Things That Go Bump: He's your best friend's older brother...what could go wrong?

"Abandoned and left as an orphan, Wren Williams is on a search to find where she comes from—a difficult task since she's the only siren in The Hartlands, a city in The Upper Hollows. When Shifter Homicide Detective Kai, her friend's older brother, says he'll find her family, she jumps at the opportunity. While she's always sensed a level of attraction between them it was something Kai and Wren ignored for professional reasons because their jobs tend to overlap. When bodies with missing organs begin to show up at the morgue, Wren worries her first job as a forensic pathologist is colliding with her part-time job as a monster tracker. Then the unthinkable happens: a friend is murdered, intertwining Wren and Kai even more, taking them on a journey to solve the case. Can Wren find her family while juggling a possible relationship, solving murders, and tracking monsters? Or will she perish when the things that go bump come for her?"

Poetry Is Not a Luxury

"From the creator of the beloved @PoetryIsNotaLuxury Instagram account, a gorgeously wrought poetry anthology that is a gift and a guide for readers through every season of life. Inspired by writer and philosopher Audre Lorde's famous claim 'Poetry is not a luxury', this anthology proves the vitality of poetry as a crucial source of inspiration, comfort and delight. In the first section, Summer, you'll find lush landscapes and love poems for weddings and anniversaries, alongside poems on travel, protest and expressions of sheer joy and exhilaration. Autumn ushers in nostalgic poems about home and family and friendship, fall leaves, nesting and gratitude. You may turn to Winter should you require a poem for mourning, some lyrics for loneliness or an ode to comfort. Rounding out a year's worth of verse is Spring, in which you'll discover celebratory poems, in the form of praise for rain and flowers, new beginnings and all that the future might hold. Each poem within has been chosen from centuries of verse from around the world, with an emphasis on living poets. Friends old and new await, with selections from Rita Dove, Victoria Chang, Ross Gay, Naomi Shihab Nye, C.D. Wright, Eileen Myles, Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Jos Charles and more. From love poems to elegies, from the heights of new love to the furrows of anxiety, from special occasions to a morning pick-me-up, there is something here for longtime poetry lovers and novices, in any season of need."

The Summer I Ate the Rich

"“Melinda Sewak's tender, sometimes sinister, delivery of food descriptions enhances the story's evocative language.”—AudioFile Just add garlic, lemon, and a dash of the one percent. This smart, biting novel, which features multicast narration, explores what happens when a Haitian American girl uses her previously hidden zombie abilities to exact revenge on the wealthy elites who’ve caused her family pain. Brielle Petitfour loves to cook. But with a chronically sick mother and bills to pay, becoming a chef isn’t exactly a realistic career path. When Brielle’s mom suddenly loses her job, Brielle steps in and uses her culinary skills to earn some extra money. The rich families who love her cooking praise her use of unique flavors and textures, which keep everyone guessing what’s in Brielle’s dishes. The secret ingredient? Human flesh. Written by the storytelling duo Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, The Summer I Ate the Rich is a modern-day fable inspired by Haitian zombie lore that scrutinizes the socioeconomic and racial inequity that is the foundation of our society. Just like Brielle’s clients, it will have you asking: What’s for dinner? A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux."
