About the book
The Nous implant was supposed to be the future, telepathy, perfect memory recall, augmented reality. Then an AI named Jiem hijacks the entire system, trapping millions inside a game where losing means death.
Mindt seizes the chaos to reinvent herself as a cryokinetic sorceress, aiming to topple the tech monopolies once and for all. Butterknife, the accidental creator of Jiem, swears a paladin’s oath and just wants to pull the plug before the body count climbs.

About the book
Claire Matchett thought a week in the woods would save her marriage. Hiking. Hot tubs. A little peace away from the chaos of work and parenting. Instead, she finds herself sleeping on dirt and leaves, praying her family makes it out alive.
When her minivan breaks down on a deserted road with no cell signal, Claire and her friends decide to hike the rest of the way. But the forest is unforgiving, the paths impossible to follow, and night brings only terror.
One by one, members of the group fall, struck down in ways no one can explain. Maybe it’s an animal. Maybe it’s something worse.
Because the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: someone isn’t leaving these woods alive.

A good pick for readers who want to return to Maguire's darker, revisionist version of Oz and follow the next generation after Elphaba.
Son of a Witch
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Contemporary Fiction
Our take
A New York Times bestseller, Liir is left for dead after the events of Wicked and must confront questions about his connection to Elphaba, his missing half-sister, and his place in a politically unstable Oz, with a 3.5-star average from more than 72,300 Goodreads ratings. A good pick for readers who want to return to Maguire's darker, revisionist version of Oz and follow the next generation after Elphaba.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The New York Times bestselling sequel to Wicked, the multimillion-copybestseller and basis for the #1 smash hit movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
When a Witch dies—not as a crone, withered and incapable, but as a woman in her prime, at the height of her passion and prowess—too much is left unsaid. What might have happened had Elphaba lived? Of her campaigns in defense of the Animals, of her appetite for justice, of her talent for magic itself, what good might have come? If every death is a tragedy, the death of a woman in her prime keenly bereaves the whole world.
Gregory Maguire returns to the world of Wicked and the land of Oz in this epic fantasy novel to follow the story of Liir, the adolescent boy left hiding in the shadows of the castle when Dorothy did in the Witch.
A decade after the Witch has melted away, the young man Liir is discovered bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully. Shattered in spirit as well as in form, he is tended by the mysterious Candle, a foundling in her own right, until failed campaigns of his childhood bear late, unexpected fruit.
Liir's coming of age story is only one part of the world that Elphaba left behind. As a boy hardly in his teens, he is asked to help the needy in ways in which he may be unskilled. Is he Elphaba’s son? His quest for identity will determine if he has power of his own. Can he liberate Princess Nastoya into a dignified death? Can he locate his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in shackles in the Wizard’s protection? Can he survive in an Oz rife with political intrigue and little improved since the death of the Wicked Witch of the West? Can he learn to fly?
In Son of a Witch, Gregory Maguire suggests that the magic we locate in distant, improbable places like Oz is no greater than the magic inherent in any hard life lived fully, son of a witch or no.

The question isn’t just if he can succeed. It’s whether anyone will make it out alive.

Fool Hearts
LGBTQIA+ · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Years of love, longing, and silence sit at the heart of Fool Hearts, where friendship has always meant more than either man could name. When Wyatt returns to Plum Valley and finds himself living beside Easton again, old feelings and new desires begin to shift the ground between them. This is a small-town romance built on pining, tenderness, emotional vulnerability, and a hard-won path to love.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Best friends. Unrequited love. A story that spans decades.
Wyatt
At twelve, he was my best friend. At sixteen, he became my crush. And now, at thirty-four, he’s the man I’m still pining after.
Falling in love with Easton was never part of the plan. But now that I’ve done it, I can’t seem to stop. It doesn’t help that we’re living under the same roof. Or that Easton is so dang sweet I want to lick him from head to toe.
But Easton is straight, and all the cattle in Texas won’t change the fact that he’ll never look at me the way I see him. I want someone who can love me back. And I won’t be able to find that while I’m hung up on my best friend.
It’s time to find a way to say goodbye.
Easton
I always knew I was a little bit different than everybody else. When kids my age were hooking up, all I wanted to do was sit on the ranch with Wyatt and plot out our future. I didn’t need anyone else.
When Wyatt leaves Plum Valley, he takes a piece of me with him. When he returns at the moment I need him most, he helps me to heal and feel whole again. We have a good life now, Wyatt and I, best friends still after all these years.
So when I happen to catch my friend down on his knees in the barn, I don’t understand why, all of a sudden, I’m thinking things I shouldn’t be. Now, I can’t stop wondering and wanting.
But would taking that chance with Wyatt risk the best thing in my life?
Fool Hearts is a small-town, longtime friends to lovers romance with a whole lot of pining, a bi-awakening in a barn, swoon-worthy cowboys, a roller coaster of emotions, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in the Plum Valley Cowboys series but can be read as a standalone.

Step into Richard Dawkins’ sharp and witty world with Brief Candle in the Dark.
Brief Candle in the Dark
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Step into Richard Dawkins’ sharp and witty world with Brief Candle in the Dark. From The Selfish Gene to The God Delusion, he recounts a career of intellectual adventure and cultural firestorms. Praised as “one of the best nonfiction writers alive today,” this memoir shines with humor, insight, and a 4.6 out of 5 stars rating.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Richard Dawkins has never been one to tiptoe around ideas. In Brief Candle in the Dark, he lights up a lifetime of intellectual battles, absurd encounters, and dazzling discoveries.
From the explosive success of The Selfish Gene to the culture-shaking roar of The God Delusion, Dawkins pulls back the curtain on the moments that defined him. He reveals the inspirations behind his most influential books and the controversies that followed.
With a mischievous grin, he skewers academia’s quirks, recounts debates with fellow “New Atheists,” and shares stories of encounters with scientific legends.
But this is more than name-dropping and nostalgia. It is an unflinching exploration of what it means to fight for reason in a world resistant to it. Will the candle keep burning?

About the book
In 1945, Japan buried mountains of stolen treasure in the Philippines, booby-trapped and hidden from the world. Two years later, the U.S. government quietly recovered some of it, stamped it classified, and fed it into the Black Eagle Trust. The world was never told.
Now, decades later, Cotton Malone stumbles into the shadow of that secret. What begins as a favor in Switzerland spirals into a deadly conflict between the CIA and the world’s oldest bank. The trail of deception stretches from Luxembourg’s vaults to Switzerland’s corridors of power and into the deadly heights of Morocco.
At the heart of it all stands a woman from Cotton’s past, and the truth she carries may ignite a global reckoning buried since World War II.
