Wicked
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Contemporary Fiction
Our take
With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked reimagines Oz through the eyes of Elphaba, the misunderstood girl who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. The novel that inspired the blockbuster musical delivers dark whimsy, sharp social commentary, and a story where heroes and villains are rarely what they seem.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Long before a house fell from the sky, a girl with green skin was fighting to survive.
Elphaba isn’t the Wicked Witch of the West. Not yet. She’s a fierce, awkward girl born into a harsh Oz where corruption runs deeper than magic and creatures with voices are silenced. At Shiz University, Elphaba finds a rare circle of friends, and enemies, that shape her into the woman history will condemn.
As the Wizard’s secret police tighten their grip, Elphaba takes a stand for the Animals, risking her safety and her one chance at love. But rebellion in Oz carries a cost.
In this brilliant reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s classic, Gregory Maguire weaves politics, prejudice, and power into a tale that questions what makes someone truly wicked.

The Dark Between the Stars

Choose your retailer
About the book
Return to the Seven Suns universe a terrifying celestial discovery threatens the future for humanity and the Ildirans in this space opera trilogy opener.
"Anderson hits it out of the galaxy again: space opera doesn't get much more exciting, or much more richly populated with alien races, technologies, and cultures, than it does in this sprawling, engrossing epic." —Booklist (starred review)
Hugo Award Nominee
Two decades after the end of the horrific Hydrogue War, a group of independent clans, the Roamers, operate giant floating skymines in the clouds of gas-giant planets, where they harvest stardrive fuel at great risk, and great profit.
On the planet Theroc, capital of the vast Confederation, humans live inside a gigantic worldforest whose towering trees are all interconnected in a single mind, which telepathic "green priests" can use for interstellar communication.
The stagnant alien Ildiran Empire once ruled the entire Spiral Arm, but they are unprepared for human politics and ambitions.
Upon this galactic canvas, a large expeditionary ship goes off to explore farther than any human or Ildiran has ever ventured. Beyond the edge of the Spiral Arm, they encounter a mysterious and ominous dark nebula, a huge black cloud so opaque that even starlight cannot penetrate it. The explorers are horrified when the dark nebula begins to expand exponentially.
The races of the Spiral Arm will be faced with an evil so ancient that knowledge of its very existence has been obliterated, but it will threaten all life, all planets, and even the fabric of the universe itself.
"A space opera to rival the best the field has ever seen." —Science Fiction Chronicle

About the book
Springtime in Styria. And that means war.
There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white. While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, and behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king.
War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular -- a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.
Her allies include Styria's least reliable drunkard, Styria's most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a Northman who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And that's all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started. . .

About the book
Witch meets tech prodigy. Magic meets machine. The world might not survive either.
Patricia can talk to birds. Laurence builds wormholes in his bedroom. As childhood misfits turned powerful adults, they now stand on opposite sides of a war that will shape the future: magic versus science, instinct versus innovation.
But even as San Francisco fractures under the weight of global collapse, their bond won’t die. Their love is inconvenient, impossible—and maybe the world’s only hope.
Nebula Award–winning and Hugo-finalist, All the Birds in the Sky is Charlie Jane Anders’ genre-defying triumph: a dazzling, funny, and deeply human story about friendship, destiny, and what comes after the end of the world.
Enchanting and irreverent, this is speculative fiction for anyone who’s ever felt too weird to belong and too brilliant to be ignored.

About the book
The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly).
The men on board the HMS Terror — part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage — are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in.

Amy Bloom began to notice changes in her husband, Brian: He retired early from a new job he loved; he withdrew from close friendships; he talked mostly about the past. Suddenly, it seemed there was a glass wall between them, and their long walks and talks stopped. Their world was altered forever when an MRI confirmed what they could no longer ignore: Brian had Alzheimer’s disease.
Forced to confront the truth of the diagnosis and its impact on the future he had envisioned, Brian was determined to die on his feet, not live on his knees. Supporting each other in their last journey together, Brian and Amy made the unimaginably difficult and painful decision to go to Dignitas, an organization based in Switzerland that empowers a person to end their own life with dignity and peace.
In this heartbreaking and surprising memoir, Bloom sheds light on a part of life we so often shy away from discussing—its ending. Written in Bloom’s captivating, insightful voice and with her trademark wit and candor, In Love is an unforgettable portrait of a beautiful marriage, and a boundary-defying love.

In Too Deep
Thriller
Our take
Jack Reacher wakes up chained to a bed with no memory, a shattered arm, and enemies ready to break him. But they’ve underestimated one thing—he’s Jack Reacher. In Too Deep by Lee and Andrew Child is the #1 bestseller that puts Reacher in the fight of his life. With 4.2 Amazon stars, this ride doesn’t slow down. Ever.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Reacher wakes up chained to a bed, battered, alone, and pissed off.
He doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t know how he got there. But someone thinks he’s an accomplice to a crime—and they’re going to make him talk.
Bad idea.
The last thing Reacher remembers is hitching a ride that ended in blood. The driver’s dead, and now his captors think Reacher was part of the plan. They’ve patched him up, sure… but only to break him down.
They’ve made one critical mistake: they let him live.
In the 29th installment of the New York Times bestselling series, Lee and Andrew Child deliver another pulse-pounding Jack Reacher thriller where survival isn’t enough—Reacher’s out for payback.
They brought him in. They won’t live to regret it.
