About the book
Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's quiet, doesn't get out much, and tends to mind her own business—except when it comes to her “disability.” Sookie can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill Compton. He’s tall, dark, handsome—and Sookie can’t hear a word he’s thinking. He’s exactly the type of guy she’s been waiting for all her life...
But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps—along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill—Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.

About the book
Wolfsong is the beginning of the Green Creek Series, the beloved fantasy romance sensation by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, about love, loyalty, betrayal, and family.
“Wolfsong is so well written that I'm in awe of TJ Klune's talent.” —Charlaine Harris
The Bennett family has a secret: They're not just a family, they're a pack. Wolfsong is Ox Matheson's story.
Oxnard Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then his father left.
Ox was sixteen when the energetic Bennett family moved in next door, harboring a secret that would change him forever. The Bennetts are shapeshifters. They can transform into wolves at will. Drawn to their magic, loyalty, and enduring friendships, Ox feels a gulf between this extraordinary new world and the quiet life he’s known, but he finds an ally in Joe, the youngest Bennett boy.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared, tragedy split the pack, and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three years later, the boy is back. Except now he’s a man – charming, handsome, but haunted – and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
The Green Creek Series is for adult readers.

Magic birds, galactic invaders, and a dragon in disguise.

About the book
On the deadly island of Patji, Dusk is a trapper who lives by instinct, magic, and the supernatural birds he calls Aviar. But when invaders from the stars threaten to conquer his world, he must sail into the emberdark in search of salvation—armed only with his birds, a canoe, and his hard-won survival skills.
In the emberdark, a young dragon named Starling is trapped in human form, flying with a starship crew deep in debt and desperation. When she discovers a portal that could change everything, her path collides with Dusk’s in a galaxy-spanning race for freedom.
Sixth of the Dusk expands Sanderson’s original novella into a sweeping Cosmere novel full of myth, magic, and cosmic stakes. Survival isn’t guaranteed. But legends rarely start with safety.
