From #1 New York Times bestseller Julie Murphy comes a heartfelt and hilarious tale of a woman who thinks life and love have passed her by until she’s thrown into her grandmother’s quirky world of octogenarian free love and gets a second chance with the one man she never expected to see again. Perhaps it’s never too late to play the opening credits …

Welcome to Starlight Palms, a favorite retirement facility among Hollywood actors and industry professionals tucked away just outside of sunny Palm Springs. Filled with forgotten scream queens, eccentric screenwriters and heartthrobs of the past, it has a brand-new resident: Vera Stein, age forty.

Vera knows she’s missed her chance at a life worthy of the silver screen, just like she missed her chance at ever finding true love. But Vera isn’t one to take chances. She’s spent most of her adult years caretaking for her dying mother and her movie star boss’s ego. Now abruptly houseless and jobless, Vera has nowhere to land, so to grandmother’s house we go!

The Starlight Palms Senior Living Center is midcentury Hollywood down to its pastel-painted bones. This desert gem isn’t lacking in saucy plot twists (swinging seniors, anyone?) or a leading man: Elias Buckley, the on-site doctor and Vera’s former ill-fated college fling and — for reasons that will stay in Vegas — legally her ex-husband according to the state of Nevada.

It’s not long before Vera falls into a job as the activities coordinator and under the spell of a certain smart-mouthed doctor… Suddenly all those empty years in LA look less like mistakes and a lot more like backstory. With a fresh start at her fingertips, Vera begins to see that even with all the detours she’s taken, there’s still a Hollywood ending (and maybe even a happily ever after) in sight…

A hockey player and a grad student are on thin ice until they meet their match in this sexy romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson.

Jack Baker is on top of the world now that he’s back on the rink where he belongs. But the high comes crashing down when he reinjures his arm immediately following his return to the ice, and this time, he might never be able to play again. After a lifetime as the strong, happy hockey guy whose sister needed him, Jack is left questioning everything he knows about himself.

Abigail Thompson feels like she’s hit rock bottom. It’s only been a few months since the massive scandal that finally severed the cord between her and her narcissistic father. And now, in her last weeks of grad school, she’s been kicked out of her building with very short notice. The last thing she wants to do is ask her half-brother for help after what she’s put him through, but it’s looking like his best friend’s spare room might be her only choice.

Jack is flighty, flirty and a little full of himself — all the things Abby’s learned to avoid in men. However, spending every day together breaks the ice between them, and she starts to realize that Jack might not be who he seems. It’s possible that maybe, just maybe, he might be struggling as much as she is. Soon, confiding in each other leads to falling into bed, and this fling will either play with their hearts or score them the ultimate goal of love. Perfect for fans of hockey romances like Heated Rivalry.

A booty call gone wrong turns into the most amazing conversation ever. Now can she tell him who she really is? A charming romance from the bestselling author of Ready or Not and Promise Me Sunshine — first time in print in the U.S.!

It’s officially booty o’clock and Jessie is alone again in her kitchen, choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and she’s pretty sure she just got drunk texted by the man she has a ginormous crush on.

She’s been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though she’s sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on hers.

It’s the middle of the night, and she just wants to talk to him. So she texted him back. And then somehow they keep talking … ALL NIGHT. They’re both insomniacs, so talking all night soon turns into talking EVERY night. And talking about nothing soon turns into talking about something. And here they go from in-depth analysis of reality TV to her relationship with her family, to his amazing artwork. There’s no topic they don’t cover …

Except for who she really is. It’s the only question of his she won’t answer.

As Jessie’s crush turns into an avalanche of Eliot, she thinks of him all the time now. But if he knew who she was, the entire house of cards they’ve built this relationship on would come toppling down. She wants him to be hers, but they might never be more than just a sweet dream …

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE SUMMER BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE BOSTON GLOBE, HARPER’S BAZAAR, AND MORE“One of the great writers of our time.” —Los Angeles Times

The first ever collection of short stories from the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend

Over the course of 30 years, Sigrid Nunez has become one of contemporary fiction’s most distinctive voices, producing nine penetrating, profound novels celebrated by fans and critics alike. Revered for their warm, unadorned style, Nunez’s books are “as sophisticated as they are straightforward” (New York Times Magazine), melding a “wry, withering wit” (NPR) with “explosions of pathos” (Washington Post) to conjure “world[s] of insight into death, grief, art, and love” (Wall Street Journal).

But she has not, until now, produced a book of stories. In It Will Come Back to You, Nunez brings together thirteen of her best stories from the decades-long sweep of her career, tracing the origins of her style and her remarkable artistic range. Moving from the momentous to the mundane, Nunez maintains her expert balance between gravity and levity while probing the philosophical questions that illuminate her work.

What New York Times critic Dwight Garner says of Nunez’s novels is true of these stories as well: “They are … wise, provocative, funny — good and strong company.”

In this witty, absurd, and surprisingly moving memoir-in-essays, comedian Alison Leiby unpacks the multitudes women are told to be — and the joy of refusing to pick just one. “Alison Leiby is the Jewish millennial David Sedaris. Reading this book was like having a glass of wine with your funniest, smartest, and coolest friend.” — Bess Kalb, author of Nobody Will Tell You This But Me

Have you ever frozen when someone asks, “So, tell me about yourself?” If so, take a page from I’m a Lot. Alison Leiby proudly embraces the identities we’re often encouraged to hide: Housewives stan. Discount shopaholic. Former jock. Happily single. Childless by choice and proud cat mom. Through these different roles and identities, Leiby reveals her hard-earned wisdom about what it’s like to be a woman who does it all (except for the things that make her say “uh, no thank you”).

When she was 19 years old, a complication from back surgery left Leiby on her deathbed. After a surprising recovery, you might assume Leiby was ready to seize life by the you-know-whats. But instead of letting this one miraculous experience define her, Leiby’s brush with death made her realize there is nothing more beautiful in this life than just getting to be yourself. And while women are still expected to conform to many patriarchal labels, Leiby ignores the pressure to be palatable and instead champions all the joyful, weird, and complicated selves she brings to the world.

In 14 personal essays full of deadpan jokes, tender moments of candid introspection, and insightful social commentary, Leiby encourages us to ditch the manufactured Instagram persona and embrace the fact that sometimes the puzzle pieces don’t always fit to create a perfect picture, but that doesn’t mean we are incomplete.

An intimate memoir portraying a life spent trying to describe the indescribable, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours and DayGo ahead. Try using language to slit the skin of mortality to see what’s on the other side.

At the age of three, Michael Cunningham began obsessively collecting the names of things: oak, Chevrolet, finch, tulip, Tupperware. … Each word rendered the world ever so slightly more understandable, more describable, kicking off a lifelong love affair with language–one that would, eventually, maybe inevitably, lead him to become a writer.

In Unsayable, Cunningham’s memories spill forth, and with them reflections on the craft of writing. He is 15, in a swimming pool at night, gazing at the first boy he ever fell in love with, who is lost in contemplative silence. He is a new college graduate, setting off for nowhere in a Dodge Dart, hoping to pull meaning (and a novel) from the expanse of America. He is on Cape Cod, regaling an elderly couple with invented tales of sexual escapades. He is in an art gallery, unwittingly having the first in a lifetime of conversations with the man he would marry. A thread ties each beautifully wrought moment to the next: what is unspoken, what won’t yield to language, what is embellished beyond recognition, what is still left to say.

Luminous, perceptive, and powerful, Unsayable is an ode to literature, a meditation on craft, and an intimate account of a life spent trying to put into words that which resists depiction. This, it turns out, is the lifeblood of the fiction writer: the impossibility of capturing the human experience, and the relentless desire to try.

A collection of reported stories that explore the relationship between mothers and daughters, from the finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing for her work in The New Yorker.

You Won’t Get Free of It tells the stories of mothers and daughters searching for each other and for themselves. Rachel Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in The New Yorker and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book. “I wrote some of these stories feeling, existentially, like a daughter, and now I have returned to them with a different identification,” Aviv writes. “It was as if I had failed to see the drama on the mother’s side, too — her particular longings and humiliations and needs.”

Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people’s children. In the final story, a daughter’s traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother, the writer Alice Munro, in stories celebrated around the world. You Won’t Get Free of It is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship. Illuminating ineffable registers of experience, Aviv reckons with the way that disowned knowledge forms and deforms families and lives.

Have you suffered a loss? How was your life changed by the grief you experienced? Did you feel like your grief was properly acknowledged? Mourning is a personal experience and shouldn’t be judged. There are no do-overs in death, but there are do-betters.

All My Dead Cats is not a book about pet loss. You will meet award-winning journalist and debut author S.E. smith’s cats and read small slices of their stories. Their vignettes serve as an opening to scary conversations about loss, so grief can feel less intimidating and more relatable.

This is a book about grief and mourning as collective activities best undertaken in community. S.E. interviews dozens of experts, from death doulas to funeral home directors to therapists and psychologists. and discusses the different stages of grief. The shared perspectives help us understand that grief is not fixable but it can be livable. They teach us that if we have the courage, which begins with honest conversations about how we navigate grief, then we can learn how to do better.

After reading you’ll better understand:

• Disenfranchised grief and how you can be part of the solution and not the problem
• How to be an advocate for people subjected to trauma and violence
• The stages of grief and how to process your experiences

Grief is not over once the body is neatly disposed of, the rubble of the house has been taken away in dumpsters, the final fit on the prosthesis is done, the law is passed and withstands legal challenges, or when the permanent peace is brokered. It is an ongoing shift in our relationship to the world, and one that deserves attention and care as well as time and space to be amongst fellow mourners, to whom we do not need to justify or explain, because they understand where we are.

Readers will feel seen rather than being chastised for how they grieve and better understand how to process mourning and how to help others. All My Dead Cats provides an entry point, by beginning the conversation about a beloved pet, so readers can think about the larger stakes of death and live a more fulfilled life.

A clinical psychologist’s roadmap from a near-fatal accident to a life of spirit-led oneness.

“Dr. Williams offers a thoughtful bridge between professional rigor and firsthand experience … Spirit Guided invites a serious reconsideration of whole realms of existence.” – Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of The Science of Magic

What happens when a clinical psychologist loses everything, only to find an extraordinary connection with the invisible world?

After a near-fatal accident shattered her old life, Dr. Catherine Anne Williams, PhD, opened a door to a wise spirit guide named Meera. In Spirit Guided, Catherine moves beyond clinical theories to share her raw, personal transformation from addiction and self-seeking to a life of profound Oneness.

This isn’t a book about “special gifts” only a few have. It’s about the spiritual abilities that we all possess. By weaving together the hard science of the brain with ancient wisdom, Dr. Williams offers a practical masterclass in clearing the noise of cultural conditioning so you can live from your true spiritual center.

In this book, you will discover:

• How neuroscience and spiritual alignment work together to heal the body and soul
• The story of spirit guide Meera and how you too can access your own guidance system
• Practical tools for clearing the clutter of cultural conditioning and limiting beliefs
• A raw, lived experience guide for shifting from self-seeking to source-aligning
• Step-by-step guidance on how to develop your own innate spiritual senses

Whether you are recovering from trauma, seeking a deeper intuition, or looking to connect intellect and soul, Spirit Guided shows that you don’t need a miracle to find your way to oneness. You just need to remember how to listen.

Explore the diversity of life expression at the highest level of sacredness through a trio of planetary energies.

The three astrological outer planets may be understood as three sides of one consciousness: a Holy Trinity of spiritual qualities with Freedom (Uranus), Creativity (Neptune), and Evolution (Pluto). Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto offers a way to recalibrate our perception of these major forces of change, underlining their contribution to our path of spiritual development. James Burgess and Julia Sophia offer a central innovation: a new midpoint calculation, the Trinity Point, in astrological analysis that encourages a novel way of looking at the outer planets’ transpersonal functions, serving as guidance for individual spiritual practices and self-realization. By engaging with these energies consciously, readers can realize their highest spiritual potential.

Providing relevant case studies, the book draws upon Sufi cosmology as well as Sabian symbols to broaden and deepen the analysis of the Trinity Point. This is accompanied by a comprehensive transit analysis, listing all major transits of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto relating to the luminaries and angles.

In Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, we learn how the Holy Trinity is a tool, a process, and a teaching with the power to remind us that we are constantly given opportunities to affirm light.

A powerful act of remembrance and resistance, 70,000 transforms cultural erasure into a living, breathing archive of grief, memory, and hope.

70,000 is a visceral and inventive poetry collection inspired by the removal of approximately 70,000 books from Palestinian homes and private libraries before and during the events of 1948. Of those books, most have not been returned; about 6,000 remain housed in Israeli national collections, where they are largely inaccessible to Palestinians.

In response to this loss of cultural and intellectual heritage, Lenna Jawdat began handwriting the numbers one to 70,000, choosing to imagine each number as a book. Trained as a trauma therapist, she documented the emotional and physical experience of this ritual, tracing the grief, reverence, and endurance that surfaced through the process. This full-color book unfolds through three interwoven threads: the numbers themselves, reflections on the act of writing, and a personal and familial poetic narrative expressed in both image and verse. Together, they form a fragmented yet powerful archive, blending poetry, memoir, maps, documents, and collage.

70,000 is an embodied meditation on cultural displacement, memory, and resilience. What begins as a personal act of witnessing becomes a collective gesture toward remembrance, continuity, and the possibility of healing.

Winner of the 2025 Louise Bogan Award, Reuben Gelley Newman’s Dear Dear renders queer love through the lens of music, art, nature, and politics. Drawing on artists from Bach to Mitski, Gelley Newman flirts with nostalgia but refuses to dwell in the past, asking how remembering our ancestors can reinvigorate our present struggles. In these poems, sound becomes the language of desire and self-expression: “I want to do better / I want to be the husband of the song.” Combining playful sonnets and earnest narratives, Dear Dear searches for belonging in our grief-stricken world.

A bestselling collection of poetry exploring themes of masculinity, love, grief and connection, from British poet and viral phenomenon Lucas Jones. For fans of Yung Pueblo, Hussain Manawer, and Whitney Hanson. “Eviscerating and tender all at once, this book is impossible to read without feeling.” ― David Larbi, author of Frequently Happy

How do you respond to fear, grief, heartbreak, loss, and injustice in a world that seems more divided than ever?

A tribute to a search for meaning in difficult times, these poems are a remarkable homage to the beautiful humanity of choosing to love despite it all.

“[Lucas] is a one-off, a genius, a master of thought and communication. And we very much need his light. Lucas Jones’s words will help you to heal. Let them cut you open and stitch you back up again, but better.” ― Donna Ashworth, author of I Wish I Knew

From Instagram phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of poems exploring themes of identity, loss, and what it means to rediscover yourself

The love of my life is a poetry collection that traces the process of rediscovering a love of life after change, disconnection, and personal upheaval. Using the metaphor of fires, the book is structured in three sections — Burning, Ashes, and Reclamation — to reflect the cycles of destruction, numbness, and renewal that accompany deep inner work.

Through themes of identity, loss, healing, and emotional reconstruction, the collection explores what it means to unlearn inherited beliefs, confront the weight of the past, and slowly rebuild a relationship with oneself, others, and the world. This is a book not primarily about romantic love but about reengaging with life by confronting the past and reconnecting with a sense of self.

A poet watches the limbs of a eucalyptus tree get sawed off: the image persists, refracting and recurring across poems of art, language, selfhood, memory, and loss.

Joan Mitchell said, When I talk about love, I mean loving a tree. When I talk about love, I mean loving where a tree used to be.

Men assess the eucalyptus tree growing on the poet’s street; a crane arrives. The sound of a chainsaw rings in the air and branches begin to fall. This tree-cutting haunts the poet and becomes the locus from which the rest of the collection spirals. It refracts across works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell, and Hilma af Klint, whose painting series lends the collection its title and who becomes a model for engaging with the world. At the core of the collection, the long poem “Eureka” examines the violent 1885 expulsion of Chinese Americans from the eponymous California town. Roving, evocative, and intricate, Tree of Knowledge is rooted in Victoria Chang’s crystalline voice and generous, probing gaze, and by certain images — trees, a hanging figure, a branch, fingertips, a briefcase — that resurface like apparitions.

From the all-time bestselling mind behind Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, 300, and Sin City, Push the Wall is part memoir, part master class for budding artists and writers by one of the greatest living creators whose work has influenced pop culture for decades.

Frank Miller is our greatest living comic book writer and artist. He shares his life, and through, his artistic process. Miller’s artistic influence is evident in so very much of our popular culture, perhaps most notably with Batman — every film adaptation from the past 40 years has been influenced by Miller’s work with the dark knight.

Simply, Frank Miller has transformed the way comics are told.

Here, Frank’s mix of autobiographical lessons evokes Patti Smith’s Just Kids as it weaves his struggles as a seventeen-year-old kid fresh from Vermont into a seedy 1970s New York City with his eventual success on reimagining Daredevil and Wolverine. From there to Miller’s rescue and revitalization of Batman, to his time in Hollywood, the Sin City comics and film adaptations he would codirect, and the retelling of the Spartans’ last stand in 300. Miller, by constantly challenging himself as an artist and writer on his terms, built an iconoclastic career.

With over a dozen illustrations of Miller’s art, Push the Wall is the work of his career. It’s a masterclass as it encapsulates his life in sixteen lessons for the aspiring creative reader.
