About the book
One woman's secret journal completely changes her marriage in this hilarious and biting memoir—the inspiration for the Netflix Original Series SEX/LIFE.
School psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex. Doing so would be considered "unethical" and "a fireable offense." Lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit.
Sex/Life: 44 Chapters About 4 Men is a laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest look at female sexuality, as told through the razor-sharp lens of domesticated bad girl BB Easton. No one and nothing is off limits as BB revisits the ex-boyfriends—a sadistic tattoo artist, a punk rock parolee, and a heavy metal bass player—that led her to finally find true love with a straight-laced, drop-dead-gorgeous . . . accountant.
After settling down and starting a family with her perfectly vanilla "husbot," Ken, BB finds herself longing for the reckless passion she had in her youth. She begins to write about these escapades in a secret journal, just for fun, but when Ken starts to act out the words on the pages, BB realizes that she might have stumbled upon the holy grail of behavior modification techniques.
The psychological dance that ensues is nothing short of hilarious as BB wields her journal like a blowtorch, trying to light a fire under her cold, distant partner. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but in the end, BB learns that the man she was trying so hard to change was perfect for her all along.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • From the internationally bestselling authors of the Illuminae Filescomes a new science fiction epic . . .
The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch . . .

A sociopath scientist with a fondness for shooting her bunkmates
A smart-ass tech whiz with the galaxy's biggest chip on his shoulder
An alien warrior with anger-management issues
A tomboy pilot who's totally not into him, in case you were wondering
And Ty's squad isn't even his biggest problem--that'd be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he's just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryo-sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of her depth. But she could be the catalyst that starts a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, discipline cases, and misfits might just be the last hope for the entire galaxy.
NOBODY PANIC.

Choosing what I loved the most about this book is a difficult decision to make. This is because I literally loved every bit of it. OnlineBookClub.org
Los Angeles. 1993.
One band chasing rock-and-roll immortality…
and one man about to lose everything for it.
The parties are wild, the music is loud, and one rising band is chasing rock-and-roll immortality.
For twenty-seven-year-old Cory Scott, success isn’t optional—it’s a promise. His best friend died believing their band, Suicide King, would make it. Cory will do whatever it takes to prove he was right.
When legendary music producer Alexandra Blake agrees to produce their debut album, the dream finally feels within reach.
All Cory has to do is keep the band together long enough to record it.
Simple… until he meets Alexandra.
Suddenly the music isn’t the only thing pulling at him.
While Cory becomes consumed by his growing obsession with Alexandra, his band begins to fracture. Jesse’s relationship is falling apart. Trent’s drug use is spiraling out of control. And the dream they’ve sacrificed everything for is hanging by a thread.
As Cory falls deeper in love—and Alexandra falls for him—the choice he’s been avoiding becomes impossible to ignore.
When everything finally crashes down, Cory must decide what matters most:
the band that depends on him,
the dream he promised to fulfill,
or the woman he can’t live without.
L.A. DREAMS is a powerful story about friendship, ambition, love, and the price of chasing fame in the unforgettable 1990s Los Angeles music scene.

About the book
A jaded homicide detective working a serial murder case is teamed up with a new partner—a law enforcer from an alien race
Big-city life in the near future is full of violence and tension for Saigo City homicide detective David Silver. His latest assignment is to track down a serial killer dubbed "Machete Man" because he hacks his victims to pieces. But Silver and his partner Mel Burnett just caught a break: One of Machete Man's intended victims—an elderly woman who would've been number six—escapes. And the killer left some DNA behind. Too bad the bureaucrats in charge have brought in a third wheel to assist the Homicide Task Force. Hailing from a superior race gifted with advanced technology, the Elaki have come to Earth to advise in everything from politics to medicine to big business—and now, it seems, police fieldwork. Standing seven feet tall with scales that ripple in the breeze, String resembles a stingray and smells like fresh lime. But he's turning out to be an unexpected asset in a case that's quickly morphing into something even more sinister: a far-reaching conspiracy that could leave a lot more people dead, including Detective Silver.
A twisting, complex crime tale with intriguing characters, including Silver's DEA- turned-enforcer wife, Rose, and an Elaki named the Puzzle Solver, Alien Blues realistically depicts a world in which aliens and humans can coexist.

The Empire's most famous athlete suddenly finds himself convicted of treason and sentenced to the Hunt, a televised dungeon expedition for the city's most undesirable prisoners. The dungeon is filled with treasure, traps, and bloodthirsty monsters.

The most ridiculous weapon ever might be the only thing that saves his life.
Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Cradle, and The Hunger Games.

Our take
At ninety-four, Mia Ziemann has already lived through a future where technology has made long life possible, comfortable, and deeply boring.

Rated 4.1 on Amazon and 3.7 on Goodreads, with praise from Wired and Publishers Weekly.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Memory, morality, and immortality merge in this "haunting and lyrical triumph" from the bestselling author of Schismatrix Plus (Time).
In the late twenty-first century, technology has lengthened lifespans far beyond what was once medically possible. Existence itself has become relatively easy—if boring. In this futuristic paradise, ninety-four-year-old Mia Ziemann longs for something different and undergoes a radical new treatment that restores both her body and mind to that of a twenty-year-old. After her dramatic transformation, Mia finds herself lost in an avant-garde world of passion, designer drugs, and creative expression . . .
"Ideas—big ideas—lurk beneath Mia's romp through Sterling's delightfully imagined newly post-human Earth. Art, artifice, the pursuit of immortality, and youth and aging bounce around the story, the characters, and their conversations in imaginative, engaging fashion. . . . In the end, Holy Fire is one of the most interesting, imaginative, and subtly humorous—and relevant for it—novels the cyberpunk/post-human era has produced. . . . Holy Fire may very well be [Sterling's] best work." —Speculiction
"An intellectual feat, it is also a treat for the spirit and the senses." —Wired
"A patented Sterling extra-special." —Newsday
"The future Sterling traces is plausible and provocative, particularly his consideration of several contrasting cultures, and of the disenfranchised who are unable to become 'post-human.' Those interested in serious speculative conversation set within a very strange near-future will find this much to their taste." —Publishers Weekly

About the book
Vampires . . . they ache, they love, they thirst for the forbidden. They are your friends and lovers, and your worst fears.
“A major new voice in horror fiction . . . an electric style and no shortage of nerve.”—Booklist
At a club in Missing Mile, N.C., the children of the night gather, dressed in black, look for acceptance. Among them are Ghost, who sees what others do not; Ann, longing for love; and Jason, whose real name is Nothing, newly awakened to an ancient, deathless truth about his father, and himself.
Others are coming to Missing Mile tonight. Three beautiful, hip vagabonds—Molochai, Twig, and the seductive Zillah, whose eyes are as green as limes—are on their own lost journey, slaking their ancient thirst for blood, looking for supple young flesh.
They find it in Nothing and Ann, leading them on a mad, illicit road trip south to New Orleans. Over miles of dark highway, Ghost pursues, his powers guiding him on a journey to reach his destiny, to save Ann from her new companions, to save Nothing from himself. . . .
“An important and original work . . . a gritty, highly literate blend of brutality and sentiment, hope and despair.”—Science Fiction Chronicle

About the book
Winner of the Illinois Soon To Be Famous Author Contest
Finalist for the Goethe Award in Late Historical Fiction
Women could not be surgeons. She did it anyway.
After the heartbreaking loss of her mother and a cruel attack by her drunken father, Ella Parker decides that dishonesty is fine when it serves her needs. At a time when wealthy young ladies do little more than embroidery, Ella escapes her luxurious but lonely life, and meets an eccentric ship surgeon who—once she impresses him with her quick-thinking and empathy—allows her to assist him during a surgery.
Compelled by Ella’s intelligence and interest in medicine, the doctor prepares her for a medical career, but there’s a catch: in early 19th century England, women are not accepted into universities. To fulfil her dream of becoming a doctor, Ella must disguise herself as a young man with aspirations of becoming a doctor. After changing her look and name, Ella finds her footing as she performs dissections, conducts experiments, and cares for patients. She also tutors Oli, a kind but struggling fellow student, but she must take caution. Even in her loneliest moment, she cannot trust anyone or make friends.
As Ella continues to excel in her studies, brilliantly saving the life of a patient, she becomes a top contender for the apprenticeship with a famed professor. Dogged by fear of discovery, she must choose between truth and lies, and distinguish between real and false friends, before her pretense is uncovered.
