Two Straights Too Many
Romance · LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance
Our take
One little lie. One big problem. When I blurt out that I’m dating my best friend Elias, it’s supposed to be a joke—until we have to fake it for real. The only issue? It doesn’t feel fake anymore. A steamy, bi-awakening, friends-to-lovers romance set in Port Dale, where love often shows up in the most unexpected places.

About the book
What started as a joke is turning into something real… and it might cost me my best friend.
Blurting out that I’m dating my best friend, Elias, was supposed to shut my mother up. It was a convenient lie, a way to dodge her relentless matchmaking. After all, Elias and I have been inseparable for years—so why not?
Now, we’re stuck pretending to be madly in love. Except… it doesn’t feel like pretending anymore. The teasing, the stolen glances, the way he looks at me—it’s all beginning to feel real.
The problem? I never thought about Elias that way before. But now, I can’t stop.
A steamy, friends-to-lovers, bi-awakening romance, this Port Dale novel delivers sizzling chemistry, heart-melting moments, and the chance at a forever love neither of them saw coming.

About the book
I was the most powerful Earth Mage in existence. Leader of the Order of Architects. A legend, basically. Then I made the rookie mistake of trying to retire.
Turns out, centuries of enemies don’t respect vacation time.
They dragged me into the grave with them—or so I thought. Now I’m alive again, in a strange new world with unfamiliar rules, and probably too many tentacles. My magic? Gone. My experience? Fully intact. My patience? Running on fumes.
But if I climbed to the top once, I can do it again—before the monstrous beasts from the Shadow Plane turn this place into a smoking crater.
The question is, can I rise again before they drag me down for good?

About the book
In the shadowy world of espionage, even the smallest mission can be fatal.
The Circus handles politics. The Department handles war—or at least it used to. Long dormant and stripped of power, the Department seizes a chance at revival when a film canister smuggled from Helsinki hints at Soviet missiles near the West German border. But when their agent turns up dead, the film vanishes, and the stakes spiral out of control.
Enter John Avery, the Department’s youngest and last real hope. Tasked with sending an aging, war-scarred agent into the East, Avery must navigate a world where nothing is what it seems—and where loyalty is a liability.
The Looking Glass War is John le Carré’s haunting tale of espionage, ambition, and the cost of chasing faded glory.

Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen.
Vita Nostra
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Coming of Age
Our take
Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen. At this strange, terrifying school, the books are unreadable, the lessons incomprehensible, and failure brings punishment not to students, but to their families. Yet Sasha’s transformation is irresistible. A dark, philosophical fantasy in the vein of The Magicians, Vita Nostra is unlike anything you’ve ever read.

About the book
A school like no other. A curriculum beyond comprehension. A price too terrifying to imagine.
Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen. In a remote village, she finds herself trapped in a school unlike any other. The books cannot be read, the lessons refuse memorization, and failure doesn’t bring punishment upon the students—it falls upon their families.
Yet despite the fear, something inside Sasha is changing. She is learning things that defy reality, bending the rules of matter and time itself. And though she should run, she cannot imagine wanting anything else.
A mind-bending mix of philosophy, suspense, and dark fantasy, Vita Nostra is the anti-Harry Potter you didn’t know you needed. Perfect for fans of The Magicians and The Historian, this international sensation will leave you questioning everything.

Our take
On 9/11, Marian Fontana became a widow, a single mother—and the unlikeliest of activists. A Widow’s Walk is a deeply personal, darkly funny, and heartbreakingly honest memoir of love, loss, and finding purpose in the aftermath of tragedy.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana was sipping coffee, waiting for her husband to meet her on their eighth wedding anniversary.

With sharp wit and raw honesty, this memoir offers an intimate look at life after unimaginable loss—and the resilience it takes to keep walking forward when the world falls apart.

A modern detective. A brooding Highland laird. A murder that could cost her everything—including her heart.

An Age of Winters

Our take
In 1625, disease, famine, bitter winter, and accusations of witchcraft have put the German village of Eisbach on edge.

About the book
In the seventeenth century, witchfinders rule and paranoia thrives in a chilling novel about unrequited love, persecution, and betrayal by the bestselling author of The Road Beyond Ruin and Broken Angels.
In 1625, the Franconian village of Eisbach has been plagued by disease, famine, heinous crimes, and a merciless winter. Katarin Jaspers is the maidservant to the enigmatic Reverend Zacharias Engel, appointed by Rome to cure the village of suspected diabolism and save every God-fearing soul.
Zacharias soon finds his first witch, and the public burning of a local man could spell the end of misfortune. As a sense of peace settles over the village, Katarin finds herself increasingly infatuated with Zacharias, who is a disruption to her predictable existence and a balm for her cruel past. But peace for Katarin is short-lived. Margaretha Katz—the new midwife—is seen as a rival for the reverend’s attention. Fear and recrimination reach a fever pitch when a great tragedy sets the town fully on edge.
With the walls of winter closing in around Eisbach once again, rumours flourish and villagers turn on each other. Now, no one is safe from the pyre.

About the book
What do Hobbits read when they’re not fleeing Ringwraiths or hosting second breakfasts? Apparently, poetry.
Meet Tom Bombadil: river-spirit, forest mystery, and the Middle-earth equivalent of your quirky uncle who speaks in riddles and knows too much. In this newly expanded edition, Tolkien’s Hobbit-penned verses come alive—some lighthearted, some haunting—all brimming with lore.
But this isn’t just a rehash. Inside you’ll find never-before-published notes, early drafts, and even a snippet of prose featuring Tom himself. Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond provide the kind of footnotes that make lore nerds swoon, and the legendary Pauline Baynes (yes, Narnia’s illustrator) brings the Shire’s whimsy to life in stunning detail.
Is Bombadil just a woodland recluse—or something far more powerful?
