  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  There are books that awaken the intellect, books that stir the heart—and then, rarest of all, there are books that shift the fabric of reality, that open quiet doors in the mind through which something older, stranger, and more beautiful begins to seep in. A Dreamer’s Tales is such a book. In these pages, Lord Dunsany does not merely tell stories. He conjures realms beneath reason, cities where time is a superstition, and gods born from silence. His prose drifts like a high wind across ancient deserts and forgotten shores, guided less by plot than by intuition and symbol, as if each tale were a parable from some lost scripture of the stars. Published in 1910, these stories were not written for a world of algorithms and deadlines—but perhaps that is precisely why they matter more now than ever. In their refusal to explain or obey, they invite the reader to remember something primal: that the imagination is not just escapism, but a dimension unto itself, with its own landscapes, dangers, and truths. To read Dunsany is to remember how to dream on purpose.

  A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the YearA Los Angeles Times Book Review Favorite Book of the YearSince her girlhood, Prudence Winship has gazed across the tidal straits from her home in Brooklyn to the city of Manhattan and yearned to bridge the distance. Now, established as the owner of the enormously successful gin distillery she inherited from her father, she can begin to realize her dream.Set in eighteenth-century Brooklyn, this is the story of a determined and intelligent woman who is consumed by a vision of a bridge: a gargantuan construction of timber and masonry she devises to cross the East River in a single, magnificent span. With the help of the local surveyor, Benjamin Horsfield, and her sisters—the high-spirited, obstreperous Tem, who works with her in the distillery, and the silent, uncanny Pearl—she fires the imaginations of the people of Brooklyn and New York by promising them a bridge that will meet their most pressing practical needs while being one of the most ambitious public works ever attempted. Prue's own life and the life of the bridge become inextricably bound together as the costs of the bridge, both financial and human, rise beyond her direst expectations.Brookland confirms Emily Barton's reputation as one of the finest writers of her generation, whose work is "blessedly post-ironic, engaging and heartfelt" (Thomas Pynchon).

  You can't cast shadows in darkness. 
  It's the start of my second year of graduate school at Hawthorne University. (I wasn't canned, okay?) Bryce and our dean organize an orientation meeting to recruit witches. Yep, it's time to teach Alondra's "honors" program. 
  Everything goes fine until that slithery snake-witch, Adder, barges into my home. She claims I'm cursing her master, Enora, haunting the dreams of her Abaddon coven. I'm not. Honest. But sometimes Alondra pops up inside me, acting outside of my control. 
  We hold a séance to ask the ghost possessing me to go away. I don’t see ghosts or spirits. I see evil. But you know, it’s funny, no one else seems to. 
  My sole mastery of necromancy might just be enough to protect Bryce and my unborn baby—or save my greatest adversary. 
  Cadence Hawthorne returns in this sixth book in the Hawthorne University Witch series.  
  Content Warning: Shadow Cast contains profanity, sex, adult situations and, of course, witchcraft.

  Amid the woolen mill shadows of Threadhaven, where knitters loop riddles into yarn and wool merchants bargain with threads of the unknown, knitter Lila tangles a clue with merchant Garrick, whose deals conceal a pattern of pilfered designs. Their yarn, looped in thread vows and bargain-kissed needles, untangles truth—or snarls in woolen knots of deceit. As they unravel through shadow-laced looms and clue-bound spools, tangled by yarn wardens and pattern rivals, Lila's knitting craft merges with Garrick's merchant cunning, unveiling a woolen legend of knitted revelation. When a snagged thread summons moth illusions, they must loop the clue to weave the end. In the riddle of knitted yarns, where every loop hints at solution and every bargain reveals a twist, their soft mystery becomes the pattern that binds the mill's secrets.
