When Mia has trouble learning a cool new trick on her board, though, other words come to her—words that won’t leave her alone. Words like fail. Are these words really about her, too?

But Mia knows who she is... she’s someone who doesn’t give up. And if she keeps trying, she’ll find her five words, the ones that fit just right.

The Girl Who Figured it Out The Inspiring True Story of Wheelchair Athlete Minda Dentler Becoming an Ironman World Champion

Minda Dentler

This uplifting picture book tells the amazing true story of Minda Dentler, the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship triathlon

•

Inspirational true story: Minda’s story is one of incredible determination and persistence—themes that all kids (and adults) can learn from and relate to

•

Disability representation: As we’ve seen with the success of All the Way to the Top, parents, teachers, and librarians are looking for more picture books featuring people with disabilities

•

Author Minda Dentler is a great public speaker: Minda’s TEDtalk has been viewed more than 1.4 million times and she regularly tours the world for speaking events. She is incredibly excited to inspire and empower young readers with her story!

Minda Dentler made history when she became the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the world’s toughest triathlon, using only her arms to finish a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile marathon. But the journey there wasn’t easy. Minda was paralyzed as an infant in India after contracting polio, and was left in the care of an orphanage. After she was adopted by an American family and moved to Washington, she underwent surgeries to enable her to walk with leg braces and crutches.

As she grew, she faced many challenges, but remained undeterred by her disability.

Her decision to begin training and competing in triathlons was no different. Despite the obstacles and failures she experienced along the way, Minda’s persistence and determination in the face of setbacks helped her to make sports history and inspire people around the world to rethink what’s possible!

MARCH 24

MINDA DENTLER is the first female wheelchair athlete to complete the Ironman World Championship.

In addition to being a mom, an athlete, and an activist, she is a motivational speaker.

She shares her story with Fortune 500 companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, along with nonprofits and universities, urging listeners to find their own personal Ironman.

When the narrator explains about the big boom that caused dinosaur extinction, Dakota the dinosaur and his ragtag group of friends don’t want to hear it! Taking over the story—much to the narrator’s dismay—these dizzy dinos share their spacetastic theories about moon-sauruses, Martian dinosaurs, and…zombie-sauruses?

This silly science lesson gone wrong is an amusing lesson based on real scientific theories. If Nasa sticks to schedule the manned mission to circle the moon will be November 2024, and then we’ll really know if Dinosaurs are in Space!

Every year, Paige and her family have spent the summer at the Covingtons’ vacation house on Shadow River. After all, Audrey Covington is her best friend. Or rather, she was. Last summer, everything changed after Audrey went missing.

At the time, the Shadow River locals wondered about a connection to Madison Blake, another girl who’d disappeared, except the two girls came from completely different worlds. One summer later, Audrey’s case has gone cold. This year, Paige plans to spend her time at the Covington house with Audrey’s older brother Nate, who she’s grown closer to in the aftermath.

But then, Paige discovers something hidden in Audrey’s old room: a burner phone, containing a text chain from a secret guy. It’s clear the two had a close relationship before Audrey went missing, but it’s Audrey’s final text that makes Paige’s blood curdle: “What are we going to do about Madison?”

Now Paige enlists Nate’s help investigating what the cops never could. But tracking down two missing girls who may already be beyond saving means entering a world far darker than Paige could’ve imagined. And if she isn’t careful, she could become missing girl number three.

Page-turning survival thriller: Tense, twisty story in an isolated desert setting where people aren’t who they seem, the elements are unpredictable, and one wrong step—literally—can have fatal consequences

Cousins Katie and Aster decide to put a difficult year behind them by taking a forty-nine mile backpacking trek through the Utah desert—alone, no phones except for the GPS satellite phone for emergencies. Though they’re experienced hikers, the trail proves much more treacherous than expected, with map problems, injuries, and a storm that leaves them short on supplies. So they’re relieved to run into Riley, a friendly young woman who shares food with them, though the guy she’s with, Finn, is uncomfortably silent—brooding, even—and clearly the couple is fighting about something. In the middle of the night, Riley comes to the girls’ tent, sobbing, saying, “Finn did something.” Katie offers Riley their GPS satellite phone to call for help, and she flees with it. In the morning, there’s no sign of Riley or Finn, their campsite is abandoned, and the GPS phone is found—deliberately smashed.

The nearest place to seek help is a two-day walk away, and if Aster and Katie lose the couple’s trail, they’re certain no one will ever see Riley alive again. Their only choice is to track Finn through the deadly desert—but he’s already following them.

But three days after crying at Audrey’s graveside, Jo stumbles on the impossible: Audrey, standing barefoot in the backyard, real and solid with the quilt they buried her in wrapped around her shoulders. Except… Audrey isn’t breathing, she’s still marred with the evidence of an autopsy, and she’s decaying rapidly, even in the winter freeze. Worst of all, Audrey is hungry, and only human blood, willingly given, can curb her relentless appetite.

Jo is determined to rise to the occasion; she hides Audrey in the garden shed and sustains her with her own blood, taking on the responsibility of finding answers to what brought Audrey back to them and how to keep her. When her search takes her to her sister’s grieving inner circle of friends, Jo finds herself drawn into their fold—and to Audrey’s boyfriend, Sam, who has taken Audrey’s death especially hard.

As Jo slips further into her sister’s old life, Audrey’s hunger and jealousy grow insatiable.

Struggling to meet her sister’s increasing demands, protect her parents, navigate her fracturing friendship, and indulge her growing infatuation with Sam, Jo will be forced to decide which of her loved ones she needs the most—and which she’s willing to sacrifice to save them.

Seventeen-year-old Warren is haunted by a sinister voice in his head urging him to commit unspeakable acts of violence on the people around him. He is horrified by the voice and does everything in his power to ensure there is no way for him to hurt anyone.

However, rumors begin to spread about a string of disappearances in southeastern Kansas, only seventy miles away from his family’s farm, and his father hasn’t returned from what was supposed to be a simple trip. Warren knows he needs to stop living in fear so he can find his father.

As he makes his way through Kansas, he learns more about the disappearances and does his best to drown out the voice in his head. He finds himself at a suspicious inn run by the Benders, a family with deeply unsettling mannerisms. That is, except for Kate, who Warren feels a strong pull to—and it seems like she might feel the pull right back. It’s only after they part ways that he learns the Benders are responsible for all the missing people, and when he returns to the inn, it’s clear the Benders have fled town, leaving behind an orchard of buried bodies—including his father’s.

Rich historical fantasy: The decadent Roaring ‘20s setting is interwoven with social critiques on race and class to create a compelling backdrop for the two Black female protagonists

It’s 1926 and reapers, the once-human vampires with a terrifying affliction, are on the rise in New York. But the Saint family’s thriving reaper-hunting enterprise holds reign over the city, more powerful than even the organized criminals who run the nightclubs. Eighteen year-old Elise Saint, home after five years in Paris, is the reluctant heir to the empire. Only one thing weighs heavier on Elise’s mind than her family obligations: the knowledge that the Harlem reapers want her dead.

Layla Quinn is a young reaper haunted by her past. Though reapers have existed in America for three centuries, created

by New World atrocities and cruel experiments, Layla became one just five years ago. The night she was turned, she lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity, and she’ll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.

But some reapers are inexplicably turning part human again, leaving a wake of mysterious and brutal killings. When Layla is framed for one of these attacks, the Saint patriarch offers her a deal she can’t refuse: to work with Elise to investigate how these murders might be linked to shocking rumors of a reaper cure. Once close friends, now bitter enemies, Elise and Layla explore the city’s underworld, confronting their intense feelings for one another, and uncovering the sinister truths about a growing threat to reapers and humans alike.

The only guy in the world who could kiss me was about to be taken out by some Nightling with a vendetta against his family.

Fallon Bane thought that being cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that would ever happen to her.

She was wrong.

The worst thing was finding and falling for Ariyon—the only person in the realm who can touch her—only to accidentally trap him in the land of souls and swap powers with him.

Now she must act as Maven healer to Queen Solana while trying to figure out how to sneak into the Realm of Eternity to save Ariyon.

She drove me crazy, in both good and bad ways, and all I wanted to do was finally kiss her, hold her, feel her body relax into mine like it’d found its missing other half.

Aryion Madden had enough to deal with: heir to the throne, Maven healing powers that meant he would die young, and orphaned by Marissa Bane. Then, he met Marissa’s daughter and fell in love, upending everything he thought he knew.

Now, he has to fight for his life—and maybe his afterlife—against the undead using Fallon’s dark magic.

And if that’s not enough to worry about, all the while, the prophesied Nightling war is approaching.

Except Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. No matter how much I’ve fought my feelings for them, no matter how much I’ve hated them or how many of their deceptions I’ve uncovered—I want them in my life. I want to fight for them. All three of them.

Madison Kate, Book 4

No one owns me. No one is taking them away. This is my life, damn it, and these guys are mine to keep. If a war is what it takes, then a war is what our enemies will get.

Hades, Book 1

Hades, Book 2

The first book in TikTok sensation Tate James’s Hades series, a spicy and suspenseful “why choose” romance connected to the world of Madison Kate. Twenty-three-year-old Hayden “Hades” is the most powerful gang leader in Shadow Grove…but new dangers and new feelings might just threaten her circle of hell.

Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves.

The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of those members loyal to my father were spared mercy. Not a single one.

I let the media twist and distort the story. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves in spreading false news, in covering our tracks. To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct. But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved and came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves. I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving.

To keep the people depending on me safe.

The next book in TikTok sensation Tate James’s Hades series, a spicy and suspenseful “why choose” romance connected to the world of Madison Kate. When a ghost from Hades’s past blows up her club, threatening her position and the people she loves, this means war.

Five years ago, I made a choice that I haven’t regretted a day since. I protected the single most important person in my world, my little sister. I protected myself, and I seized control of the Tri-state Timberwolves. Since then, I’ve wielded that power with an iron fist. Done whatever it took to take care of my people. Kept us out of the public eye, and kept us safe. Now a ghost from my past is threatening my position. Challenging me. Peddling their poison and breaking my rules.

Stabbing at me in the dark. Blowing up my fucking club.

The final installment in TikTok sensation Tate James’s Hades series, a spicy and suspenseful “why choose” romance connected to the world of Madison Kate. After a seeming betrayal by one of the men who owns her heart, Hades must pull out all the stops to destroy her enemies once and for all.

The next book in TikTok sensation Tate James’s Hades series, a spicy and suspenseful “why choose” romance connected to the world of Madison Kate. Hades’s saboteur is closer than ever, and he’ll stop at nothing until she and the men she loves are dead. But he’ll have to get past her first.

They say to keep your enemies close and mine are all around me. At the heart of it are four dangerously gorgeous men. The man who wants to light my darkness and already paid the price for loving me. The man who can handle my power and loves every dark inch of me. The man who has been my closest companion and now threatens to upend our carefully balanced world in pursuit of me. But the fourth man is probably the most terrifying. He wants to take the others away. He wants to tear the spinal column out my empire. Destroy my businesses. Destroy me. Why? Because the man who should have stayed dead wants me and he will stop at nothing until he’s carved out my bloody, beating heart and left me broken.

Betrayed. My best friend, my right hand, the man I trusted above all others.

Zayden de Rosa declared his love for me and pursued me until he shattered the walls between us. Then the man who loved me proved to be a traitor. I never saw that coming.

Abandoned. My fierce lover, he died to protect me. Let me kill him and erase him so he could move in the shadows. He’s out there alone and he has no idea what’s happened. All he’ll know is that I’m not where I’m supposed to be. Something that might cost him his life for real. I have to trust him to survive on his own. He never saw that coming.

Riley Thorn, Book 1

Riley Thorn, Book 2

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score thrills with a hilariously riveting romcom mystery featuring quirky clairvoyant sleuth Riley Thorn. Riley has a murder to solve and she doesn’t need a too-hot, goody two shoes detective sticking his nose into her investigation, especially when he writes her in at the top of his suspect list.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score thrills with a hilariously riveting romcom mystery featuring quirky clairvoyant sleuth Riley Thorn. For Riley Thorn and her detective boyfriend Nick Santiago, solving a string of murder cases is a piece of cake compared to gaining the approval of certain family members. But when the killer targets her next, she’s in for way more than an awkward family dinner.

A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is. Divorced. Broke.

Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she’s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they’re clairvoyant visions.

Just when things can’t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor…who turns up murdered.

LUCY SCORE is a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

She grew up in a literary family who insisted that the dinner table was for reading and earned a degree in journalism. She writes full-time from the Pennsylvania home she and Mr. Lucy share with their obnoxious cat, Cleo. When not spending hours crafting heartbreaker heroes and kick-ass heroines, Lucy can be found on the couch, in the kitchen, or at the gym. She hopes to someday write from a sailboat, oceanfront condo, or tropical island with reliable Wi-Fi.

Summer is heating up for reluctant psychic Riley Thorn and her handsome private investigator boyfriend, Nick Santiago. First, her disapproving grandmother arrives determined to make Riley take her powers seriously or face the wrath of “the Guild.” Then there’s the homicide detective who needs her help figuring out who murdered the well-dressed corpse in the walk-in closet. Nick’s got his own hands full with a tricky missing person case and his parents who want to know why he didn’t tell them about his live-in girlfriend. Then there’s the fact that he’s still the tiniest bit stressed about Riley almost getting murdered earlier that summer. The last thing he wants is her getting involved in another investigation. Things go from bad to worse when the body count starts stacking up, the meet-the-parents dinner goes horribly wrong, and their elderly roommate is up to no good…dressed like a mime.

Not only do they finally have their own place, they also haven’t found any new dead bodies on the premises. Yep. It looks like summer is over and so is Riley’s bad luck. Or is it? While Nick gives up sleeping and showering to obsess over the cold case that still haunts him, his octogenarian business partner Mrs. Penny is calling the investigative shots. It’s every bit as bad as you can imagine. Meanwhile, Riley has her hands full fixing up the crumbling crime scene they call home and setting boundaries with the breaking-and-entering next door neighbors. You know. Normal stuff. Then Riley gets kidnapped and her psychic powers go on the fritz. To make matters worse, it becomes clear that Riley’s new house guests are definitely either in trouble or are trouble after bad guys deliver a warning with a severed finger.

Her spray-tanned, self-absorbed morning news anchor ex-husband careening back into her life in a bullet-ridden car begging for help was not on Riley Thorn’s bingo card. However, her hot private investigator boyfriend Nick Santiago refusing to take the job is…well, less of a surprise. Too bad for Nick that his octogenarian business partner, Mrs. Penny, overrules him and decides to take the lead on the case. And when a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley’s ex, the mile-long suspect list puts all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Even the wrinkly, retired ones. With Nick and Riley busy interviewing suspects, their elderly roommates wreak havoc in the surveillance department. It’s only a matter of time before Riley’s ex brings danger directly to her doorstep. Can she block out the chaos and focus on her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the list of suspects, or will Griffin Gentry’s karma be the downfall of them all?

She thwarts every attempt Carter makes to retreat back inside himself, somehow bringing him closer to being whole again.

Even if it lands right in his backyard, and has miles of red hair. Gianna Decker has her hands full—no, overflowing—with problems. With two kids, a useless ex, and a brand new yoga studio, the last thing on her mind is finding a man who’ll cause her more problems.

Dating her broody landlord? Yeah, that would be a problem. Dating the sexy mayor of the town she just moved to? Definitely a problem.

Dating the “6kite” son of her father’s new lady friend? It seems like Beckett is a bad idea just waiting to happen. But he’s a bad idea she can’t seem to resist.

As Beckett and Gianna find themselves thrown together again and again, they can’t help but fall into the temptation of sizzling stolen kisses, of a desire so hot it brands. And soon they’re much, much closer than they ever wanted. Tempers flair when their families complicate things and the interfering citizens of Blue Moon Bend step in with their special brand of chaos.

Can Beckett and Gianna manage to disentangle themselves before it’s too late? Or is the temptation too much for either of them to deny?

“Submission is a gift. The more powerful the person, the greater the gift.”

Ramses Howell is a self-made man. A billionaire obsessed with performance, he measures himself by his wins and his achievements. He’s proven he can get what he wants, and from the moment Blake Abbot, brilliant and alluring escort, catches his eye, she becomes his top priority. But he can tell something doesn’t add up. He sees her skill at what she does, but he knows she’s hiding something, and he intends to find out what.

Blake has gone to great extremes to guard her secrets. She’s known who Ramses is for years, and knows exactly how dangerous he can be. But when Ramses offers her a game that he created just for her, she can’t resist playing. After all, he has what she wants, too. She sets boundaries, adds rules to the game…but soon finds herself breaking her own in the process.

As fantasy invades reality, their new arrangement threatens to consume them. Blake and Ramses both cross lines they swore they never would, questioning everything they thought they wanted—and everything their future could be, if they don’t destroy each other first.

Remi Hayes is beginning to think she’s cursed—her fiancé cheated on her, her brother Jude is a major pain in her ass, and the moldering mansion she inherited from her uncle might just be haunted.

Flipping Blackleaf Manor already feels impossible, even before Remi is blackmailed by Dane Covett, the dangerously hot doctor-next-door, and Grimstone’s most eligible bachelor—if you can ignore the fact that everyone in town thinks he murdered his wife.

Remi doesn’t want to believe it, especially after Dane sews up a gash in her thigh and steals a kiss in payment—a kiss that makes it hard to walk for reasons that have nothing to do with an injured leg.

But as the renovation takes a strange and violent turn, Remi must decide if Dane is the one haunting her nights, or if he’s trying to protect her from something much worse.

In a desperate bid to get out of town, twenty-seven-year-old virgin and bookstore nerd Elena Zelenska becomes the world’s most unlikely mail-order bride. Her gamble pays off when she’s swept off her feet by Benjamin Wittacker, handsome single father and (gasp!) actual published author. Elena’s new fiancé seems almost too good to be true.

Her life is turning into a fairytale, especially once Ben starts building her a castle in the woods. But when Elena arrives in Grimstone, her fairytale turns darker. The castle in the woods is a macabre labyrinth of hidden chambers, and Ben is no Prince Charming. In fact, he might just be a monster.

Isolated far from home, Elena’s only ally is Atlas Covett, the owner of the Monarch hotel. Massive and stern, even Atlas’ employees are terrified of him. He becomes Elena’s unexpected protector, offering solace and sanctuary from the darkness that threatens to consume her. As Elena’s bond with Atlas deepens, her jealous fiancé exerts his control in increasingly twisted ways. Elena must find a way out before the castle he’s building becomes a prison she’ll never escape.

The alternative would mean embracing the gift—or curse—shared by her mother and grandmother: she can see angels and demons, including a dark and haunting entity who’s been with Marlow her entire life. At least, she believes that’s all he is until a fae from the Nordic pantheon strolls into her life and informs her that she’s been sharing a bed with the Prince of Hell.

No one told witch Selene Bowers having a soul mate would be so difficult. Nor did they warn her that he might be a vengeful, ancient sorcerer who would frame her for murder, force her to remember a past life he swears she lived, and then coerce her into an unbreakable marriage pact. But that’s exactly what happens the night of the Samhain Ball, when Selene finds herself in a jail cell.

After waking from enchanted sleep, Memnon swore to find out why Selene betrayed him long ago. But when his soul mate’s memories return, the truth reveals something else entirely. Horrified by what he’s done and desperate to make amends, Memnon offers Selene the unthinkable: a magic bond that will give her full control over his will. And Selene is desperate enough to accept it.

But other enemies still haunt Henbane Coven, Selene’s magical academy, and they’ve taken a keen interest in her. If she wants to stop them, she’ll need Memnon’s help.

But partnering with the sorcerer is a tricky business, especially when he’s dead set on winning her heart. And that can’t happen…because the bond controlling him will break the moment she falls in love with him.

Isolde Laurence is an uncommon bride. She’s been raised to do as her father told her, put elegance and duty above all else—but unbeknownst to him, her loyalty has shifted.

Now she’s in service to the Church, one of the elite spies who work for her uncle, a cardinal. Her latest assignment from the Church? Marry Mark Trevena, the owner of a notorious club in DC where the rich and powerful come to play, and seduce him.

But what was supposed to be a simple lie has become far more complicated: Isolde has fallen for Mark’s handsome and emotionally wounded bodyguard, Tristan. Even worse— she’s falling for her future husband himself, a mistake she made once before and has bitterly regretted ever since.

And there’s something far darker at play than the machinations of Isolde’s uncle or even the twisted longings of her own heart. Because Isolde’s new husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess Isolde and Tristan both might tear all three of them to pieces. If the heartbreak doesn’t do the job first…

Catch the Sun Jennifer Hartmann

A brand new standalone YA survivor romance from Jennifer Hartmann, the fan-favorite author of Still Beating, Lotus, and June First.

•

Excellent success record: Jennifer Hartmann is a USA Today bestselling author. Still Beating, her most popular novel, has sold over 8,000 print copies in just its first few months with Bloom.

•

Trending subject material: Jennifer is writing in the high-angst romance space, which is increasingly trending on social media and in stores with the rise of authors like Colleen Hoover.

•

Social media star: The #JenniferHartmann tag on TikTok has almost 14 million views, and #StillBeating has over 17 million.

Kissing you feels like catching the sun.

Seventeen-year-old Ella Sunbury is the sister of a convicted murderer. She loved her brother, but that love feels like a curse now, shunned by her classmates and left with a heart full of shrapnel from a gunshot that might as well have killed her, too. On the outside, she’s a normal high school senior. Inside, she feels like a storm cloud that will never break.

But there is a boy who has always believed she was the sun.

Ella hasn’t seen Max Manning since they were seven, since they spent one perfect summer becoming best friends before Ella’s family left town. When she moves back across the street from him after her brother’s sentencing, she expects Max to treat her like an outcast, too--but all he wants is to be close to her again. To understand her. Be her friend, and then more.

JULY 24

JENNIFER HARTMANN resides in northern Illinois with her devoted husband and three hooligans.

When she is not writing angsty love stories, she is likely thinking about writing them. She enjoys sunsets (because mornings are hard), bike riding, traveling, binging Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns, and that time of day when coffee gets replaced by wine. Jennifer is a wedding photographer with her husband.

She is also excellent at making puns and finding inappropriate humor in mundane situations. She loves tacos. She also really, really wants to pet your dog.

Hosting her brother’s wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning’s life. Already the family screw-up, she can’t afford to fail. And nobody—absolutely nobody!—can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs.

WAGs, Book 1

Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate’s gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor, and he’s the best man? Let the games begin.

So what if he’s facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he’s really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you’ve got to make an effort if you want to score.

Can you fall in love with someone you’ve never even met?

Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that her favorite client at Fetch—an anonymous virtual assistant service—is actually hockey star Matt Eriksson.

Although it’s against the rules for her to check his file, she’s 95% sure she spends at least part of each day texting with her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still nursing a wounded heart thanks to her recent breakup, Hailey is perfectly content with some harmless online flirting... until she has to meet her client. Face to face. Cue: utter panic.

Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He’s still not over the destruction of his marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on the team who knows the truth—that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix. He barely sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel insane. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won’t show her pretty face.

WAGs, Book 2

But it’s nothing that a pair of fourth row hockey seats can’t fix. Hailey can’t resist the offer. Matt can’t resist Hailey. Good thing he doesn’t have to. Fire up the kiss cam!

Fractured fairy tales bring the heat: High heat erotic retellings of fractured fairy tales play with familiar stories in a unique and compelling way

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn’t good enough for her parents, and she definitely isn’t good enough for the uncle who took her in after they died. But she’s smart. Cunning. Beautiful. And she doesn’t have time for silly things like a moral compass, anyway. Her uncle, the most powerful gangster in the south, utilizes her as he sees fit, and she falls in line dutifully, aching to be accepted as part of the family.

When her cousin comes home to the coastal town of Atlantic Cove, Venesa is forced to interact with the man who comes with her, and soon realizes he’s the only one who has ever seen her for her.

There’s just one problem. She can never have him.

Enzo “Loverboy” Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld at night. Underboss to the most notorious syndicate the Mafia has seen in decades, his dangerous reputation precedes him. He’s untouchable, and answers to no one except his father, the strongest Don in the Northeast. When Enzo is tasked with getting married, he doesn’t think twice.

Until he meets his fiancee’s younger cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But a mob wife isn’t supposed to actually be one of the bad guys, and Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want.

When plans start to unravel and temptation sings its siren’s song, they’ll both have to choose what’s more important; duty to their families, or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

British soccer star Asher Donovan is one of the most famous athletes in the world—and one of the most reckless. As notorious for his love of fast cars and women as he is for his skills on the pitch, his personal life finally puts his professional one at risk after a high-profile incident. But nothing he’s done in the past is as risky as falling for Scarlett Dubois, the sister of his greatest rival—and his new teammate. Scarlett is a former ballerina whose career was tragically cut short by an accident that left her with chronic pain. Though she’s adapted to her new life as a ballet teacher instead of dancer, she’s less than thrilled to be training a bunch of arrogant soccer players. When she’s tasked with improving their physical performance ahead of an important championship game, she vows to keep the lessons strictly professional - no matter how much a certain player (and family enemy) tempts her.

Even though he almost got her killed, she knows it was every kid for themselves that night.

Librarian Chloe Sampson has been struggling: to take care of her three younger siblings, to find herself, to make ends meet. She’s just about at the end of her rope when she stumbles across a rare edition of a book from the 1960s at the local flea market.

Deciding it’s a sign of her luck turning, she takes it home with her—only to be shocked when her cranky hermit of a neighbor swoops in and offers to buy it for an exorbitant price. Intrigued, Chloe takes a closer look at the book only to find notes scribbled in the margins between two young lovers back when the book was new…one of whom is almost definitely Jasper Holmes, the curmudgeon next door.

And when she begins following the clues left behind, she discovers this isn’t the only old book in town filled with their romantic marginalia. This kickstarts a literary scavenger hunt that Chloe is determined to see through to the end. What happened to the two tragic lovers who corresponded in the margins of so many different library books? And what does it have to do with the old, sad man next door—who only now has begun to open his home to Chloe and her siblings? In a romantic tale that spans the decades, Chloe discovers that there’s much more to her neighbor than meets the eye. And in allowing herself to accept the unexpected friendship he offers, she learns that some love stories begin in the unlikeliest of places.

For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.)

Soon, Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too…and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew.

Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he’s the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place—for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard—including his father—intent on standing in their way.

Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she’s ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she’s willing to do to truly make a difference.

Laurence Dalziel is worn down and washed up, and for him, the Scene is all played out.

Six years from his last relationship, he’s pushing forty and tired of going through the motions. Then he meets Toby Finch. Young. Fearless, fierce, and vulnerable. Everything Laurie can’t remember being.

Toby doesn’t know who he wants to be or what he wants to do. But he knows, with all the certainty of youth, that he wants Laurie. The problem is, while Laurie will surrender his body, he won’t surrender his heart. Because Toby is too young, too intense, too easy to hurt. And what they have—no matter how right it feels—can’t last. It can’t mean anything. It can’t be real.

Beautiful Villain Rebecca Kenney

Neon Gods meets The Great Gatsby in this spicy modern retelling with a magical twist.

•

Hot subgenre: High-heat retellings are very much in the zeitgeist and these fractured literary fairy tales play with familiar stories in a unique and compelling way.

•

Phenomenal hook: Perfect for fans of Katee Robert and Emily McIntire, with enough heat to set #SpicyTok aflame.

Daisy Finnegan is looking forward to a summer of fun on Glassy Mountain, North Carolina. She doesn’t want to think about college, or the newly awakened power of her own voice, which has a way of making people do increasingly frightening things. But when her cousin goes missing at an exclusive house party, Daisy confronts the mysterious host… only to discover the wealthy recluse is Jay Gatsby, her childhood sweetheart. Shocked at the change in the boy she once knew so well, Daisy investigates the source of Gatsby’s new riches and becomes entangled in a web of dizzying wealth and lies and obsession darker than she ever could have dreamed—culminating in an act of violence that shatters the summer haze and threatens to drown them all.

Gilded Monsters, Book 1

But it isn’t until Gatsby is shot through the heart—and survives—that Daisy discovers the full truth. Gatsby clawed his way up in the world by selling the secret of immortality to the highest bidder, using his lavish parties as the ultimate cover. But Gatsby’s intricately-laid plans are in danger…and so, by extension, is he. With her friends’ lives at stake, her own untested power still volatile, and an unimaginable threat closing in, Daisy will have to face an impossible choice: side with the man who claimed her heart…or with the monsters who would see him lost to her forever.

JULY 24

REBECCA. KENNEY writes contemporary fantasy, paranormal romance, and spicy fantasy romance. She lives in upstate South Carolina with her handsome, blue-eyed husband and two smart, energetic kids.

The flirtatious royal has held Fallon’s heart ever since Dante gave Fallon her first kiss.

But as doubts creep in of how a Fae prince and a halfling could ever have lasting happiness together, Fallon finds hope in an oracle’s prophecy: she will be queen; but first, she must free the crows.

The Kingdom of Crows, Book 1

Confused yet determined, Fallon embarks on the hunt that could give her everything she’s wanted but couldn’t have— power, respect, perhaps even acceptance, and most desirably, her prince. But unknown to Fallon, her quest will unleash more than just her destiny, and when the ancient demon awakens, he plans to have Fallon all for himself.

AUGUST 24 OLIVIA WILDENSTEIN is the byproduct of a meet-rude in a Parisian discotheque that turned into an epic love story spanning several decades. Naturally, this shaped the way she viewed romance. After meeting her own Prince Charming—in a Parisian discotheque of all places—she decided to put fingers to keyboard and craft love stories for a living. None of her characters have ever met in a Parisian nightclub… as of yet.

Margot Ortega always struggled to be the princess in her own fairytale: a successful career, a huge salary, a gorgeous apartment, and a perfect fiance. But on her wedding day, she suffers a major panic attack and has to call it off.

Devastated and ashamed, Margot decides to drown her sufferings in a mad night of alcohol and dancing. The next day, she goes back to the sleazy club to retrieve her sister’s cell phone, and has a crazy encounter with David Sánchez, the handsome, funloving bartender who persuades her to pretend to be his new girlfriend in order to make his ex jealous. David recognizes the sadness in her eyes, and together they conspire to help each other get their exes back.

What starts as a simple escape for fun and adventure becomes complicated and devastating when the depth of their feelings pulls the two lovers in different directions and forces them to make life-altering decisions.

Dark Restraint Katee Robert

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert brings the heat in this series of sizzling modern Greek myth retellings

•

Popular series with incredible praise: Neon Gods was an instant bestseller thanks to its viral popularity on TikTok, and Entertainment Weekly declared that, “[Robert’s] writing is unspeakably hot.”

•

Bestselling author: Katee Robert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with over a million copies sold

•

Phenomenal hook: Greek myths are fan favorites; this super-sexy, modern retelling will appeal to fans of both the webcomic Lore Olympus and Greek lore

Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She’s betrayed her father—and his benefactor—and now she’s left to rely on the questionable mercy of Olympus to keep her safe. As with everything in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there’s only one man she’s ever wanted—a man she’s feared just as much as she desires.

The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos’s plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word—at the end of this, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. Nowhere in that deal was her walking down the aisle to a different man. She’s meant for him, and he means to have her.

Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur. Her relationship with her new fiancé might be more friendship than burning passion, but she knows all too well how much fiery passion can hurt. She and the Minotaur are no good for each other. She can never forgive him for what he’s done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…

Every day is a battle, but when night comes, these two sworn enemies play out every fantasy she’s never allowed herself to admit to having. She can’t hide them from Jafar, though.

His Girl Hollywood Maureen Lee Lenker

The Gilded Age of Hollywood meets Christina Lauren in this rompy rom-com where an aspiring 1930s film director’s new leading man turns out to be her long-lost love, the man who abandoned her to pursue his career…and who’s hiding a dangerous secret that might tear them apart again just as they find their way back together •

High-profile author: Maureen Lee Lenker is an Entertainment Weekly reporter with a large social media platform and is beloved in the romance and entertainment community

Successful sub-genre: This is a fresh take on rom-coms, which continue to perform very well due in large part to the popularity they’re seeing across all media—movies, TV, internet—and the friends-to-lovers trope works great in this space

Arlene Morgan has always dreamed of being a movie director, like so many women in the silent era before her. But when Evets Studios finally gives her a shot, a rare thing in 1930s Hollywood, she’s dismayed to discover that her leading man is none other than Don Lamont. Born Don Lazzarini, Don was Arlene’s next-door-neighbor growing up, two best friends with two big dreams. He’s the only man she’s ever loved…except he abandoned her to pursue his dance career in New York, and she hasn’t seen or heard from his since.

But Don, despite his Broadway success, has been caught under the thumb of his gangster manager Frankie Martino for the last eight years, unable to come home. When he gets offered a role in a Hollywood picture, he leaps at the chance to free himself once and for all. But clashing with his director, the girl he once knew as Lena, leaves him scrambling to find his footing. As the two unpack old wounds and struggle to work together, Don starts to realize Lena might have been his dream girl all along. But she doesn’t know about Frankie, and getting her involved in his contract would put her in danger, too. It’s going to take quite the footwork to prove his feelings and help make Arlene’s picture a success before Frankie takes drastic measures to keep his most valuable leading man.

To distract the annoyingly persistent man—and give her sister a chance to track down their mother instead—Felicity heads west into the remote Rocky Mountains.

Turns out Nick has become LA’s latest vampire and she is his chosen Slayer…a decidedly unwelcome job that comes with an overnight super-bodybuilder-buff physique, the ability to conjure a sword made of fire, and a new gang of supernatural enemies out for her blood.

Caroline Wilton is “dying” to get off Starfall Point, but if she leaves the island, there’s a good chance she’ll literally die. For centuries, any Wilton who ventured off the island immediately perished in some freak accident. Caroline, like every Wilton before her, has accepted this curse and made peace with staying put and running the Wilted Rose Tavern. But thanks to her newfound magic and favorite coven of witches, Starfall Point has gotten a lot more exciting. And then there’s Ben… When gorgeous physician Ben Hoult—Caroline’s high school sweetheart who left without so much of a goodbye—returns to the island to take over the medical clinic with two frustratingly likable teenagers in tow, Caroline feels the calm waters of her life begin to churn. Practical, sensible Ben didn’t believe in her family curse then, and Caroline has no interest in trying to convince him now. Besides, Caroline has her hands full managing all of the ghosts she now has the special power to see—especially the angry woman in eighteenth-century garb occupying her tavern with a menacing glare.

As Caroline and her witches grow their magic, they soon discover the angry family ghost as one of the island’s most sinister legends—information that could be the key to breaking the Wilton curse and finding lasting true love with Ben.

Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.

Everly Kemper knows how to be brave—she’s had to be from the moment she rode her horse to the sheriff’s station to save the young girl her father had kidnapped to the day she came back to that same small town in hopes of atoning for all the damage he’d done.

She should’ve known that Hayes Easton would hate her. How could he not when it was her father who had nearly destroyed his family. Everly sees nothing but anguish and anger from the moment he arrives at her falling down cabin, that sheriff’s star shining so brightly on his uniform.

But Hayes is a good man, a noble one. Someone who channeled his pain into a career spent protecting those around him.

So, when the threats begin, he steps in to keep Everly safe. And they discover that maybe they never knew the other at all.

As the sparks between them ignite into something deeper, they discover that darkness still lurks around the edges of their town. And in it someone who will do anything to make Everly pay.

In an effort to hide their daughter’s secret shame, her parents send her away to a maternity home—a common solution for “wayward” girls during that time period. Lorraine soon realizes that instead of being a safe haven, the home forces unwed mothers to relinquish parental rights and place their babies for adoption. Lorraine must decide if she has the agency and power to fight to keep her baby or if she must submit to the rules of the society she once admired.

Transcends the WWII subgenre: While this is based on a true WWII story we haven’t heard before, the narrative features an older woman contending with loneliness and exclusion that will also appeal to general fiction readers

As she prepares to take her own life, fate offers her a new path.

Almost no one believes she can do it. She is a woman, unaccustomed to this form of danger. She is too old, too frail for such deadly work. But Britain is on the brink of losing the war, and so she is sent, as an experiment more than anything else, to train as a Special Operative Executive.

Four very different women have just lost the loves of their lives: Justine, a former fashion model adjusting to suburban life; Camille, a beautiful, young second wife some suspect is a gold digger; Krystle, committed to leaving the firm to her sons after her husband worked his whole life to support them all; and Meredith, a stripper at the local club who was in a secret relationship with the firm’s sole female partner. While the crash is initially ruled a tragic accident, something’s not adding up: The team wasn’t supposed to be in New York that day, and it’s soon revealed that there was a very large sum of cash that burned up with the plane. Could a dissatisfied client be seeking revenge? Or were the partners involved in something bigger—something dangerous and deadly? What other secrets were the partners keeping, and how far might people go to ensure they stay hidden? The women find themselves thrown together in search of the truth, with new danger and threats unfolding at every turn.

The Last Twelve Miles A Novel

Erika Robuck

Set in the Prohibition Rum Wars, two women masterminds try to outwit each other in a compelling game of ambition, envy and high stakes, from bestselling author Erika Robuck.

•

Fresh setting: Prohibition and the Rum Wars stand out from the heavily published WWII category while maintaining a high-tension conflict.

•

Real history: Elizebeth Smith Friedman’s true contributions to cryptanalysis and codebreaking add unusual insight and texture about the women of the rum era.

In the Prohibition Rum Wars, the Coast Guard is losing. Eleven million gallons of illegal liquor a year have created a booming smuggling economy. But the government has a new, secret weapon—a 5’2 mastermind in heels, wife, and mother: Mrs. Elizebeth Smith Friedman—one of the husband-and-wife pair who invented cryptanalysis itself.

On the other side of the law, when Marie Waite—wife of a rumrunner and mother of two little ones—notices discrepancies in cargo, she insists on accompanying her husband on a run to Nassau. There, not only does Marie witness her husband’s shortcomings, but she becomes enthralled by female smuggler, “The Bahama Queen,” who is departing from the business.

Marie knows an opportunity when she sees it, and she wants success and respect so badly she can taste it. So, despite the Bahama Queen’s warnings about the government’s “new man” who seems to know where smugglers are before they do, Marie plans to rise as rumrunner royalty just long enough to get her family in the black.

But, the more sophisticated her operation grows, the more she comes on the radar of the mastermind nabbing criminals by the daily dozen. Once Marie knows who she’s up against, she’s more determined than ever to triumph. Only one mother can rule Gulf Coast, and both Elizebeth and Marie will go to any lengths to win the crown for themselves.

Mae Townsend has always dreamed of her family in the South. With a long-ago rift estranging her late-father from his Black family in North Carolina, Mae grew up hearing stories of relatives that looked like her and of family traditions that Mae listened to with longing. Most notably, the annual Fourth of July barbecue, the epicenter of the Townsend family.

Years later, as Mae looks at her wedding seating chart, mentally calculating all the white faces that will be staring back at her as she prepares to marry her perfect, saltine-cracker of a fiancé, not knowing the Townsends hits her like a blow.

So when news arrives that her grandmother has died, she decides it’s time to finally explore her Black roots. With three weeks left until her wedding, Mae heads down South. What she finds is a family in turmoil, a long-standing rift still intact, a lost mac & cheese recipe causing grief, and a Townsend family barbecue on the brink of disaster. Not willing to let her dreams of family slip away, Mae steps up to save the day—mac & cheese recipe be damned—and throw a barbecue everyone will remember.

SHAUNA ROBINSON’s love of books led her to try a career in publishing before deciding she’d rather write books instead. Originally from San Diego, California, she now lives in Virginia with her husband and their sleepy greyhound. Robinson is an introvert at heart— she spends most of her time reading, baking, and figuring out the politest way to avoid social interaction.

The Secret War of Julia Child A Novel

Diana R. Chambers

Everything you thought you knew about Julia Child was wrong…

•

A new angle on historical fiction: A completely fresh twist on 1940s historical fiction, a time period overstuffed with European-set fiction, taking the reader to the forgotten front of WWII in Asia and dealing with themes of empire and colonialism

•

A lyrical story of a woman known around the world: Julia Child is a world phenomenon and an evergreen fascination, and though her name is instantly recognizable, her life outside the kitchen has never been explored in such a gripping and creative fashion.

•

Spy fiction at its finest: Uncovered histories of women are always a win in the women’s fiction space, and this fascinating peek into the workings of the OSS is perfect for readers of clandestine historical fiction who enjoy behind-the-scenes tales

Before she was Julia Child, the enigmatic chef that stole hearts, she was Julia McWilliams. Thirty years old and directionless, Julia took a job working for America’s first espionage agency, years before cooking or Paris entered the picture. The Secret War of Julia Child traces Julia’s transformation from ambitious but unfocused Pasadena socialite to Washington, DC file clerk, to head of General “Wild Bill” Donovan’s secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services.

The wartime journey takes her to the Far East, to Asia’s remote frontlines of Ceylon and India, where she finds purpose, adventure, self-knowledge – and love with mapmaker Paul Child. Not only do we see Julia’s origin story, but we see the “Forgotten War” of WWII in Asia, where themes of empire and colonialism enrich the story, and deepen Julia’s perceptions of international culture.

The spotlight has rarely shone on this fascinating period of time in the life of (“I’m not a spy”) Julia Child, and this lyrical story allows us to explore the unlikely world of a woman in World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she’ll eventually impart.

Poppy Fletcher is just another teenage statistic. Death by suicide. Drowning. Her mother left to wander through a maze of grief. But this is no ordinary mother. She is Peregrine, an AI walking the earth in a (nearly) human body, misunderstood, loathed, feared. A fugitive whose home is nowhere.

And this is no ordinary story of grief.

Because the feeling is so foreign to Peregrine, she turns to human obituaries to help her understand her own suffering. By piecing together a tapestry of human lives throughout history, Peregrine begins to unravel the truth of what actually happened to Poppy—and it takes her places she never could have imagined.

Through the miasma of grief, Peregrine finds a story of art and love and betrayal, greed and war, and redemption that spans several centuries, traverses our dying planet and beyond, and ultimately helps her understand her role in the world.

In a small bayou town in Louisiana, people fear God’s wrath and local superstitions – like the story of the Low Man, a vampiric figure who steals into sinners’ homes to kill them on moonless nights. The daughter of the town’s fire-and-brimstone preacher is not immune to the fear. But when a skull found deep in the swamp reunites her with a man with a dark reputation, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her town from evil: not the horrors rumored to dwell in the swamp, but the real evil that walks among them.

Midnight Is the Darkest Hour is a powerful and chilling examination of obsessive love, the way stories shape us, and what happens when the best choice we can make is to unleash our own dark beasts.

One woman’s trash is another woman’s—lost Chagall masterpiece?!?

•

Pure escapist pleasure to read: The author has again deftly woven actual events and celebrities of the day into a compelling mystery with a very human heart

Expat Zoe Barlow has settled well into her artist’s life among the Lost Generation in 1920s Paris. When a too-tipsy guest at her weekly poker game breaks Zoe’s favorite clock, she’s off to a Montparnasse flea market to bargain with the vendor Laurette for a replacement. What Zoe didn’t bargain for was the lost Chagall painting that’s been used like a rag to wrap her purchases! Eager to learn whether Laurette has more Chagalls lying about like trash, Zoe sets off to track her down at her storage shed. With no Laurette in sight, Zoe snoops around and indeed finds several additional Chagalls—and then she finds Laurette herself, dead beneath a scrap heap, her beautiful face bashed in.

With Paris hosting the 1924 Summer Olympics, the police are far too busy with touristrelated crimes to devote much time to the clock seller’s murder. After returning the paintings to a grateful Marc Chagall, Zoe begins her own investigation. Did the stolen paintings play any part in the brutal killing? Or was it a crime of passion? Zoe soon discovers that there were many people who had reason to resent the lovely Laurette. But who hated the girl enough to stop her clock permanently? When Zoe discovers a second murder victim, the pressure is on to find the killer before time—and luck—run out.

As the sole permanent residents of Cabin Two, their refuge on an isolated Tennessee campground, the twins manage to stay away from prying eyes, probing questions, and true crime junkies.

Until the FBI shows up at their front door looking for John, and Regan learns that her husband has been running a Ponzi scheme, is mixed up with dangerous criminals, and has been living under an assumed identity all these years.

Cattle rustling is big business in Texas, and it’s Tucker Snow’s job to stop it. But after a prominent rancher dies unexpectedly and his property is quietly sold to an unknown buyer, Tuck senses there’s something more sinister going on in his jurisdiction than the usual steal-and-resell racket.

Working alongside his brother, Harley, Tuck uncovers a dark ring of organized crime that goes well beyond cattle rustling… a breed of deception and greed that has turned into a silent killer that will take down anyone that crosses its path. The question is whether Tuck and Harley will be able to shut it down before it sets its sights on the people they love the most.

It’s a complicated, yet fulfilling life that requires complete and total control at all times. But when the evening news starts throwing around the word serial killer, suddenly pressure heightens for Cordelia in the South. And it’s only exacerbated when Diane starts dating a man who Cordelia isn’t sure is a good person. Someone who might just unravel everything Cordelia has worked for.

The 50/50 Solution The Surprisingly Simple Choice that Makes Moms, Dads, and Kids Happier and Healthier after a Split

Emma Johnson

The 50/50 Solution is a groundbreaking approach to custody arrangements that allows single moms to succeed while protecting dads’ rights—leading to happier, healthier kids!

•

Author platform: Emma Johnson is the creator of the online community Wealthy Single Mommy and writes for numerous publications about divorce, parenting, and custody issues

•

Captures a trending parenting movement: The 50/50 Solution highlights a trend that has been building momentum over the past decade—more and more families are opting for 50/50 custody but there are still plenty who have never considered it

When her marriage ended, like many (most) women, Emma Johnson signed on for the standard-issue divorce package.

She had primary custody of the kids, who spent a few evenings and weekends with their father. But she quickly learned that this classic arrangement left her with the kids 80% of the time, while also in charge of almost all her children’s meetings, appointments, and activities.

The reality is that this traditional arrangement has single mothers feeling utterly overwhelmed. But there IS a solution: a true 50/50 split. 50/50 parenting is already mandated in some states and studies support that children of divorced parents are happier and healthier when they divide their time equally between both parents. It’s better for the kids, and also it’s better for women, and for men. In short, everybody wins!

EMMA JOHNSON is an entrepreneur and creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community, the #1 top single mom blog in the world. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Real Simple, Forbes, Elle, Glamour, and more. She lives in Richmond, VA.

•

Fresh perspective: Nefertiti’s honest narrative voice and unflinching examination of her experience as a single African American adoptive mother brings a fresh perspective that hasn’t yet been shared in a commercial publication

All moms have to deal with choosing baby names, potty training, finding your village, and answering your kid’s tough questions, but if you are raising a Black child, you have to deal with a lot more than that. Especially if you’re a single Black mom, and adopting.

Nefertiti Austin shares her story of starting a family through adoption as a single Black woman. In this unflinching account of her parenting journey, Nefertiti examines the history of adoption in the African American community, faces off against stereotypes of single Black moms, and confronts the reality of what it looks like to raise children of color and answer their questions about racism in modern-day America.

My Death Diary A Guided Journal for Mortals

Anita Hannig

A guided self-care journal that helps you take time to reflect on your beliefs about death, grieve loved ones, and ultimately get more joy out of the life you’re lucky enough to live •

Unique self-care: A completely new concept in the guided journal space that focuses on engaging with the idea of death to ultimately bring more joy, peace, and gratitude into our daily lives

•

Expert author: Anita Hannig has taught a university-level course on death and dying and is the author of The Day I Die, an acclaimed narrative nonfiction book about medical assistance in dying in America

Contemplating death is scary. Most of us prefer not to dwell on the fact that our time here is limited. It feels unnerving to admit that this will all end. Though we spend our entire existence in the shadow of mortality, we like to imagine that we will live forever.

And yet, death is an integral and important part of life! Doing this work isn’t easy; it requires a great deal of courage, commitment, and reflection. But it is worth it, and not only because it makes the prospect of death less daunting. In fact, the benefits of making friends with your eventual death are incalculable. Because nothing brings you more immediately into the present than the realization that life is finite, and that inspires us to live more fully.

ANITA HANNIG is an applied anthropologist whose work explores the cultural dimensions of medicine. In recent years, Hannig has emerged as a leading voice on death literacy in America, giving interviews for the Washington Post, USA Today, and the Boston Globe.

How to Train Your Dog with Love + Science A Dog Lover’s Guide to Animal Behavior and Positive Reinforcement Training

Annie Grossman

Ever wish your dog could talk? You need to learn their language! From the co-founder of the School For The Dogs, this essential training guide teaches you all about animal behavior and learning to improve two-way communication between owners and their dogs •

Speaking the dog’s language: Very few books speak to the importance of two-way communication between dogs and their owners as well as building a strong relationship with your dog and the role that plays in training

•

Backed by science: The dog training techniques outlined in this book use behavioral science to not only teach the how but the why, to make learning more effective

One of the only dog training books on the market to teach two-way communication between dogs and owners, this book offers a science-based approach to positive reinforcement dog training. Focusing on the “why”, as much as the “how” informs readers that communication between a dog and their owner is a two way street. Mastering this ultimately fortifies an owner’s relationship with their dog and makes for a more meaningful bond.

Author Annie Grossman is co-founder of School For The Dogs, a training center in the East Village in New York, that has a stellar reputation for its classes and private lessons to over 4,000 dog owners in New York City, and to tens of thousands of clients all over the globe thanks to its virtual offerings. Celebrity clients include the pampered pooches of Amy Schumer, Olivia Wilde, and Jim Gaffigan.

A Tale of Two Titties A Writer’s Guide to Conquering the Most Sexist Tropes in Literary History

Meg Vondriska

The breast-kept secret male authors never wanted you to know…

•

A social media darling with a wide and varied audience: The author runs the hilarious @ MenWriteWomen X, formerly known as Twitter, account, which boasts more than 70k followers, including Seth Rogen and Lin-Manuel Miranda

•

Feminist commentary at its hilarious best: More than man-bashing, the author’s feminist take on men writing women is empowering, incredibly relevant for today’s issues, and laugh-out-loud funny

Let’s face it, women’s representation in literature really sucks. And that’s mostly because of the male authors who write female characters like they’re nothing more than playthings in their stories. Whether they have breasts like ripe peaches or curves like a racetrack, the literary ladies gracing the pages of bestselling books rarely serve a purpose beyond supporting a male character (or giving him something to fantasize about).

But what are you supposed to do about it if you can’t even get a foot (or a boob) in the door?

You beat them at their own game.

In this hilarious yet incisive guide, you’ll learn how to write women just like a bestselling male author—stereotypes, tropes, objectification, and all—so you can start dismantling the system from the inside. With thoughtful literary analysis, interactive exercises, and commentary that perfectly straddles the line between satirical hilarity and righteous indignation, A Tale of Two Titties is both an illuminating study of women’s representation in literature and an absurd (yet accurate) guide to writing through the male gaze.

MEGHAN VONDRISKA graduated from Northland College, where she received a degree that does not pertain at all to what she does in real life.

Wanted: Toddler’s Personal Assistant How Nannying for the 1% Taught Me about the Myths of Equality, Motherhood, and Upward Mobility in America

Stephanie Kiser Saddled with crushing student debt, Steph Kiser jumps head-first into the lucrative but unglamorous and exhausting world of nannying for New York City’s richest families, immersing herself in a world in stark contrast to her own impoverished childhood, in this emotional and insightful new memoir

•

A millennial take in the memoir space: A fresh and fascinating millennial take on the behind-the-scenes career memoir genre, for readers of Maid and Primates of Park Avenue, sure to attract a wide audience

•

A trending topic: “Nannytok” has over 160M views, and the intrigue of what working for the uber rich is like is rampant on the internet

•

A highly accessible and commercial read: This books has the bingeable, can’t-look-away propulsion that is reminiscent of today’s most popular fiction titles

After a dysfunctional childhood as one of four kids born to teenage parents and raised “white trash” in poor Rhode Island, Stephanie Kiser finds herself a 22-year-old firstgeneration college grad drowning in student loan debt. To stay afloat, she surrenders her career-track PR job for a position as nanny to New York City’s toddler elite.

The span of seven years takes Stephanie on a journey from working alongside a stayat-home mom in her ten-million dollar Park Ave apartment, to a “no discipline” family, to the Kushner’s, world-class doctors, and finally, to a position with a young couple, both high-powered lawyers, with three small kids.

Interwoven with Stephanie’s time in the glamourous world of the 1% (in the unglamourous role of domestic help) is the narrative of her own upbringing, the contrasts illuminating both the effects of privilege and the grit of self-sufficiency.

Life Lessons from a Parasite What Tapeworms, Flukes, Lice, and Roundworms Can Teach Us About Humanity’s Most Difficult Problems

John Janovy Jr. PhD

An exploration of the most common life form on Earth— parasites—and how they provide insight into humanity’s most difficult problems

•

Exciting addition to the pop-science shelf: The natural sciences, “weird” science, and pop-science are ever popular with readers, and this dives into a little explored, fascinating topic

•

A little idea within the big picture: This project takes a tiny topic—parasites—to hook the reader and uses it to illuminate life’s biggest questions, in the vein of Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life (but mission driven!)

•

Timely topics viewed through a new lens: Life Lessons touches on ever-relevant, hot button issues like global pandemics, misinformation, and nationalism, using examples learned from the world of parasites to provide possible solutions

In this unique piece of pop-science, one of the world’s preeminent experts on parasites reveals their astonishing, disgusting, weird, and fascinating behaviors and how they provide insight into humanity’s most difficult problems.

Squeamishness aside, what can humans learn from the most reviled yet misunderstood animals on Earth: lice, tapeworms, and maggots that can eat a lizard from the inside?

And how can these lessons help us negotiate a world characterized by pandemic disease, ethnic hatred, climate change, war, and internet-driven political chaos?

Whether we’re learning to adapt to adverse conditions, accept our own limitations, or process new information in a frightening landscape—we can be sure a parasite did it first. Because sometimes, the answers to life’s biggest questions can be found by looking at the little things.

Once upon a time, Black Republicans were revolutionaries. Today, many see them as traitors, selling their souls for power. In 2021, Black conservatives are the greatest grift.

Journalist and radio host Clay Cane examines how the Republican party evolved into a safe space for racists and how Black Republicans attempt to gain power by aligning themselves with white supremacy. Black Republicans consistently make viral news, whether it’s Senator Tim Scott, 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson, or radical conservative commentator Candace Owens, who proudly upholds white supremacy to gain power.

The Deaf Girl A Memoir of Hearing Loss, Hope, and Fighting Against the Odds

Abigail Heringer

An inspiring memoir of disability, fame, and identity

As a fan-favorite contestant on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, Abigail’s story will appeal to all members of #BachelorNation

•

The author has a significant platform with 772k followers on Instagram and 127.4k followers on TikTok

•

A powerful and empowering memoir of disability, shining a new light on the deaf experience and cochlear implants

Abigail Heringer made her television debut as an instant fan-favorite on ABC’s The Bachelor. Stepping out of the luxurious limo, she confidently approached her bachelor and let him know that she’d be staring at his lips all night for two reasons: (1) she was born deaf and (2) he has some nice-looking lips.

But Abigail’s life didn’t start out with this level of self-assured energy. In fact, it started with barely any at all. As a deaf child and natural introvert, Abigail was terrified of the spotlight—always afraid of how people would react to her disability and how her presence would inconvenience others. But with the support of her family (especially her deaf older sister), she learned that the world would walk all over her if she let it. Only through becoming her fiercest advocate and loudest champion could she ever learn to find her own voice.

Vote With Your Phone Why Mobile Voting Is Our Final Shot at Saving Democracy

Bradley Tusk From Bradley Tusk, prominent philanthropist and creator of the Mobile Voting movement, comes an urgent and timely analysis of our broken democracy and the revolutionary way we can fix it: voting from our phones.

•

An author with reach: Bradley Tusk of Tusk philanthropies, is an incredibly prominent public figure with a wide-reaching voice, and this book will be a companion to his grassroots Mobile Voting campaign.

•

Timely topic for the 2024 election: This call to action is just in time for the sure-to-be heated 2024 election, when voters will be thinking about the type of change they wish to see in this world.

•

Tech debates: With more discourse surrounding technology and its uses, the idea of mobile voting and its impact on voter turnout and representation is sure to appeal to those curious about our technological world.

The way we vote is broken.

Poll after poll reveals that most Americans agree on major issues—gun control, climate change, healthcare—but low voter turnout keeps our elected officials on the far ends of the political spectrum and unable to compromise. Every policy output is the result of political input, and our inputs are not representative. Our voting system is heavily influenced by special interests among politicians who worry about their next elections and little else.

The technology exists to fix this problem by drastically increasing voter turnout: mobile voting.

We do just about everything on our phones, but we can’t use them to vote. But since 2018, mobile voting pilots and audits have taken place in 21 elections and 7 states. This technology has the ability to exponentially increase voter turnout and restore faith in the promise of a representative democracy where compromise and bipartisanship are possible. This book introduces the history, opposition, and potential of mobile voting to generate grassroot support and encourage us to seize the solution we already have.

This book and a telescope are all you need to find, view, and record your observations of the 110 most popular stargazing targets. Over 200 years ago, French comet hunter Charles Messier published a list of comet-like objects he saw through his telescope.

While he dismissed them as a nuisance, we now know them as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies! As some of the finest celestial sights to explore with your backyard telescope, these objects are especially perfect for those looking to move beyond the Moon and planets.

Finding the 110 Messier (pronounced Messy-ay) objects has never been easier! We provide a star map for each target—plus written directions for how to find it by starhopping, an “eyepiece view” image to confirm you’re seeing it, observing tips from two veteran stargazers, and interesting facts. We also highlight additional nearby objects.

These objects are presented in their recommended viewing order—either by season, or during an all-night marathon. Each page contains an observation log so you can track your progress. Whether you’re a veteran stargazer or a budding astronomer, this book is your best guide to seeing each deep-sky object in Messier’s list!

Rebecca Little and Colleen Long are journalists and childhood friends who both experienced pregnancy losses past 20 weeks. In the days, weeks, and months that followed, they searched desperately for information to help them process what they had been through. But they found nothing.

So, Rebecca and Colleen began to research. Diving deep into the history, culture, and science around pregnancy loss, they discovered that the helplessness and loneliness they felt was not a coincidence. Over the past several decades, American culture has been placing more and more emphasis on the rights and life of the fetus—at the cost and well-being of the mother. Politics, history, racism, misogyny, capitalism, and medicine have been working separately and together to choke off grief related to pregnancy loss.
