About the book
Emily Mitchell’s life used to be full of luck—at least when her mom was alive. Three years after her mother’s death, Emily feels untethered: her boyfriend is gone, her best friend is away, and her dad is selling the only home she’s ever known. The only thing left is a lucky quarter and a hole where her heart used to be.
Then she finds it—her mom’s senior-year summer bucket list. With Blake, the bold, magnetic new girl in town, Emily begins tackling the list one challenge at a time. Each adventure brings her closer to the memory of her mom, and closer to Blake in ways she never expected.
But as the summer winds down, Emily must face her hardest truth: is she ready to risk her heart again?

About the book
Lorelei Kaskel never expected her quest for glory to begin with murder. A sharp-tongued folklorist desperate to prove herself, she joins an expedition to find a mythical spring said to grant unimaginable power. But when her beloved mentor is killed aboard their ship, suspicion taints everyone aboard, except Sylvia von Wolff, Lorelei’s infuriatingly gallant rival.
Thrust into leadership, Lorelei must balance unraveling the mystery with racing to the spring before Brunnestaad collapses into civil war. Yet the path ahead brims with dangers: forests that shift at night, rivers hiding dragons, and beasts that stalk in silence.
And as reluctant allies transform into something far more dangerous—something tender—Lorelei faces an impossible choice: pursue justice, seize her dreams, or risk losing everything she loves.

Chloe Archer’s It’s Not Unusual to Be Loved by an Alien (4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon) is a hilarious, steamy M/M sci-fi romcom.

About the book
River Sullivan is a proud sci-fi nerd who always believed aliens were out there. He just never expected to find one in Las Vegas—and definitely not the hot, grumpy kind with tentacles. Now he’s stumbled onto the biggest secret in the galaxy and set his sights on winning over his reluctant alien crush.
Kai Genaro wants nothing to do with humans, especially chatty ones with bright green eyes and infuriating charm. But thanks to a cosmic accident involving his tentacles, he may have just initiated the Mating Courtship Ritual with River.
Between zany extraterrestrial shenanigans, secret alien politics, and undeniable chemistry, resisting each other is futile. In It’s Not Unusual to Be Loved by an Alien, the only thing more dangerous than exposure… is falling in love.

About the book
I wake up bloody, bruised, and with no memory of who I am. The flicker of emergency lights tells me one thing—I am in serious trouble.
Before I can get my bearings, something moves in the shadows. The monster that emerges is huge, terrifying, and very much not human. He decides I am his responsibility, whether I like it or not.
Trapped together in an alien jungle with no common language, we survive through gestures, crude drawings, and an unexpected connection that burns hotter with every passing day. He wants to get me home. I just hope I can figure out where that is.
I may never recover my past, but with him, I might discover a future worth remembering.

About the book
A vampire escapes the thrall of Dracula and embarks on her own search for self-discovery and true love in this epic and seductive gothic fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide.
“Fiercely empowering and gloriously vengeful.”—Heather Walter, award-winning author of Malice
A CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Her name was written in the pages of someone else’s story: Lucy Westenra was one of Dracula’s first victims.
But her death was only the beginning. Lucy rose from the grave a vampire and has spent her immortal life trying to escape from Dracula’s clutches—and trying to discover who she really is and what she truly wants.
Her undead life takes an unexpected turn in twenty-first-century London, when she meets another woman, Iris, who is also yearning to break free from her past. Iris’s family has built a health empire based on a sinister secret, and they’ll do anything to stay in power.
Lucy has long believed she would never love again. Yet she finds herself compelled by the charming Iris while Iris is equally mesmerized by the confident and glamorous Lucy. But their intense connection and blossoming love is threatened by outside forces. Iris’s mother won’t let go of her without a fight, and Lucy’s past still has fangs: Dracula is on the prowl once more.
Lucy Westenra has been a tragically murdered teen, a lonesome adventurer, and a fearsome hunter, but happiness has always eluded her. Can she find the strength to destroy Dracula once and for all, or will her heart once again be her undoing?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell, Carry On blends ghost story, love story, and magical mystery with 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
Carry On
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell, Carry On blends ghost story, love story, and magical mystery with 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Chosen One Simon Snow can’t control his magic, his mentor’s avoiding him, and his vampire roommate-slash-nemesis might just be the most dangerous distraction of all.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One ever—just ask his vampire roommate and sworn nemesis, Baz. Not that Baz is around to say it; he hasn’t even bothered showing up for their final year at Watford School of Magicks.
Simon can’t get his wand to cooperate, accidentally sets things on fire, and his mentor’s ghosting him. Oh, and there’s a magic-eating monster on the loose… wearing Simon’s face.
Between the mysterious creature, a broken heart, and a missing nemesis, Simon’s last year is shaping up to be a disaster. But when Baz finally turns up, secrets unravel, alliances shift, and Simon’s biggest problem might not be the monster, it might be how he feels about Baz.
Because sometimes the real magic is the trouble you didn’t see coming.

A grumpy cowboy, a sunshine-bright newcomer, and a Montana ranch that starts feeling a little too much like home.
Sweet Like Whiskey
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
A grumpy cowboy, a sunshine-bright newcomer, and a Montana ranch that starts feeling a little too much like home. Sweet Like Whiskey leans into the charm of small-town romance with riding lessons, close-knit family chaos, and a slow-building connection between a man who’s settled into solitude and the outsider determined to get past his defenses. It’s warm, flirty, and packed with the kind of heart that makes a grump/sunshine romance so hard to resist.

About the book
The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go.
Jackson
If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.
I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.
The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.
No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…
Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.
Sweet Like Whiskey is a grumpy/sunshine, small town romance between a stubborn cowboy and the optimistic out-of-towner who’s determined to win him over. There’s ranch life, close-knit family dynamics, gorgeous mountain views, moonlit shenanigans in a hayloft, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.

The Fixed Stars
Biographies & Memoirs · LGBTQIA+
Our take
From bestselling author Molly Wizenberg comes a raw, intimate memoir of identity, sexuality, and reinvention. The Fixed Stars explores what happens when everything you thought you were shifts—and how to rebuild after. Hailed as “spirited” and “terrifyingly courageous,” this 4.3-star memoir is essential reading for anyone who’s ever questioned where they belong and who they might become.
Choose your retailer
About the book
At thirty-six, Molly Wizenberg believed she knew who she was. A bestselling author, a wife, a mother. Then, during jury duty, she felt an unexpected pull toward a female attorney—and everything shifted.
What followed was a journey of reckoning and reinvention. Molly stepped away from the life she had built and into uncharted emotional territory. She navigated coming out, divorce, co-parenting, and the fluid complexities of love and identity.
The Fixed Stars is a fearless memoir about the parts of ourselves we think are permanent until they aren’t. With vulnerability, clarity, and wit, Wizenberg examines what it means to change, what it costs, and what it gives back.
Because sometimes, the truest version of yourself is the one you never expected to find.
