About the book
Mitch’s life was already falling apart. Then his buddy revealed a secret starship. Now Mitch is stranded light-years from home, dodging hostile aliens, a rogue auto-pilot, and an AI with way too much attitude.
Oh, and there’s also the beautiful alien soldier who keeps threatening to steal his ship—to fight an oppressive military faction, of course.
All Mitch wants is to get back to Earth, but the Resistance needs a pilot, his snarky AI is making bets on his survival, and his new co-pilot is really persuasive (not to mention easy on the eyes). Suddenly, he’s faced with a choice: flee or fight?
Packed with humor, action, and intergalactic mayhem, My Buddy Gave Me a Starship is perfect for fans of Galaxy Quest and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

He calls me his wife. But I’m just a stand-in. A prisoner in a role I never chose.
Adrian Volkov is the most powerful man in the city—ruthless, unforgiving, and deadly. When he offers me a job, it’s not a request. Either I step into the shoes of his dead wife, or I go to prison. The choice is clear.

A world ruled by women. A system where men fight to breed.
For generations, women have held absolute power, and men exist only to serve. Neen Salvek never questioned the system’s perfection—until she steps inside the Arena Dome and sees the brutal truth with her own eyes.

About the book
For Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, alcohol was the seasoning that made everything better—whether it was surviving a brutal comedy crowd, enduring a PTA meeting, or just watching The Bachelor. A drink took the edge off, made things fun. Until it didn’t.

In the silence of deep space, the infinite ocean of qi waits—alien, dangerous, and maddening to all who encounter it.
To Flail Against Infinity
Sci-Fi · Space Opera
Our take
In the silence of deep space, the infinite ocean of qi waits—alien, dangerous, and maddening to all who encounter it. But I’m not like them. I’ve seen it, touched it, and now I can cultivate it. With power comes peril, and every step deeper into this world brings new threats—and unimaginable possibilities.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Infinite power comes with infinite danger.
Once mortal, I knew three things about cultivators: they crave hierarchy, despise disrespect, and lose their sanity in deep space. There’s a reason for that—the void reveals an infinite ocean of qi, a force so alien it drives most cultivators mad.
But I’m different. I’m not really alive, and yet I can see it. I can touch it. And now, for better or worse, I can cultivate it.
With new power surging through me, I’ve stepped into a world where strength determines survival. The more I harness, the more I’ll be hunted—by those who want the power for themselves, and by forces beyond comprehension.
How far can I push the limits of this power before it pushes back?

Late Migrations
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Part memoir, part nature meditation, Late Migrations is a breathtaking reflection on love, loss, and the quiet wonders of the natural world. Hailed as “magnificent” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and “an American classic” (Ann Patchett), Margaret Renkl’s assured debut is deeply moving and beautifully illustrated. A must-read for lovers of lyrical nonfiction.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Margaret Renkl grew up exploring Alabama’s riverbeds and red-dirt roads, nurtured by a mother bursting with creativity and a father who offered quiet, steadfast love. Now, as she transitions from child to caregiver, she weaves a moving reflection on family, memory, and the inevitable passage of time.
Intertwined with these deeply personal essays are keen observations of the natural world surrounding her Nashville home—monarch butterflies, bluebirds, and the quiet dignity of the wild. Through loss and renewal, Renkl reminds us that grief is only love’s twin.
Hailed as “magnificent” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and “an American classic” (Ann Patchett), Late Migrations is a luminous meditation on life, love, and the quiet miracles found in the everyday. Gorgeously illustrated by the author’s brother, this debut is not to be missed.
