The Big Fear
Andrew Case
Read by Peter Berkrot
Civilian investigator Leonard Mitchell can keep his job as the new head of the
Department to Investigate Misconduct and Corruption only by successfully
prosecuting veteran cop Ralph Mulino.
Mulino shot an armed man on a dark night; he didn’t know the man was a
fellow cop. Now, to keep his badge and his freedom, he has to make his case
to the investigator. But the gun Mulino saw in his victim’s hand has
disappeared.
As Mitchell digs deeper into Mulino’s claim, it becomes clear that the
“misconduct and corruption” infecting New York City go far beyond the
actions of one allegedly dirty cop. Murder and sabotage force Mulino and
Mitchell into an uneasy partnership to uncover the truth and protect the city
they are both sworn to serve. Assuming, of course, they can stay alive…
In the Light of What We See
Sarah Painter
Read by Fiona Hardingham
Brighton, 1938: Grace Kemp is pushed away by the family she has shamed.
Rejected and afraid, she begins a new life as a nurse. But danger stalks the
hospital too, and she’ll need to be on her guard to avoid falling into familiar
traps. And then there are the things she sees.… Strange portents that have a
way of becoming real.
Eighty years later, Mina Morgan is brought to the same hospital after a
near-fatal car crash. She is in terrible pain but recalls nothing. She’s not even
sure whom to trust. Mina too sees things that others cannot, but now, in
hospital, her visions are clearer than ever.…
Two women, separated by decades, are drawn together by a shared space
and a common need to salvage their lives.
The Light of Fireflies
Paul Pen, translated by Simon Bruni
Read by Scott Merriman
For his whole life, the boy has lived underground, in a basement with his
parents, grandmother, sister, and brother. Before he was born, his family was
disfigured by a fire. His sister wears a white mask to cover her burns.
He spends his hours with his cactus, reading his book on insects, or
touching the one ray of sunlight that filters in through a crack in the ceiling.
Ever since his sister had a baby, everyone’s been acting very strangely. The
boy begins to wonder why they never say who the father is, about what
happened before his own birth, about why they’re shut away.

Man, Interrupted
Why Young Men are Struggling & What We Can Do About It
Philip Zimbardo & Nikita Coulombe
Read by David deVries
In 2011, Philip Zimbardo gave a TED Talk called "The Demise of Guys," which
has been viewed by over 1.8 million people. A TED eBook short followed that
chronicled how in record numbers men are flaming out academically and
failing socially and sexually with women. This new book is an expansion of
that brief polemic based on Zimbardo's observations, research, and the
survey that was completed by over 20,000 viewers of the original TED Talk.
The premise here is that we are facing a not-so-brave new world; a world
in which young men are getting left behind. Philip Zimbardo and Nikita
Coulombe say that an addiction to video games and online porn have created
a generation of shy, socially awkward, emotionally removed, and risk-adverse
young men who are unable (and unwilling) to navigate the complexities and
risks inherent to real-life relationships, school, and employment. Taking a
critical look at a problem that is tearing at families and societies everywhere,
Man, Interrupted suggests that our young men are suffering from a new form
of "arousal addiction," and introduce a bold new plan for getting them back
on track.
Orchids and Stone
Lisa Preston
Read by Cris Dukehart
Daphne Mayfield sought a moment of quiet in a park—a break from city life,
a tense relationship, and chronic overwork—but then an elderly woman
makes a desperate plea. Daphne is reluctant to get involved when she’s not
sure what’s happening, but she wants to help the stranger. Is the rambling
old lady the victim of a crime or a victim of dementia?
As her unease grows, Daphne can’t let go of the encounter. No matter
what her boyfriend or her friends say. No matter what the retired homicide
detective warns. Though she knows she’s meddling in other people’s lives,
her instincts scream that the danger is real.
With each increasingly bold intervention, Daphne involves herself in
someone else’s crisis until she’s in too deep to turn back. She’s not just
fighting for a stranger’s life…she’s fighting for her own.

“Welcome home,” only deepening the mystery?
In this second adventure, Spencer’s new-school jitters, an unexpected
bonding with a teacher over Mozart, and turf-claiming kids next door with a
reason for acting out are all part of Cody’s experiences as summer shifts into
a new year at school.

To Freya Kiley and the other local kids, the Jensons are a family from a

Heart of a Lion
A Lone Cat's Walk Across America
William Stolzenburg
Late one June night in 2011, a large animal collided with an SUV cruising
down a Connecticut parkway. The creature appeared as something out of
New England’s forgotten past. Beside the road lay a 140-pound mountain
lion. Speculations ran wild, the wildest of which figured him a ghostly survivor
from a bygone century when lions last roamed the eastern United States. But
a more fantastic scenario of facts soon unfolded. The lion was three years old,
with a DNA trail embarking from the Black Hills of South Dakota on a crosscountry odyssey eventually passing within thirty miles of New York City. It
was the farthest land-bound trek ever recorded for a wild animal in America,
by a barely weaned teenager venturing solo through hostile terrain.
William Stolzenburg retraces his two-year journey—from his embattled
birthplace in the Black Hills, across the Great Plains and the Mississippi River,
through Midwest metropolises and remote northern forests, to his tragic
finale upon Connecticut’s Gold Coast. Along the way, the lion traverses lands
with people gunning for his kind, as well as those championing his cause.
Heart of a Lion is a story of one heroic creature pitting instinct against
towering odds, coming home to a society deeply divided over his return. It is
a testament to the resilience of nature, and a test of humanity’s willingness
to live again beside the ultimate symbol of wildness.

Camille Griep
In the wake of a devastating plague, two communities emerge as bastions of
survival. One is called the City, and its people scrabble for scraps in the
wasteland. The other, New Charity, enjoys the bounty of its hydroelectric

City-dweller Cressyda inherits her father’s ranch within New Charity, she
becomes intent on opening the dam to all—no matter the cost.
But when Syd reunites with her old best friend, Casandra, a born seer and
religious acolyte, she realizes that her plans could destroy the fragile lives
they’ve built in order to survive. What’s more, the strange magic securing the
dam’s operations could prove deadly if disturbed. Yet when Syd discovers
evidence that her father might have been murdered, she is more determined
than ever to exact revenge on New Charity’s corrupt.
Pitted against Cas, as well as her own family, Syd must decide how to

The Vow
Felicity Goodrich
Read by Carly Robins
It happens in the chill of a September night, 1939: Their small Polish village is
raided, burned to the ground. Anna, a devoutly Catholic teenager, watches as
her friend is shot, as her father is dragged off for conscription in the German
army.
Szymon, the young village priest, stands silently with his parishioners as
their church is ransacked and torched. Anna clings to him—her dear friend
and confidant—and by some luck, the Germans spare them.
Five Septembers later, Anna and Szymon still cling together, now amid the
turmoil of war. Though Anna dreads her engagement to a local ruffian and
Szymon fears for his father’s life back home, the two find solace in their
friendship.
But when the Soviet army comes to “liberate” them, Anna endures an
unspeakable atrocity and Szymon suffers his own tragedy. Now bound even
more tightly by the sorrows they carry, they face a choice: honor the vows
they’ve made to others or risk everything for the chance at salvation in each
other.

Winning Well
A Manager's Guide to Getting Results - Without Losing Your Soul
Karin Hurt & David Dye
Read by Christopher Lane
It can feel like a rigged game. Executives set impossible goals, so managers
drive their teams to burnout trying to deliver. Employees demand connection
and support, so managers focus on relationships and fail to make the
numbers. The fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement, and not just
among team members—two-thirds of managers report being disengaged.
To succeed, managers need balance: they must push people to achieve
while creating an environment that makes them truly want to. Winning Well
offers a quick, practical action plan—complete with examples, stories, online
assessments, and more—for getting the results you need. Managers learn
how to:
• Stamp out the corrosive win-at-all-costs mentality
• Focus on the game, not just the score
• Reinforce behaviors that produce results
• Set clear expectations—delegating outcomes rather than focusing on
process
• Celebrate even small successes
• Correct poor performance using the INSPIRE accountability method
• Demonstrate confidence and humility
• Energize teams to sustain excellent performance
• And more
Algorithms to Live By
The Computer Science of Human Decisions
Brian Christian & Tom Griffiths
All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to
a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or
a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new
activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like
uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same
constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of
such problems for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to
teach us.
In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and
cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the simple, precise algorithms
used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain
how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal

discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes
than most people imagine. In Success and Luck, bestselling author and New
York Times economics columnist Robert Frank explores the surprising
implications of those findings to show why the rich underestimate the
importance of luck in success—and why that hurts everyone, even the
wealthy.
Frank describes how, in a world increasingly dominated by winner-take-all
markets, chance opportunities and trivial initial advantages often translate
into much larger ones—and enormous income differences—over time; how
false beliefs about luck persist, despite compelling evidence against them;
and how myths about personal success and luck shape individual and political
choices in harmful ways.
But, Frank argues, we could decrease the inequality driven by sheer luck by
adopting simple, unintrusive policies that would free up trillions of dollars
each year—more than enough to fix our crumbling infrastructure, expand
healthcare coverage, fight global warming, and reduce poverty, all without
requiring painful sacrifices from anyone. If this sounds implausible, you'll be
surprised to discover that the solution requires only a few, uncontroversial
steps.

back his self-respect.

Wait for her. For the honeysuckle girl. She’ll find you, I think, but if she
doesn’t, you find her.
Adrift ever since, Althea is now fresh out of rehab and returning to her

The Palms. Ever since she and her family moved in, she's felt like an outsider

she's determined to make it work—if not for herself, then for her husband,
Phil, who landed them this lavish home in the first place, and for her
daughter, Danielle, who's about to enter high school.
Yet underneath the glossy veneer of The Palms, life is far from idyllic. In a
place where reputation is everything, Liz soon discovers that even the
friendliest residents can't be trusted—and almost everyone has secrets they'd
do anything to protect. So when the gorgeous girl next door befriends
Danielle, Liz can't help but find sophisticated Kelsey's interest in her shy and
slightly nerdy daughter a bit suspicious.
But while Kelsey quickly becomes a fixture in the McGinnis home, Liz's
relationships with both Danielle and Phil grow strained. Now even her own
family seems to be hiding things, and it's not long before their dream of living
the high life quickly spirals out of control.…

The Most Important Thing
Stories About Sons, Fathers, and Grandfathers
Avi
Read by Todd Haberkorn
Luke sees the ghost of his father but can’t figure out what Dad wants him to
do. Paul takes a camping trip with the grandfather he’s just met and discovers
what lies behind the man’s erratic behavior. Ryan has some surprising
questions when he interviews his prospective stepfather for the job.
In a compellingly honest collection of stories, multiple-award-winning
author Avi introduces seven boys—boys with fathers at home and boys
whose fathers have left, boys who spend most of their time with their
grandfathers and boys who would rather spend time with anyone but the
men in their lives. By turns heartbreaking, hopeful, and funny, the stories
show us boys seeking acceptance, guidance, or just someone to look up to.
Each one shines a different light on the question “What is the most important
thing a father can do for his son?”

Red Knight Falling
A Harmony Black Novel
Craig Schaefer
FBI agent Harmony Black and her team, Vigilant Lock, face a new type of
threat: one from beyond the stars.
They’d always heard the Red Knight was an urban legend: in 1954, three
years before Sputnik launched, a mysterious satellite was sighted circling
Earth, though no power on the planet had such technology.
But the Red Knight is real, and what’s more, it’s inextricably linked to a
supernatural force no one yet understands. Like a moth to a flame, this dark
presence collides annually with the airborne satellite. Except this year the Red
Knight is on course to crash-land…in Oregon.
Vigilant Lock sets out to find the crash site and secure the remnants before
the mysterious power is drawn to Earth. But they soon discover the mission is
far from straightforward—and they aren’t the only ones tracking the Red
Knight. To stop a deadly occult threat, Harmony and her team must use all
their resources: technology and sorcery, science and magic. Fortunately,
Harmony has only begun to discover her growing power.
Something More Than This
Barbie Bohrman
Katy Lewis has it all: a sports reporting job she loves, a great roommate, and
two brothers who, while nosy, always have her back. But when Conner
Roberts, Katy’s unrequited first crush, suddenly shows up—and shows
interest—after nine years, she reverts to a sweaty, panicked sixteen-year-old
once more.
And if trying to read Conner’s signals isn’t tough enough, Katy’s heart is
sending some mixed messages of its own. When a beautiful blonde coworker
starts pursuing Katy’s boss, Dylan Sterling—her longtime mentor and friend—
she realizes she may have a problem with that. A reunion with Conner is what
she’s dreamed of for so long…so why can’t she stop thinking about Dylan?
For the first time ever, Katy must fact-check her heart. Should she go after
the guy she thought she always wanted or see if there’s something more with
the one who’s been there all along?

But they also find a place in turmoil, for the ruthless sun king, Solon, is

Now Solon’s gaze turns to Chloe’s homeland, Phalesia, and its famous

Solon has no fear of foreigners’ legends or even their armies. And he isn’t
afraid of the eldren, an ancient race of shape-shifters, long ago driven into
the Wilds. For when he gets the gold, Solon knows he will live forever.

In the fourteenth century, opportunities for women are limited to the home.
But spirited young Madlen finds her calling as assistant to the city’s trusted
midwife, Clara. Working alongside Clara, Madlen develops a surprisingly
soothing technique and quickly becomes a talented healer.
After Clara’s tragic death, Madlen alone rushes to assist the birth of a local

accusation of murder and witchcraft because of her extraordinary gifts.
Forced to flee her own town, she establishes a new identity in the home of
her aunt. Yet even though it endangers her life, she cannot resist the urge to
help the sick patients who seek out her miraculous treatment. When she
meets handsome Johannes—an investigator hired by the Church to bring her
to justice for sacrilegious acts—she becomes drawn to the very man that
could destroy her.
Will Madlen’s gifts bring about her downfall? Or can love and reason
prevail in a time of fearful superstition?

their home.

defenses like no one had ever managed. She was his to protect and
ultimately, to do that, he had to do the unthinkable and drive the only good

hands. And he must convince her of just how far he’ll go to regain her love

Makenna Wray has dedicated her life to finding homes for its residents. And
when she discovers that a teen in her care is related to Ryan Conner, the
broody, handsome-as-sin enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, she’s eager to help

Although there is no mating bond, he’s sure she’s the one. All he has to do is
be patient and wait. But when another pack’s sinister Alpha comes sniffing
around, threatening Makenna and her shelter, this enforcer is ready to let his

The Skipper's Dog's Called Stalin
A Happy Gilmour Novel

Spring, 1941. France has fallen but the Free French naval forces are in no
mood to surrender. Royal Navy Sub-Lieutenant Harry Gilmour is also ready
for action, despite the horrors of his first taste of submarine warfare.
When he is appointed as British Navy Liaison Officer aboard the Free French

Within its claustrophobic confines, suspicion and misunderstanding are rife.
So when Radegonde is sent on a mission to Martinique, it’s vital that these
proud men learn to work together, especially as it seems everyone from
Churchill to de Gaulle—not to mention Hitler—has a stake in the outcome.
Will Harry be able to navigate these dangerous waters safely and return with
hard-won wisdom, or will old enemies arise to sink him?
TED Talks
The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking
Chris Anderson
Amid today’s proliferating channels of instant communication, one singular
skill has emerged as the most essential way to communicate: a brief,
polished, live-audience video talk. Since taking over TED in the early 2000s,
Chris Anderson has tapped the world’s most brilliant individuals to share their
expertise.
Anderson discovered early on that the key to getting an audience to sit up
and pay attention is to condense a presentation into 18 minutes or less, and
to heighten its impact with a powerful narrative. In other words, to tell a
terrific story.
TED Talks is chock full of personal presentation suggestions from such TED
notables as Sir Ken Robinson, Mary Roach, Amy Cuddy, Bill Gates, Elizabeth
Gilbert, Dan Gilbert, Matt Ridley, and dozens more—everything from how to
distill your speech’s content to what you should wear on stage. This is a lively,
fun read with great practical application from the man who knows what goes
into a great speech.

Blockchain Revolution
How the Technology Behind Bitcoin Is Changing Money, Business,
and the World
Don Tapscott & Alex Tapscott
Over 30 years, no theorist of the digital age has better explained the next big
thing than Don Tapscott. For example, in Wikinomics Tapscott was the first to
show how the Internet provides the first global platform for mass
collaboration. Now, he writes about a profound technological shift that will
change how the world does business—and everything else—using blockchain
technology, which powers the digital currency Bitcoin.
The Internet as we know it is great for collaboration and communication,
but is deeply flawed when it comes to commerce and privacy. The new
blockchain technology facilitates peer-to-peer transactions without any
intermediary such as a bank or governing body. Keeping the user's
information anonymous, the blockchain validates and keeps a permanent
public record of all transactions. That means that your personal information is
private and secure, while all activity is transparent and incorruptible—
reconciled by mass collaboration and stored in code on a digital ledger. With
its advent, we will not need to trust each other in the traditional sense,
because trust is built into the system itself.
Although many opportunities for the blockchain require a digital currency,
Bitcoin is only one application of this great innovation in computer science.
The blockchain can hold any legal document, from deeds and marriage
licenses to educational degrees and birth certificates. Call it the World Wide
Ledger. It enables smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations,

decentralized government services, and transactions among other things. The
Internet of Everything needs a Ledger of Everything: the blockchain is a truly
open, distributed, global platform that fundamentally changes what we can
do online, how we do it, and who can participate.

First Offense
Marti Green
Twelve-year-old Frankie Bishop is a model kid: quiet and bright. So everyone,
especially his family, is shocked when he’s arrested for drug possession—and
horrified when he’s sentenced to juvenile detention at Eldridge Academy. His
uncle, Bruce Kantor of the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to help but
knows he’s too close to the case.
His associate Dani Trumball has family worries of her own to deal with, but
she knows Bruce wouldn’t ask for help without cause. Just as she and her
team begin to investigate, the case gets even thornier: Frankie is missing, and
evidence points to an Eldridge cover-up.
As the FBI launches a hunt for the boy, Dani knows something isn’t right.
Why would a minor’s first offense earn such a harsh punishment?
Unconvinced by the court documents, Dani is dogged in her pursuit of the
truth that will save Frankie’s future—if he still has one.
Home Game
Three Generations of Big-League Stories from Baseball's First Family
Bret Boone & Kevin Cook
Bret Boone made history in 1992 as the first third-generation major leaguer in
baseball history. A five-foot-ten firecracker who was spurned by scouts for his
small size, supposed lack of power, and temper tantrums (one scout called
him a “helmet-throwing terror”), Bret didn’t care about family legacy; he
wanted to make his own way. He did just that, building a 14-year career that
included three all-star appearances, four Gold Gloves, a bout with alcoholism,
and the ignominy of being traded for the infamous “player to be named
later.” Now that he’s coaching minor leaguers half his age, and his 15-yearold son has the potential to be a fourth-generation major leaguer, Bret is
ready to reflect on and tell the story of baseball from the perspective of his
family’s 70-year history in the sport.
Combining the brashness and candor of Ball Four with a dollop of Big Russ
and Me sentiment, this book will trace the evolution of the game—on the
field and behind the scenes—from Ray Boone’s era in the 1950s to Bret and
Aaron’s era in the 90s and 2000s, when players made millions, dined on
lobster in the clubhouse, injected themselves with PEDs, and had their choice
of “Annies”—female clingers-on, or as today’s players call them, “road beef.”
Along the way, the book will touch on pieces of Boone family lore,
including Bret hitting zero dingers in a home run derby and Aaron’s home run
(if you don’t know what this is referring to, then consult the nearest Red Sox
fan). Blending nostalgia, behind-the-scenes profanity, close analysis of the
game that only players can offer, and insight into baseball’s ongoing
evolution as a sport and a business, Bret Boone will offer a one-of-a-kind look
at America’s favorite pastime from a family who has seen it all.

A Little Book About the Awesome Power of Recognition
David Novak & Christa Bourg
Based on real experiences that David Novak had as the Chairman and CEO of
Yum! Brands, this parable will empower readers to recognize the
contributions of those around them in order to drive bigger and better
results. It’s not hard, it’s not expensive, and you don’t need an MBA or even a
position of authority to do it. It’s a deceptively simple principle that can have
a huge impact on both your life and your business.
Jeff Johnson, the new CEO of The Happy Face Toy Company, has one year
to save his family’s famous toy company, which has fallen on hard times
following the death of his father. If Jeff fails, the whole company will fail. As
he races to save his family’s legacy by getting the company back on track, Jeff
encounters downtrodden factory workers and an uninspired executive team.
Then a birthday gift from his grandson gives Jeff an important insight into
why business is suffering: the secret ingredient to making people happy and
engaged is missing.
During his time as CEO of Yum!, Novak harnessed the power of employee
recognition to revitalize the culture. The principles he lives by, from handing
out personalized awards to coaxing office culture into life, are at the core of
this parable. Novak recently founded OGO Enterprises, the world’s first
recognition brand focused on appreciating all people for who they are and
what they do.

In their new city of Philadelphia, Lila’s husband, Sam, takes his job as a
restaurant critic a little too seriously. To protect his professional credibility,
he’s determined to remain anonymous. Soon his preoccupation with
anonymity takes over their lives as he tries to limit the family’s contact with
anyone who might have ties to the foodie world. Meanwhile, Lila craves adult
conversation and some relief from the constraints of her homemaker role.
With her patience wearing thin, she begins to question everything: her
decision to get pregnant again, her break from her career, her marriage—
even if leaving her ex-boyfriend was the right thing to do. As Sam becomes
more and more fixated on keeping his identity secret, Lila begins to wonder if
her own identity has completely disappeared—and what it will take to get it
back.

The Shark and the Albatross
Travels with a Camera to the Ends of the Earth
John Aitchison
For 20 years John Aitchison has been travelling the world to film wildlife for
the BBC and other broadcasters, taking him to faraway places on every
continent.
The Shark and the Albatross is the story of these journeys of discovery, of his
encounters with animals and occasional enterprising individuals in remote
and sometimes dangerous places.
His destinations include the far north and the far south, expeditions to film
for Frozen Planet and other natural history series, in Svalbard, Alaska, the
remote Atlantic island of South Georgia, and the Antarctic. They also
encompass wild places in India, China, and the United States.
In all he finds and describes key moments in the lives of animals, among
them polar bears and penguins, seals and whales, sharks and birds, and
wolves and lynxes. He reveals what happens behind the scenes and beyond
the camera. He explains the practicalities and challenges of the filming
process, and the problems of survival in perilous places. He records touching
moments and dramatic incidents, some ending in success, others desperately
sad.
There are times when a hunted animal triumphs against the odds and
others when, in spite of preparation for every outcome, disaster strikes. And,
as the author shows in several incidents that combine nail-biting tension with
hair-raising hilarity, disaster can strike for filmmakers too.
When the Pressure's On
The Secret to Winning When You Can't Afford to Lose
Louis S. Csoka, Ph.D.
At the highest level of any pursuit, the difference between the two top
performers in a contest is always mental. One holds it together—while the
other falls apart. The same is true in business. Whether you are confronting a
crisis, making a pitch, negotiating a deal, or facing a deadline, your mindset
can give you the edge.
When the Pressure’s On brings peak performance principles to the
boardroom, revealing five core mental skills that enable professionals to excel
while under duress:
• Goal Setting—become mission-driven
• Adaptive Thinking—replace negative thoughts with positive ones
• Stress/Energy Management—keep your cool no matter what
• Attention Control—maintain focus despite distractions
• Imagery—see success before it happens.
Together, the skills form the core of this complete brain-training program,
packed with guidelines, examples, exercises, assessments, and the latest
advances in biofeedback and neuroscience.

Fractured State
Steven Konkoly
In 2035, the southwestern United States is ravaged by drought, reeling from
an environmental catastrophe that has left the landscape a chaotic, depleted
ruin. California, still viably inhabitable due to its oppressive social controls,
marshals state-of-the-art surveillance technology and totalitarian policies to
preserve its fragile hold on rapidly dwindling resources and an increasingly
unsettled population.
After a prominent California congresswoman is assassinated for her
support of the state’s secession from the United States, Nathan Fisher—
accidental witness to a clandestine military-style operation—is drawn into an
unraveling conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power and threatens
the lives of Fisher and his family.
Hunted by ruthless killers seeking to ensure his silence, suspected by the
authorities, and aided only by a loyal Marine officer with a mysterious
agenda, Fisher and his loved ones must somehow stay a step ahead of their
relentless pursuers, navigating a ruined world in a desperate search for
sanctuary.
The Girl and the Rat
Jari Järvelä, translated by Kristian London
After losing her boyfriend and partner in crime, Rust, during a tragic run-in
with security, Metro moves to Berlin to start over. She finds a home in a
grimy squat where she befriends other graffiti artists, and together they carry
out aggressive attacks, bombing entire trains and buildings with fresh paint
and achieving international notoriety by posting their hits online.
Adorning the attic of their squat is a wall-size piece by world-famous
tagger Banksy depicting a silhouetted rat spraying a wall. It’s a hidden
treasure amid the squalor. But when Metro comes home one day to find
bodies—including one familiar face from her past—scattered around the
building and the amazing mural missing entirely, she and her friends are
forced into action. The piece turns up at auction for millions of dollars, and
Metro must follow it to its new home in Kotka, Finland, a town she thought
she had left behind for good.
Up against the law and on the run from her personal demons, Metro has
no choice but to seek justice with the only means she has: graffiti.

My One and Only
An Ardent Springs Novel
Terri Osburn
As far as Dr. Haleigh Rae Mitchner is concerned, Cooper Ridgeway is more
suited to a superhero cape than mechanic’s overalls. It’s just like Ardent
Springs’s most upstanding resident to rescue a pregnant, homeless teenager
and bring her to Haleigh’s delivery room. When they team up to help the new
mother and baby, Haleigh is determined not to cross the line with Cooper.
Not only is he her best friend’s brother, he’s a guy who deserves more than
Haleigh’s checkered past could ever offer.
At first glance, Haleigh is no longer the girl Cooper pined for in school. The
sleek, professional OB-GYN seems more out of reach than ever for this smalltown mechanic. But the more time he spends with the complicated woman,
the more he wants her. Who better than Cooper to prove to her that nothing
is beyond fixing? Especially in Ardent Springs, a town that’s tailor-made for
second chances.

Turn Me Loose
A Paradise, Idaho Novel
Rosalind James
Rochelle Marks is working hard to build a name for herself that has nothing to
do with her pinup-girl curves. She’s made mistakes in the past, and now she’s
trying to stop her little sister, Stacy, from making worse ones. Rochelle’s done
with being nothing more than someone’s good time. Even if that someone is

who’s just arrived in Paradise, Idaho, looking to pick up where they left off.
Tech mogul Travis Cochran’s hard-won new priorities have brought him to
town as a university lecturer, but he’s come for something else, too: the
smart, sassy, gorgeous woman who’s been in his head for months. When
Stacy’s choices draw her big sister into a web of down-home crime and coldblooded murder, Travis’s mission gets a whole lot more urgent. Now
convincing Rochelle to trust him isn’t just about winning her back. It may be
the only way to keep her alive.…

Driven from Ireland during the potato famine, Protestant Victoria
MacPherson and Catholic Maeve O’Reilly find themselves thrown together

New York City in 1851, with only a small purse of silver and the promise that
Maeve’s brother will find them there. But when he doesn’t show, the girls are

As the women work their way from seamstresses earning pennies a day to
proprietresses starting their own shop, their success is endangered by the
city’s corruption and a disgraceful secret that Victoria has been keeping from
Maeve. Jealous rivals, religious prejudice, and the shocking revelation of
Victoria’s shameful past threaten to break their bond and reduce the women
to rags. But will their strength, courage, and spirit be enough to help them

10 Laws of Trust, The
Building the Bonds That Make a Business Great
Joel Peterson, with David A. Kaplan
Trust is the glue that holds an organization together. It turns secrecy into
transparency, micromanagement into empowerment, and conflict into
creativity. With it, a tiny company like John Deere grew into a worldwide
leader. Without it, a giant corporation like Enron toppled.
In The 10 Laws of Trust, JetBlue chairman Joel Peterson explores how a
culture of trust gives companies an edge. Consider this: What does it feel like
to work for a firm where leaders and colleagues trust one another? Freed
from micromanagement and rivalry, every employee contributes his or her
best. Risk-taking and innovation become the norm. And, as Peterson notes,
“When a company has a reputation for fair dealing, its costs drop: trust cuts
the time spent second-guessing and lawyering.”
In clear, engaging prose, highlighted by compelling examples, Peterson
details how to establish and maintain a culture of trust. Steps include:
 Start with integrity
 Invest in respect
 Empower everyone
 Require accountability
 Create a winning vision
 Keep everyone informed
 Budget in line with expectations
 Embrace conflict
 Forget “you” to become an effective leader
 And more

Sister of Mine
Sabra Waldfogel
When two Union soldiers stumble onto a plantation in northern Georgia on a
warm May day in 1864, the last thing they expect is to see the Union flag
flying high—or to be greeted by a group of freed slaves and their Jewish
mistress. Little do they know that this place has an unusual history.
Twelve years prior, Adelaide Mannheim—daughter of Mordecai, the only
Jewish planter in the county—was given her own maid, a young slave named
Rachel. The two became friends, and soon they discovered a secret: Mordecai
was Rachel’s father, too.
As the country moved toward war, Adelaide and Rachel struggled to
navigate their newfound sisterhood—from love and resentment to betrayal
and, ultimately, forgiveness.
Now, facing these Union soldiers as General Sherman advances nearer,
their bond is put to the ultimate test. Will the plantation be spared? Or will
everything they’ve lived for be lost?

assignment on the barren, snow-swept island of Newfoundland, she finds
herself in harsh and unfamiliar territory.
During the long, dreary winters in the isolated fishing community of
Stormy Cove, gossiping is the primary pastime. So Lori is surprised when she
learns of a crime the locals have spent twenty years not talking about: the
strange, unsolved murder of a teenage girl. As she delves deeper into the
village’s past, she’ll discover dark family secrets, unexplained crimes, and an
undeniable attraction to Noah, a taciturn local fisherman who just might hold
all the answers.

Orphaned as a child in Russia, boat captain Sasha Petrov has spent most of
her life adrift, anchored only by her loving foster family. So when they beg
her to return to the family marina in Safe Harbor, Florida, for Mama’s sixtieth
birthday, Sasha complies, hoping to put the past behind her. But Mama has
other plans: she wants her three foster daughters to find Tony, the biological
son who disappeared twenty years earlier.
Sasha agrees to try, but that’s easier said than done when bad boy Jesse
Claybourne shows up, reigniting an old attraction. Back in Safe Harbor on a
quest of his own, Jesse gets tangled up in Sasha’s search, and soon the two
are close to uncovering an old town secret that some will stop at nothing to
protect.
When Jesse and Sasha’s dog are attacked, they realize the past is hiding
something more sinister than they ever imagined. Can they uncover the truth
without destroying Sasha’s family and breaking each other’s hearts, or are
they sailing against the wind?

Winning the Brain Game
Fixing the 7 Fatal Flaws of Thinking
Matthew May
In a 10-year study involving hundreds of interactive creative problem-solving
sessions, renowned business strategist and author Matthew E. May gave over
150,000 professionals a simple thought exercise, finding that less than 5%
arrived at the best and most elegant solution. The evidence he collected
points to seven observable thinking flaws, hard-wired in the human brain,
that could send you down a path to business failure.
The Brain Game calls on neuroscience and psychology to explain these
fatal flaws, then draws on case studies and interviews with the most
innovative thinkers in the world to provide you with a super-curated set of
battle-tested tools for fighting them. Short, practical, and imminently
readable, the book offers a fresh spin on the traps that cause innovators,
product designers, and business strategists to employ generic solutions for
complex, real world problems. May’s practical solutions to avoid repetitive
thinking patterns will lead you to better decision-making, higher levels of
innovation, clearer business strategies, and overall success.

The Curious Science of Humans at War

Bestselling author Mary Roach explores the science of keeping human beings
intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfested in the bizarre and extreme
circumstances of war.
Grunt tackles the science behind some of a soldier’s most challenging
adversaries—panic, exhaustion, heat, noise—and introduces us to the
scientists who seek to conquer them. Mary Roach dodges hostile fire with the
U.S. Marine Corps Paintball Team as part of a study on hearing loss and
survivability in combat. She visits the fashion design studio of U.S. Army
Natick Labs and learns why a zipper is a problem for a sniper. She visits a
repurposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps
medics for the shock and gore of combat wounds. At Camp Lemmonier,
Djibouti, in east Africa, we learn how diarrhea can be a threat to national
security. Roach samples caffeinated meat, sniffs an archival sample of a
World War II stink bomb, and stays up all night with the crew tending the
missiles on the nuclear submarine USS Tennessee. She answers questions not
found in any other book on the military: Why is DARPA interested in ducks?
How is a wedding gown like a bomb suit? Why are shrimp more dangerous to
sailors than sharks? Take a tour of duty with Roach, and you’ll never see our
nation’s defenders in the same way again.

Targeted
A Callahan & McLane Novel
Kendra Elliot
All Detective Mason Callahan wanted was a quiet fishing trip with the guys—a
chance to get away and unwind before Halloween. Until he finds the body of
his boss, Denny Schefte, near their remote Oregon cabin. Now all he wants is
to catch the sadist who slit Denny’s throat and covered his face with a mask.
Mason was the last person to see him alive and will stop at nothing to find his
friend’s murderer.
When the FBI learns of the mask left at the scene, they realize they have a
serial killer on their hands—one who is targeting cops. They assign the case to
Special Agent Ava McLane, despite her engagement to Mason. Barely
recovered from her own nearly fatal injury and her sister’s attempted suicide,
Ava hopes she is ready to chase another killer.
But as she delves into the increasingly disturbing case, the killer may be
closer than expected—dangerously close.
To Protect and To Serve
How to Fix America's Police
Norm Stamper
American policing is in crisis. The last decade witnessed a vast increase in
police aggression, misconduct, and militarization, along with a corresponding
reduction in transparency and accountability. Nowhere is this more
noticeable and painful than in African American and other ethnic minority
communities. Racism—from raw, individualized versions to insidious systemic
examples—appears to be on the rise in our police departments. Overall, our
police officers have grown more and more alienated from the people they’ve
been hired to serve. In To Protect and To Serve, Norm Stamper offers new
insights into the conditions that have created this crisis, reminding us that
police in a democratic society belong to the people—and not the other way
around.
To Protect and To Serve also delivers a revolutionary new model for
American law enforcement: the community-based police department. It calls
for citizen participation in all aspects of police operations: policymaking,
program development, crime fighting and service delivery, entry-level and
ongoing education and training, oversight of police conduct, and, especially
relevant to today’s challenges, joint community-police crisis management.
Nothing will ever change until the system itself is radically restructured, and
here Norm Stamper shows us how.

When Char Hawthorne's husband dies unexpectedly, she is left questioning
everything she once knew to be true: from the cozy small town life they built
together to her relationship with her stepdaughter, who is suddenly not
bound to Char in any real way. Untethered explores what bonds truly form a
family and how, sometimes, love knows no bounds.
Char Hawthorn, college professor, wife and stepmother to a spirited
fifteen-year-old daughter, loves her family and the joyful rhythms of work
and parenting. But when her husband dies in a car accident, the “step” in
Char’s title suddenly matters a great deal. In the eyes of the law, all rights to
daughter Allie belong to Lindy, Allie’s self-absorbed biological mother, who
wants to girl to move to her home in California.
While Allie begins to struggle in school and tensions mount between her
and Char, Allie’s connection to young Morgan, a ten-year-old-girl she tutors,
seems to keep her grounded. But then Morgan, who was adopted out of
foster care, suddenly disappears, and Char is left to wonder about a possible
future without Allie and what to do about Morgan, a child caught up in a
terrible crack in the system.

Nora Roberts
To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses of the moon
created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one of water. But then they fell
from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women

Face Value
The Hidden Ways Beauty Shapes Women's Lives
Autumn Whitefield-Madrano
For decades, we’ve discussed our insecurities in the face of idealized,
retouched, impossibly perfect images. We’ve worried primping and preening
are a distraction and a trap. But have we focused too much on beauty’s
negative influence?
In Face Value, journalist Autumn Whitefield-Madrano thoughtfully
examines the relationship between appearance and science, social media,
sex, friendship, language, and advertising to show how beauty actually affects
us day to day. Through meticulous research and interviews with dozens of
women across all walks of life, she reveals surprising findings, like that
wearing makeup can actually relax you, that you can convince people you’re
better looking just by tweaking your personality, and the ways beauty can be
a powerful tool of connection among women.
Equal parts social commentary, cultural analysis, careful investigation, and
powerful personal anecdotes, Face Value is provocative and empowering—
and a great conversation starter for women everywhere.

Leaving Blythe River
Catherine Ryan Hyde
Seventeen-year-old Ethan Underwood is totally unprepared to search for his
father in the Blythe River National Wilderness. Not only is he small, scrawny,
and skittish but he’s barely speaking to the man after a traumatic betrayal.
Yet when his father vanishes from their remote cabin and rangers abandon
the rescue mission, suddenly it’s up to Ethan to keep looking. Angry or not,
he’s his father’s only hope.
With the help of three locals—a fearless seventy-year-old widow, a pack
guide, and a former actor with limited outdoor skills—he heads into the wild.
The days that follow transform Ethan’s world. Hail, punishing sun, swollen
rapids, and exhausting pain leave him wondering if he’s been fooled yet
again: Is his father out here at all? As the situation grows increasingly dire,
Ethan realizes this quest has become about more than finding his dad.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes a
story of nature revealing human nature—the trickiest terrain. Navigating an
unforgiving landscape, Ethan searches himself for the ability to forgive his
father—if he finds him alive.

Love in Exile
Ayse Kulin, translated by Kenneth Dakan
Sabahat, a beautiful young Muslim woman, is known in her family for her
intelligence, drive, and stubbornness. She believes there is more in store for
her life than a good marriage and convinces her parents to let her pursue her
education, rare for young Turkish women in the 1920s. But no one—least of
all Sabahat herself—expects that in the course of her studies she will fall for a
handsome Armenian student named Aram.
After precious moments alone together, their love begins to blossom. Try
as she might to simplify her life and move on, Sabahat has no choice but to
follow her heart’s desire. But Aram is Christian, and neither family approves.
With only hope to guide their way, they defy age-old traditions, cross into
dangerous territory, and risk everything to find their way back to each other.
One of Turkey’s most beloved authors brings us an evocative story of two
star-crossed lovers inspired by her own family’s history.

Mattie Carver’s engagement party should have marked the start of her own
personal fairy tale. But when her fiancé, Ben, is violently abducted the next
morning, her desperate quest to find him rips her away from small-town life
and reveals a shattering truth: magic is real—and Ben is hooked. It’s not the

use her uncommon talent to assist his smuggling operations. Now, from
magic-laced Vegas casinos to the netherworld clubs of Bangkok, Mattie is on
a rescue mission. With Asa by her side, she’ll face not only the supernatural
forces arrayed against her but the all-too-human temptation that she fears

Flyover Nation
You Can't Run a Country You've Never Been To
Dana Loesch
When the owners of a small pizza parlor in Indiana were asked by the local
press whether they would ever cater a gay wedding, they said no, citing their
personal religious beliefs. The internet responded with immediate outrage,
posting death threats and vicious online reviews, and forcing them to shut
down. All for expressing a personal opinion rooted in faith, in response to a
completely hypothetical question. A new front in the culture war had been
opened.
When the owners of the pizza parlor told Dana Loesch on a Blaze TV
interview that they might never reopen, Loesch started a fundraising
campaign. Hundreds of thousands of dollars quickly poured in to support
them. The people donating weren’t taking a stand against gay rights; they just
believed that a random mom-and-pop shop shouldn’t be run out of business
because media and political elites on both coasts caricature and vilify rural
Americans.
Most of the problems with our country today can be traced to a very
simple cause—the growing disconnect between the government and media
elites and the rest of us, the old-fashioned, hard-working, God-fearing
Americans who are proud to live in middle America. As Loesch explains, too
many people getting on their high horse about Wal-Mart have never shopped
in one. Protesters outraged at small town cops have never been helped by
one. Environmentalists who claim to want to protect the spotted owl have
never been in the woods with one. Atheists who attack committed Christians
have never sat in a pew with one.

those communities haven't forgotten Washington's betrayals. And it will

Dead Man's Rule
Rick Acker
Chicago lawyer Ben Corbin has just launched his private practice when Dr.
Mikhail Ivanovsky, a mysterious Russian scientist, hires him to sue for
possession of a safe deposit box. But when the box’s owner enlists the city’s
highest-powered lawyer—and then turns up dead—the Russian confesses:
inside the box is an old Soviet biowarfare formula for the deadliest disease
known to humankind.
To make matters worse, a technicality called the Dead Man’s Rule now
forbids the scientist from taking the stand. With no one to testify—and
therefore no evidence—the odds against Ben seem insurmountable.
As the threat of a massive bioterrorist attack looms large, Ben and his team
race to rebuild their case and rescue the box. To succeed, he’ll need all his
wits and resources and Dr. Ivanovsky’s specialized knowledge—and both men
will need to trust in a higher power.

for all the right reasons. She was young and innocent, and he was her

Once love-struck and sheltered, Isabel has become an assistant district

now, the man she can't forgive is the one thing standing between her and a
deadly stalker. She knows Paul won't hesitate to protect her life with his own.
But if she can't trust herself to resist him, how can she trust him not to break

How to Control Your Anxiety
Before it Controls You
Albert Ellis, Ph.D.
From social anxiety to phobias to post-traumatic stress disorder, sources of
anxiety in daily life are numerous, and can have a powerful impact on your
future. By following the rules of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT),
created by world renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, you can stop anxiety in
its tracks if you will admit this important fact: Things and people do not make
you anxious. You do. Your unrealistic expectations produce your needless
anxiety. Yet not all anxiety is needless.
Healthy anxiety can ward off dangers and make you aware of negative
things that you can change. Unhealthy anxiety inhibits you from enjoying
everyday activities and relationships, causes you to perform poorly, and
blocks your creativity. Using the easy-to-master, proven precepts of REBT,
this classic book not only helps you distinguish between healthy and
unhealthy anxiety, but teaches you how to:
 Understand and dispute the irrational beliefs that make you anxious
 Use a variety of exercises, including rational coping self-statements,
reframing, problem-solving methods, and Unconditional Self-Acceptance
(USA), to control your anxiety
 Apply over 200 maxims to control your anxious thinking as well as your
bodily reactions to anxiety…and much more, including examples from
dozens of cases Dr. Ellis treated successfully. Now you can overcome the
crippling effects of anxiety—and increase your prospects for success,
pleasure, and happiness at home and in the workplace.

Seconds to Live
A Scarlet Falls Novel
Melinda Leigh
Wildlife biologist Mac Barrett avoided his hometown of Scarlet Falls for
years—too many bad memories. But when he receives the news that his
father is dying, he rushes home only to discover he’s too late. Shaken, Mac
retreats to his remote cabin seeking peace and solace. Instead, he crashes his
jeep to narrowly avoid running over the naked body of a woman lying in the
road. Even more disturbing, when he regains consciousness, the body is gone.
Police detective Stella Dane wants to believe Mac, even if his story about
the vanishing body seems far-fetched. But when Mac’s description matches
the missing woman she’s been searching for, it raises a disturbing question:
How does a dead body disappear?
Mac and Stella will have to work together to find the answer and catch a
psychotic kidnapper—and quickly. The killer has a deadly message to send,
and the case is about to become personal.…

Aubrey picks apart the inconsistencies to expose the first of many lies: a

abduction is clearly personal—but why would someone play a high-stakes
game with the life of a child? The more she presses for answers, the more
Aubrey is convinced that her mother is hiding something.
Desperate to save her young nephew, Aubrey must face harsh truths and
choose between loyalty to her family and doing the right thing. And she’d
better hurry, because vengeance sets its own schedule, and time is running

In the lockdown ward of a psychiatric hospital, Dr. Nadine Lavoie is in her
element. She has the tools to help people, and she has the desire: Healing
broken families is what she lives for. But Nadine doesn’t want to look too
closely at her own past because there are whole chunks of her life that are
black holes. It takes all her willpower to tamp down her recurrent
claustrophobia, and her daughter, Lisa, is a runaway who has been on the
streets for seven years.
When a distraught woman, Heather Simeon, is brought into the Psychiatric
Intensive Care Unit after a suicide attempt, Nadine gently coaxes her story
out of her—and learns of some troubling parallels to her own life. Digging
deeper, Nadine is forced to confront her traumatic childhood and the damage
that began when she and her brother were brought by their mother to a
remote commune on Vancouver Island. What happened to Nadine? Why was
their family destroyed? And why does the name of the group’s leader, Aaron
Quinn, provoke complex feelings of terror in Nadine even today?
Then the unthinkable happens, and Nadine realizes that danger is closer to
home than she ever imagined. She has no choice but to face what terrifies
her the most…and fight back.

Max doesn't remember his mother, who was murdered by burglars before

who is enamored of his concept of American culture—baseball and
barbeques—and tries to shed his Lebanese heritage completely. "When we
are in America," Reed (for he goes by Reed in America, not Rasheed) tells
Max, "we are Americans."
Rasheed has a singular purpose in life: to provide Max with a joyful
childhood. He showers his son with gifts out of a belief that he deserves all
and is capable of anything. Max wants nothing more than to convince his
father that he is a successful single parent. The only thing that can disrupt
their peaceful universe is the truth—which it does, with force.
When Max turns 17, he learns from Rasheed's ex-girlfriend that his father
has been lying to him. Max's understanding of the world is so rocked that he
is subsequently launched on an uncertain mission to Beirut and then Paris.

Me, Myself, and Us
The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being
Brian R. Little, Ph.D.
In the past few decades, personality psychology has made considerable
progress in raising new questions about human nature—and providing some
provocative answers. New scientific research has transformed old ideas about
personality based on the theories of Freud, Jung, and the humanistic
psychologies of the nineteen sixties, which gave rise to the simplistic
categorizations of the Meyer-Briggs Inventory and the "enneagream." But the
general public still knows little about the new science and what it reveals
about who we are.
In Me, Myself, and Us, Brian Little, Ph.D., one of the psychologists who
helped re-shape the field, provides the first in-depth exploration of the new
personality science and its provocative findings for general readers. The book
explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but
are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation. Are our first
impressions of other people's personalities usually fallacious? Are creative
individuals essentially maladjusted? Are our personality traits, as William
James put it, "set like plaster" by the age of thirty? Is a belief that we are in
control of our lives an unmitigated good? Do our singular personalities
comprise one unified self or a confederacy of selves, and if the latter, which
of our mini-mes do we offer up in marriage or mergers? Are some individuals
genetically hard-wired for happiness? Which is the more viable path toward
human flourishing, the pursuit of happiness or the happiness of pursuit?
Little provides a resource for answering such questions, and a framework
through which readers can explore the personal implications of the new
science of personality. Questionnaires and interactive assessments
throughout the book facilitate self-exploration, and clarify some of the
stranger aspects of our own conduct and that of others. Brian Little helps us
see ourselves, and other selves, as somewhat less perplexing and definitely
more intriguing.

individual needs—have become increasingly complex due to the
overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. We assume
that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware
of choice overload: it can make you question the decisions you make before
you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations,
and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures.
In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains why too much of a good
thing has proven detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being.
Synthesizing current research in the social sciences, he makes the
counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress,
anxiety, and busyness of our lives. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal
prose, he offers practical steps for how to limit choices to a manageable
number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the
rest, and, ultimately, derive greater satisfaction from the choices you do
make.

It’s been a year of upheaval, since Bren Cameron’s return from space—a year
when he and the aiji-dowager, one of his most powerful atevi allies, returned
home from their two-year interstellar mission to find the government
over-thrown and their world in chaos.
Now, at last, things are calming down; the Assassins’ Guild is functioning
again, working out its internal difficulties, and Bren is settling back into his
routine: not as Lord of the Heavens; not—to his regret—as Lord of Najida
peninsula, where his leisure estate is located; but as paidhi-aiji, an official in
the atevi court.
His current ambition is to keep himself and his bodyguard out of harm’s
way, and to shepherd the aiji-dowager’s daring new trade agreement through
the appropriate legislative committees. Combined with Tabini-aiji’s recent
appointment of his young son Cajeiri as his official heir, Bren’s workload is
challenging, but at least things on the atevi world seem to be on the right
track.
Something is coming, however, quietly, stealthily, just the first ominous

A Fearless Heart
How the Courage to Be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives
Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D.
The Buddhist practice of mindfulness caught on in the west when we began
to understand the everyday, personal benefits it brought us. Now, in this
extraordinary book, the highly acclaimed thought leader and longtime English
translator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama shows us that compassion can bring
us even more.
Based on the landmark course in compassion training Jinpa helped create
at Stanford Medical School, A Fearless Heart shows us that we actually fear
compassion. We worry that if we are too compassionate with others we will
be taken advantage of, and if we are too compassionate with ourselves we
will turn into slackers. Using science, insights from both classical Buddhist and
western psychology, and stories both from others and from his own
extraordinary life, Jinpa shows us how to train our compassion muscle to
relieve stress, fight depression, improve our health, achieve our goals, and
change our world.

it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America—addiction
like no other the country has ever faced. How that happened is the riveting
story of Dreamland. With a great reporter's narrative skill and the storytelling
ability of a novelist, acclaimed journalist Sam Quinones weaves together two
classic tales of capitalism run amok whose unintentional collision has been
catastrophic.
The unfettered prescribing of pain medications during the 1990s reached
its peak in Purdue Pharma's campaign to market OxyContin, its new,
expensive—and extremely addictive—miracle painkiller. Meanwhile a
massive influx of black tar heroin—cheap, potent, and originating from one
small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel—
assaulted small towns and midsized cities across the country, driven by a
brilliant, almost unbeatable marketing and distribution system.
Together these phenomena continue to lay waste to communities from
Tennessee to Oregon, Indiana to New Mexico. Introducing a memorable cast
of characters—pharma pioneers, young Mexican entrepreneurs, narcotics
investigators, survivors, and parents—Quinones shows how these tales fit
together. Dreamland is a revelatory account of the corrosive threat facing
America and its heartland.

In turn-of-the-century New York City, Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is
contemplating giving up PI work for something a little less complicated, less
exciting. Molly has had quite enough excitement recently, thank you very

Sullivan, whom she'd like to avoid completely. But when Daniel is accused of
accepting bribes and lands himself in the Tombs, the notorious city jail, he
begs Molly to help prove he was framed, and after everything they've been
through, she cannot turn him down.
As she finds herself drawn further and further into the case, she begins to
fear that Daniel's trouble is related to one of his investigations—catching the
Eastside Ripper, a serial killer who is targeting prostitutes.

Simple Rules
How to Thrive in a Complex World
Donald Sull & Kathleen M. Eisenhardt
Read by Jeff Cummings
We struggle to manage complexity every day. We follow intricate diets to
lose weight, juggle multiple remotes to operate our home entertainment
systems, face proliferating data at the office, and hack through thickets of
regulation at tax time. But complexity isn't destiny. Sull and Eisenhardt argue
there's a better way: by developing a few simple yet effective rules, you can
tackle even the most complex problems.
Simple rules are a hands-on tool to achieve some of our most pressing
personal and professional objectives, from overcoming insomnia to becoming
a better manager or a smarter investor. Simple rules can help solve some of
our most urgent social challenges from setting interest rates at the Federal
Reserve to protecting endangered marine wildlife along California’s coast.
Drawing on more than a decade of rigorous research, the authors provide
a clear framework for developing effective rules and making them better over
time. They find insights in unexpected places, from the way Tina Fey codified
her experience working at Saturday Night Live into rules for producing 30
Rock (rule five: never tell a crazy person he’s crazy) to burglars’ rules to
choose a house to rob (“avoid houses with a car parked outside”) to Japanese
engineers using the foraging rules of slime molds to optimize Tokyo’s rail
system.
Whether you’re struggling with information overload, pursuing
opportunities with limited resources, or just trying to change your bad habits,
Simple Rules provides a powerful way to tame complexity.
The Blossom Sisters
Fern Michaels
Read by Jeff Crawford
Gus Hollister owes all his success to his feisty grandmother, Rose, and he
knows it. It was Rose and her two sisters, Iris and Violet, who raised Gus, sent
him to the best schools, and helped him start his own accounting business.
Rose even bought the house Gus lives in with his wife, Elaine.

But now, Gus stands to lose everything—his home, his car, and his
business. Worse, he’s alienated his beloved grandma, who tried to warn him
about Elaine’s greedy, gold-digging ways. Gus, blinded by infatuation, refused
to listen, and now Elaine has locked him out of the house he was foolish
enough to put in her name.
Heartsick and remorseful, Gus returns to Rose’s Virginia farmhouse
seeking shelter. But it won’t be easy to make amends. Despite their pretty
floral names, there’s nothing delicate about the Blossom sisters.
Unbeknownst to Gus, they’ve also been running a very lucrative business
from home and don’t want interference. Yet family and forgiveness go hand
in hand, and Gus isn’t giving up.
With the help of close friends, new associates, and some very sprightly
ladies, Gus begins to repair the damage he’s done and help the residents of
Blossom Farm begin the next phase of their business. He might even be
finding the courage to love again. Because no matter how daunting starting
over can be, the results can surpass your wildest expectations—especially
when the Blossom sisters are in your corner.…

Ambelin Kwaymullina
They’re known as Firestarters. Boomers. Skychangers. The government calls
them Illegals—children with inexplicable abilities—and detains them in
menacing facilities so that society is kept out of harm’s way. Ashala Wolf and
her Tribe of fellow Illegals have taken refuge in the Firstwood, a forest eerily
conscious of its inhabitants, where they do their best to survive and where
they are free to practice their abilities. But when Ashala is compelled to
venture outside her territory, she is betrayed by a friend and captured by an
enemy. Injured and vulnerable, with her own Sleepwalker ability blocked,
Ashala is forced to succumb to a machine that will pull secrets from her mind.
It’s only a matter of time before the machine ferrets out the location of the
Tribe. Her betrayer, Justin Connor, is ever-present, saving her life when she
wishes to die and watching her every move. Will the Tribe survive the
interrogation of Ashala Wolf?

Misbehaving
The Making of Behavioral Economics
Richard Thaler
Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the
central agents in the economy are humans—predictable, error-prone
individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the
struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth—and change the
way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.
Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler
realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether
buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we
all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of
rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More
importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by
economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and
their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our
lives, our businesses, and our governments.
Coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical
understanding of incentives and market behavior, Thaler enlightens listeners
about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world. He
reveals how behavioral economic analysis opens up new ways to look at
everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new
building, to TV game shows, the NFL draft, and businesses like Uber.

One Nation Under God
How Corporate America Invented Christian America
Kevin M. Kruse
Conventional wisdom holds that America has been a Christian nation since
the Founding Fathers. But in One Nation Under God, historian Kevin M. Kruse
argues that the idea of “Christian America” is nothing more than a myth—and
a relatively recent one at that.
The assumption that America was, is, and always will be a Christian nation
dates back no further than the 1930s, when a coalition of businessmen and
religious leaders united in opposition to FDR’s New Deal. With the full
support of Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s, these activists—the forerunners
of the Religious Right—propelled religion into the public sphere. Church
membership skyrocketed; Congress added the phrase “under God” to the
Pledge of Allegiance and made “In God We Trust” the country’s official motto.
For the first time, America became a thoroughly religious nation.
Provocative and authoritative, One Nation Under God reveals how the
comingling of money, religion, and politics created a false origin story that
continues to define and divide American politics today.
Rise of the Robots
Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future
Martin Ford
In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we
know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these
nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on
their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy
might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is
making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery, and is
soon to do the same for radiologists. And that, no doubt, will only be the
beginning.
In Silicon Valley the phrase "disruptive technology" is tossed around on a
casual basis. No one doubts that technology has the power to devastate
entire industries and upend various sectors of the job market. But Rise of the
Robots asks a bigger question: can accelerating technology disrupt our entire
economic system to the point where a fundamental restructuring is required?
Companies like Facebook and YouTube may only need a handful of
employees to achieve enormous valuations, but what will be the fate of those
of us not lucky or smart enough to have gotten into the great shift from
human labor to computation?

PAGE 82
The more Pollyannaish, or just simply uninformed, might imagine that this
industrial revolution will unfold like the last: even as some jobs are
eliminated, more will be created to deal with the new devices of a new era. In
Rise of the Robots, Martin Ford argues that is absolutely not the case.
Increasingly, machines will be able to take care of themselves, and fewer jobs
will be necessary. The effects of this transition could be shattering. Unless we
begin to radically reassess the fundamentals of how our economy works, we
could have both an enormous population of the unemployed-the truck
drivers, warehouse workers, cooks, lawyers, doctors, teachers, programmers,
and many, many more, whose labors have been rendered superfluous by
automated and intelligent machines-and a general economy that, bereft of
consumers, implodes under the weight of its own contradictions. We are at
an inflection point-do we continue to listen to those who argue that nothing
fundamental has changed, and take a bad bet on a miserable future, or do we
begin to discuss what we must do to ensure all of us, and not just the few,
benefit from the awesome power of artificial intelligence? The time to choose
is now.

It was a logical question, since rock criticism didn't yet exist. In the weekly

He believed deeply in the power of rock, and, long before it was acceptable,
he championed the idea that this music was a serious art form. From his

to lose her home—or her beloved dog, Dash. But, as World War II rages and
people of Japanese descent are forced into incarceration camps, Mitsi is
separated from Dash, her classmates, and life as she knows it. The camp is a
crowded and unfamiliar place, whose dusty floors, seemingly endless lines,
and barbed wire fences begin to unravel the strong Kashino family ties. With
the help of a friendly neighbor back home, Mitsi remains connected to Dash
in spite of the hard times, holding on to the hope that the war will end soon
and life will return to normal. Though they've lost their home, will the
Kashino family also lose their sense of family? And will Mitsi and Dash ever be
reunited?

Keeper
Mal Peet
In a small newspaper office in South America, Paul Faustino, a veteran sports
reporter, begins an exclusive interview with El Gato, the World Cup-winning
soccer phenom. Over the course of the long night, El Gato tells the story of
how an unspectacular teenager in a poor logging town became the world's
most accomplished goalkeeper. It is a tale filled with tension, hunger, and
magic, set in a mythic corner of the jungle. But above all it is a tale about El
Gato's ghostly, but very real mentor: the Keeper.
The Spy’s Son
The True Story of the Highest-Ranking CIA Officer Ever Convicted of
Espionage and the Son He Trained to Spy for Russia
Bryan Denson
Investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Bryan Denson tells the
riveting story of the Nicholsons—father and son co-conspirators who
deceived their country by selling national secrets to Russia.
Jim Nicholson was one of the CIA's top veteran case officers. By day, he
taught spycraft at the CIA's clandestine training center, The Farm. By night, he
was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his kids.
But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly
with agents of Russia's foreign intelligence service and turned over troves of
classified documents. In 1997, Nicholson became the highest ranking CIA
officer ever convicted of espionage. But his duplicity didn’t stop there. While
behind the bars of a federal prison, the former mole systematically groomed
the one person he trusted most to serve as his stand-in: his youngest son,
Nathan. When asked to smuggle messages out of prison to Russian contacts,
Nathan saw an opportunity to be heroic and to make his father proud.
Wages of Rebellion
The Moral Imperative of Revolt
Chris Hedges
Read by David deVries
Revolutions come in waves and cycles. We are again riding the crest of a

movements against austerity in Greece to the Occupy movement. In Wages

society in terminal moral decline in his books Empire of Illusion and Death of
the Liberal Class—investigates what social and psychological factors cause
revolution, rebellion, and resistance. Drawing on an ambitious overview of
prominent philosophers, historians, and literary figures he shows not only the
harbingers of a coming crisis but also the nascent seeds of rebellion. Hedges’
message is clear: popular uprisings in the United States and around the world
are inevitable in the face of environmental destruction and wealth
polarization.
Focusing on the stories of rebels from around the world and throughout
history, Hedges investigates what it takes to be a rebel in modern times.
Utilizing the work of Reinhold Niebuhr, Hedges describes the motivation that
guides the actions of rebels as “sublime madness”—the state of passion that
causes the rebel to engage in an unavailing fight against overwhelmingly
powerful and oppressive forces. For Hedges, resistance is carried out not for
its success, but as a moral imperative that affirms life. Those who rise up
against the odds will be those endowed with this “sublime madness.”
From South African activists who dedicated their lives to ending apartheid,
to contemporary anti-fracking protests in Alberta, Canada, to whistleblowers
in pursuit of transparency, Wages of Rebellion shows the cost of a life
committed to speaking the truth and demanding justice. Hedges has penned
an indispensable guide to rebellion.

Neal Stephenson
Read by Mary Robinette Kowal & Will Damron
A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race
against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an
ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our
atmosphere, in outer space.
But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with
unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only
a handful of survivors remain.…Five thousand years later, their progeny—
seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another
audacious journey into the unknown…to an alien world utterly transformed
by cataclysm and time: Earth.
A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson
combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a
magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is
both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem,
Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some
of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is
daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

The Apple Orchard
A Bella Vista Novel
Susan Wiggs
Tess Delaney makes a living restoring stolen treasures to their rightful
owners. People like Annelise Winther, who refuses to sell her long-gone
mother’s beloved necklace—despite Tess’s advice. To Annelise, the jewel’s
value is in its memories.
But Tess’s own history is filled with gaps: a father she never met, a mother
who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. So Tess is shocked
when she discovers the grandfather she never knew is in a coma. And that
she has been named in his will to inherit half of Bella Vista, a hundred-acre
apple orchard in the magical Sonoma town called Archangel. The rest is willed
to Isabel Johansen. A half sister she’s never heard of.
Against the rich landscape of Bella Vista, Tess begins to discover a world
filled with the simple pleasures of food and family, of the warm earth
beneath her bare feet. A world where family comes first and the roots of
history run deep. A place where falling in love is not only possible, but
inevitable.
And in a season filled with new experiences, Tess begins to see the truth in
something Annelise once told her: if you don’t believe memories are worth
more than money, then perhaps you’ve not made the right kind of memories.

Ty Cobb
A Terrible Beauty
Charles Leerhsen
Ty Cobb is baseball royalty, maybe even the greatest player who ever lived.
His lifetime batting average is still the highest of all time, and when he retired
in 1928, after twenty-one years with the Detroit Tigers and two with the
Philadelphia Athletics, he held more than ninety records. But the numbers
don’t tell half of Cobb’s tale. The Georgia Peach was by far the most thrilling
player of the era: “Ty Cobb could cause more excitement with a base on balls
than Babe Ruth could with a grand slam,” one columnist wrote. When the
Hall of Fame began in 1936, he was the first player voted in.
But Cobb was also one of the game’s most controversial characters. He got
in a lot of fights, on and off the field, and was often accused of being overly
aggressive. In his day, even his supporters acknowledged that he was a fierce
and fiery competitor. Because his philosophy was to “create a mental hazard
for the other man,” he had his enemies, but he was also widely admired.
After his death in 1961, however, something strange happened: his
reputation morphed into that of a monster—a virulent racist who also hated
children and women, and was in turn hated by his peers.
How did this happen? Who is the real Ty Cobb? Setting the record straight,
Charles Leerhsen pushed aside the myths, traveled to Georgia and Detroit,
and re-traced Cobb’s journey, from the shy son of a professor and state
senator who was progressive on race for his time, to America’s first true
sports celebrity. In the process, he tells of a life overflowing with incident and
a man who cut his own path through his times—a man we thought we knew
but really didn’t.
The Beekeeper's Ball
A Bella Vista Novel
Susan Wiggs
Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef who grew up in the sleepy Sonoma town
of Archangel, is transforming her childhood home into a destination cooking
school—a unique place for other dreamers to come and learn the culinary
arts. Bella Vista's rambling mission-style hacienda, with its working apple
orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives, is the idyllic venue for Isabel's
project…and the perfect place for her to forget the past.
But Isabel's carefully ordered plans begin to go awry when swaggering,
war-torn journalist Cormac O'Neill arrives to dig up old history. He's always
been better at exposing the lives of others than showing his own closely
guarded heart, but the pleasures of small-town life and the searing sensuality
of Isabel's kitchen coax him into revealing a few truths of his own.
The dreamy sweetness of summer is the perfect time of year for a grand
family wedding and the enchanting Beekeeper's Ball, bringing emotions to a
head in a story where the past and present collide to create an unexpected
new future.

As a professional house-sitter and freelance writer, nothing ties Lila Emerson

spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a
friend’s Manhattan apartment. And though she can appreciate her clients’
extraordinary homes, their expensive collections, and their adorable pets, Lila
has never longed for possessions of her own. Everything she has, including
her heart, is portable. But when she witnesses a possible murder-suicide from
her current apartment-sitting job, life as Lila knows it takes a dramatic turn.
Artist Ashton Archer knows his charming, clever, and impulsive brother
couldn’t have killed his girlfriend—or taken his own life. His hope of
unraveling what happened lies with Lila, the only eyewitness. And even
buried in grief, Ash longs to paint the woman whose deep, dark eyes seem to
hold endless reserves of strength and a fiery passion.
Chalking up their intense attraction to the heat of the moment, Lila agrees
to help Ash in trying to find out who murdered his brother and why. From the
penthouses of Manhattan to grand Italian villas, their investigation draws
them into a rarefied circle where priceless antiques are bought, sold, gambled
away, and stolen, where what you possess is who you are, and where what
you desire becomes a deadly obsession.

The End of All Things
An Old Man’s War Novel
John Scalzi
Humans expanded into space…only to find a universe populated with
multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union
formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used
the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good
arrangement…for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more.
Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time—a couple of decades at
most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the
struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been
waiting for the first sign of weakness to drive humanity to ruin. And there's
another problem: a group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human
and alien against each other—and against their own kind—for their own
unknown reasons.
In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial
Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is
behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a
suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact…or else risk
oblivion and extinction—and the end of all things.

From humble beginnings Andrew Dice Clay roared to fame, becoming the
only comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, but his
edgy material quickly caught up to him. His billboards were defaced; the
premiere of his film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane was cancelled; some of
the cast members of Saturday Night Live threatened to walk off when he
guest-hosted the program; and he was famously banned for life from MTV.
For almost twenty years he stayed out of the spotlight, but like a real life
Rocky, Dice would not stay down. Spurred by a role written for him by the
creator of Entourage and a critically acclaimed starring role in Woody Allen’s
film Blue Jasmine, Dice is back in the spotlight and selling out theaters.
Filled with no-holds-barred humor as well as plenty of never-before-shared

Sam Kinison, Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, Slash, and many others, The

How a Concussion Stole My Life and How the New Science of Brain
Plasticity Helped Me Get It Back
Elliott, Clark - Morey, Arthur
In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended.
Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research
career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a
single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five
children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the
cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became
more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he
crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians—one a
specialized optometrist, the other a cognitive psychologist—working on the
leading edge of brain plasticity. He was substantially improved within weeks.
Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from
the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding
documentation that is the basis of this fascinating audiobook. The Ghost in
My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year,
and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most
complex computational device: the human brain.

A real estate lawyer in Connecticut’s moneyed seaside communities, Beth
Ann Carpenter, 30, had beauty, brains, and success. But she wanted more –
namely guardianship of her two-year-old niece, Rebecca, daughter of Beth’s
estranged sister, Kim. When Kim married Anson “Buzz” Clinton, 28, a former
male exotic dancer deemed an unsuitable guardian by the Carpenter family,
Beth Ann became obsessed with the idea that only his death could ensure
that she and her parents would get custody of the child. On March 10, 1994,
along a lonely stretch of road, Clinton was shot five times. His body was
discovered by passing motorists. Misfit Murderers Behind Clinton’s death lay
a bizarre murder-for-hire conspiracy that found privileged professionals and
local misfits joined in a cold-blooded plot against an innocent man. This
homicidal group included attorney Haiman Clein, 52. A husband, father, and
successful businessman, Clein was Beth Ann Carpenter’s boss – and also her
sexually-obsessed, cocaine-snorting, murderously obedient lover. The paid
killers were two buddies, organizer Joe Fremut and triggerman Mark Despres,
who brought his 15-year-old son Christopher along for the hit. The aftermath
of this brutal crime would set investigators and prosecutors on a long and
twisted path strewn with lies, treachery, and deceit that would cross the

The Long High Noon
Loren D. Estleman
Locked in a deadly feud, cowboys Randy Locke and Frank Farmer have spent
decades attempting to annihilate each other any time they are within
shooting distance.
So far, the men are even. One of Frank’s bullets has given Randy a
permanent limp. Vain Frank wears a prosthetic ear, his own lost to Randy’s
assault. If either of them remembers the original reason for the feud, it seems
moot now.
Their quest for revenge has led them on a merry chase through the Old
West—through soon-to-be ghost towns and major cities; cattle ranches and
mountain cabins; brothels and fishing boats; jailhouses and movie sets. Even
their marriages have fallen victim to the feud.
The story of their long-term hatred well known throughout the country,
Frank and Randy are approached (separately, of course) by Abraham
Cripplehorn with a proposition. With the popular Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
show a raging success, why not publicize their next duel and sell tickets to the
event? Winner take all, in more ways than one.
Frank and Randy make a date for death…but will they be able to wait for
the show? And could it be that their decades-long thirst for revenge is the
only thing they are living for?

Lighthouse Reformatory for Wayward Girls and tortured by her guilt—not to
mention the sadistic Miss Edwards, who takes special delight in humiliating
the once-great Pagan Jones. But all of that is about to change.
Pagan's old agent shows up with a mysterious studio executive, Devin
Black, and an offer. Pagan will be released from juvenile detention if she
accepts a juicy role in a comedy directed by award-winning director Bennie
Wexler. The shoot starts in West Berlin in just three days. If Pagan's going to
do it, she has to decide fast—and she has to agree to a court-appointed
"guardian," the handsome yet infuriating Devin, who's too young, too
smooth, too sophisticated to be some studio flack. The offer's too good to be
true, Berlin's in turmoil, and Devin Black knows way too much about her—
there's definitely something fishy going on. But if anyone can take on a

Brush Back
A V. I. Warshawski Novel
Sara Paretsky
No one would accuse V. I. Warshawski of backing down from a fight, but
there are a few she’d be happy to avoid. High on that list is tangling with
Chicago political bosses. Yet that’s precisely what she ends up doing when
she responds to Frank Guzzo’s plea for help.
For six stormy weeks back in high school, V. I. thought she was in love with
Frank. He broke up with her, she went off to college, he started driving trucks
for Bagby Haulage. She forgot about him until the day his mother was
convicted of bludgeoning his kid sister, Annie, to death. Stella Guzzo was an
angry, uncooperative prisoner and did a full twenty-five years for her
daughter’s murder.
Newly released from prison, Stella is looking for exoneration, so Frank asks
V. I. for help. V. I. doesn’t want to get involved. Stella hated the Warshawskis,
in particular V. I.’s adored mother, Gabriella.
But life has been hard on Frank and on V. I.’s other childhood friends, still
stuck on the hardscrabble streets around the dead steel mills, and V. I. agrees
to ask a few questions. Those questions lead her straight into the vipers’ nest
of Illinois politics she’s wanted to avoid. When V. I. takes a beating at a youth
meeting in her old hood, her main question becomes whether she will live
long enough to find answers.

The Snow Queen
Hans Christian Andersen
Read by Julia Whelan
Audible's 2014 Narrator of the Year Julia Whelan performs one of Hans
Christian Andersen's most beloved fairy tales, The Snow Queen.
This classic tale is a fantastical fable of two dear friends—one of whom
goes astray and is literally lost to the north woods, while the other
undertakes an epic journey to rescue him. This charming, strange, and
wonderful story is a timeless allegory about growing up and the challenges of
staying true to one's self, and it served as the wintry inspiration for the
blockbuster hit Frozen.
Who Gets What—And Why
The New Economics of Matchmaking and Market Design
Alvin E. Roth
Read by Peter Berkrot
A Nobel laureate reveals the often surprising rules that govern a vast array of
activities—both mundane and life-changing—in which money may play little
or no role.
If you’ve ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided
your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been
asked out, you’ve participated in a kind of market. Most of the study of
economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of a good
connects sellers and buyers. But what about other kinds of “goods,” like a
spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google? This is the territory of
matching markets, where “sellers” and “buyers” must choose each other, and
price isn’t the only factor determining who gets what.

Alvin E. Roth is one of the world’s leading experts on matching markets. He
has even designed several of them, including the exchange that places
medical students in residencies and the system that increases the number of

What—And Why, Roth reveals the matching markets hidden around us and
shows how to recognize a good match and make smarter, more confident
decisions.

The Blue Between Sky and Water
Susan Abulhawa
It is 1947, and Beit Daras, a quiet village in Palestine surrounded by olive
groves, is home to the Baraka family. Eldest daughter Nazmiyeh looks after
her widowed mother, prone to wandering and strange outbursts, while her
brother, Mamdouh, tends to the village bees. Their younger sister, Mariam,
with her striking mismatched eyes, spends her days talking to imaginary
friends and writing.
When Israeli forces gather outside the town's borders, nobody suspects
the terror that is about to descend. Soon the village is burning, and, amid
smoke and ash, the family must take the long road to Gaza, in a walk that will
test them to their limits.
Sixty years later Mamdouh's granddaughter, Nur, is living in America. She
falls in love with a married man, a doctor who works in Palestine, and follows
him to Gaza. There she meets Alwan, the mother of Khaled—a boy trapped in
his own body, unable to wake up from a deep blue dream. It is through her
that Nur will at last discover the ties of kinship that transcend distance—and
even death.
The Loved Ones
Mary-Beth Hughes
From the outside in, the Devlin family lead almost-perfect lives. Dashing
father Nick is a successful businessman long married to sweetheart Jean, who
upholds the family home and throws dinner parties while daughter Lily
attends Catholic school and is disciplined into modesty by the nuns. Under
the surface, however, the Devlins are silently broken by the death of their
little boy.
As Nick's older brother, a man driven by callous and rapacious urges,
inducts Nick into the cut-throat world of cosmetics, the Devlin family are
further fragmented by betrayals and victims of the cruelest kind of hurt.
In The Loved Ones, Hughes takes her gimlet eye deep into the secret places
between men and women to give an incisive portrayal of one family's struggle
to stay together against stacked odds of deception, adultery, and loss. Years
in the making, this is Hughes' astonishing and compulsively listenable
breakout, a sweepingly cinematic novel of relationships defined by an era of
glamour and decadence.

The Unnoticeables

9781491530870
There are angels, and they are not beneficent or loving. But they do watch
over us. They watch our lives unfold, analyzing us for repeating patterns and
redundancies. When they find them, the angels simplify those patterns and
remove the redundancies, and the problem that is “you” gets solved.
Carey doesn’t much like that idea. As a punk living in New York City, 1977,
Carey is sick and tired of watching strange kids with unnoticeable faces
abduct his friends. He doesn’t care about the rumors of tar-monsters in the
sewers or unkillable psychopaths invading the punk scene—all he wants is to
drink cheap beer and dispense ass-kickings.
Kaitlyn isn’t sure what she’s doing with her life. She came to Hollywood in
2013 to be a stunt woman, but last night a former teen heartthrob tried to
eat her, her best friend has just gone missing, and there’s an angel outside
her apartment. Whatever she plans on doing with her life, it should probably
happen in the few remaining minutes she has left.
There are angels. There are demons. They are the same thing. It’s up to
Carey and Kaitlyn to stop them. The survival of the human race is in their
hands. We are, all of us, well and truly screwed.

Colt Nightshade can't believe his luck: he's been partnered on a case with the
stunningly beautiful lieutenant Althea Grayson. But Grayson works strictly by
the book, and she has no use for Colt's easygoing, renegade style. The case
itself is demanding enough, but thawing the heart of his standoffish partner
just might be the toughest challenge Colt has ever faced.
Night Smoke
Sophisticated executive Natalie Fletcher is accustomed to being in control,
but if she wants to save her business, she needs the help of arson investigator
Ryan Piasecki—a man with a reputation for being abrasive and aggressive.
Ry's arrogance proves infuriating, yet oddly irresistible. But as sparks fly
between Ry and Natalie, danger is hot on their trail.…

Jonah. But in the meantime, the memory of their passionate embrace
threatens to consume him.…
Night Moves
Maggie Fitzgerald has retreated from her former fast-paced life, seeking
solitude to heal her broken heart. But her new landscaper, Cliff Delaney, is
gruff and abrupt—and somehow irresistible. And when a body is found too
close to home, shattering her peace entirely, Maggie is forced into the arms
of the very man she finds so aggravating. The trouble is, Cliff is the prime
suspect in the investigation. Has Maggie fallen for a good man with a rough
exterior…or a coldhearted killer?
