  For fans of Midnight Mass comes a haunting new horromance. Something dreadful is festering in the old Thomas Bog. For years, it's done what it has been taught to do—it swallows. But it's done following orders. 
   
  It's been three years since Mila Thomas's brother Jed went missing and his case went cold. Since then, Mila has fled town, running from the voices of the dead that reach her from the depths of the old family bog, afraid she would hear her brother's among them. 
   
  But when her younger sister, Agatha, calls her back home to celebrate her graduation, Mila can’t help but return to her old haunts. When she arrives, Mila comes face to face with the town reverend, who informs her that Agatha is now also missing. Finding her mother and the local police utterly useless, Mila opens herself up to the voices of the bog in the hopes that they can tell her where her sister is. But something else lurks beneath the bog's waters, something that would sooner hunt her than help her. As more bodies turn up on the sandy shores, Mila must overcome her complicated history with the reverend's estranged son—the boy she never quite got over—to unearth the fate of the town's missing members and the family secrets that may be behind everything.

  “Genius . . . [This] is Bolaño playing with sharp, twisting knives.” —Stacey D’Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review“Imaginative, full of a love for literature, and . . . exceptionally entertaining.” —Michael Dirda, The Washington PostNazi Literature in the Americas is Roberto Bolaño’s vertiginous, Borgesian journey into literature’s most abysmal depths. In this mock encyclopedia of imaginary poets and novelists of the pan-American far right, we are met with a procession of literary mediocrities, sycophants, narcissists, hacks, and criminals, who share the dream of ushering in the Fourth Reich. Their portraits—rendered in sharp chiaroscuro—are every bit as brilliant, menacing, and alive as Bolaño’s finest short stories. Wickedly funny and deep cutting, Nazi Literature in the Americas is also a testament to the awesome power of literature: its capacity for obsession, delusion, and violence.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  REBECCA 
  My life has been a whirlwind of heartbreak, beginning with the death of my brother when I was 18-years-old. He was my best friend. I worked through my grief by writing a book about his life and that book was turned into a movie. 
  That's when I met him. Jensen Boliver, the movie's director. 
  He's younger than me, controlling, and infuriating. 
  For four years, I've denied my attraction to him because every time he shows an ounce of compassion, he takes it away and I refuse to beg for mere crumbs of kindness, no matter how attracted to him I am. 
  Now we're in Hawaii for our friends' wedding. The hotel has lost my reservation...and Jensen shows up with a solution. 
  "You can stay in my suite." 
  JENSEN 
  I grew up fat in fatphobic Hollywood. All my life I was told to hate myself and my body. 
  Then I met her. 
  Rebecca Taylor. She's beautiful, intense, and makes me feel things I've convinced myself I didn't deserve. So, for four years, I let her believe I hated her. 
  I don't. I never did. How could I when she’s everything I’ve ever wanted? 
  Despite my hesitation, our attraction to each other has grown, and last year, we both caved. She let me have a taste, but the timing still wasn’t right. 
  Now we're in Hawaii and sharing my suite, there’s no way this trip ends without her being mine. 
  Rebecca & Jensen are first introduced in Beyond the Bright Lights. While you don't have to read that book to read this one, it is highly recommended. This book has adult themes and deals with difficult topics including fatphobia, bullying, terminal illness (cancer), loss of a sibling, loss of partner, loss of a parent (off page/mentioned), grief, attempted suicide (off page) & suicidal thoughts, addiction & alcoholism, depression, parental abuse (mental), grief, graphic sex

  Strength comes in many different forms.  
   
  Riya Desai and Dhillon Vora grew up together. Sharing secrets, hiding in their tree house, they were playmates, best friends and later—as teenagers—almost something more. Until the devastating house fire that ripped them apart, claiming  
  the life of Dhillon’s father and Riya’s big brother, Samir. Riya and Dhillon have barely spoken since that terrible night, but they both made big decisions based on that fire. 
   
  Riya has chosen to fight fire with everything she’s got, but it’s not easy. As the only female firefighter and one of the only people of color at her fire hall, she has to prove herself over and over. Plus, she’s hidden her career from her family. 
   
  Dhillon wanted to heal things, so he became a veterinarian. When a chance encounter with a rescue dog throws Riya and Dhillon together again, he’s furious at her career choice. After what happened to them, how can she run into fires on  
  purpose? For Riya, Dhillon’s anger is unacceptable: How can he not see that she’s protecting others from the very losses they both experienced? 
   
  The Second First Chance is a big, wonderful, messy love story about family, heartbreak, strength and courage. It shows us that sometimes what we want is what we least expect, and that everything we need is often right in front of us.
