Stephanie Burgis

Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis is the start of a delightful, funny and seductive romantasy trilogy, set in a gaslamp-lit world where hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests and genteel court intrigues can turn deadly . . . Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that, she needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells. She definitely doesn't have time to bring order to her chaotic library of magic. When a mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the spot. 'Fabian' is sweet and a little nerdy, and his requests seem a little strange - what in the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? - but he's getting the job done. And if he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe, well . . . Little does Saskia know that the 'wizard' she's falling for is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the run, he's in danger from Saskia's enemies and her new-found allies, too. So when Saskia finally discovers the truth, will their love save them - or be their doom? 'Stephanie Burgis is a fresh new voice and I can't wait to see what she does next' - Ilona Andrews, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Daniels series

Airea D. Matthews

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

A powerful collection of autobiographical poems from Yale Young Poets Award Winner and Philadelphia’s Poet Laureate Airea D. Matthews about the economics of class and its failures for those rendered invisible by it. As a former student of economics, Airea D. Matthews was fascinated and disturbed by 18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith, and his magnum opus The Wealth of Nations. Bread and Circus is a direct challenge to Smith’s theory of the invisible hand, which claims self-interest is the key to optimal economic outcomes. By juxtaposing redacted texts by Smith and the French Marxist Guy Debord with autobiographical prose and poems, Bread and Circus demonstrates that self-interest fails when people become commodities themselves, and shows how the most vulnerable—including the author and her family—have been impacted by that failure. A layered collection to be read and reread, with poems that range from tragic to humorous, in forms as varied and nuanced as the ideas the book considers, Bread and Circus explores the area where theory and reality meet. Timely, ambitious, and relevant, Bread and Circus is a brilliant intellectual and artistic contribution to an ongoing conversation about American inequality, for fans of Elizabeth Alexander, Natalie Diaz, Eve Ewing, and Gregory Pardlo.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It

From the creator of “nothing less than a unified field theory of racism” (NPR Planet Money), a dollar-and-cents reckoning of the state of Black America and a new framework to close the power gap Historically, the quest for power by Black Americans has been cast as gaining equal protections under the law in pursuit of basic democratic freedoms. But American power is inextricably associated with ownership—of one’s self, home, business, and creations. We are living at a time of a Black cultural renaissance, but the true measure of a genuine shift in influence is whether the people who make the films, cook the food, write the stories, and sing the songs own their work and reap the commercial value of their production. Economist Andre M. Perry draws on extensive research and analysis to quantify how much power Black Americans actually have. Ranging from property, business, and wealth, to education, health, social mobility, and political strength, he moves across the country, from Maryland to New York, Mississippi, Illinois, and beyond, evaluating people’s ability to set the rules of the game, measured by a host of metrics. Evaluating the power gap and where it is most pronounced, he advances the case for reparations as an investment and a corrective. An expansive take on power, supported by documentation and data, Black Power Scorecard is a groundbreaking contribution to the country’s reckoning with structural inequality, one that offers a new approach to redressing it.

Romina Garber

A delicious and dark gothic romance from bestselling author Romina Garber! THE HOUSE IS ALWAYS HUNGRY... After a mysterious attack claims the lives of her parents, all Estela has left is her determination to solve the case. Suffering from survivor’s guilt so intense that she might be losing her grip on reality, she accepts an invitation to live overseas with an estranged aunt at their ancestral Spanish castle, la Sombra. Beneath its gothic façade, la Sombra harbors a trove of family secrets, and Estela begins to suspect her parents’ deaths may be linked to their past. Her investigation takes a supernatural turn when she crosses paths with a silver-eyed boy only she can see. Estela worries Sebastián is a hallucination, but he claims he’s been trapped in the castle. They grudgingly team up to find answers and as their investigation ignites, so does a romance, mistrust twined with every caress. As the mysteries pile up, it feels to Estela like everyone in the tiny town of Oscuro is lying and that whoever was behind the attack has followed her to Spain. The deeper she ventures into la Sombra’s secrets, the more certain she becomes that the suspect she’s chasing has already found her . . . and they’re closer than she ever realized.

Insights from Jesus' Encounters with Women

Society is oppressive, Jesus is not. While it is the nature of man to repress and demean people, it is the nature of God to honor and elevate them.In He Saw Her, Christy Korthase examines the encounters Jesus had with women throughout the Gospels. Through this in-depth look His interactions serve as a guide, providing a fresh perspective on the equity of women. From the complicated relationship He had with his mother, to the compassion that moved him to bring back to life a widow's dead son, and to defend a woman caught in an adulterous affair, readers will come to possess a greater appreciation of Jesus. Careful study and empathetic reading uncovers the tender heart Jesus has toward women. By drawing from Jesus' relationships, readers will be enlightened with Biblical insights such as: The importance Jesus placed on the education of women, His compassion for their suffering and struggles, the space He created for female outcasts, His radical respect for women, His utilization of their strength, and His inclusion of women among His community. In He Saw Her, readers will discover the countercultural stance Jesus took with women as well as His validation of their sex, because Jesus sees them.

Ioan Grillo

How America Arms Gangs and Cartels

"An eye-opening and riveting account of how guns make it into the black market and into the hands of criminals and drug lords."--Adam Winkler

From the author of El Narco and winner of the Maria Moors Cabot Prize, a searing investigation into the enormous black market for firearms, essential to cartels and gangs in the drug trade and contributing to the epidemic of mass shootings.

The gun control debate is revived with every mass shooting. But far more people die from gun deaths on the street corners of inner city America and across the border as Mexico's powerful cartels battle to control the drug trade. Guns and drugs aren't often connected in our heated discussions of gun control-but they should be. In Ioan Grillo's groundbreaking new work of investigative journalism, he shows us this connection by following the market for guns in the Americas and how it has made the continent the most murderous on earth.

Grillo travels to gun manufacturers, strolls the aisles of gun shows and gun shops, talks to federal agents who have infiltrated biker gangs, hangs out on Baltimore street corners, and visits the ATF gun tracing center in West Virginia. Along the way, he details the many ways that legal guns can cross over into the black market and into the hands of criminals, fueling violence here and south of the border. Simple legislative measures would help close these loopholes, but America's powerful gun lobby is uncompromising in its defense of the hallowed Second Amendment. Perhaps, however, if guns were seen not as symbols of freedom, but as key accessories in our epidemics of addiction, the conversation would shift. Blood Gun Money is that conversation shifter.

Princess Ying Yue believed in love...once upon a time. Yet when she’s chosen to wed the crown prince, Ying’s dreams of a fairy tale marriage quickly fall apart.

Worse still are the rumors that swirl around the imperial palace: whispers of seven other royal brides who, after their own weddings, mysteriously disappeared. Left alone with only her own reflection for company, Ying begins to see things. Strange things. Movements in the corners of her mirror. Colorful lights upon its surface. And when, on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway, she is pulled into a mirror world. This realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. Unlike his real-world counterpart, the Mirror Prince is kind and compassionate, and before long Ying falls in love—the kind of love she always dreamed of. But there is darkness in this new world, too. It turns out the two worlds have a long and blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in the future of them both. And the brides who came before Ying? By the time they discovered what their role was, it was already too late.

Now the four want to try living with them and joining their faith—much to the Schrocks’ surprise . . . Martin, the eldest, is reeling from a bad breakup, so he’s especially determined to make a fresh start. When he meets his grandparents’ neighbor, Patti Coblentz, he’s immediately drawn to her outgoing, helpful nature—but is so overwhelmed that he appears blunt and rude.

Always self-conscious about the birthmark on her temple, Patti is resigned to never marrying and busying herself with the responsibilities of the large home and property she has inherited. Besides, Martin’s ill-mannered behavior and disconcerting directness make him the last man she’d ever want to wed—no matter how handsome he is.

Then he makes a grave discovery that causes his world to spiral and leave him questioning everyone he loves.
