The Book of Runes

For years as and award-winning war reporter, Sebastian Junger traveled to many frontlines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020, while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. 
This experience spurred Junger - a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical - to undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die.

In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with The Idea of An Afterlife

When a bullying incident sends twelve-year-old Nico Holland over the edge of a cliff into the icy waters of Still Cove, friends Tyler and Emma - and even cool kid Opal - rush to his rescue … only to discover an island hidden in the murky, swirling mists below.
Though it appears uninhabited, all four kids can’t quite shake the feeling that what they’ve found is no paradise - especially when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat with an array of curiosities inside: odd-looking weapons, maps to places they’ve never heard of, and glass jar containing something unidentifiable. 
As they delve deeper into the unknown, their discoveries - and their lives - begin to intertwine in weird and threatening ways.

The Darkedeep

Nine years ago, with the world’s eyes on her, Charlie Colbert fled. The press and police called her a “witness” to the horrible events that transpired at her elite graduate school. But only Charlie knew that there was more to her story - if only she could make sense of how it all unfolded. 
Now, Charlie has meticulously rebuilt her life: She’s the editor-in-chief of a major magazine, the fiancée of the heir to a publishing dynasty, and hell-bent on never letting her guard down again. But when a film adaptation of “Scarlet Christmas” - the bloody scene that transpired that fateful Christmas Eve - threatens to shatter Charlie’s world, her haunting memories surge back with unprecedented clarity. No truth has ever been more dangerous than the one that now hides in her own mind. With everything at stake, Charlie must decide how far she will go to prevent the demons of her past from colliding with her seemingly perfect present.

Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead

Maja Jensen is smart, stylish, and careful, the type of woman who considers every detail when building her dream home in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The perfect house that would compensate for her failure to have a child, the house that was going to save her marriage. But when a group of reckless teenagers trash the newly built home just weeks before she moves in, her plans are shattered.
Those teenagers, two months away from graduating high school, are the “good” kids - the ones on track to go to college and move on to the next stage of their privileged lives. They have grown up in a protected bubble and are accustomed to getting by with just a slap on the wrist. Did they think they could just destroy property without facing punishment? Or was there something deeper, darker, at play that night? As the police close in on a list of suspects, the tight-knit community begins to fray as families attempt to shield themselves.
What should have been the party of the year will have repercussions that will put Maja’s marriage to the ultimate test, jeopardize the futures of the “good kids,” and divide the town over questions of privilege and responsibility.

Oliver Sacks

"An explorer of that most wondrous of islands, the human brain," writes D.M. Thomas in The New York Times Book Review, "Oliver Sacks also loves the oceanic kind of islands." Both kinds figure movingly in this book--part travelogue, part autobiography, part medical mystery story--in which Sacks's journeys to a tiny Pacific atoll and the island of Guam become explorations of the meaning of islands, the genesis of disease, the wonders of botany, the nature of deep geological time, and the complexities of being human.

P. A. Ritzer

P. A. Ritzer has sold thousands of copies of his first book, the award-winning historical Western SEVEN OX SEVEN, PART ONE: ESCONDIDO BOUND, at over 225 bookstore book signings (over 200 at Barnes & Noble stores alone). He has written LOVE AND THE ART OF BOOKSTORE BOOK SIGNING as an answer to authors, bookstore personnel, distributors, and others in the book business who have sought to know how he does it. Ritzer does not just detail a method but goes to the heart of the matter. He exposes the real basis of his success in interacting with customers and the people who help him sell books. In LOVE AND THE ART OF BOOKSTORE BOOK SIGNING, Ritzer shows that an author need not be a celebrity to make book signings rewarding for himself and the stores and their customers. Rather, he can create the kind of experience that inspires customers to buy his book and store managers to invite him back for 20 or more successful signings of the same book.

A Novel Based on True Events

THE BASIS FOR THE NETFLIX FILM STARRING CAREY MULLIGAN, RALPH FIENNES, AND LILY JAMES 

A literary adventure that tells the story of a priceless buried treasure discovered in England on the eve of World War II
 
In the long, hot summer of 1939, Britain is preparing for war, but on a riverside farm in Suffolk there is excitement of another kind. Mrs. Pretty, the widowed owner of the farm, has had her hunch confirmed that the mounds on her land hold buried treasure. As the dig proceeds, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary find.

This fictional recreation of the famed Sutton Hoo dig follows three months of intense activity when locals fought outsiders, professionals thwarted amateurs, and love and rivalry flourished in equal measure. As the war looms ever closer, engraved gold peeks through the soil, and each character searches for answers in the buried treasure. Their threads of love, loss, and aspiration weave a common awareness of the past as something that can never truly be left behind.
