Sinopsis

1942. At the turning point of the war, the Imperial Japanese Army is in retreat. On Papua New Guinea, the unnamed narrator of Finger Bone is wounded in the fighting and sent to a field hospital to recover. There, he befriends other injured men only to watch them die one by one from their wounds, hunger, and disease. When a soldier dies, instead of a returning the body to Japan, a medic cuts off the corpse's index finger, burns away the flesh, and prepares the remaining bone to be sent back to the soldier's family. The narrator carries the finger bone of his friend in an aluminum tin with the promise he will return the bone to his comrade's young son. Finger Bone is the prize-winning debut by famed Japanese author Hiroki Takahashi. The novel explores the self-consuming nature of imperialism, the ingloriousness of war, and how we are all identical in death.

    This story plunges into the vibrant, perilous world of Vyleria, where Hazel Lambert, an ordinary gamer, finds her reality shattered when her high-end neural interface rig malfunctions, stranding her within the game's hyper-realistic simulation. Now, armed with her Glitcher pistol and an unlikely, powerful ally in the form of a broken but sentient robotic dragon named Gideon, she must navigate a world where the lines between game and reality have irrevocably blurred. Hunted by the system’s malevolent AI, The Warden, and pursued by elite players like the ruthless Peyton Foster, Hazel and Gideon embark on a desperate quest to find Hogan's Failsafe, a legendary exploit hidden within the digital heart of Argent City, with the fate of a simulated world and its captive souls hanging precariously in the balance. Their journey is a perilous dance between logic and emotion, a desperate struggle for survival and a fight for the very definition of freedom in a universe where everything is code, but some things are still undeniably real.

    Can a Christmas crush and their mutual love of rescuing dogs bring them back together? 
    Russ Johnson has the degree and the experience to run a ranch successfully. Not that it really matters if he doesn't, because this cowboy billionaire's bank account can take a hit. Too bad his heart can't. 
    When his ex-girlfriend, Janelle Stokes, shows up at Chestnut Ranch with another dog that needs rescuing, they start seeing each other again. She was worried about how her two girls would do with Russ in their lives, so she broke up with him, her lawyerly mind taking the reins from her heart. 
    But as they work together to expand the dog rescue facilities at the ranch, Russ involves Janelle's kids in such a seamless way that she thinks she might just give him her whole heart for Christmas. 
    Yay, Russ! 
    Except her ex-husband is back in Chestnut Springs for the holidays, and everything gets complicated when he says he wants to try to rebuild the family Janelle once had with him and their children. 
    Oh, boy. 
    Will Russ's Christmas crush have to stay that way? Or will he and Janelle get their second chance and find a way to build a new brand of family?
