Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout)
Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the
way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.
Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form
of a stranded runaway bride.
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was
riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a
rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned
way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After
helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something
unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with
no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to
take care of.
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or
high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s
life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her
jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her
alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
Where the Crawdads Sing

PICTURE!

A Reese’s Book Club Pick
A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade
“I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't
want this story to end!”—Reese Witherspoon
“Painfully beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review
For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley
Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome
Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the
so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent,
she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding
friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she
yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by
her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the
natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of
possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we
once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets
that nature keeps.
Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER
• Meet Elizabeth Zott: a “formidable, unapologetic and inspiring” (PARADE)
scientist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the
unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show in this novel that is “irresistible,
satisfying and full of fuel” (The New York Times Book Review) and “witty,
sometimes hilarious...the Catch-22 of early feminism.” (Stephen King, via
Twitter)
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Washington
Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek
“The most delightful novel I read this year...fresh and
surprising...I laughed out loud!”—Philip Galanes, The New York Times
"A unique heroine...you'll find yourself wishing she
wasn’t fictional." —Seattle Times
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact,
Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as
an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings
Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one:
Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who
falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few
years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the
reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six.
Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid
with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following
grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t
just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a
dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and
vibrant as its protagonist.
Then She Was Gone: A Novel
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the New York Times bestselling author of Invisible Girl
and The Truth About Melody Browne comes a “riveting” (PopSugar) and “acutely
observed family drama” (People) that delves into the lingering aftermath of a
young girl’s disappearance.
Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the
youngest of three. Beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers, and half of a
teenaged golden couple. Ellie was days away from an idyllic post-exams summer
vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.
And then she was gone.
Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back
together. It’s been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since
her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie’s case was
unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a café, no one is
more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into
something deeper. Before she knows it, she’s meeting Floyd’s daughters—and his
youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel’s breath away.
Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And now,
the unanswered questions she’s tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt
Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the
police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her
disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so
viscerally of her own missing girl?

―Entertainment Weekly
The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a
woman’s act of violence against her husband―and of the therapist obsessed with
uncovering her motive.

house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable
areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot,
and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

showdown. • John Grisham’s most gripping thriller yet. • “A legal literary
legend.” —USA Today
John Grisham returns to Mississippi with the riveting story
of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends, but ultimately find
themselves on opposite sides of the law. Grisham’s trademark twists and turns
will keep you tearing through the pages until the stunning conclusion.
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its
beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also
notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution,
bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by
small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.
Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties
and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars. But as
teenagers, their lives took them in different directions. Keith’s father became
a legendary prosecutor, determined to “clean up the Coast.” Hugh’s father
became the “Boss” of Biloxi’s criminal underground. Keith went to law school and
followed in his father’s footsteps. Hugh preferred the nightlife and worked in
his father’s clubs. The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would
happen in a courtroom.
Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a
sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable
characters.

Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People
We Don't Know
Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History
and author of the number-one New York Times best seller Outliers, reinvents the
audiobook in this immersive production of Talking to Strangers, a powerful
examination of our interactions with people we don’t know.
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did
Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual
assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we
relate to each other that isn't true?
While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not
solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the
audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he
interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court
transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious
arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits
the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of
Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life
tragedies. There’s even a theme song - Janelle Monae’s “Hell You Talmbout”.
Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and
strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't
know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in
ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.
The audiobook edition of Talking to Strangers was an instant
number-one best seller, and was one of the most pre-ordered audiobooks in
history. It seamlessly marries audiobooks and podcasts, creating a completely
new and real listening experience.

Named one of the best books of the year by She Reads
Diana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by
thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City
suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art
auction world. She’s an associate specialist at Sotheby’s now, but her boss has
hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She’s
not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident,
is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos—days before her
thirtieth birthday. Right on time.
But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the
city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It’s all hands
on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures
her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to
waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes.
Almost immediately, Diana’s dream vacation goes awry. Her
luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they’d booked
is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under
quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated,
she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection
with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite
her father’s suspicion of outsiders.
In the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin’s theory of evolution
by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her
relationships, her choices, and herself—and wondering if when she goes home,
she too will have evolved into someone completely different.
