  If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
  Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
  Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
  Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
  In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

  For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories. 
  My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions. 
  “Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides 
  "In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test

  The uplifting love story, guaranteed to make you smile from the bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
  Wedding planner Madeleine lives in a picture-perfect thatched cottage, in a picture-perfect English country village. 
  There’s only one problem - dream cottages take a lot of work, and with a leaking roof, and not enough money to pay for it, what Maddie needs now is a big wedding to plan. 
  So she’s delighted when she takes on the wedding of Californian heiress Peyton, to all-round good guy Patrick. She’s less delighted to find out that she's going to have help – from the admittedly gorgeous, but equally maddening, tall, dark and handsome best man Lorcan. 
  The wedding is set to take place in a castle in rural Ireland, and so, in no time, Maddie and Lorcan are on their way to Ballalee. Life hasn’t always been easy for Maddie, and work has become her refuge. But soon the warmth and humour of Lorcan’s Irish family and friends start to chip away at Maddie’s walls. And as the big day approaches, it might be time for Maddie to focus less on her clients’ love life and more on her own…

  Halycon Sage, founder of the Post-Modernist Minimalist Neo-Symbolist Pseudo-Realist School of Literature, has voluntarily disappeared. He is hoping to save the world but is also fleeing the Mail Pile. Sage, a person of mystery who may be a Native American male, meets some odd characters: Petulant critic Basel Vasselschnauzer, confused genius Alexander Preisczech, a Romani woman, assorted gang members and secret agents, and a shadowy figure of evil. Sage has a faithful equine companion, No-Name Stupid (the original "Horse with No Name"). But even with Stupid's dedicated assistance, can the great quest succeed? And will Boo Radley Goes Hawaiian ever be written? This Third Edition, retitled The Way Beyond, includes revised material that brings the reader deeper into the story. You may get lost in this deceptively simple novel.
