About the book
Heather Harpham thought she knew how her story would unfold. A whirlwind romance, an unexpected pregnancy, and a quiet life raising a daughter she already adored. But mere hours after giving birth, everything changed.
Alone in California while the father of her child remained in New York, Heather faced a terrifying diagnosis that would reshape their lives. In the shadow of hospital rooms and hard choices, love reemerged in unexpected ways.
Happiness is a memoir of joy found in the messiest places: a newborn’s laugh, the generosity of strangers, and the fragile hope of second chances. With humor and grace, Harpham traces the winding, imperfect path to family, love, and something like happiness, crooked and fleeting, but fiercely real.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! • NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+
A “mind-blowing” (Entertainment Weekly) speculative thriller about an ordinary man who awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew—from the author of Upgrade, Recursion, and the Wayward Pines trilogy
“Are you happy with your life?”

Before a man he’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.”
In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.
Is it this life or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how will Jason make it back to the family he loves?
From the bestselling author Blake Crouch, Dark Matter is a mind-bending thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we’ll go to claim the lives we dream of.

About the book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Prepare to be entranced by this addictively readable oral history of the great war between humans and zombies.”—Entertainment Weekly
We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are still haunted by that terrible time? We have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z is the only record of the pandemic.
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

Our take

Jeremy Knox and Jean Moreau fight for their team, their future, and the fragile trust between them. Tension, grit, and found family collide in this powerful return to Sakavic’s Exy universe.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Jeremy Knox just wants to play Exy. But his final season is unraveling fast. Teammates, rivals, and the media are circling, and the fragile haven he’s built is under attack.
Jean Moreau promised his team a championship, but they aren’t making it easy. Their stubborn optimism, their affection he never asked for, it’s almost enough to make him believe he deserves a second chance. Almost.
On the court, victory is within reach. Off the court, old scars run deep and trust feels like a risk neither Jeremy nor Jean can afford.
In The Golden Raven, Nora Sakavic returns to the fierce, fast world of Exy with a story of broken boys, found family, and the battle to rise when the world is waiting for you to fall.
