Summary

29-year-old Evie has spent years as the assistant to the glamorous, yet high-maintenance Pim Hardcastle, globetrotting as her one-woman entourage and sacrificing her own Christmases with family and friends back in London.
Now having secured her dream job in Toronto to start after the holidays, Evie is finally going to be home for Christmas, and her best friends Megan and Josh have put together a bucket list of the capital's most festive activities to enjoy before she jets off permanently.
But when Evie encounters the world's cutest busker outside a Christmas market, she starts to wonder whether her last Christmas in London might be the start of something else entirely…

    I've spent my whole damn life making the wrong calls. Not that anyone ever notices—whether on the track or back home, I'm always in the shadow of my perfect big brother. But anonymity has its perks sometimes...like when the firmly off-limits ex of my biggest rival finally looks my way. Chiara Martes—gorgeous, smart, funny, legs just made to wrap around your waist, and a smile that makes my heart race faster than anything. She claims she's just looking for some fun on the side, and I'm exactly the kind of man who can give it to her. But off-the-charts sexual chemistry (hooking up here, there, everywhere we won't get caught...and some places we might) turns into unexpected feelings we've got to keep secret no matter the cost. And somehow, before we know it, this desperate thing between us is threatening to destroy us all.

    While riding his bicycle in the Miskatonic Valley of rural New England, a genealogist seeks shelter from an approaching storm. He enters an apparently abandoned house, only to find it occupied by a "loathsome old, white-bearded, and ragged man", speaking in "an extreme form of Yankee dialect... thought long extinct." The narrator notices that the house is full of antique books, exotic artifacts, and furniture predating the American Revolution. At first, the old man appears harmless and ignorant towards his guest. However, he shows a disquieting fascination for an engraving in a rare old book, Regnum Congo, and admits to the narrator how it made him hunger for "victuals I couldn't raise nor buy"- presumably human flesh. It's suggested that the old man was murdering travelers who stumbled upon the house to satisfy his "craving", and has extended his own life preternaturally through cannibalism.[4] Soon, a now frightened narrator realizes the old man has been alive for over a century. Still, the old man denies he ever acted upon such a desire. Suddenly, a drop of blood falls from the ceiling, clearly coming from the floor above, and splashes a page in the book. The narrator then looks up to see a spreading red stain on the ceiling; this belies the old man's statement. At that moment, a bolt of lightning destroys the house. Fortunately, the narrator survives to tell of his ordeal.

    Ruby used to be a fiery, sexy, musical genius. But when she got pregnant as a teenager in the 90s, her life took a turn into banality. Now a middle-aged Indo-Canadian woman, she feels unseen and unheard by her white husband and struggles to communicate with her mixed-race daughter. When she discovers her husband cheating, she embarks on a quest to unearth exciting secrets from her past. To find what she needs, she drives straight into B.C.’s raging wildfires, accompanied only by the fantastical stories her mother used to tell about their ancient Mughal ancestry — a dancer named Rubina who lived in the concubine quarters of the great Agra Fort. This book is at once historical fiction and political romance, deftly navigating themes of mixed-race relationships, climate change, motherhood, body shame, death and the passage of time.

    What would you surrender for a love that asks for everything? 
     
    When a young fisherman draws a beautiful mermaid from the sea, he becomes captivated by her songs and the mysterious world beneath the waves. She loves him in return—but no human may join her underwater while burdened with a soul. 
     
    Determined to remain with her, the fisherman seeks a forbidden way to separate his soul from his body. With the help of a witch and a dark ritual, he casts the soul away and descends beneath the sea to live beside the one he loves. 
     
    But the abandoned Soul does not disappear. Year after year, it returns with extraordinary tales and tempting gifts, offering wisdom, wealth, and earthly pleasure in exchange for reunion. The fisherman refuses each temptation until one moment of curiosity draws him back onto the land—and allows his heartless Soul to reclaim him. 
     
    Lyrical, haunting, and deeply symbolic, The Fisherman and His Soul is Oscar Wilde’s unforgettable meditation on love, conscience, desire, temptation, and the terrible price of sacrificing part of oneself. 
     
    Beautifully narrated by Myriam Berger, this literary fairy tale carries listeners into a dreamlike world of mermaids, magic, longing, and tragedy.
