Book Description
One part Libba Bray's Going Bovine, two parts String Theory, and three parts love story equals a whimsical novel that will change the way you think about the world. Sophie Sophia is obsessed with music from the late eighties. She also has an eccentric physicist father who sometimes vanishes for days and sees things other people don’t see. But when he disappears for good and Sophie’s mom moves them from Brooklyn, New York, to Havencrest, Illinois, for a fresh start, things take a turn for the weird. Sophie starts seeing things, like marching band pandas, just like her dad. Guided by Walt, her shaman panda, and her new (human) friend named Finny, Sophie is determined to find her father and figure out her visions, once and for all. So she travels back to where it began—New York City and NYU’s Physics department. As she discovers more about her dad’s research on M-theory and her father himself, Sophie opens her eyes to the world’s infinite possibilities—and her heart to love. Perfect for fans of Going Bovine, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Probability of Miracles.

Book Description
People say not to believe the things you read in magazines, but you know what? Most things you've heard about me are probably true. I totally banged the reporter in the locker room after the championship game last year. Those pictures in Expose from last summer? Those were not modified. I'm also not really six-foot tall. (But let's keep that between us.) Now, I know you're wondering about that last Expose headline-the one about me and my teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn Miller's sister, Layla James. That one is a little more complicated. Here's the thing: I've played football my whole life. If there's one thing I know, it's how to adjust when the game changes. And if there's one thing I always do, it's find a way to win. Granted, the stakes are higher. The playbook has changed. There's more on the line than (another) MVP title. But guess what hasn't changed? Me. I'm still Branch "Lucky" Best and I'm not about to fumble this one. Grab a seat and a subscription to Expose. I'm about to make some headlines. (Again.) From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a fun and flirty STANDALONE NOVEL.

Book Description
Now an ECPA Best Seller—Kari Kampakis's Love Her Well gives moms ten practical tips for how to build strong and lasting relationships with their daughters. For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. But as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to one of dread as moms are told, "Just wait until she's a teenager!" and handed a disheartening and too-often-true script about a daughter's teenage season of life. Author, blogger, and mom to four daughters Kari Kampakis thinks it's time to change the narrative and mind-set that leads moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat instead of strength. Love Her Well isn't a guide to help mothers "fix" their daughters or make them behave. It's about a mom's journey, doing the heart-work necessary to love a teenager while still being a steady, supportive parent. Kari offers wisdom about how moms can: Choose their words and timing carefully. Listen and empathize with her teen's world. See the good, and love her for who she is. Take care of themselves and find a support system in the process. By working on the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship; mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support. Kari gives mothers hope, wisdom, and a reminder that all things are possible through God, who is the source of the guidance and clarity they need in order to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age—especially during the critical teen years.

Book Description
The FBI‘s talent best still cannot find Perilous One Special Agent Hess and her frustrated team of male agents have been looking for two years for a sociopath that takes pleasure in blowing up Jeep Wranglers. Now she has stepped up her craft to poisoning college coeds. “Blessed is the man with nothing to say. The obvious is apparent. Wordy commentary blocks the vision. The world would be grand if everyone had the faculty to be silent at the same time. A rest from ordinary point of views is golden. Trust by this point I’ve heard everything at least once.” By Special Agent Hess Meet Journalist Nia Bradley “Promises made can never be broken. Soft spoken assurances always guarantees a pledge that’s bonded forever. Carelessness may buy you a moment but never for an extended length of time. Sooner or later emotional debts will surface wanting a full payment you silly men.” Enjoyed being romanced by Phillip Davidson You’ve given me the right to explore you intimately. That’s how things will remain until you relinquish the control I’ve gained.
