Gone Astray
Brian Staveley
Michelle Davies
The Annurian Empire is losing a war on two fronts - and it's
unclear who is in command. Adare is stationed in the thick
of battle and now calls herself Emperor. However, she can't
hold back the nomadic Urgul forces for much longer. She
needs her brilliant general, Ran il Tornja, but will he betray
her again? Her brother Kaden is the true heir, yet he'll
accept a Republic to save his divided people. And he faces
something even more terrible than war. He's unmasked Ran
il Tornja as a remnant of an ancient race who attempted to
destroy mankind. The general plans to finish what they
started, and is amassing all the power he needs. The
empire calls on the Kettral, its toughest soldiers, but their
order has been decimated. Its last fighters are in disarray,
but could they still turn the tide of war? Most disturbingly of
all, capricious gods walk the earth in human guise. And their
desires could seal the fate of a world.

Yvvette Edwards' second novel, The Mother, tells Marcia's
story. Today, Marcia is heading to the Old Bailey. She's
going there to do something no mother should ever have to
do: to attend the trial of the boy accused of her son's
murder. She's not meant to be that woman; Ryan, her son,
wasn't that kind of boy. But Tyson Manley is that kind of a
boy and, as his trial unfolds, it becomes clear that it's his
girlfriend Sweetie who has the answers Marcia so badly
needs and who can - perhaps - offer Marcia some kind of
hope for the future. But Sweetie is as scared of Tyson as
Ryan should have been and, as Marcia's learned the hard
way, nothing's certain. Not any more.

None of us are perfect, in the way we love, age, or view
the world. The Not-Dead and the Saved offers us an
opportunity for reinvention: of ourselves, those we have
lost, and the world in which we live. From a man doomed
to spend his life trying to find solutions to cancer; to a
new mother haunted by a swaddling, tablet-eating greataunt; to an intrepid literary agent who travels to the
Yorkshire Moors to discover the next big thing, and ends
up eating Anne Bronte's rock cakes, we meet a host of
characters who are desperately, creatively, and often
hilariously trying to evade the underlying truths of their
lives.

Chicago
R S Belcher
Brian Doyle
A unique new urban fantasy by the author of The Six-Gun
Tarot, exploring the haunted byways and truck stops of the
U.S. Interstate Highway System In 1119 A.D., a group of
nine crusaders became known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers
of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon--a militant monastic
order charged with protecting pilgrims and caravans
traveling on the roads to and from the Holy Land. In time,
the Knights Templar would grow in power and, ultimately,
be laid low. But a small offshoot of the Templars endure and
have returned to the order's original mission: to defend the
roads of the world and guard those who travel on them.

Of Noble Family
Blue Stars
Mary Robinette Kowal
Emily Gray Tedrowe
The final book of the acclaimed Glamourist Histories is the magical adventure that might
result if Jane Austen walked on the darker side of the Regency. Jane and Vincent have
finally gotten some much-needed rest after their adventures in Italy when Vincent receives
word that his estranged father has passed away on one of his properties in the West
Indies. The sea voyage is long and Jane spends enough time unable to perform glamour
that towards the end of the trip she discovers that she is with child. They are overjoyed, but
when they finally arrive at the estate, they realise that nearly everything they came
expecting to find had been a lie. Also, the entire estate is in disarray, with horrifying
conditions and tensions with the local slave population so high that they are close to revolt.
Blue Stars tells the story of Ellen, a Midwestern literature professor, who is drawn into the
war when her legal ward Michael enlists as a Marine; and of Lacey, a proud Army wife who
struggles to pay the bills and keep things going for her son while her husband is deployed.
Ellen and Lacey cope with the fear and stress of a loved one at war while trying to get by in
a society that often ignores or misunderstands what war means to women today. When
Michael and Eddie are injured in Iraq, Ellen and Lacey's lives become intertwined in Walter
Reed Army Hospital. They form an alliance, and an unlikely friendship, while helping each
other survive the dislocated world of the army hospital. In the end, both women are
changed, not only by the war and its fallout, but by each other.

The South Side
Natalie Y. Moore
Mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel have touted Chicago as a "world-class city."
The skyscrapers kissing the clouds, the billion-dollar Millennium Park, Michelin-rated
restaurants, pristine lake views, fabulous shopping, vibrant theater scene, downtown flower
beds and stellar architecture tell one story. Yet swept under the rug is another story: the
stench of segregation that permeates and compromises Chicago. In this intelligent and
highly important narrative, Chicago native Natalie Moore shines a light on contemporary
segregation in the city's South Side. These communities highlight the impact of Chicago's
historic segregation - and the ongoing policies that keep the system intact.

stored in Montreal underground during WWII, and then subsequently returned to London.
Martine is thrilled to be part of the excavation project, until it turns out that one of the dig's
discoveries includes the remains of a man who has two small jewels resting where his
stomach once was, and a bullet hole in the back of his skull. She decides to team up with
an academic friend to figure out what happened with this decades-old theft, before the
world finds out that two of London's prize jewels are fake, and before the nefarious
circumstances that got them there get to Martine first... and silence her for good.

When visiting Ballymorris in Ireland for a funeral, a down-on-his-luck American reporter
learns of a story. A group of four teenagers, three of whom are family friends, claimed to
have been visited by the Virgin Mary. Almost 20 years later, one of them denies it ever
happened, another has left the small town, never to be heard from again, another has
become a nun, and the fourth has been locked away in a psychiatric ward for many years.
At the time, news of the visitation brought much wealth and tourism to this dreary Irish

true Marian Apparition, what had been seen as a miracle began to feel like a curse, and
this reporter believes there is more to the story than the townspeople are letting on...

The sale of Babe Ruth by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees in 1919 is one of
the pivotal moments in baseball history, changing the fortunes of two of baseball's most
storied franchises, and helping to create the legend of the greatest player the game has
ever known. More than a simple transaction, the sale resulted in a deal that created the
Yankee dynasty, turned Boston into an also-ran, helped save baseball after the Black Sox
scandal and led the public to fall in love with Ruth. The Selling of Babe is the first book to
focus on the ramifications of the sale and captures the central moment of Ruth's evolution
from player to icon, and will appeal to fans of The Kid and Pinstripe Empire.

The Oldest Boy
John Koethe
Sarah Ruhl
A searching new collection from America's philosopher-poet John Koethe, in his tenth
volume of poetry, investigates the capricious nature of everyday life, "the late-night jazz,
great sex and all / The human shit defining what we are." His poems - always dynamic and
in process, never static or complete - luxuriate in the questions that punctuate the most
humdrum of routines, rendering a robust portrait of an individual: complicated, quotidian,
and resounding with truth. The Swimmer argues that this "energizes everything": life's
trivialities, surprises, and disappointments, and the "terrible feeling of being just about to
fall."
In The Oldest Boy, the newest work from the visionary playwright Sarah Ruhl, faith and
family are put at odds when a three-year-old boy is recognised as the reincarnation of a
high Buddhist Lama. Tradition requires that the boy begin the monastic life as soon as
possible, a revelation that anguishes his father, a Tibetan-born restaurateur, and his
mother, a Midwesterner torn between her respect for her husband's culture and her
maternal instinct. The Oldest Boy utilises song, dance, and puppetry to tell a story of
mingling cultures, spiritual seeking, and parental heartbreak. With gentle humor and
compassion it enacts the central struggle of any mother's experience: accepting that loving
also means letting go.

The Two-Family House
Mother, Can You Not?
Lynda Cohen Loigman
Kate Siegel
A moving and evocative debut set in a two-family brownstone in 1950s Brooklyn,
unraveling a multigenerational story woven around a deeply buried family secret. Brooklyn,
1947: in the midst of a blizzard, in a two-family brownstone, two babies are born minutes
apart to two women. They are sisters by marriage with an impenetrable bond forged before
and during that dramatic night; but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear and
their once deep friendship begins to unravel. No one knows why, and no one can stop it.
One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy. Heartbreak wars with happiness and
almost but not quite wins.
'Happy birthday, spawn. Welcome to the wrong side of 25. The expiration date on your
eggs is officially in sight. Tick tock. Love, Mom' This was the text message Kate Siegel
woke up to on the morning of her 26th birthday, but her mother's maternal adoration and
helicopter parenting began while Kate was still in utero. Never shy about pushing her only
daughter to study harder, to dump her loser boyfriends, to move to 'less rapey'
neighbourhoods, Kate's mum has given some truly hilarious but often sage advice over the
years. Over, 700,000 people follow @CrazyJewishMom on Instagram, and this sidesplittingly funny mother-daughter duo has been featured in media around the world.

world felt passionately that rapidly advancing fascism must be halted in Spain; if not there,
where? More than 35,000 volunteers from dozens of other countries went to help defend
the Spanish Republic. Adam Hochschild evokes this tumultuous period mainly through the

In the spring of 1939, with the Second World War looming, two determined twenty-fouryear-olds, Heather Jenner and Mary Oliver, decided to open a marriage bureau. They

We meet a remarkable cross-section of British society in the 1940s: gents with a 'merry

affekshunate girl' and girls looking 'exactly' like Greta Garbo and Vivien Leigh, all
desperately longing to find 'The One'. And thanks to Heather and Mary, they almost always

health issues, and actually become healthier than you were before? With Dr. Z's Rebuild
program, you can. Readers get information and simple guidelines on regenerating cells to
recover from and prevent life-threatening or chronic illness, rebuilding their bodies' strength
by eliminating toxic fat, and revitalizing their lives with new hope and energy. Also included
in the book are illustrated high-impact exercises and plant-based recipes. Dr. Z guides
readers to get to the roots of their chronic health issues, reversing the conditions so that
their bodies can heal, strengthen and prevent future illness.
Because of Sex provides a compelling look at ten of the most important Supreme Court
cases defining women's rights on the job, as told by the brave women who brought the
cases to court including Ida Phillips, denied an assembly line job because she had a young
child; Kim Rawlinson, who fought to become a prison guard; and Mechelle Vinson, who
brought a lawsuit for sexual abuse. These unsung heroines' victories, and those of the
other women profiled in Because of Sex, dismantled a world where women could only
hope to play supporting roles; where sexual harassment was "just the way things are"; and

Shawn Krest is an incredible and gripping sportswriter who shares a detailed narrative
behind the best and worst MLB player trades in history. Few topics of baseball get fans as
riled up as trades, and any fan can spout words of rage or thrill at the big blockbuster ones.
But reviewing those mismatch trades is like judging the best home runs by how far they
went. Instead of only focusing on the first-round knockouts, this book deals with the 12round title fights of baseball trades. The best trades are the ones that changed the history
of the sport. The worst ones didn't just get a GM fired - they cost a city its team. In this
book, readers get a bird's eye view of the most important trades and how they shaped
baseball into what it is today.

Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth
Frank Cottrell Boyce
Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth by award-winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce, with
illustrations by Steven Lenton, will send your imagination into orbit! The Blythes are a big,
warm, rambunctious family who live on a small farm and sometimes foster children. Now
Prez has come to live with them. But, though he seems cheerful and helpful, he never says
a word. Then one day Prez answers the door to someone claiming to be his relative. This
small, loud stranger carries a backpack, walks with a swagger and goes by the name of
Sputnik. As Prez dithers on the doorstep, Sputnik strolls right past him and introduces
himself to everyone in the household. Prez is amazed at the response. The family pat
Sputnik on the head, call him a good boy and drop food into his mouth. It seems they all
think Sputnik is a dog.

The Thing about Jellyfish
Zeus
Ali Benjamin
George O'Connor
Suzy is 12 when her best friend, Franny, drowns one summer at the beach. It takes two
days for the news to reach Suzy, and it's not something that she can accept: Franny has
always been a strong swimmer, from the day they met in swim class when they were just
5. How can someone all of a sudden, just no longer be there? Suzy realizes, they must
have got it wrong: Franny didn't just drown - she was stung by a poisonous jellyfish. This
makes a lot more sense to Suzy's logical mind than a random drowning - cause: a jellyfish
sting; effect: death. Suzy's journey to acceptance is quiet - she resolves to either say
something important, or say nothing at all. But it's also bursting with bittersweet humour,
heart-breaking honesty, big ideas and small details.

Aphrodite
George O'Connor
George O'Connor brings his lifelong passion for Greek myths to bear in this New York
Times-bestselling series for young readers. In volume six of Olympians, graphic novel
author/artist George O'Connor turns the spotlight on Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Look
for the same thoroughly researched and wonderfully accessible comics storytelling as
O'Connor tackles the story of the Aphrodite from her dramatic birth (emerging from seafoam) to her role in the Trojan War. O'Connor has outdone himself with this volume: the
story is riveting and the artwork is beyond compare. Greek mythology has never been so
vivid!

The Dollhouse Magic
George O'Connor is a Greek mythology buff and a classic superhero comics fan, and he's
out to remind us how much our pantheon of superheroes (Superman, Batman, the X-Men,
etc) owes to mankind's ORIGINAL superheroes: the Greek pantheon. In Olympians,
Zeus: King of the Gods O'Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and
retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren't sedate, scholarly works. They're actionpacked, fast-paced, high-drama adventures, with monsters, romance, and not a few huge
explosions. O'Connor's vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a
perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology.
