About The Book:
How do you save a world that
believes you’re the villain?
In Union City, where superpowered vigilantes are celebrated as saviors,
rebellious grad-student Brandon Carter sees them as anything but. Haunted by
the death of his father at the hands of a masked “hero,” Brandon’s defiance
might have landed him in a jail cell if not for his gift for physics.
At twenty-three, Brandon is on the precipice of success. Using his research,
his team is just one test away from a world-changing scientific breakthrough—a
test that nearly ends in catastrophe due to an “error” in the code.
With the project set for
termination, Brandon throws caution to the wind, sneaking back into the lab to
rerun the test in secret. But when a mysterious, powerful assassin attacks him
and sabotages the experiment, a devastating explosion levels the lab.
Against all odds, Brandon
survives, transformed in mind and body. With his life on the line and no idea
who to trust, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the attack, gain control
of his strange, new powers, and protect those he loves—even if it means saving
a world that would label him a supervillain.

and their family are on a cruise to Bermuda when hurricane-force winds sink

terrible when Brandon meets the beautiful Eleanor, who is going to New York to
escape the London bombings. They can’t comprehend why they have gone back in
time. The atmosphere on the ship is fun, even though the threat of the German
torpedos is real. When the ship is sunk by a torpedo, Brandon, Amy, and Eleanor

iceberg and know they must leave and plan their escape. They leave the Titanic
to be rescued by the SS Austria—a wooden ship from the 1800s—where the

adrift until they find land, spot a small plane taking off from the jungle, and
know they’ve discovered a way home.

New World that refuses to be conquered. He is a man torn by life-long

that Héctor Valiente, the freed African slave he appointed as his lieutenant,
has found a portal that will lead them all into a world that will challenge his
deepest beliefs. And what he can’t possibly know is that this world will trap
him in a war between two eternal enemies, leading him to question everything he
has devoted his life to - his command, his Incan princess, his honor, his God.

own obsessions . . . to conquer yourself?
About The Book:
For fans of Little Miss
Sunshine and Secrets of Miss America, this memoir from a
national award-winning author reveals the reality of being the first Guyrex
Girl in the 1970s. Beauty pageant stories have never been this raw, this real.
Growing up in West Texas, Jane Little Botkin didn’t have designs on becoming a
beauty queen. But not long after joining a pageant on a whim in college, she
became the first protégé of El Paso’s Richard Guy and Rex Holt, known as the
“Kings of Beauty”—just as the 1970’s counterculture movement began to take off.
A pink, rose-covered gown—a Guyrex creation—symbolizes the fairy tale life that
young women in Jane’s time imagined beauty queens had. Its near destruction
exposes the author’s failed relationship with her mother, and her parents’
failed relationship with one another. Weaving these narrative threads together
is the Wild West notion that anything is possible, especially do-overs.
The Pink Dress awakens nostalgia for the 1960s and 1970s, the era’s
conflicts and growth pains. A common expectation that women went to college to
get “MRS” degrees—to find a husband and become a stay-at-home wife and
mother—often prevailed. How does one swim upstream against this notion among
feminist voices that protest “If You Want Meat, Go to a Butcher!” at beauty
pageants, two flamboyant showmen, and a developing awareness of self? Torn
between women’s traditional roles and what women could be, Guyrex Girls
evolved, as did the author.

About The Book:
Scott Pilgrim and Wednesday combine
into a teenaged Fleabag in DYING INSIDE, a
supernatural, emo-fantasy thriller from the mind of FALL OUT BOY’s Pete Wentz,
Hannah Klein, and Lisa Sterle!
Immortality is entirely overrated.
From Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Hannah Klein (Everything’s Fine),
and Lisa Sterle (The Modern Witch Tarot, Witchblood) comes the graphic
novel about a chronically depressed girl who’s tired of fighting for her…death.
Today is Ash’s big finale. And by finale, of course, she means exiting the
stage permanently.
Ash is a sixteen-year-old girl with more angst than Ian Curtis and Elliott
Smith combined (her two idols). She’s apathetic and therefore believes death is
the easiest route to relief. But nothing is more embarrassing than a lame
death. Unfortunately, her meticulous plans — which include the perfect outfit,
soundtrack, and method — are all ruined when the beautiful knife she buys off a
webstore turns out to be charmed with a protection spell.
Now, Ash has to track down the witch who turned her clocking out attempt into
the worst gift imaginable: immortality. Turns out, the witch responsible is
another sixteen-year-old-girl named (get this) Liv. The two vow to undo the
charm together and fight for Ash’s death…even as things get increasingly
entangled with a strange new antidepressant called Somnia and her mom’s gross boyfriend,
Greg (ughh).

About The Book:
A mountainous thundering bull
breaks up battling tribesmen, summoning three struggling youths, as an
insidious unseen enemy turns tribes against tribes—pitting rich against poor,
sons against fathers, and men against gods. Its insatiable hunger for division

A miraculous seven-headed horse, a symbol of unity, soars from the East,
assembling the three youths from disparate lands into a journey of
self-discovery. There Sunu the Saxon, Rufus the Roman, and Keresaspa the
Sarmatian must overcome pride, aversion, and unforgiveness; there they must
learn from historical heroes, philosophers, and the gods that strengthen them
to battle the unseen monster and its rising wolfmen.
Fated to part ways to face the demons at home, Sunu, Rufus, and Keresaspa must
reunite as they bring divided peoples together to fight the source tearing
everyone apart. They must heed the divine wisdom of the seven-headed horse and
justly wield the seven magic weapons they’ve mysteriously been given to
overcome the unseen enemy and understand the higher purpose of the mountainous
thundering bull.

Two Italian sons, linked by a
masterpiece painting, are put to a test of loyalty and honor.
At the heart of this gripping tale is Orazio Bordoni, the wayward son of a
construction magnate, living a reckless life like that of his artistic hero
Caravaggio. He finds himself befriended by Nicolo Giotto, the devoted son of a
powerful Sicilian mafia clan, who wants to uphold the honor of his family.
As the dark underbelly of the art world and the Vatican expose their true
