Book Description
Living in a town full of shifters, witches, vampires, and other mystical creatures, she thinks she’s seen everything. She was wrong. Marian When I was offered the job as head librarian in a small town in Colorado, I was thrilled. (Yeah, yeah, I’m a librarian named Marian, cue the musical jokes.) Sure, I’m one of the only humans in this magical little part of the world, but the residents welcome me with open arms. At least I thought they did, before someone tried to play an April Fool’s joke on me. There’s no way the hot younger guy flirting with me is into a middle-aged woman like me. Oh, and the fake blue skin is taking the joke a little too far…but I can’t help but wish this was real. Also, why am I suddenly having prophetic dreams since this guy showed up? Edfollopxen (or Ed, to his new friends) When I left my home planet of Genervia in search of my fated mate, I had no idea I’d find one as perfect as the curvy little human they call Marian on the very first planet I visited. It may take a while to win her love, but I’m willing to put in the work. I’m reading about her culture, getting a job with the wolves, and making it my mission to keep her so satisfied that she forgets how different we really are. Can a grouchy librarian and a cheerfully naive alien really find love? Alien Feeling is a steamy midlife paranormal romantic comedy featuring a woman with burgeoning psychic skills who doesn’t believe in fated mates, a big blue alien who doesn’t believe in personal space, and a town full of nosy matchmakers determined to help them find their happily ever after. About the “Magical Midlife” series: Just outside the shifter town of Greysden sits Rosewater Manor, a place shrouded in magic. The Rosewater women and their friends all have special gifts, although sometimes they’re a bit glitchy. At least until they find true love… keywords: alien romance, paranormal romance, midlife romance, fated mate, rejected mate, instalove, love at first sight, psychic, witch, shifter, shape shifter, small town, later in life romance, seasoned romance, rom-com, romcom, romantic comedy

Marie’s new boss is a bear. Literally. Marie Caldwell has watched all of her best friends find their fated mates, and despite their best efforts to reject their soulmates, they’re now all living their own version of “happily ever after”. But not Marie. She’s stuck in the same job she’s had for twenty years, slinging cocktails for the shifters of Greysden and worried that life has passed her by. When her boss dies, the wolf shifter thinks it may be a sign to leave town and find something new. She agrees to stay just long enough to help the new owner learn how to run the bar before she goes off in search of adventure. Ben Murphy hadn’t seen his estranged father since he was a teenager, and he certainly never expected to inherit Murphy’s Bar. He’s burned out from his years working in finance, and a move to Greysden to run a small-town bar sounds like just the break he needs. But his new job isn’t as easy as he expected. Running a bar is way harder than it looks, and his sassy assistant manager, Marie, hates his guts. That’s a definite problem, because the strong-willed independent wolf is also his fated mate. She’s not the woman he would have chosen, but who is he to question fate? Unfortunately, Marie’s got one paw out the door, and she doesn’t care what fate says, there’s no way she’s staying. “Cocktail Wolf” is book five in the “Bite-Sized Shifters”, a series of paranormal romantic comedies you can read in just a few hours.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. Appearing in paperback for the first time—with twenty arresting new photos and an extensive Q&A with the author—Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.
