Set in the world of the gods first introduced in Divine Rivals, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Ross delivers a sweeping, beautiful adult novel filled with tension, romance, and dark secrets.

True love is more divine than any ruthless god.

Born in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.

Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life—begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him.

As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

THE INFINITE GLADE is the explosive finale of The Maze Cutter trilogy--and the epic conclusion to The Maze Runner saga.

War has finally ignited. The Remnant Nation is done waiting. Their mission: destroy the Godhead and everything she stands for. But as Sadina and the islanders fight to protect the Goddess--who claims to be their only hope for Evolution's survival--the battle reveals unfathomable truths leaving behind devastation that will change the islanders' future forever.

Determined to save their friends, Isaac and Ximena--along with Old Man Frypan and Jackie--struggle to find their way back to the others when two strangers intercept them, throwing everything they thought they knew about the Cure into doubt. Following the strangers into the unknown, Frypan unearths the shocking truth behind the Cure and the secrets so many have died to protect. But what they uncover is only the beginning.

The descendants must decide between risking their lives and the safety of those they love back home to expose the painful truth behind the maze trials, or walk away from history's darkest secrets and let the truth remain buried in the Glade forever.

CG Drews, instant New York Times-bestselling author of Don't Let the Forest In, returns with another deeply unsettling and yet hauntingly beautiful tale of murder and botanical body horror, perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph White, Annihilation, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate ever since he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian, Byron Lennox-Hall, when he was a child. For his safety, Evander has been given three ironclad rules to follow:

He can never leave the estate. He can never go into the gardens. And most importantly, he can never again be left alone with Byron's charming, underachieving grandson, Laurie.

That last rule has been in place ever since Laurie tried to kill Evander seven years ago, and yet somehow Evander is still obsessed with him.

When Byron suddenly dies, Evander inherits Hazelthorn’s immense gothic mansion and acres of sprawling grounds, along with the entirety of the Lennox-Hall family's vast wealth. But Evander's sure his guardian was murdered, and Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer before they come for Evander next. 

Perhaps even more concerning is how the overgrown garden is refusing to stay behind its walls, slipping its vines and spores deeper into the house with each passing day. As the family’s dark secrets unravel alongside the growing horror of their terribly alive, bloodthirsty garden, Evander needs to find out what he’s really inheriting before the garden demands to be fed once more.

Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather.

Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it.

The future is loading…

To escape rising seas and rampant epidemics, most of society lives “upcountry” in glistening virtual reality, while those who can’t afford the subscription are forced to remain in crumbling “downcountry.” 

But upcountry isn’t perfect. A cold war rages between two powerful nations, Medaluo and Atahua—and no one suffers for it more than the Medan orphans in Atahua. Their enrollment at Nile Military Academy is mandatory. Either serve as a soldier, or risk being labelled a spy.

Eirale graduated the academy and joined NileCorp’s private forces downcountry, exactly as she was supposed to. Then Atahua’s most wanted anarchist frames her for assassinating a government official, and she’s given a choice: cooperate with him to search for a dangerous program in Medaluo or go down for treason.

Meanwhile, Lia is finishing her last year upcountry at Nile Military Academy. Paired with her academic nemesis for their final assignment, Lia is determined to beat him for valedictorian and prove her worth. But there may be far more at stake when their task to infiltrate Medaluo and track down an Atahuan traitor goes wrong…

A gripping graphic memoir adaptation of iconic, multi-award-winning author Walter Dean Myers's autobiography, telling the story of his coming-of-age in Harlem, adapted by Guy A. Sims and illustrated by Dawud Anyabwile.

Legendary author Walter Dean Myers was once a troublemaker and a truant.

Just how bad was he From instigating mischievous pranks at home to fighting in the classroom--especially when teased about his speech impediment--irrepressible Walter was more than a handful. Underneath it all, he had a tremendous love for books, and by high school he longed to become a writer. But financial troubles at home made him feel his options were so limited that he dropped out of school. Still, his desire to write was as irrepressible as Walter himself. If he could only be given the chance...

Walter recounts what growing up in Harlem was like in the 1940s and 1950s--when seeing Langston Hughes and Sugar Ray Robinson on the street was the norm and Jackie Robinson ruled the baseball field.

Gripping. Funny. Heartbreaking. Walter Dean Myers's memoir is unforgettable. This is the award-winning story of one of the strongest voices in children's and young adult literature.

Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food – but Owl’s cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found.

Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston's Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond and scientist John Griffin, who are kind and easygoing even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined.

A lyrical picture book about the Poinsettia flower and the holiday traditions it has inspired

First, the flower grew wild--a yellow blossom with bracts that turn brilliant red in winter. The ancient Nahuas cultivated it; then it inspired Mexico's most famous Christmas legend. After the flower caught the eye of Mexico's first US ambassador, it became known as the Poinsettia. Yet it has many more names and traditions--and even more colors!

From Pura Belpre Honoree Alda P. Dobbs and illustrator Emily Mendoza comes a lyrical and vibrant picture book history of the flower that has given the world so much.

Una flor. Dos naciones. Siete siglos. La historia de la Poinsettia.

En un principio, fue silvestre--una flor amarilla con hojas que, en invierno, se tornan de un rojo vivo. Los antiguos nahuas la cultivaron, y después inspiró la leyenda navideña más famosa de México. Cuando la flor captó la atención del primer embajador de Estados Unidos a México, se le llamó Poinsettia. Sin embargo, tiene muchos más nombres, tradiciones... ¡y colores! De la autora Alda P. Dobbs, galardonada con el Premio de Honor Pura Belpré, y la ilustradora Emily Mendoza, llega este libro ilustrado, lírico y vibrante, que nos cuenta la historia de la flor que ha dejado una huella indeleble en el mundo.

Un álbum ilustrado para enseñar a los más pequeños a manifestar su malestar y establecer límites, la base para evitar la semilla del acoso escolar.

A Lucas, el niño nuevo del cole, le encantan los dinosaurios. A Max, el niño más grande del cole, no tanto, y se encarga todos los días de reírse de él para que todos lo sepan. Por suerte, Lucas cuenta con su grupo de amigos que le enseñará a decir "por ahí, no", buscar ayuda en los adultos y poner límites que nos ayuden a sentirnos bien.

Porque si todos aprendemos a decir "eso no me gusta", no podrán con nosotros.

El nuevo libro de Alberto Soler dirigido a las familias que piensan que las frases "es cosa de niños" o "no es para tanto" no sirven.

¿Qué encontrarás en este libro?

*Una historia con la que enseñar a los niños a expresar su malestar, poner límites y aprender a ponerse en el lugar del otro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A picture book designed to help young children learn to express themselves when they don't feel comfortable and set boundaries--the foundation for preventing the seeds of bullying.

Lucas, the new kid at school, loves dinosaurs. Max, the biggest kid at school, doesn't--and he makes sure to laugh at Lucas every day so that everyone knows it. Fortunately, Lucas has a group of friends who teach him how to say "enough is enough," how to seek help from adults, and set boundaries that will help him feel safe.

Because if we all learn to say, "I don't like that," nobody will be able to hurt us.

Alberto Soler's new book is aimed at families who believe that phrases like "kids will be kids" or "it's not a big deal" just don't cut it.

What will you find in this book?

 

• A story that teaches children to express their discomfort, set boundaries, and understand other people's feelings.
• Heartwarming, full-color illustrations by Nerea Vicente.
• A diverse and friendly group of characters, just like those you'll find in any school.

Cuando alguien a quien queremos esta triste... no siempre sabemos qué hacer. Es normal querer ayudar y hacerles saber que pueden contar con nosotros... ¿pero cómo? ¿Y cómo podemos saber lo que necesitan?

Eso mismo le sucede al protagonista del libro. Cuando el cactus de su hermano murió, no sabía qué podía hacer para ayudarlo. Lo que necesitaba él era un chiste, para pensar en otra cosa. Pero eso mismo... no le sirvió cuando murió el perrito de su cuidadora, ni cuando murió el hámster de su clase. Así, el protagonista va aprendiendo que cada persona necesita algo diferente. Y eso está bien.

¿Y qué pasa cuando la otra persona no sabe lo que necesita? Que no pasa nada. Siempre podemos descubrirlo juntos.

Un entrañable álbum ilustrado sobre un tema universal que encantará a grandes y pequeños.

quieres vivir. Enfrentarlo también es el único camino hacia tu libertad y conversión [...] Tal vez sabes qué es tu montaña. Quizás es la adicción, el peso, las relaciones, los trabajos, la motivación o el dinero. Quizá no lo sabes. A lo mejor es una vaga sensación de ansiedad, baja autoestima, miedo o un descontento general que parece impregnar todo lo demás».
Brianna Wiest

Por medio del conocimiento y la aceptación de nuestros hábitos más dañinos, el desarrollo de inteligencia emocional, la liberación de experiencias pasadas a nivel celular y el aprendizaje de actuar como nuestro yo del futuro podemos abrir nuestro propio camino hacia cualquier cima. Al final, la montaña no se moverá, seremos nosotros quienes lograremos conquistarla.

This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
 

Mo Gawdat, autor bestseller y exdirector ejecutivo de Google, denuncia en La inteligencia que asusta los peligros de la evolución descontrolada de la inteligencia artificial y propone un modelo para protegernos a nosotros mismos, a quienes amamos y al planeta.

«La tecnología está llevando a la humanidad a una situación de riesgo sin precedentes. Este libro no es para los ingenieros que escriben el código ni para los políticos que prometen regularla. Este libro es para ti: lo creas o no, eres el único que puede solucionar esta situación.» --Mo Gawdat

La inteligencia artificial tiene ventaja sobre los humanos: puede procesar información a la velocidad de la luz y llevar a cabo tareas específicas sin distraerse, además de predecir resultados futuros o de ver ángulos que se nos escapan. Entonces, ¿cómo es que tiene tantos fallos o responde de formas tan peligrosas?

La respuesta somos nosotros: los usuarios diseñamos los algoritmos que definen cómo funciona el sistema, y la información que la IA procesa imita nuestros comportamientos. La inteligencia que asusta descubriremos cómo corregir la trayectoria a la que nos encaminamos para poder asegurar que la IA del futuro trabaje a nuestro favor.

Gawdat se basa en su amplia experiencia para enseñarnos --y enseñar a las máquinas-- cómo podemos vivir mejor y mostrarnos qué podemos hacer para protegernos a nosotros mismos, a nuestros seres queridos y al propio planeta. Porque el futuro está en nuestras manos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mo Gawdat, bestselling author and former CEO of Google, denounces in The Intelligence That Scares the dangers of the uncontrolled evolution of artificial intelligence and proposes a model to protect ourselves, those we love and the planet.

"Technology is leading humanity to a situation of unprecedented risk. This book is not for the engineers who write the code or for the politicians who promise to regulate it. This book is for you: believe it or not, you are the only one who can solve this situation." --Mo Gawdat

Artificial intelligence has an advantage over humans: it can process information at the speed of light and carry out specific tasks without being distracted, as well as predict future outcomes or see angles that escape us. So how is it that it has so many flaws or responds in such dangerous ways?

The answer is us: users design the algorithms that define how the system works, and the information that AI processes mimics our behaviors. The intelligence that scares us will discover how to correct the trajectory we are heading towards in order to ensure that the AI of the future works in our favor.

Gawdat draws on his extensive experience to teach us--and machines--how we can live better and show us what we can do to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet itself. Because the future is in our hands.

Una nueva romcom de la autora de Las reglas del juego, el fenómeno que conquistó TikTok y las librerías. Los opuestos se atraen en esta novela en la que una cantante y el repostero de un pueblo pequeño se encuentran.

Amelia Rose, más conocida como Rae Rose por sus fans, está cansada de ser la princesa del pop. Así que, inspirada por su peli favorita de Audrey Hepburn, Vacaciones en Roma, conduce durante horas para llegar a Roma... En Kentucky.

Cuando Noah Walker se encuentra a la cantante frente a su casa con el coche averiado, le deja claro que no puede ayudarla, porque bastante tiene con su pastelería. Pero permite que Rae Rose se quede en la habitación de invitados hasta que pueda largarse.

Sin embargo, poco a poco Noah descubre que detrás de Rae Rose está Amelia, una mujer irresistible y auténtica.

Amelia no tarda en dejarse seducir por el encanto de Roma y por su huraño anfitrión... Pero incluso Audrey tuvo que volver a casa al final de la película, ¿no?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of TikTok sensation's The Cheat Sheet.

"This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com."--Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her "princess of pop" image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. 

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn't have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He's too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room--but only until her car is fixed--then she's on her own. 

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose--she's Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can't help but get close to her. Soon she'll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she's been missing, and she'll help him open his heart to more. 

Amelia can't resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey has to leave Rome eventually.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover the latest scientific evidence for the potent and revitalizing value of fun and how to make having fun a habitual and authentic part of your daily life with "this well-researched and impressive guide" (BookPage).

Doesn't it seem that the more we seek happiness, the more elusive it becomes?

There is an easy fix: fun is an action you can take here and now, practically anywhere, anytime. Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet fun's absence from our modern lives is striking. Whether you're a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or someone who is seeking relief from life's overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available.

"A masterful distillation of science and personal experience" (Nir Eyal, author of Hooked), The Fun Habit explains how you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit and why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person. In the vein of Year of Yes, 10% Happier, and Atomic Habits, The Fun Habit features "practical tips, tools, and tactics for bringing fun into our lives starting now" (Dr. Olav Sorenson, UCLA professor of sociology).

Después de ayudar a sus amigos a lograr sus sueños, Bethany finalmente tiene tiempo para concentrarse en ella misma: remodelar una casa, desde la estructura hasta los muebles, ella sola. Excepto que su hermano mayor dirige la empresa y se niega a tomarla en serio. Cuando un productor de televisión se entera de la rivalidad entre los hermanos Castle, lo invitan a Flip Off, una competencia para ver quién puede hacer la mejor renovación. Bethany quiere presumir, pero necesita una tripulación y el único miembro del equipo de construcción de su hermano dispuesto a abandonar el barco es Wes Daniels, el chico nuevo de la ciudad. Su acento texano y su hermoso rostro se metieron bajo la piel de Bethany desde el primer día, pero lo último que necesita es un joven vaquero engreído en su camino. A medida que la carrera por renovar se intensifica, Wes y Bethany se ven obligados a vivir de cerca, intercambiando púas y bromas mientras remodelan la casa más fea de la cuadra. Es un trabajo de amor, odio y todo lo demás, y pronto saltan chispas.

Una historia de placer y euforia, amor y adicciones, locura y creatividad a través del prisma de la molécula que domina el mundo.

¿Por qué nos obsesionamos con las cosas que queremos y nos aburrimos cuando las conseguimos? ¿Por qué la adicción no es una cuestión moral? ¿Por qué el amor pasional se convierte tan rápidamente en desinterés? ¿Por qué casi todas las dietas fracasan? ¿Por qué vivimos pegados a las redes sociales? ¿Por qué algunas personas son liberales acérrimos y otras, conservadores extremos? ¿Cómo logramos mantener la esperanza, incluso en los tiempos más oscuros? La respuesta reside en una simple sustancia química de nuestro cerebro: la dopamina.

La dopamina es la sustancia que permitió que nuestros ancestros pervivieran. Hoy en cambio, es la responsable de nuestro comportamiento, adicciones y del progreso humano. Es la molécula del deseo, la que controla nuestros impulsos y la que nos incita a buscar siempre nuevos estímulos. La dopamina es la causante de que un trabajador ambicioso lo sacrifique todo en pos del éxito, o que pongamos en riesgo nuestra relación más preciada por una noche de sexo con un desconocido. Por un lado nos sirve de motivación para superarnos a nosotros mismos. Por el otro, nos lleva a arriesgarlo todo y fracasar en el intento.

Para la dopamina lo importante es conseguir algo, cualquier cosa, con tal de que sea nueva. Una vez tenemos claro el papel que juega en nuestra vida, podremos entender de una manera revolucionaria por qué nos comportamos como lo hacemos en el amor, los negocios, la política o la religión. Entender la dopamina nos ayudará a predecir nuestro comportamiento. Pero también el de los demás.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of pleasure and euphoria, love and addictions, madness and creativity through the prism of the molecule that dominates the world.

Why do we obsess over the things we want and get bored when we get them? Why is addiction not a moral issue? Why does passionate love so quickly turn into selflessness? Why do almost all diets fail? Why do we live glued to social networks? Why are some people staunch liberals and others extreme conservatives? How do we manage to maintain hope, even in the darkest of times? The answer lies in a simple chemical in our brain: dopamine.

Dopamine is the substance that allowed our ancestors to survive. Today, on the other hand, it is responsible for our behavior, addictions and human progress. It is the molecule of desire, the one that controls our impulses and the one that incites us to always seek new stimuli. Dopamine is the cause of an ambitious worker sacrificing everything in pursuit of success, or that we put our most precious relationship at risk for a night of sex with a stranger. On the one hand, it serves as motivation to improve ourselves. On the other, it leads us to risk everything and fail in the attempt.

For dopamine, the important thing is to get something, anything, as long as it's new. Once we are clear about the role it plays in our lives, we will be able to understand in a revolutionary way why we behave as we do in love, business, politics or religion. Understanding dopamine will help us predict our behavior. But also that of others.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are those who go around watching the days go by through a blurry filter that makes everything look gray. Life can be much more than that.

Perhaps you, same as me, grew up with a bunch of ideas about what you should become to achieve happiness or adjust better in this world. Truth is several of those ideas are nothing more than other people's expectations, what they project on us, and usually, while trying to fulfill them, we end up extremely frustrated because they do not align with who we really are. But you can rest assured, the choices you have made so far are not definitive. This is the right time to ask yourself how you are living your life and choose that which resonates with you--it is the only way to find your own light.

This book will help you:

 

• Take a moment to question how you live and how you would like your life to be.
• Identify which beliefs and habits keep you from getting what you want.
• Redefine your points of view and your path.
• Acknowledge yourself as an individual with something important to contribute to the world.
• Be in tune with your essence and your energy.
• Receive each day with lightness and steer it to fulfill your life's mission.

LIVE IN WONDER, TRUST THE POWER OF YOUR CHOICE.

His cello made him famous. His father made him a target.

“In this perfectly crafted thriller, Slocumb acts as the master conductor, bringing together a twisty plot and gorgeously wrought characters.” —The Boston Globe

Curtis Wilson is a cello prodigy, growing up in the Southeast D.C. projects with a drug dealer for a father. But through determination and talent, and the loving support of his father’s girlfriend, Larissa, Curtis claws his way out of his challenging circumstances and rises to unimagined heights in the classical music world—even soloing with the New York Philharmonic.

And then, suddenly, his life disintegrates. His father, Zippy, turns state’s evidence, implicating his old bosses. Now the family—Curtis included—must enter the witness protection program if they want to survive. This means Curtis must give up the very thing he loves the most: sharing his extraordinary music with the world. When Zippy’s bosses prove too elusive for law enforcement, Curtis, Zippy, and Larissa realize that their only chance of survival is to take on the criminals themselves. They must create new identities and draw on their unique talents, including Curtis’s musical ability, to go after the people who want them dead. But will it be enough to save Curtis and his family?

A propulsive and moving story about sacrifice, loyalty, and the indomitable human spirit, The Dark Maestro is Brendan Slocumb at the height of his powers.

“[Simone] Gorrindo’s prose is inviting and fluid, and her storytelling is intimate and vivid...[an] engaging, evocative memoir.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A hopeful, unifying memoir.” —People

This profoundly intimate memoir about marriage, friendship, and the power of human connection tells the story of one woman’s experience of joining a community of army wives after leaving her New York City job.

When her new husband joins an elite Army unit, Simone Gorrindo is uprooted from New York City and dropped into Columbus, Georgia. With her husband frequently deployed, Simone is left to find her place in this new world, alone—until she meets the wives.

Gorrindo gives us an intimate look into the inner lives of a remarkable group of women and a tender, unflinching portrait of a marriage. A love story, an unforgettable coming-of-age tale, and a bracing tour of the intractable divisions that plague our country today, The Wives offers a rare and powerful gift: a hopeful stitch in the fabric of a torn America.

Death stalks the Blue Ridge Mountains as a centuries-old mystery resurfaces and murder mars the lead-up to an annual beagle competition, in a thrilling new tale from Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown.

"As feline collaborators go, you couldn't ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown."--The New York Times Book Review

A massive nor'easter has hit northern Virginia, where Mary Minor "Harry" Harristeen joins groundskeeping efforts at the National Beagle Club at Aldie as the date for its springtime Hounds for Heroes veterans' benefit approaches. Harry's fellow volunteers, including her oldest friend, Susan Tucker, comprise a spirited group of hunting enthusiasts, some former service members themselves. But things take a sinister turn when, after a routine tree cleanup along the Club's hunting trails, retired foreign services officer Jason Holzknect is found dead, throat slit from ear to ear. Soon enough, another murder in their midst jolts the preparations, convincing Harry that the killer is familiar with the Club--and must be close by, masked in plain sight.

The intrigue extends to the grounds of Harry's beloved local church, where the identity of an eighteenth-century skeleton wearing precious pearls remains a mystery. The anonymous woman's neck had been snapped, and marks on the grave where her body was secreted indicate that someone recently tried to remove it, leading Harry to question how well she really knows those around her.

As always, Harry's crime-solving cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker the Corgi share her determination to sniff out the foes among friends, even those long buried. Harry will need her four-legged companions' help more than ever: a ghostly beagle only they can see may hold the key to the culprit.

A lonely shopkeeper takes it upon herself to solve a murder in the most peculiar way in this captivating mystery by Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties.

Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. 

Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn’t know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could, because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands. Vera knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer. 

What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them. As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks to the police?

Instant New York Times Bestseller

#1 New York Times bestselling author Bret Baier reveals how George Washington saved the Constitution-and the American experiment

"To Rescue The Constitution is a masterful exploration of the electrifying struggle to unite a young United States." --Jay Winik

A sweeping narrative ranging from the unsettled early American frontier and the battlefields of the Revolution to the history-making clashes within Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Bret Baier's To Rescue the Constitution dramatically illuminates the life of George Washington, the Founder who did more than perhaps any other individual to secure the future of the United States.

George Washington rescued the nation three times: first by leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, second by presiding over the Constitutional Convention that set the blueprint for the United States and ushering the Constitution through a fractious ratification process, and third by leading the nation as its first president. There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued--and that Washington was the only American who could bring them together.

After the victorious War of Independence, when a spirit of unity and patriotism might have been expected, instead the nation fractured. The states were no more than a loosely knit and contentious confederation, with no strong central union. It was an urgent matter that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787.

Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delegate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sacrificed any hope of returning to private life by accepting the unanimous election to be the nation's first president. Washington was not known for brilliant oratory or prose, but his quiet, steady leadership gave life to the Constitution by showing how it should be enacted.

In this vivid and moving portrait of America's early struggles, Baier captures the critical moments when Washington's leadership brought the nation from the brink of collapse. Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more divided than is often portrayed--one we can see reflected in today's conflicts.

"The impossible life of Tiger Woods -- how did he become the G.O.A.T., what drove him to fall so spectacularly, and how has he made his way back to the pinnacle of golf? In Patterson's hands, Tiger's story is a hole-in-one thriller. On April 13, 1986, ten-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters. Just over a decade later, it's chants of 'Ti-ger, Ti-ger!' ringing out as the twenty-one-year-old wins his first Green Jacket. He blazes an incredible path, winning fourteen major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he's thirty-three, smashing records and raising standards. His phenomenal success earns him adoration and respect not only from fellow players but from people everywhere. Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries. The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. 'YouTube golfer' is how his two children knew their father -- winless since 2013 -- until he wins the 2019 Masters, his fifteenth major, before their eyes. But the story doesn't end there. As the world watches, and even prays, Tiger Woods survives further injuries and rehabilitations.Even after his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame, the multi-hyphenate billionaire continues to notch new achievements. Golf course designer. Restaurateur. Real-estate stakeholder. Player-host of tournaments benefiting his TGR Foundation. After nearly three decades on the PGA Tour, his lasting influence continues to inspire every rising generation."--

Spring has sprung in Crozet, Virginia--a time for old friends to gather and bid farewell to the doldrums of winter. Harry and her husband, Fair, are enjoying a cozy dinner with some of the town's leading citizens, including beloved University of Virginia history professor Greg "Ginger" McConnell and several members of UVA's celebrated 1959 football team. But beneath the cloak of conviviality lurks a sinister specter from the distant past that threatens to put all their lives in jeopardy.

When Professor McConnell is found murdered on the golf course the next day--gunned down in broad daylight by an unseen killer--no one can fathom a motive, let alone find a suspect. Just as Harry and her furry cohorts begin nosing into the case, however, a homeless UVA alum confesses to the crime. Trouble is, no one believes that the besotted former All-American could have done the foul deed--especially after Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker make another gruesome discovery.

As the questions surrounding Ginger's death pile up, Harry's search for answers takes her down the fascinating byways of Virginia's Revolutionary past. The professor was something of a sleuth himself, it seems, and the centuries-old mystery he was unraveling may well have put a target on his back. As Harry edges closer to identifying an elusive killer, her animal companions sense danger--and rally to find a way to keep Harry from disappearing into history.

"A compelling origin story of a time that really wasn’t so long ago but through the lens of tragedy feels like forever. Kobe-ologists will devour this book, reveling in the anecdotes about his intensity & the engaging game recaps." —Associated Press

“Every superhero needs an origin story.” –Jeff Pearlman

The inside look at one of the most captivating and consequential figures in our culture—with never-before-heard interviews.

Kobe Bryant’s death in January 2020 did more than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. The tragedy of that helicopter crash, which also took the life of his daughter Gianna, unveiled the full breadth and depth of his influence on our culture, and by tracing and telling the oft-forgotten and lesser-known story of his early life, The Rise promises to provide an insight into Kobe that no other analysis has.

In The Rise, readers will travel from the neighborhood streets of Southwest Philadelphia—where Kobe’s father, Joe, became a local basketball standout—to the Bryant family’s isolation in Italy, where Kobe spent his formative years, to the leafy suburbs of Lower Merion, where Kobe’s legend was born. The story will trace his career and life at Lower Merion—he led the Aces to the 1995-96 Pennsylvania state championship, a dramatic underdog run for a team with just one star player—and the run-up to the 1996 NBA draft, where Kobe’s dream of playing pro basketball culminated in his acquisition by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In researching and writing The Rise, Mike Sielski had a terrific advantage over other writers who have attempted to chronicle Kobe’s life: access to a series of never-before-released interviews with him during his senior season and early days in the NBA. For a quarter century, these tapes and transcripts preserved Kobe’s thoughts, dreams, and goals from his teenage years, and they contained insights into and told stories about him that have never been revealed before.

This is more than a basketball book. This is an exploration of the identity and making of an icon and the effect of his development on those around him—the essence of the man before he truly became a man.

From New York Times bestselling biographer Bob Spitz, a full and rich biography of an epic American life, capturing what made Ronald Reagan both so beloved and so transformational.

More than five years in the making, based on hundreds of interviews and access to previously unavailable documents, and infused with irresistible storytelling charm, Bob Spitz's REAGAN stands fair to be the first truly post-partisan biography of our 40th President, and thus a balm for our own bitterly divided times.

It is the quintessential American triumph, brought to life with cinematic vividness: a young man is born into poverty and raised in a series of flyspeck towns in the Midwest by a pious mother and a reckless, alcoholic, largely absent father. Severely near-sighted, the boy lives in his own world, a world of the popular books of the day, and finds his first brush with popularity, even fame, as a young lifeguard. Thanks to his first great love, he imagines a way out, and makes the extraordinary leap to go to college, a modest school by national standards, but an audacious presumption in the context of his family's station. From there, the path is only very dimly lit, but it leads him, thanks to his great charm and greater luck, to a solid career as a radio sportscaster, and then, astonishingly, fatefully, to Hollywood. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Bob Spitz's REAGAN is an absorbing, richly detailed, even revelatory chronicle of the full arc of Ronald Reagan's epic life - giving full weight to the Hollywood years, his transition to politics and rocky but ultimately successful run as California governor, and ultimately, of course, his iconic presidency, filled with storm and stress but climaxing with his peace talks with the Soviet Union that would serve as his greatest legacy. It is filled with fresh assessments and shrewd judgments, and doesn't flinch from a full reckoning with the man's strengths and limitations. This is no hagiography: Reagan was never a brilliant student, of anything, and his disinterest in hard-nosed political scheming, while admirable, meant that this side of things was left to the other people in his orbit, not least his wife Nancy; sometimes this delegation could lead to chaos, and worse. But what emerges as a powerful signal through all the noise is an honest inherent sweetness, a gentleness of nature and willingness to see the good in people and in this country, that proved to be a tonic for America in his time, and still is in ours. It was famously said that FDR had a first-rate disposition and a second-rate intellect. Perhaps it is no accident that only FDR had as high a public approval rating leaving office as Reagan did, or that in the years since Reagan has been closing in on FDR on rankings of Presidential greatness. Written with love and irony, which in a great biography is arguably the same thing, Bob Spitz's masterpiece will give no comfort to partisans at either extreme; for the rest of us, it is cause for celebration.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.

"We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his..."

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.

Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent... not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets... secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court... all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight--for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny... as Queen.
