  Now that Stetson Jeff has captured one of A.S.P.'s most dangerous operatives, he's on the trail of The Don. His pursuit of justice takes him to Gibraltar, Bilbao, and Pamplona, the site of Spain's greatest rodeo. Soon enough he's hiking his way across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago, where he encounters a friendly band of modern Vikings. Together they must survive deadly attacks and hike all the way to Valhalla or something. But will Stetson Jeff be able to track down The Don before The Don finds him? And what's really behind A.S.P. and all these shadow government separatist groups? Is Texas going to break with the U.S. of A.? Stetson Jeff must decide for himself: If all men are equal, does that mean just anybody can start their own country whenever they want?

  Cedric Willow is a middle-aged journalist and senior warden at St. Bartholomew by the Lake, a small Episcopal parish in Minneapolis. St. Bart's church is a widely admired icon of mid-century modern architecture, but its congregation is aging and attendance is on the decline. When the incumbent rector resigns, Cedric forms a search committee—a "discernment" committee, in Episcopal parlance—and embarks on a nine-month search for a new spiritual leader. 
  Complicating his task: a bitter feud between two members of the vestry, the fact that he's an atheist, and a disruptive voice in his head called Op Ed. There's also the Church Lady, a mousy junior warden who aspires to his position, who strikes him as pious to a fault, and with whom he is falling in love. 
  Discernment is a novel about trying to do the right thing in a world with no easy answers, and what happens when altruism and self-interest collide.

  Knocking Myself Up - A Memoir of...

  From PEN/America Award winner, 2021 Guggenheim fellow, and beloved literary and tarot icon Michelle Tea, the hilarious, powerfully written, taboo-breaking story of her journey to pregnancy and motherhood as a 40 year-old, queer, uninsured woman 
  Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea’s route to parenthood—with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex in order to carry her younger lover’s baby. 
  With the signature sharp wit and wild heart that have made her a favorite to so many readers, Tea guides us through the maze of medical procedures, frustrations and astonishments on the path to getting pregnant, wryly critiquing some of the systems that facilitate that choice (“a great, punk, daredevil thing to do”). In Knocking Myself Up, Tea has crafted a deeply entertaining and profound memoir, a testament to the power of love and family-making, however complex our lives may be, to transform and enrich us.
