Sinopse

Circletown is a strange place, and everyone knows it. People often get lost on well-traveled roads and familiar streets. Maps are useless. Henry is a kid at Circletown Elementary School. Henry is a little strange. He only eats a few things, like milk and white bread. His life changes when his dad suddenly leaves. Henry's mom, Dr. Berniece Baker, needs to work, and gets Henry a babysitter. But Corey Turnbridge is not just any babysitter. She's a top athlete and she fascinates Henry. Henry tags along to her side job at Jet Café. There, with Maru-sensei, owner of the restaurant, they make The Children's Menu. Henry is about to learn a lot about people…and himself.

    Years after a harrowing war experience, ex-mercenary Jespar tre Moreste has taken to drifting. It’s a lonely existence, but barring the occasional bout of melancholia, he has found the closest thing to peace a man like him deserves. Life is “all right.” 
    ​Or so he believes. Hoping to turn the page, Jespar accepts a mysterious invitation into the beautiful but dangerous archipelago of Kilay—and everything changes. Plagued by boiling social tensions and terrorism, the tropical empire is edging ever closer to civil war. Kilay’s merchant king is the only person able to prevent this catastrophe, but he has fallen into a preternatural coma—and it’s Jespar’s task to figure out what or who caused it. As the investigation takes him across the archipelago and into the king’s nightmares, unexpected events not only tie Jespar’s own life to the mystery but also unearth inner demons he believed to be exorcised long ago. 
    ​Battling old trauma while fighting for his life, his sanity, and the fate of Kilay, the line between dream and reality blurs until only one question remains: If your mind is the enemy, where do you run? 
    A slow-burning, riveting blend of fantasy, mystery, and psychological horror, Dreams of the Dying is a deep exploration of mental illness, morality, and the dark sides of humanity.

    Sometimes you don’t choose your destiny. It chooses you. 
    "Idessa Valdon, you are the next Guardian.” 
    I prefer to spend my days snuggling with my boyfriend Tahn or getting ready for the next party. So when I am named the next Guardian of Graenir, I’m horrified. 
    Especially since Guardianship calls for a year of seclusion. So no more parties. No more social life. And no more Tahn. 
    Instead, I’m supposed to spend a boring year guarding a long-forgotten vault that supposedly houses the seven gods who founded the Gifted Lands. 
    But when an earthquake hits Graenir, the Great Seal that holds the imprisoned gods is broken. The gods are released to create havoc all around the Gifted Lands. 
    And it seems that I—unwilling, woefully unprepared Idessa Valdon—am the only one who can stop them. 
    Journey to the Gifted Lands, a fantasy world of seven kingdoms, each known for their own unique power or ability. Heir of Immortals and Empires is the seventh book in the Kingdom Legacy series set in this magical world. Each book features a new character from one of the kingdoms, with appearances from beloved characters from previous novels.

    In a new Yarn Retreat Mystery from national bestselling author Betty Hechtman, it's knit one, kill two when Casey Feldstein hosts a murder mystery weekend that turns into the real thing . . .  
     
     
     
    At the urging of Vista Del Mar's owner, Casey Feldstein takes on the job of combining a murder mystery game with her next weekend yarn retreat. Enlisting the help of the hotel's staff to play the roles of victim and suspects, she lays out a plot and plants some red herrings. And as her intrigued guests watch the murder play out and the clues unfold, Casey is certain she's pulled off the perfect make-believe murder—until a real murder intrudes and everyone at the hotel is named as a suspect. 
     
     
     
    As her retreat guests turn away from the fake murder to solve the real one, Casey has her hands full trying to keep them from meddling in police business. But even as they're dead set on unraveling the mystery in their midst, Casey has her eye on a few of them, some of whom don't seem to be who or what they claim. With time ticking down on her weekend and her guests more interested in nabbing a killer than knitting, Casey will have to stitch together her own solution before the killer can stop her and declare game over . . .

    Campbell gives voice to the extraordinary (never ordinary) men and women of Manchester. He goes beyond the King's English and formulaic approaches to short stories to capture, in print, how people really talk. Think James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, but Mancunian. Funny and heartfelt, this book is a romp to whizz through with pleasure. Forget mad for it Madchester, this is the Manchester of now, where Hacienda clichés turn into corporate nightmares and the only art is in marketing.
