I'm Not the Hero! Volume 2

Summary

I’ve got a bit of a confession to make—I’ve been in the world of BB for a few months now, and I still haven’t found the true protagonist. There isn’t a ton of time to lose either, not when we only have three years to prepare to defeat Rasulfi and save the world. Don’t worry though, I’ve got a plan: I’m gonna train Radd and his party of rookies up so they can take care of it all for me!
 
Step one was to have them subjugate their first dungeon, but now it’s time for them to conquer something bigger—Freelea’s coliseum. With the tournament for the title of strongest fighter only a month away, I’ll have to use my game knowledge to the fullest to prepare them for battle! I’ll take advantage of my Analyze skill to check out people’s stats, use items to seize the upper hand against enemies, and even utilize dungeon traps to create the perfect conditions for grinding! But even so, will I really be able to make the kids strong enough to defeat Nirva, the current champion of the coliseum?

Inverno

Cynthia Zarin

Caroline waited for fifteen minutes in the snow. After a little time had passed, she was simply waiting to see what would happen. It was entirely possible he would not come. If he did not come, she would be in a different story than the one she had imagined, but it was possible, she knew, to imagine anything. 
 
 
 
Inverno is a love story that stretches across decades. Inverno is also the story of Caroline, waiting in Central Park in a snowstorm for her phone to ring, yards from where, thirty years ago, Alastair, as a boy, hid in the trees. Will he call? Won't he? The story moves the way the mind does: years flash by in an instant—now we are in the perilous world of fairy tale, now stranded anew in childhood, with its sorrows and harsh words. Ever present are the complicated negotiations of the heart. 
 
 
 
This brilliantly original novel by Cynthia Zarin, author of An Enlarged Heart, is a kaleidoscope in which the past and the present shatter. Elliptical and inventive in the mode of Elizabeth Hardwick's Sleepless Nights, Inverno is miraculous and startling. It asks, How does love make and unmake a life?

The Player's Brain - Love and...

Antônio Afonso Ferreira De Salles

This book challenges the very foundation of traditional medicine with a controversial and fascinating idea: using neurosurgical intervention and behavior modification to reintegrate sociopaths into modern society. Written in accessible language, it explores the groundbreaking work of Dr. Antônio De Salles, who pioneers this approach at the intersection of medicine, science, technology, and human interaction.
 
The book’s thought-provoking content makes it a must-read for students and academics across various disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities. It illuminates the complex medical, technical, and moral implications of this sensitive issue, encouraging readers to grapple with the ethical questions raised by this emerging field of study.
 
“The field of psychosurgery promises to change how we think about science and mental illness. Already, brain surgery is safe enough, and implants are sophisticated enough, for alteration of the brain to be accepted as mainstream therapy.”

Let Her Go (A Fiona Red FBI...

Blake Pierce

When a new serial killer strikes, the FBI, stumped, turns to its brilliant forensic examiner and entomologist, Fiona Red, with her unparalleled genius and ability to offer insights at crime scenes based on her insect expertise. When another victim turns up in a stretch of rural woods covered in unusual bugs, Fiona knows right away that something doesn’t add up. In this master game of wits, Fiona may have finally met her match.

“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

LET HER GO is book #1 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.

Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having ran a funeral parlor, and she would have ran the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.

Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.

With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.

But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love.

Redburn : His First Voyage

Herman Melville

First published in 1849, Redburn: His First Voyage is a richly detailed coming-of-age novel by Herman Melville that draws heavily from the author's own early experiences at sea.

The story follows Wellingborough Redburn, a young and inexperienced boy who leaves home to work aboard a merchant ship sailing from New York to Liverpool. Armed with a naïve guidebook and romantic expectations of life at sea, Redburn quickly confronts the harsh realities of maritime labor, poverty, cruelty, and disillusionment. As the voyage unfolds, his youthful innocence is stripped away by encounters with brutal sailors, desperate immigrants, and the stark inequalities of the Old World.

More than a sea adventure, Redburn is a powerful social novel that examines class division, human suffering, and moral responsibility. Melville offers vivid depictions of shipboard life, bustling ports, and the grim conditions faced by the poor, blending realism with deep compassion. Through Redburn's gradual awakening, the novel traces the painful but necessary journey from innocence to experience.

Honest, humane, and deeply observant, Redburn: His First Voyage stands as one of Melville's most accessible works and an essential exploration of youth, hardship, and moral growth in a rapidly changing world.
