All the Little Bird-Hearts
Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow
$18.99 $17.66Longlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize: "A novel both delicate and strong, illuminating the disturbing and the extraordinary to be found in the every day.

I loved it." —Maggie O'Farrell, author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait
The Other Mothers
Katherine Faulkner
$28.99 $26.96“The Other Mothers was a wonderful exploration into imposter syndrome and what it’s like trying to fit in, but also how quickly it happens when you don’t even realize you’re trying to do it. I loved Sophie’s POV as well. Very well written!” —Amy Williams, As The Page Turns, Travelers Rest SC
Yours for the Taking
Gabrielle Korn
$29.00 $26.97“With multiple narrators with diverse backgrounds and ideas, this book kept me guessing. This story is all about how different decisions one makes (as well as society), no matter the intention, can negatively harm what follows.” —McKenna Moran, Anderson's Bookshops, Naperville IL
Songs on Endless Repeat: Essays and Outtakes
Anthony Veasna So
$28.99 $26.96"So's distinctive voice blends mordant cultural criticism with a striking combination of humor, compassion, and insight. This is a bittersweet testament to an astounding talent." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Orbital
Samantha Harvey
$24.00 $22.32"This is such a beautiful book you have to adjust your readerly heart to take it all in. The plot is simply and extraordinarily our planet, watched by a handful of souls. Orbital wonders what it's like to be a human 'with a godly view' and because Samantha Harvey is such a spectacular prose stylist the wondering takes the form of breathtaking colour storms and brilliant encircling epiphanies of time and scale, technology and love, ambition and faith. It is an awe-inspiring and humbling love letter to Earth and those who reckon with the gift of it." —Max Porter, author of Shy
Welcome Home, Stranger
Kate Christensen
$28.99 $26.96“Rachel lives an independent life. When her mom dies back home in Maine, Rachel’s return opens up wounds that she might finally be able to examine and heal. Complex, insightful and real, this moving story of lifelong relationships is resonant.” —Beth Mynhier, Lake Forest Book Store, Lake Forest IL
Dazzling
Chikodili Emelumadu
$27.00 $25.11"Dazzling is a soaring, gritty, beautiful, morally complex story about loss and longing, despair and hope. By the end, Dazzling will fill the scarred leopard's heart beating inside you. A marvel." —Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
All the Hidden Paths
Foz Meadows
$29.99 $27.89"Just as pacy and self-assured as the series opener while also embracing the opportunity for a deeper exploration of the sexual politics in this fantasy world. Speaking thoughtfully to real-life questions of identity, and the vulnerability that goes along with visibility, this fantasy adventure wows." —Publishers Weekly
