robot is a powerful reading experience from one of the master storytellers of our time. <br /><br />I, ROBOT <br /><br />They mustn't harm a human being, they must obey human orders, and they must protect their own existence...but only so long as that doesn't violate rules one and two. With these Three Laws of Robotics, humanity embarked on perhaps its greatest adventure: the invention of the first positronic man. It was a bold new era of evolution that would open up enormous possibilities—and unforeseen risks. For the scientists who invented the earliest robots weren't content that their creations should ' remain programmed helpers, companions, and semisentient worker-machines. And soon the robots themselves; aware of their own intelligence, power, and humanity, aren't either. <br /><br />As humans and robots struggle to survive together—and sometimes against each other—on earth and in space, the future of both hangs in the balance. Human men and women confront robots gone mad, telepathic robots, robot politicians, and vast robotic intelligences that may already secretly control the world. And both are asking the same questions: What is human? And is humanity obsolete? <br /><br />In l, Robot Isaac Asimov changes forever our perception of robots, and human beings and updates the timeless myth of man's dream to play god. with all its rewards—and terrors.<br />--front flap]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[“Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness. <br /><br />Max Nowaz’s science fiction novel, The Arbitrator, follows the story of 153-year-old Jim Brown, a former highly successful administrator who is now rotting in jail, for tax fraud. However, in reality, he is there for taking revenge and killing several people on the planet Levita after meeting the beautiful Narissa. <br />After ten years in jail, he is suddenly given a reprieve and offered a chance to redeem himself. He is sent as the ‘Arbitrator’ to ‘Pirrus’ in another solar system, to try to stop a rebellion and bring matters under control. <br /><br />This novel tries to portray the darker side of colonisation, where a population is ruthlessly exploited in the guise of bringing them civilisation. Brown, a well-oiled cog in such a system, prides himself on being ruthlessly efficient in his tyrannical task of keeping the population under control. However, he has a change of heart driven by remorse after meeting Gina, a girl he uses as his plaything while under the influence of drugs to satisfy his compulsive addiction, which he is trying to control without success, as it is slowly killing him.<br /><br />He then slowly embarks on a path of self-emancipation in trying to better the lot of the people under his charge. He is not only up against his own government, the EPA, but also against other forces trying to overthrow him. He also discovers a plot by some external powers trying to invade the planet and is hurled into an epic adventure in a game of survival.<br /><br />In prison, he was coerced into a drug habit, which was meant to kill him, but he has somehow survived. His only chance of survival is a very expensive renewal process, which will make him young again and cure his drug habit. Will he complete the mission successfully to earn enough funds for his regeneration? Only time will tell.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[High above the planet Florinia, the Squires of Sark live in unimaginable wealth and comfort. Down in the eternal spring of the planet, however, the native Florinians labor ceaselessly to produce the precious kyrt that brings prosperity to their Sarkite masters. Rebellion is unthinkable and impossible. Not only do the Florinians no longer have a concept of freedom, any disruption of the vital kyrt trade would cause other planets to rise in protest, ultimately destabilizing trade and resulting in a galactic war. So the Trantorian Empire, whose grand plan is to unite all humanity in peace, prosperity, and freedom, has stood aside and allowed the oppression to continue. Living among the workers of Florinia, Rik is a man without a memory or a past. He has been abducted and brainwashed. Barely able to speak or care for himself when he was found, Rik is widely regarded as a simpleton by the worker community where he lives. But as his memories begin to return, Rik finds himself driven by a cryptic message he is determined to deliver: Everyone on Florinia is doomed . . . the Currents of Space are bringing destruction. But if the planet is evacuated, the power of Sark will end--so some would finish the job and would kill the messenger. The fate of the Galaxy hangs in the balance.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[     This book is dedicated to your mastery of the art of realizing all your desires. The greatest gift you have been given is the gift of your imagination. Everything that now exists was once imagined. And everything that will <i>ever </i>exist must first be imagined.<br /><br /><i>     Wishes Fulfilled</i>  is designed to take you on a voyage of discovery, wherein you can begin to tap into the amazing manifesting powers that you possess within you and create a life in which all that you imagine for yourself becomes a present fact.<br /><br /><b>     Dr. Wayne W. Dyer</b> explores, for the first time, the region of your highest self; and definitively shows you how you can truly change your concept of yourself, embark upon a God-realized way of living, and fulfill the spiritual truth that with God all things are possible—and “all things” means that <i>nothing</i> is left out.<br /><br />     By practicing the specific technique for retraining your subconscious mind, you are encouraged to not only place into your imagination what you would like to manifest for yourself, but you are given the specifics for realigning your life so you can live out your highest calling and stay connected to your Source of being. From the lofty perspective of your highest self, you will learn how to train your imagination in a new way.<br /><br />     Your wishes—all of them—can <i>indeed</i> be fulfilled. By using your imagination and practicing the art of <i>assuming</i> the feeling of your wishes being fulfilled, and steadfastly refusing to allow any evidence of the outer world to distract you from your intentions, you will discover that you, by virtue of your spiritual awareness, possess the ability to become the person you were destined to be.<br /><br />     This book will help you See—with a capital <i>S—</i>that you are divine, and that you already possess an inner, invisible higher self that can and will guide you toward a mastery of the art of manifestation. You can attain this mastery through deliberate conscious control of your imagination!                   ]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. <br /><br />For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?<br /><br />Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of <strong>CHANGE ANYTHING</strong> will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. <strong>CHANGE ANYTHING</strong> shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results.<br /><br />The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>#1 NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND BOSTON GLOBE BESTSELLER • One of the most acclaimed books of our time: an unforgettable memoir about a young woman who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University<b><br /><br />Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.</b></b>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was Diego — a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault — who galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses.<br /><br />The news of Burke Harris’s research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEs—adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes our <i>biological</i> systems, and lasts a lifetime.  For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the scientific insight and innovative, acclaimed health interventions in <i>The Deepest Well</i> represent hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we love and for generations to come​.]]></book_description>

  <i>"Just Love Her" is a 2025 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Winner in the Non-Fiction - Religion/Philosophy genre!</i>

He encourages readers to embrace the divine feminine within and to see love as a central guiding principle in their lives. Interwoven with philosophical insights on existence and the spiritual dimensions of love, the book provides profound reflections on spiritual connection, the practice of divine love, and the mystical experiences that shape our lives. Key themes include daily meditations on divine love, the challenges and complexities of love, and love's power to bring about spiritual growth.<br /><br />Perfect for readers interested in spiritual growth, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding of love, "Just Love Her" is a testament to love's transformative power. Mihal's poetic prose and deep reflections make this book a valuable guide for embracing the divine love within your heart.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A New York Times Bestseller!<br /><br />With the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are that you may live up to a decade longer. What’s the prescription for success? National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. And in this dynamic book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life.<br /><br />Buettner’s colossal research effort, funded in part by the National Institute on Aging, has taken him from Costa Rica to Italy to Japan and beyond. In the societies he visits, it’s no coincidence that the way people interact with each other, shed stress, nourish their bodies, and view their world yields more good years of life. You’ll meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed "ladies man" in Costa Rica, an 102-year-old grandmother in Okinawa, a 102-year-old Sardinian who hikes at least six miles a day, and others. By observing their lifestyles, Buettner’s teams have identified critical everyday choices that correspond with the cutting edge of longevity research—and distilled them into a few simple but powerful habits that anyone can embrace.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An irresistible story from Kasie West that explores the timeless question: What do you do when you fall for the person you least expect?<br /><br />When Autumn Collins finds herself accidentally locked in the library for an entire weekend, she doesn't think things could get any worse. But that's before she realizes that Dax Miller is locked in with her.<br /><br />Autumn doesn't know much about Dax except that he's trouble. Between the rumors about the fight he was in (and that brief stint in juvie that followed it) and his reputation as a loner, he's not exactly the ideal person to be stuck with. Still, she just keeps reminding herself that it is only a matter of time before Jeff, her almost-boyfriend, realizes he left her in the library and comes to rescue her.<br /><br />Only he doesn't come. No one does.<br /><br />Instead it becomes clear that Autumn is going to have to spend the next couple of days living off vending-machine food and making conversation with a boy who clearly wants nothing to do with her. Except there is more to Dax than meets the eye.<br /><br />As he and Autumn at first grudgingly, and then not so grudgingly, open up to each other, Autumn is struck by their surprising connection. But can their feelings for each other survive once the weekend is over and Autumn's old life, and old love interest, threaten to pull her from Dax's side?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen.</i><br /><br />Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She’s turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but with each conquest her cruelty only grows. The darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy all she’s gained.<br /><br />When a new danger appears, Adelina’s forced to revisit old wounds, putting not only herself at risk, but every Elite. In order to preserve her empire, Adelina and her Roses must join the Daggers on a perilous quest—though this uneasy alliance may prove to be the real danger.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>My name - my True Name - is Ashallayn’ darkmyr Tallyn. I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court. And I am dead to her. My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl…</i><p>To cold faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. His own love had died a horrible death, killing any gentler feelings the Winter prince might have had. Or so he thought.</p><p>Then Meghan Chase - a half human, half fey slip of a girl - smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight. And when all of Faery nearly fell to the Iron fey, she severed their bond to save his life. Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive.</p><p>With the unwelcome company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a journey he is bound to see through to its end - a quest to find a way to honor his vow to stand by Meghan's side.</p><p>To survive in the Iron Realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. And along the way Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that, sometimes, it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Malcolm Polstead is the kind of boy who notices everything but is not much noticed himself. And so perhaps it was inevitable that he would become a spy...<br /><br />Malcolm's father runs an inn called the Trout, on the banks of the river Thames, and all of Oxford passes through its doors. Malcolm and his dæmon, Asta, routinely overhear news and gossip, and the occasional scandal, but during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm catches wind of something new: intrigue.<br /><br />He finds a secret message inquiring about a dangerous substance called Dust--and the spy it was intended for finds <i>him</i>.<br /><br />When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, Malcolm sees suspicious characters everywhere; Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; an Egyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a dæmon. All are asking about the same thing: a girl--just a baby--named Lyra.<br /><br />Lyra is the kind of person who draws people in like magnets. And Malcolm will brave any danger, and make shocking sacrifices, to bring her safely through the storm.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In the final thrilling installment of Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small series (<i> First Test</i>, <i>Page</i>, and <i>Squire</i>), our sturdy young heroine, Keladry of Mindelan (a.k.a. Kel), has finally been knighted. Never one to rest on her laurels, Kel champs at the bit, ready to tackle the horrific magic killing devices she was shown in the Chamber of the Ordeal during her knighthood initiation. The huge, insectlike machines, "made of iron-coated giants' bones, chains, pulleys, dagger-fingers and -toes, and a long whiplike tail," feed on the souls of dead children and are systematically killing off the citizens and warriors of Tortall. Thoroughly disgusted to discover that not only is she not going to be assigned a combat post, but she has been placed in charge of a refugee camp instead, Kel, in her usual noble, stoic way, swallows her disappointment and sets out being the best refugee camp commander possible. Of course, destiny has a way of sneaking up on a young woman like Kel, and soon she is fulfilling the ordeal the Chamber set out for her... and then some.<br /><br />Tamora Pierce once again draws her legions of fans into her story, blending humor, pathos, exhilarating battles, and gripping drama with a very real, very appealing protagonist. It's easy to make war appear black and white, a matter of good versus evil. Pierce finds the shades of gray. (Ages 12 and older) <i>--Emilie Coulter</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[It began with <i>Eragon</i>... It ends with <i>Inheritance</i>.<br /><br />Not so very long ago, Eragon — Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider — was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.<br /><br />Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if <i>they</i> cannot, no one can. There will be no second chance.<br /><br />The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?<br /><br />This is the spellbinding conclusion to Christopher Paolini's worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.<br /><br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Alternate Cover Edition for ISBN: 9781423108368</i><br /><br />After disappearing for three years, Artemis Fowl has returned to a life different from the one he left. Now he's a big brother, and spends his days teaching his twin siblings the important things in life, such as how to properly summon a waiter at a French restaurant.<br /><br />But when Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a life-threatening illness, his world is turned upside down. The only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur. Unfortunately, the animal is extinct due to a heartless bargain Artemis himself made as a younger boy. <br /><br />Though the odds are stacked against him, Artemis is not willing to give up. With the help of his fairy friends, the young genius travels back in time to save the lemur and bring it back to the present. But to do so, Artemis will have to defeat a maniacal poacher, who has set his sights on new prey: Holly Short. <br /><br />The rules of time travel are far from simple, but to save his mother, Artemis will have to break them all.and outsmart his most cunning adversary yet: Artemis Fowl, age ten.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods… or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.<br /><br />Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.<br /><br />Which could spell death for us all.<br /><br />Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.<br /><br />The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement... if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.<br /><br />As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>This time it's life or death.</i><br /><br />Suze has gotten used to ghosts. She's a mediator, after all, and communicating with the dead is all in a day's work. So she certainly never expected to fall in love with one: Jesse, a nineteenth-century hottie. But when she discovers that she has the power to determine who becomes a ghost in the first place, Suze begins to freak. It means she can alter the course of history... and prevent Jesse's murder, keeping him from ever becoming a ghost - and from ever meeting Suze.<br /><br />Will Jesse choose to live without her, or die to love her?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>In <i>Perfect on Paper</i>: a bisexual girl who gives anonymous love advice to her classmates is hired by the hot guy to help him get his ex back.</b><br /><br /><i>Her advice, spot on. Her love life, way off.</i><br /><br />Darcy Phillips:<br />• Can give you the solution to any of your relationship woes―for a fee.<br />• Uses her power for good. Most of the time.<br />• Really cannot stand Alexander Brougham.<br />• Has maybe not the best judgement when it comes to her best friend, Brooke…who is in love with someone else.<br />• Does not appreciate being blackmailed.<br /><br />However, when Brougham catches her in the act of collecting letters from locker 89―out of which she’s been running her questionably legal, anonymous relationship advice service―that’s exactly what happens. In exchange for keeping her secret, Darcy begrudgingly agrees to become his personal dating coach―at a generous hourly rate, at least. The goal? To help him win his ex-girlfriend back.<br /><br />Darcy has a good reason to keep her identity secret. If word gets out that she’s behind the locker, some things she's not proud of will come to light, and there’s a good chance Brooke will never speak to her again.<br /><br />Okay, so all she has to do is help an entitled, bratty, (annoyingly hot) guy win over a girl who’s already fallen for him once? What could go wrong?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, <i>Treasure Island</i> has never been surpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers. Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil. It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring. Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, <i>Treasure Island</i> is, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, 'the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.' G. S. Fraser terms it 'an utterly original book' and goes on to write: 'There will always be a place for stories like <i>Treasure Island</i> that can keep boys and old men happy.']]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Just One Day. Just One Year. Just One Read.Before you find out how their story ends, remember how it began....When he opens his eyes, Willem doesn’t know where in the world he is—Prague or Dubrovnik or back in Amsterdam. All he knows is that he is once again alone, and that he needs to find a girl named Lulu. They shared one magical day in Paris, and something about that day—that girl—makes Willem wonder if they aren’t fated to be together. He travels all over the world, from Mexico to India, hoping to reconnect with her. But as months go by and Lulu remains elusive, Willem starts to question if the hand of fate is as strong as he’d thought. . . .The romantic, emotional companion to Just One Day , this is a story of the choices we make and the accidents that happen—and the happiness we can find when the two intersect.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Nel 1800, tre sorelle―Marguerite, Aurora e Hazel Swan―furono accusate di stregoneria e annegate nelle acque della baia di Sparrow, Oregon. Da allora, ogni estate, i loro spiriti tornano per impossessarsi dei corpi di giovani ragazze del posto e attirare i ragazzi nel mare, condannandoli a morte. Oggi, Penny Talbot vive su un'isola remota con sua madre, che da anni è rimasta intrappolata nel dolore per la scomparsa del marito. L’arrivo inaspettato del giovane Bo Carter, un forestiero che sembra all’oscuro di tutto, costringerà Penny a fare i conti una volta per tutte con la maledizione che da due secoli miete vittime a Sparrow: è arrivato il momento di fermare le sorelle prima che sia troppo tardi, prima che mettano gli occhi proprio su Bo. Con una scrittura evocativa, poetica e avvincente, Shea Ernshaw firma una favola dark dalle note malinconiche, destinata a seguire le orme del successo americano e diventare, anche in Italia, un piccolo romanzo di culto.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When Wendy Everly first discovers the truth about herself—that she’s a changeling switched at birth—she knows her life will never be the same. Now she’s about to learn that there’s more to the story...<br /><br />She shares a closer connection to her Vittra rivals than she ever imagined—and they’ll stop at nothing to lure her to their side. With the threat of war looming, her only hope of saving the Trylle is to master her magical powers—and marry an equally powerful royal. But that means walking away from Finn, her handsome bodyguard who’s strictly off limits... and Loki, a Vittra prince with whom she shares a growing attraction.<br /><br />Torn between her heart and her people, between love and duty, Wendy must decide her fate. If she makes the wrong choice, she could lose everything, and everybody, she’s ever wanted... in both worlds.<br /><br />As a special gift to readers, this book contains a new, never-before-published bonus story, “One Day, Three Ways,” set in the magical world of the Trylle.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>This is a world divided by blood—red or silver.</b><br /><br />The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.<br /><br />That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.<br /><br />Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.<br /><br />But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In Mary's world there are simple truths.<br />The Sisterhood always knows best.<br />The Guardians will protect and serve.<br />The Unconsecrated will never relent.<br />And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.<br /><br />But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds. <br /><br />They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.<br /><br />Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[There is nothing to be found in the pages of these books but misery and despair. You still have time to choose something else to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on...The Hostile Hospital - There are many pleasant things to read about, but this book contains none of them. Within its pages are such burdensome details as a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery, heartshaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire. Clearly you do not want to read about such things.]]></book_description>

But it’s finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.<br /> <br /><i>Will anyone survive?</i><br /> <br />What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.<br /> <br /><i>The truth will be terrifying.</i><br /> <br />Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all. <br /> <br /><i>The time for lies is over.</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.<br /><br />Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.<br /><br />But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.<br /><br />As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around. But when four cloaked horsemen capture Lugh, Saba's world is shattered, and she embarks on a quest to get him back.<br />Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the outside world, Saba discovers she is a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba's unrelenting search for Lugh stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Frisch verliebt in die Vergangenheit, das ist vielleicht keine gute Idee. Das zumindest findet Gwendolyn, 16 Jahre alt, frisch gebackene Zeitreisende. Schließlich haben sie und Gideon ganz andere Probleme. Zum Beispiel die Welt zu retten. Oder Menuett tanzen zu lernen. (Beides nicht wirklich einfach!)<br /><br />Als Gideon dann auch noch anfängt, sich völlig rätselhaft zu benehmen, wird Gwendolyn klar, dass sie schleunigst ihre Hormone in den Griff bekommen muss. Denn sonst wird das nichts mit der Liebe zwischen allen Zeiten!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>From Stonewall and Lambda Award-winning author Kacen Callender comes a revelatory YA novel about a transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time.</b><br /><br />Felix Love has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after.<br /><br />When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle....<br /><br />But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.<br /><br /><i>Felix Ever After</i> is an honest and layered story about identity, falling in love, and recognizing the love you deserve.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[It's been several generations since a genetic experiment gone wrong caused the Reduction, decimating humanity and giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.<br /><br />Elliot North has always known her place in this world. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family's estate over love. Since then the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress, and Elliot's estate is foundering, forcing her to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth--an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliot wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she let him go.<br /><br />But Elliot soon discovers her old friend carries a secret--one that could change their society . . . or bring it to its knees. And again, she's faced with a choice: cling to what she's been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she's ever loved, even if she's lost him forever.<br /><br />Inspired by Jane Austen's <i>Persuasion</i>, <i>For Darkness Shows the Stars</i> is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Charlie Grant's older sister is getting married this weekend at their family home, and Charlie can't wait for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend, before the house is sold and everything changes. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again. Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting with longstanding crush Jesse Foster all that can wait. She wants to focus on making the weekend perfect.<br /><br />The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster. There's the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won't stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge.<br /><br />There are the relatives who aren't speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. Not to mention the neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on drenching everything. The justice of the peace is missing. The band will only play covers. The guests are all crazy. And the wedding planner's nephew is unexpectedly, distractedly cute.<br /><br />Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she'll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like it was in the past means missing out on the future.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<strong>The stunningly original, must-read fantasy of 2018 follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.</strong><br /><br />When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first.<br /><br />One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable--until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.<br /><br />As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world--and of each other.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Also Known As: Two Pearls of Wisdom, Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye, and Eon (All the same book just published with different publishers)<br /><br /><i>Swordplay, dragon magic--and a hero with a desperate secret</i><br /><br />Twelve-year-old Eon has been in training for years. His intensive study of Dragon Magic, based on East Asian astrology, involves two kinds of skills: sword-work and magical aptitude. He and his master hope that he will be chosen as a Dragoneye--an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. <br /><br />But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a boy for the chance to become a Dragoneye. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.<br /><br />When Eon's secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a deadly struggle for the Imperial throne. Eon must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic...and her life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the century, Betty Smith's <i>A Tree Grows in Brooklyn</i> is a poignant and moving tale filled with compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache, crowded with life and people and incident. <br /><br />The story of young, sensitive, and idealistic Francie Nolan and her bittersweet formative years in the slums of Williamsburg has enchanted and inspired millions of readers for more than sixty years. <br /><br />By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the daily experiences of the unforgettable Nolans are raw with honesty and tenderly threaded with family connectedness -- in a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as incredibly rich moments of universal experience.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Carmen got the jeans at a thrift shop. They didn’t look all that great: they were worn, dirty, and speckled with bleach. On the night before she and her friends part for the summer, Carmen decides to toss them. <br /><br />But Tibby says they’re great. She'd love to have them. Lena and Bridget also think they’re fabulous. Lena decides that they should all try them on. Whoever they fit best will get them. <br /><br />Nobody knows why, but the pants fit everyone perfectly. Even Carmen (who never thinks she looks good in anything) thinks she looks good in the pants. Over a few bags of cheese puffs, they decide to form a sisterhood and take the vow of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants . . . the next morning, they say good-bye. <br /><br />And then the journey of the pants — and the most memorable summer of their lives — begins.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>SOME NIGHTMARES NEVER END.</b><br /><br />For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck.<br /><br />Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open -- but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both.<br /><br />Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability -- and it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what's to come is way darker than she'd feared....<br /><br /><i>From the inside of ISBN 1416953582/9781416953586</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.<br /><br />And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.</b><br /><br />Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.<br /><br />To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.<br /><br />As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?<br /><br />Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.<br /><br />A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?<br /><br />Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Isabelle should be blissfully happy – she’s about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn’t the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince’s heart. She’s the ugly stepsister who’s cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella’s shoe ... which is now filling with blood.<br /><br />When the prince discovers Isabelle’s deception, she is turned away in shame. It’s no more than she deserves: she is a plain girl in a world that values beauty; a feisty girl in a world that wants her to be pliant.<br /><br />Isabelle has tried to fit in. To live up to her mother’s expectations. To be like her stepsister. To be sweet. To be pretty. One by one, she has cut away pieces of herself in order to survive a world that doesn’t appreciate a girl like her. And that has made her mean, jealous, and hollow.<br /><br />Until she gets a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back. <br /><br />But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid. <br /><br />Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.<br /><br />But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Nathaniel is a boy magician-in-training, sold to the government by his birth parents at the age of five and sent to live as an apprentice to a master. Powerful magicians rule Britain, and its empire, and Nathaniel is told his is the "ultimate sacrifice" for a "noble destiny." <br /><br />If leaving his parents and erasing his past life isn't tough enough, Nathaniel's master, Arthur Underwood, is a cold, condescending, and cruel middle-ranking magician in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The boy's only saving grace is the master's wife, Martha Underwood, who shows him genuine affection that he rewards with fierce devotion. Nathaniel gets along tolerably well over the years in the Underwood household until the summer before his eleventh birthday. Everything changes when he is publicly humiliated by the ruthless magician Simon Lovelace and betrayed by his cowardly master who does not defend him.<br /><br />Nathaniel vows revenge. In a Faustian fever, he devours magical texts and hones his magic skills, all the while trying to appear subservient to his master. When he musters the strength to summon the 5,000-year-old djinni Bartimaeus to avenge Lovelace by stealing the powerful Amulet of Samarkand, the boy magician plunges into a situation more dangerous and deadly than anything he could ever imagine.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>One Last Stop</i> and <i>Red, White &amp; Royal Blue</i> comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need...</b><br /><br />Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she’s spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and a puritanical administration at Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that’s kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal’s perfect progeny.<br /><br />But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes.<br /><br />On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she’s not the only one Shara kissed. There’s also Smith, Shara’s longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara’s bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara’s trail of clues and find her. It’ll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair-and-square.<br /><br />Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe—probably not, but maybe—more to Shara, too.<br /><br />Fierce, funny, and frank, Casey McQuiston's<i> I Kissed Shara Wheeler</i> is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Harry Potter wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal; he’s different -- even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.]]></book_description>

L.E. Flynn, author of<i> All Eyes On Her</i></b><br /> <br />All Eden wants is to rewind the clock. To live that day again. She would do everything differently. Not laugh at his jokes or ignore the way he was looking at her that night. And she would definitely lock her bedroom door.<br /> <br />But Eden can’t turn back time. So she buries the truth, along with the girl she used to be. She pretends she doesn’t need friends, doesn’t need love, doesn’t need justice. But as her world unravels, one thing becomes the only person who can save Eden… is Eden.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Svet se raspada baš kao i oni. Kejt Harker se ne plaši čudovišta. Lovi ih i dobra je u tome. Avgust Flin je nekada žudeo da bude čovek. Ima ulogu koju mora da odigra, što će i učiniti bez obzira na posledice.<br /><br />Rat je počeo.<br /><br />Čudovišta pobeđuju.<br /><br />Kejt će morati da se vrati u Istinograd, a Avgust će morati ponovo da je pusti u svoj život. Novo čudovište čeka - ono se hrani velikim nemirom i nagoni žrtve da sprovedu u delo svoja najmračnija osećanja.<br /><br />Koga će biti teže pobediti: čudovišta s kojima se suočavaju napolju ili čudovišta s kojima se suočavaju unutar sebe samih?<br /><br />Ako je roman Smrtonosna pesma predstavljao napeto istraživanje ljudske prirode, ovaj nastavak je svođenje računa. Švabova je utkala pitanja identiteta, moralnosti i prosuđivanja u svoju zadivljujuće vešto napisanu priču. Čitaoci će teško spustiti završnu knjigu serijala ispunjenu akcijom.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>From Kendare Blake, the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Three Dark Crowns</i>, a beautiful and haunting ghost story.</b><br /><br />Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.<br /><br />So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.<br /><br />Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.<br /><br />Yet she spares Cas's life.<br /><br /><b>Kendare Blake's <i>Anna Dressed in Blood</i> is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title.<br />One of NPR's Top 5 Young Adult Novels of 2011.</b>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<strong>A story of scorned witches, sinister curses, and resurrection, <em>The Bone Witch</em> is the start of a dark fantasy trilogy.</strong><br /><br />When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother, Fox, from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community.<br /><br />But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.<br /><br />In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha—one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles… and make a powerful choice.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["Special Circumstances": The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor -- frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary.<br /><br />And now she's been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid.<br /><br />The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more.<br /><br />Still, it's easy to tune that out -- until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[There is need. And then there is Fate...<br /><br />Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome - especially when Alexandria's 'other half' is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom - so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do - and sacrifice - for her.<br /><br />When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies - lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.<br /><br />BONUS: Contains a bonus scene from Seth's point-of-view.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Sierra Santiago was looking forward to a fun summer of making art, hanging out with her friends, and skating around Brooklyn. But then a weird zombie guy crashes the first party of the season. Sierra's near-comatose abuelo begins to say "Lo siento" over and over. And when the graffiti murals in Bed-Stuy start to weep.... Well, something stranger than the usual New York mayhem is going on.<br /><br />Sierra soon discovers a supernatural order called the Shadowshapers, who connect with spirits via paintings, music, and stories. Her grandfather once shared the order's secrets with an anthropologist, Dr. Jonathan Wick, who turned the Caribbean magic to his own foul ends. Now Wick wants to become the ultimate Shadowshaper by killing all the others, one by one. With the help of her friends and the hot graffiti artist Robbie, Sierra must dodge Wick's supernatural creations, harness her own Shadowshaping abilities, and save her family's past, present, and future.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Can Cameron find what he’s looking for?<br /><br />All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Layla just wants to fit in at school and go on a date with Zayne, whom she's crushed on since forever. Trouble is, Zayne treats Layla like a sister--and Layla is a half demon, half gargoyle with abilities no one else possesses. And even though Zayne is a Warden, part of the race of gargoyles tasked with keeping humanity safe, Layla's kiss will kill anything with a soul--including him.<br /><br />Then she meets Roth--a demon who claims to know her secrets. Though Layla knows she should stay away, it's tough when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue. Trusting Roth could ruin her chances with Zayne, but as Layla discovers she's the reason for a violent demon uprising, kissing the enemy suddenly pales in comparison to the looming end of the world.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn’t kept her from leading a quietly happy life...until now.<br /><br />Suddenly Willow’s world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is <i>not</i> a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[All Stevie Bell wanted was to find the key to the Ellingham mystery, but instead she found her classmate dead. And while she solved that murder, the crimes of the past are still waiting in the dark. Just as Stevie feels she’s on the cusp of putting it together, her parents pull her out of Ellingham academy.<br /><br />For her own safety they say. She must move past this obsession with crime. Now that Stevie’s away from the school of topiaries and secret tunnels, and her strange and endearing friends, she begins to feel disconnected from the rest of the world. At least she won’t have to see David anymore. David, who she kissed. David, who lied to her about his identity—son of despised politician Edward King. Then King himself arrives at her house to offer a deal: He will bring Stevie back to Ellingham immediately. In return, she must play nice with David. King is in the midst of a campaign and can’t afford his son stirring up trouble. If Stevie’s at school, David will stay put.<br /><br />The tantalizing riddles behind the Ellingham murders are still waiting to be unraveled, and Stevie knows she’s so close. But the path to the truth has more twists and turns than she can imagine—and moving forward involves hurting someone she cares for. In New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s second novel of the <i>Truly Devious</i> series, nothing is free, and someone will pay for the truth with their life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Her story begins on a train.</i><br /><br />The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, Hitler and Emperor Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor’s Ball in Tokyo.<br /><br />Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year’s only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele twin’s brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael’s every move.<br /><br />But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she bring herself to be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and complete her mission?<br /><br />From the author of <i>The Walled City</i> comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[STEP ASIDE, ANTONY AND PERICLES AND ASPASIA —THE LOVE STORY THAT SHAPED HISTORY<br /><br />Two lovers crest the wave of the golden age of Pericles, statesman and general, and Aspasia, his courtesan, a philosopher's daughter, and a brilliant woman in her own right. In a world of hierarchies, he is at the top when she arrives as little more than flotsam cast up on Athenian shores. Their love transcends social sanctions, enduring and deepening despite the grave threat it presents to Pericles' reputation as a leader of the Athenian democracy.<br /><br />The novel unfolds against the background of the arts and history of the Golden Age, seen through the eyes of two individuals who lent their particular brilliance to make it "golden": Pericles, the great orator and visionary of democracy, and its most influential woman, Aspasia. Their story takes them from the Agora-Athens' marketplace to the Acropolis, from the raunchy Athenian Port Piraeus mercantile across the Aegean Sea to East Greece. Pericles and Aspasia—together and apart—navigate treacherous paths from venal calculations to impassioned philosophical inquiry, from high-stakes sea battles to the passions of family life.<br /><br />Pericles and Aspasia engages issues that are vital today—the paradoxes of democracy, the tensions of hierarchy, the ironies of gender, and others—but this novel is immersed in classical Athens: the city, its sunshine, its physical presence, its people, and their struggles and aspirations.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<em>Call Me by Your Name</em> is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.<br /> <br />The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. <em>Call Me by Your Name</em> is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.]]></book_description>

The Investigating Detective’s preliminary conclusion -- she “must have fallen out of the sky.”<br /><br />Chris, grieving the loss of his fiancé Theresa, meets the enigmatic Arielle on the beach and agrees to meet her at a party. However, when he arrives at the party, he finds no sign of Arielle, but instead meets Marisa, a waitress who bears an uncanny resemblance to Theresa and even possesses her complete memory. Chris is stunned by the coincidence and wonders if everything is part of some greater plan orchestrated by Arielle.<br /><br />As the story unfolds, Marisa's identity is revealed and her destiny to face one of the most notorious cartel leaders in a deadly battle becomes clear. Along the way, Ana and Chris develop a tumultuous love affair, which ultimately leads Chris to fight by Ana's side as she battles the cartel leader. But the story takes a twist when the mysterious Arielle appears at the most critical moment in the fight, adding another layer of mystery to the tale. Will Chris and Marisa triumph over their foes and find happiness together, or will the forces against them prove too strong?

    <book_description><![CDATA[Award-winning author Mark M. Bello presents another headline-inspired Zachary Blake legal thriller.<br /><br />Hayley Larson isn’t a party girl, but she is tired of always doing everything her parents say. She decides to finally attend a Wilkinson party and see what all the hype is about.<br /><br />It isn’t long before fellow classmates are in various states of inebriation throughout the lakefront mansion in West Bloomfield. Hayley contemplates leaving but decides to find a bathroom first. Upon exiting the master bath, the only one she could find available, Hayley is startled to see Oliver Wilkinson standing at the door, blocking her exit. <br /><br />“You scared the hell out of me! How long have you been standing there?” <br /><br />Barely coherent, incredibly drunk, stoned, or high, Wilkinson replies: “Hey, baby. Want to party?”<br /><br />The assault that night has tormented Hayley for twenty years.<br /><br />Now, Oliver Wilkinson is the President’s nominee for a vacant seat on the Supreme Court, the position he has coveted his entire career. Hayley Larson can’t let that happen.<br /><br />“Oliver Wilkinson on the Supreme Court? That is a bridge too far! He’s a criminal and should be in prison! He should never have been granted a law license . . .”<br /><br />But Wilkinson will stop at nothing for a seat on the court . . . NOTHING!<br /><br />Only Hayley stands in his way. With attorney Zachary Blake's help, can Hayley prevent a sexual predator from being elevated to the highest court in the land?<br /><br />"Supreme Betrayal" is a gut-wrenching, powerful legal thriller told from alternating points of view by the award-winning author of "Betrayal of Faith."]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This book covers the things I was forced to leave out of "A Gracious Enemy &amp; After the War Volume One." When the French forces at Dien Bien Phu were being threatened with destruction, during 1953-1954, "Operation Vulture" called for the US to bomb the Viet Minh positions using three nuclear bombs! It was only reluctance of the British to join in this scheme and the opposition from General Ridgeway (US) that ended that madness and operation Vulture was called off! This book also looks at the 'Tiger Cages' and the Third Indochina War during which Vietnam invaded Kampuchea and the Pol Pot administration fled into the Jungle! Also, there is an interview with Hun Sen which may help people understand more of what happened in Cambodia.]]></book_description>
