An accident of dragons

Radke, Cheri,


Includes discussion questions. "In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes. Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show."--Amazon.

American rambler : walking the trail of Johnny Appleseed /

Fitzgerald, Isaac,


"A Borzoi book." -- title page verso. "As a child, Isaac Fitzgerald was captivated by Johnny Appleseed, drawn to the legend by family ties, his father's larger-than-life stories, and a shared restlessness to leave home and discover what lay beyond. In American Rambler, he sets out on a year-long journey to follow Appleseed's path, walking (okay, sometimes driving, and at one point, even floating downstream) from Massachusetts to Indiana. On this journey, Fitzgerald turns a childhood fascination into a profound reckoning of loss and grief, ritual and faith, grimy gas station bathrooms and scenic apple picking. He is followed by a mysterious creature, camps in hostile environments, trespasses more than once, and is warmed by the generosity of strangers at every turn. A moving blend of memoir, history, and travelogue, American Rambler is at once an ode to the American heartland, a meditation on escaping the breakneck pace of modern life, and a clear-eyed look at the myths--often violent, sometimes hopeful, frequently romanticized--at the very core of American identity and history."--

The anniversary : a thriller /

Finlay, Alex,


"Today became an anniversary they would never celebrate. One fateful night in 1992, Jules and Quinn's lives are changed and intertwined forever. Quinn Riley, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, is arrested after he innocently tries to break up a fight but ends up nearly killing someone. Jules Delaney, high school royalty, survives an attack by the elusive and terrifying May Day Killer-a predator who strikes every May 1st in small Midwestern towns. A year later, Jules is struggling with trauma and guilt, tormented by the question: Why was I spared? Quinn is newly released from juvenile detention and returns home to fresh heartbreak: the unsolved murder of his mother. Over the next decade, their lives are revisited on a single day each year, May 1st. As secrets unravel and the paths of Quinn and Jules converge, two mysteries edge closer to the truth.

Ash

Wallace, Louise,


Thea spends her days among stubborn animals, many of which are massive or in pain, but they're not really what's causing her to feel overwhelmed. A vet at a midsized rural practice, she's been called back from her maternity leave early to find herself awash in meetings, family mealtimes, farm visits, her boss's search for legal loopholes and the constant care of her much-loved children, Eli and Lucy. Her husband would like to know what he should get his mother for her birthday, which she's had to remind him is next week--Calm down, she tells the reader, I'm not going to have an affair. This is a woman who knows intimately what it is to tend to a small child's fever in the small hours of the night while The Bachelor glows silently from her phone. And then, suddenly, in the time it takes to drive home from a rare evening out, everything is upended. Nothing is constant, now, except for the ash, and Thea is left marveling at the things that change and the ones that don't at what may very well be the end of the world.

The author weekend : a novel /

Zigman, Laura,


Everything needs to be just right for bestselling mystery writer Faye Wader's first ever fan weekend. Her sales might be slipping--only a little!--but her readers still love her enough to pony up for three days and two nights on Great Misery Island. The retreat is precisely planned, from the small batch artisanal donuts to the perimenopausal Mermaid Meditation, by Faye and her beleaguered assistant Jade--an aspiring author who can't seem to finish her own novel. Faye's long-time agent and editor will be there, as well as Faye's number one fan, Peggy Mercer, who has been first in line at every one of Faye's events. When news comes that the weekend will be crashed by glamorous, charismatic, rival novelist Abby Schuss, Faye thinks things can't get worse ... until one of the attendees is found dead in her room, setting off an unexpectedly murderous chain of events that make pre-pub anxiety seem like a day at the beach. How far is Faye willing to go to get exactly what she wants from her author weekend? The Author Weekend is a thrilling and hilarious dive into the dark heart of envy, and a glorious exploration of a woman of a certain age desperate to survive the dog-eat-dog world of publishing and control her own narrative.

Backtalker : an American memoir /

Crenshaw, Kimberlé,


Before intersectionality (intersection theory) and critical race theory became academic concepts, they were formative parts of Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw’s lived experience. Her memoir unfolds as a series of layered memories, moving through her upbringing in Canton, Ohio, her time as a student at Cornell and Harvard universities, and her joining the faculty at the UCLA School of Law and later the Columbia University Law School. Along the way, Crenshaw pioneered intersectionality: how overlapping and intersecting social identities (particularly minority identities) relate to systems and structures of oppression, domination, racism, and discrimination.

Bumblebee season : a novel /

Garvin, Eileen,


Beekeeper Jake Stevenson should be celebrating. His fledgling honey farm has been inundated with orders. Instead, Jake is worried. He can't seem to hire anyone--with local teens more interested in jobs at Hood River's hip waterfront--and there's no way he can do it all by himself, no matter how adept he's become at maneuvering among the beehives in his wheelchair. Meanwhile Flaco López, a young migrant from Mexico, is lost on Mount Hood when he stumbles upon Jake's beehives in a high alpine meadow. As Flaco takes refuge on Jake's farm, they begin to form a tentative friendship. And the two soon cross paths with Abigail Plue, a scientist more interested in insects than people, who's on Mount Hood studying a threatened native bumblebee. Then a local rabble rouser begins to rally support to build a commercial hunting camp that would destroy Mount Hood's pristine wilderness--the home of Jake's honeybees and Abigail's beloved bumblebees. And Jake, Abigail, and Flaco must come together to protect everything they hold dear. Full of warmth, big-hearted characters, and a celebration of nature in all its complexity, Bumblebee Season reminds us that human connection might just be the most powerful force there is.

A coffin for Tomahawk

Johnstone, William W.,


Regular print version previously published by: Kensington Publishing Corp. STANDING ORDER CENTERPOINT WESTERN. "Western legend Luke "Tomahawk" Callahan agrees to lead one last wagon train across the Mexican border--where revolution is brewing, bullets are flying, and all roads lead to death . . . With just a single journey under his belt, first-time wagoner Tomahawk Callahan became a national hero. It started as a challenge waged by a railroad mogul--a race between an old-time wagon train and a brand-new rail line--with the whole world watching. Against all odds, Tomahawk led his family business to victory. At the time, he thought it would be his first--and last--wagon train. But at his aunt's urging, he's agreed to take on one final job, a never-before-attempted trip across the Mexican border . . . But Mexico is undergoing bloody changes. Even with a new president in place, revolutionaries are plotting and corruption abounds. Tomahawk's wagon train could help benefit Mexico, bringing railroad workers, miners, and supplies--across a desert full of rattlesnakes, Apache, and other threats. The deadliest of all is a former priest known as Generalissimo "Padre" Rodriguez, who has his bloodthirsty sights set on the wagon train. Tomahawk's got to drive his wagons out of this frying pan and into the fire--or they'll all end up on a wagon trail to Hell . . ."--

The cove : a novel /

Ross, L. J.,


"Originally published in 2021 by LJ Ross"--Title page verso. "Gabrielle Adams had a good life: a promising publishing career, a devoted fiancé, and a future filled with possibilities. Then everything changed. A serial killer targets commuters on train platforms--striking without warning, disappearing without a trace. Gabrielle is the only one to survive. Struggling to cope with the trauma, she retreats to a quiet coastal village in Cornwall, taking a job running a small bookshop. It's meant to be a fresh start. A second chance. At first, the peaceful town and its rhythms soothe her frayed nerves. But something feels off. Whispers follow her. Footsteps echo at night. And someone knows who she is. As past and present blur, Gabrielle begins to wonder: did she escape the killer... or walk straight into something worse?"-- Provided by publisher.

A day of judgment

Todd, Charles,


Regular print version previously published by: Penzler Publishers / The Mysterious Press. "July, 1921: England is suffering a heat wave and the coast of Northumberland, just across the border from Scotland, is filled with holidaymakers bird-watching and enjoying the beaches. Pilgrims also come to visit the home of Saints Cuthbert and Aiden. When the murdered body of a local man washes ashore just south of Lindisfarne, the government and the Church of England are concerned about protecting both the reputation of the Church and the sacred sites that are a destination for hundreds of pilgrims at this time of year. Upon arrival, Rutledge finds himself pulled between two coastal fishing villages, scarred by home front battles and coastal bombardment from the German Navy, where animosity towards Germany still runs high even years after the war. This, combined with a constabulary in the process of being consolidated to form a countywide police force, with local militias still wielding a great deal of power, means Rutledge must tread with care. Facing a puzzling case and a cast of locals who don't take kindly to outsiders, the newly promoted Rutledge meets one of the most challenging cases of his career. To solve it, he'll also have to confront his own demons left over from his time in the war."--
