"#1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon gives her beloved fans what they want for Christmas: a new Mitford novel.
When Father Tim's wife, Cynthia, asks what he wants for Christmas, he pens the answer in a love letter that bares his most private feelings. Then the letter goes missing and circulates among his astonished neighbors. So much for private.
Can a letter change a life? Ask Helene, the piano teacher who has avoided her feelings for a lifetime. Ask Hope, the village bookseller who desperately needs something that's impossibly out of reach. Or, if you'd like to know how a brush with death can be the portal to a happy marriage, Cynthia will tell you all about it.
In My Beloved, Harley gets an important letter of his own; a broken heart teaches the Old Mayor, Esther Cunningham, a lesson long in coming; and thanks to Lace and Dooley, readers get what they've been waiting for: Sadie.
Poignant, hilarious, and life-affirming, My Beloved sets a generous table for millions of readers who love these characters like family. With Karon's signature humanity shining through on every page, this is a season of life in Mitford you won't want to miss."

"In this authoritative but light-hearted account of beers gone by, archaeologist Tate Paulette brings the famous 'land between the rivers' back to life in vivid detail. We meet not only the beers of ancient Mesopotamia, but also the people who brewed them and drank them, the places where these people lived and worked, the taverns and temples and tombs where they did their drinking, the stories they told about beer, their preferred styles of drinking, their brewing equipment and drinking paraphernalia, the gods and goddesses who governed their lives and who were also partial to a drink.
Rigorous in its scholarship, yet staunchly unpretentious in style, this beer-centered travel guide for a trip back in time offers a clear roadmap into the ancient source material for those who are new to Mesopotamia. Paulette weaves together insights drawn from archaeological remains, ancient works of art, and cuneiform texts. He uses a series of narrative vignettes and thought experiments to interrogate specific pieces of evidence and pull the listener, step-by-step, into the process of analysis and interpretation, explaining exactly what we know and how we know it.
Listeners will come away with a new appreciation for the depth of our knowledge about this early beer-drinking culture, painstakingly pieced together by generations of dedicated scholars."

"Sparks fly between an amateur blacksmith and an outspoken professor with a passion for archery in this heartfelt contemporary romance from the author of Getting His Game Back and Not the Plan.
Mo Sarda carefully guards his peaceful life from other people's messy feelings. He co-parents his daughter with no drama, sits quietly at family gatherings, tends to his beloved plants, and volunteers to teach blacksmith skills at the local Folk School. No one seems to get him, except for his family, and that's completely fine with Mo-there's no one else he needs. Then along comes Jessica Anderson and her damn crossbow.
After the unexpected death of her sister, Jess has made new roots in Michigan to move forward with her life. Her grief still stings, but she's excited to start her professorship job and continue pursuing her passion for archery. Luckily, her new town has a Folk School with ample practice space. Then Jess has a combative run-in with Mo and all her plans to avoid complicated feelings start to crumble. No one should look that hot banging an anvil.
Before long, the two are drawn to work together to save the beloved Folk School from closing its doors. The heat is on them to plan a Renaissance Faire to raise the much-needed funds, but the more worthy pursuit could be the fire growing between them-if only they would be willing to give each other a shot."
"After being publicly humiliated, New York socialite and hotel heiress, Madison Clark, pours out her woes to a psychic. She's given a 'to-go' bag of calming tea that promises relaxation, but instead she wakes up in an unfamiliar crappy apartment with a wallet full of maxed-out credit cards and a bank account balance of zero. Madison returns to the psychic's shop, only to learn the universe—and that freaking cosmic tea—is responsible for the change. The only way to get her (rich) life back is by righting some wrongs, starting with a reconciliation with her estranged father, who is about to get married in Montana.
But things get even more upside-down when she lands in Montana and is picked up from the airport by the annoyingly attractive Jax, who seems to loathe her at first sight. He's expecting the party girl he's seen all over social media and is taken aback when Madison shows up wearing neon overalls and fishing boots. In addition to the many roadblocks of her new life, Madison suddenly finds herself outrunning cows and competing in beer-chugging competitions while attempting parental bonding. The more time she spends in Montana, and the more time she spends with Jax, the more she questions her 'good life'. Just when things are starting to become clear someone shows up unexpectedly, and all bets are off.
Contains mature themes."
"I escaped my Council-ordered execution by the skin of my beak, only to be faced with an even worse situation. My father, the King of Serpent Court, will try to get to me by any nefarious means possible, including hurting my friends.
Meanwhile, the mere presence of the five mates I’ve rejected torments me at every turn. Savage, the unhinged wolf who now seems besotted with me. Scythe, the mob-boss Great White shark whose icy eyes see right through my skin and Xander, the arrogant, sneering dragon.
Then, there’s the powerful, moody Deputy Headmaster of Animus Academy who has his amber eyes fixed right on me. While he says one thing, his body language tells me something completely different. And then one day, I start to receive cryptic texts from a mysterious stranger who’s past-times include watching me sleep and stalking me.

"Faking forever never tasted so sweet.
When Calla Nikolakis gets the cake commission of her dreams, she’s in love… with how much exposure she’ll get from doing ultra-hot lifestyle guru Jay Rustin’s wedding.
Smash cut to twelve hours later. She wakes up buck naked next to Jay, wearing a ring on her finger and sporting a brand-new tattoo. In case anyone’s counting, that’s two bad decisions for the price of one.
The next thing she knows, a viral post of her and Jay saying “I do” spreads like wildfire. Everybody and their mama has seen her become Mrs. Jay Rustin.
Normally, Calla is known for being calm in any situation. But one look into her now-husband’s panty-meltingly blue eyes, and she’s anything but cool and collected. Before she can freak the geek out, Jay makes her a new proposal.
Stay married for three months. Go on a crazy hillbilly honeymoon to appease his sponsors. Convince everyone they’re the real deal.
In exchange, Jay promises to boost her business to guarantee that her bakery stays afloat. She can hardly say no. Besides, with the opportunity to spend weeks sleeping in Jay’s bed… why would she want to decline?
There’s just one thing she promises herself: absolutely no falling in love. No looking at his sculpted muscles as they hike. No peeking beneath the covers just out of curiosity. And absolutely no swooning when he feeds her buttercream with his fingers.
It’s all for show to convince the world they’re a dream couple. It should be no problem… just as long as he doesn’t accidentally love her back.
Trope List: rom-com, woke up married, marriage of convenience, forced proximity, ‘my wife’, jilted groom, plus-sized pastry chef heroine, cinnamon roll IG influencer hero, on the road, opposites attract"
"★★★★★ 'Oh my stars, I loved this novella! This book has a late 80s/early 90s movie feel a la St. Elmo's Fire mixed with a dash of Mystic Pizza.' - Laurie Anne, Goodreads

One exceptionally busy night, each of them wrestles with potentially life-changing choices, all while serving guests at a wedding, searching for a lost dog, protecting hatching sea turtles, and managing a love triangle.
Don't miss this combo sequel to Grey's Boston Classics series and prequel to her new Carolina Classics series. It'll take you from the neon, big-haired 1980's into the boho, laidback 1990's."
"1999 goals: Get a life, get real… and get a room.
No one ever said I was the brightest bulb on the tree, but a near-death experience finally knocks some sense into my thick head.
Luckily, my jerk of an ex washes his hands of me, but I’m left with so many burnt bridges to re-build. Landing a job on any movie or TV show that’ll have me has to be my #1 priority. Thankfully, my life-long friends still love me enough to help.
When the one I always wished could be more than a friend shows up on my doorstep, however, all my good intentions go right out the window. Before I know it, I’ve convinced him that an out-of-town, friends-with-benefits deal will be the perfect way to get over each other.
Is it another in a long line of bad decisions, or a move that'll turn things around? 110 percent, I hope he can handle the truth.
Fans of 90’s TV shows, from Friends to Seinfeld, will love this second chance, friends-to-lovers, retro romance, where a grumpy cinnamon roll hero and a wounded bird heroine vie for a happy-ever-after despite interference from meddling found-family friends."
