  Brother Hermitage's Christmas Gift

  In a modest little tale for the season, Brother Hermitage heads for London. 
  William Duke of Normandy is to be crowned King of England on Christmas day 1066, and he expects presents. 
  For reasons beyond reason the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle is invited to the ceremony and the only ones who can be let out on their own are Brother Hermitage and Wat the Weaver. 
  But it will be a rush to get there. With only 7 days to travel over 100 miles, the pair must cross a frozen and largely lawless country if they are to make it to Westminster alive. 
  And then there's the problem of Wat's attitude towards gifts in principle. He doesn't mind a reasonable exchange but simply giving sounds like a very poor deal. 
  Perhaps the days of the journey will give Brother Hermitage the opportunity to breathe the spirit of the season into his weaving friend. 
  Or perhaps not.

  All my life, I’ve trained to kill shifters, and now I’m one of them. 
  My parents were murdered by wild packs, but the Lux Academy saved me and raised me among other orphans like me. They taught me about the shifters’ cruelty and how to destroy them. 
  But everything changes when the Academy turns on me, and I escape only to get captured by the packs. 
  They think I’m a shifter and an alpha, no less. They want me to lead a powerful group of sexy werewolves, one of which thinks I’m his fated mate. But I want nothing to do with them, especially the one that keeps insisting he'll make me his. 
  A dark truth will come to life. My dreams will be destroyed. And one thing is for sure, my life will never be the same. 
  If you enjoy paranormal romance and shifters, you will love this *COMPLETE* series.

  The Rapture of the Nerds

  Welcome to the fractured future, at the dusk of the twenty-first century. 
  Earth has a population of roughly a billion hominids. For the most part, they are happy with their lot. Those who are unhappy have emigrated, joining the swarming densethinker clades that fog the inner solar system with a dust of molecular machinery so thick it obscures the sun.  
  The splintery metaconsciousness of the solar system has largely sworn off its pre-post-human cousins dirtside, but its minds sometimes wander … and when that happens, it casually spams Earth's networks with plans for cataclysmically disruptive technologies that emulsify whole industries, cultures, and spiritual systems. A sane species would ignore these get-evolved-quick schemes, but there's always someone who'll take a bite from the forbidden apple. 
  So until the overminds bore of stirring Earth's anthill, there's Tech Jury Service: random humans, selected arbitrarily, charged with assessing dozens of new inventions and ruling on whether to let them loose. Young Huw, a technophobic, misanthropic Welshman, has been selected for the latest jury, a task he does his best to perform despite an itchy technovirus, the apathy of the proletariat, and a couple of truly awful moments on bathroom floors. 
  The Rapture of the Nerds is a brilliant collaboration by Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross, two of the defining personalities of post-cyberpunk science fiction.

  A contemporary gothic from an author in the company of Kelly Link and Aimee Bender, Mr. Splitfoot tracks two women in two times as they march toward a mysterious reckoning. 
  Ruth and Nat are orphans, packed into a house full of abandoned children run by a religious fanatic. To entertain their siblings, they channel the dead. Decades later, Ruth’s niece Cora finds herself accidentally pregnant. After years of absence, Aunt Ruth appears, mute and full of intention. She is on a mysterious mission, leading Cora on an odyssey across the entire state of New York on foot. Where is Ruth taking them? Where has she been? And who—or what—has she hidden in the woods at the end of the road? 
  In an ingeniously structured dual narrative, two separate timelines move toward the same point of crisis. Their merging will upend and reinvent the whole. A subversive ghost story that is carefully plotted and elegantly constructed, Mr. Splitfoot will set your heart racing and your brain churning. Mysteries abound, criminals roam free, utopian communities show their age, and the mundane world intrudes on the supernatural—and vice versa.

  Coexisting with a demon is going to take more than a meditation playlist and good intentions. 
  These days, I’m training hard core. My only accessories are bladed weapons and bruised ribs. It’s a price I’m willing to pay if it means staying in control. 
  Unfortunately, Frederick Masterson has been just as busy building his hybrid army. Every day I’m here training, more shifters go missing. Worse, I find out my BFF has gone off grid. And now I’m having visions warning me about what’s coming. It’s long past time to take the fight to him. 
  Even with more than sewing skills in my arsenal, I’m not sure it will be enough. To stop the supernatural war that’s brewing, I’ll have to embrace my inner demon. I just hope I don’t lose my soul in the process. 
  Gathering the Dead is the fourth book in the complete Kali James series, featuring a reluctant necromancer who finds herself in a world of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. If you like your urban fantasy with quirky characters, a side of supernatural mystery, and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.
