About the book
A brilliant psychopath. A relentless tracker. A game where losing means death.
Allander Atlasia is a name whispered in fear—a ruthless serial killer locked away in the world’s most secure prison, known as the Tower. But when he orchestrates a brutal escape, the world becomes his hunting ground once more. One by one, his victims fall, each murder a twisted re-enactment of his own dark past.
Enter Jade Marlow—an ex-FBI profiler as dangerous as the man he’s hunting. With a mind as sharp as the killer’s and demons of his own, Marlow is the only one who can predict Atlasia’s next move. But as the body count rises, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur.
Two brilliant minds. One deadly showdown. The Tower is open, and the game has begun.

About the book
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Aviator’s Wife comes a story of courage on the prairie, inspired by the devastating storm that struck the Great Plains in 1888, threatening the lives of hundreds of immigrant homesteaders, especially schoolchildren.
“A nail-biter . . . poignant, powerful, perfect.” —Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network
The morning of January 12, 1888, was unusually mild, following a punishing cold spell. It was warm enough for the homesteaders of the Dakota Territory to venture out again, and for their children to return to school without their heavy coats—leaving them unprepared when disaster struck. At the hour when most prairie schools were letting out for the day, a terrifying, fast-moving blizzard blew in without warning. Schoolteachers as young as sixteen were suddenly faced with life and death decisions: Keep the children inside, to risk freezing to death when fuel ran out, or send them home, praying they wouldn’t get lost in the storm?
Based on actual oral histories of survivors, this gripping novel follows the stories of Raina and Gerda Olsen, two sisters, both schoolteachers—one becomes a hero of the storm and the other finds herself ostracized in the aftermath. It’s also the story of Anette Pedersen, a servant girl whose miraculous survival serves as a turning point in her life and touches the heart of Gavin Woodson, a newspaperman seeking redemption. It was Woodson and others like him who wrote the embellished news stories that lured northern European immigrants across the sea to settle a pitiless land. Boosters needed them to settle territories into states, and they didn’t care what lies they told these families to get them there—or whose land it originally was.
At its heart, this is a story of courage, of children forced to grow up too soon, tied to the land because of their parents’ choices. It is a story of love taking root in the hard prairie ground, and of families being torn asunder by a ferocious storm that is little remembered today—because so many of its victims were immigrants to this country.

Me Talk Pretty One Day
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Me Talk Pretty One Day collects David Sedaris’s autobiographical humor about moving to Paris, struggling to learn French, family life, and everyday irritations, with a 4.2-star rating from more than 16,500 Amazon reviewers. Ideal for readers who like sharp observational humor, self-deprecating essays, family stories, and cultural mishaps.

About the book
This vibrant collection of expat essays from legendary humorist David Sedaris is a cause for jubiliation.
Sedaris's move to Paris in the early aughts inspired hilarious pieces, such as "Me Talk Pretty One Day", about his attempts to learn French. His family is another inspiration—"You Cant Kill the Rooster" is a portrait of his brother who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers and cashiers with 6-inch fingernails.
Compared by The New Yorker to Twain and Hawthorne, Sedaris is one of America's best-loved authors, and his biting essays on living in Paris are some of the funniest he's ever written. (At last, someone even meaner than the French!) The sort of blithely sophisticated, loopy humour that might have resulted if Dorothy Parker and James Thurber had a love child.
“If you’re looking for some comic relief, look no further than David Sedaris.” ―NPR
