From gossipy neighbors to a nitwit named Charlotte Davens-and even his chatty, recently deceased wife-Thomas is dragged into an emotional whirlwind he never asked for.

The Emotional Evolution of Thomas Sanders is a heartwarming, hilarious tale of unlikely friendships, small-town chaos, and one man's reluctant journey toward connection.

Peyton's migraines won't stop . . . but they're not what they seem.

As alarming discoveries are made at Etico, Peyton is sure these are not only connected to her sister's death but also her migraines . . . Can she find the missing link that will expose the truth?

An enthralling read for fans of twisty high-stakes thrillers, technothrillers, and science fiction from Blake Crouch and Andy Weir.

Joshua Donnelly has always lived with care. In the old house on Church Street, he follows the rhythms his mother taught him-faithful, steady, predictable. He does not ask for more than daily bread and a quiet life.

Until, on the coldest night of the year, a newborn baby is placed in his care.

The word-of-mouth BookTok hit about a supervisor at a top-secret government facility running experiments on human beings. He's always been able to tell himself it's for the greater good--until the day his work follows him home.

This hardcover edition includes a special, never-before-published short story!

"Inventive, scary, wholly entertaining, and deeply thought-provoking . . . T. J. Payne is the real deal."--Jose Molina, writer/producer on The Vampire Diaries, Sleepy Hollow, and Firefly

Joe works for an organization known only as "The Company." He cannot speak about what he does in public. He and his employees live in a constant state of paranoia that The Company is listening to their phones and watching their search histories. Why? Because on the bottom floor of the facility, rows of padded cells keep a group of humans in a constant state of extreme sensory deprivation. With their minds awake but their senses unable to ground themselves, they have gone insane, oscillating between vegetative states and fits of violent rage.

These experiments have a purpose, though--when the minds of these inmates transcend their physical selves, they're able to "intercept" the sights and senses of anyone in the world. The process, however, is painful. Torturous.

Joe likes to think that his work, helping the government track down bad guys, makes the world a better place. He has no regrets. Until the day when his ex-wife dies by suicide. He learns that a woman who looks very much like one of Joe's inmates had been haunting her. After his ex-wife's death, Joe's daughter Riley comes to live with him. And then she begins to have visions of the woman too...

Has Joe somehow played a role in turning the government's most sinister weapon against his own daughter? And, most important of all: how far will he go to save her?

Tapper's groundbreaking first book How to Love a Forest offered a pragmatic and hopeful vision for our relationship with forests and other ecosystems. His new book, The Forest Year, lives inside the practice of staying, caretaking, and paying attention. Following the author's forest through a year of life, the book explores flowers, birds, forest ecology, biodiversity, while also reflecting on stewardship, community, and what it means to be rooted in place. The Forest Year is a meditative and lyrical ode to the land, weaving complex scientific and ecological concepts with beautiful narrative prose, making nuanced ideas easy to understand and deeply resonant. Both place-based and practice-driven, Tapper writes not as an armchair philosopher or an academic, but as a working forester and ecologist stewarding real forests in real time, blending emotional insight with ecological rigor. A moving account of what it means to persist in the face of change and to love a place through work, compromise, sacrifice, and humility, this book will inspire readers to think deeply about where they live and who they are.

Most advice about creativity focuses on motivation.

Most creative failure has nothing to do with it.

Fearless Persistence is about the systems that quietly shape creative success and why so many talented people struggle without ever understanding why. Drawing on decades inside film studios, creative institutions, and leadership classrooms, Adam Leipzig reveals the hidden systems that support and constrain success-how power, pressure, time, belief, and structure shape whose work travels and whose work stalls, regardless of talent.

Rather than offering inspiration or hustle culture, Fearless Persistence reframes persistence as design. It shows how creators and leaders build structures that allow their work to continue when conditions change, as they always do. Clear-eyed, deeply practical, and grounded in real experience, this book helps readers see the system beneath the story and redesign their creative lives for endurance, integrity, and impact.

Creative success is shaped by systems. This book shows how to design a life that thrives inside them.

Two great loves. A world in chaos. And a life that never lands in order.

Discover the highly anticipated new novel from Audrey Niffenegger, which can be read on its own or as a companion to multi-million copy bestseller The Time Traveler's Wife.

Alba DeTamble has never lived a life in order. Born with the same rare Chrono-Displacement Disorder as her father, Henry DeTamble, Alba is an involuntary time traveler: she slips unpredictably through decades, carrying the weight of a future she can witness but cannot change. Yet she strives to maintain a normal life: as a gifted violinist, Alba finds refuge in her music, as well as her tight-knit community of artists and activists who fight to take care of each other in an increasingly unstable world.

As she dips in and out of time, Alba is haunted by secrets she must keep from those she loves most, including Zach, her safe, supportive anchor in the chaos. Her journey takes her from the riot-torn Chicago streets, to the eerie, timeless "Yellow House" - where she meets Oliver, a handsome fellow time traveler - to the digital corridors of the Museum of Lost Souls, a virtual sanctuary of forgotten memories and lost artifacts. Curating the museum is Isadora, Alba's mysterious stepsister and an increasingly unsettling presence in their family - whose fate may be intertwined with Alba's in more dangerous ways than she knows.

At once intimate and sweeping, Life Out of Order is a kaleidoscopic tale of love, resilience, and hope amid our fractured world where time itself is the greatest adversary. With every leap through the years, Alba is forced to reckon with the choices that define her, the people she cannot bear to lose, and the question that haunts every time traveler: can you ever truly belong to the present?

Bret Baier makes the case for America--an inspiring defense of our history, values, and national character by Fox News Channel's Chief Political Anchor

"An eloquently written and splendidly reasoned homage to the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence." --Douglas Brinkley

Can the Founders' ideals still inspire and unite the nation 250^th years after the Declaration of Independence?

The impossible dream of the United States of America began with a declaration. Years before the Revolution was won, long before the Constitution was created, we were a nation because of our decision to be free.

Though the universal hunger for freedom that endures, these days our country often seems at cross purposes. Our very history is divisive. On one side, there are the unrelenting complaints about all the things we're getting wrong. Such critics seem intent on focusing on the darker chapters of our story. On the other side is a sanitized version of history that leaves little room for self-reflection. It's as if any admission of frailty or failure is an unpatriotic act.

In The Case for America Bret Baier argues that neither of these pictures reflects our reality. To make the case for the nation's enduring value, he underscores our fundamental character: unity, freedom, resilience. Baier shares his own reflections alongside those of numerous historians, commentators, and business leaders in a moving ode to a nation.

A single waltz changed everything. But now they must try to preserve that magic for a lifetime in New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh's new book in the Ravenswood series.

The youngest Ware daughter, Stephanie, has always harbored secret passion for the best friend of her brother. In her eyes Bertrand Lamarr, Viscount Watley, is perfect. For many years she thought of herself as quite the opposite. When he surprised her by asking her to save a waltz for him, she panicked--and refused him in the unkindest words.

Stephanie's guilt over her behavior is such that she now dreads seeing him, as she inevitably must, at the Christmas family reunion she is attending. She wants to hide from him, but what she doesn't know is that Bertrand has always admired her from afar and is determined to overcome her apparent dislike of him and win his waltz. For he believes there is magic between them, and they will discover it can conquer all their regrets and fears if they but give themselves a chance.

Un libro lleno de vida sobre el oficio de escribir,
la magia de la creación y el poder eterno
de las palabras.

La palabra mágica es mucho más que una guía de escritura, es una conversación. Isabel Allende comparte los triunfos, errores y aprendizajes que los desafíos y las alegrías le han brindado a lo largo de los años. A partir de sus propias vivencias, este libro es una clase magistral para todo aquel que desee iniciar su propio viaje literario.

«La literatura es mágica: armar una historia es un proceso misterioso,
orgánico, instintivo. Al escribir entro en la dimensión de los
sueños, la intuición, las premoniciones; debo rendirme y dejar que
los personajes hagan lo que tienen que hacer y que la historia se
cuente a sí misma. Paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo sola y en
silencio, como un monje en su celda. Escribir es como meditar. En
la soledad recuerdo, escucho voces, tengo visiones. Mientras más
callada estoy, más oigo y más veo. En el silencio de la escritura a
veces me visitan espíritus --¿o serán las musas?--. Lo siento como
un roce en la nuca. Al escribir me transformo en médium. La escritura
para mí no es una opción, es una adicción». - Isabel Allende

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A vibrant book about the craft of writing,
the magic of creation, and the enduring power
of words.

The Magic Word is much more than a writing guide--it is a conversation. Isabel Allende shares the triumphs, mistakes, and lessons that challenges and joys have brought her over the years. Drawing from her own experiences, this book is a master class for anyone who wishes to begin their own literary journey.

"Literature is magical: shaping a story is a mysterious, organic, instinctive process. When I write, I enter the realm of dreams, intuition, and premonitions; I must surrender and allow the characters to do what they need to do and let the story tell itself. I spend most of my time alone and in silence, like a monk in her cell. Writing is like meditating. In solitude, I remember, I hear voices, I have visions. The quieter I am, the more I hear and the more I see. In the silence of writing, spirits sometimes visit me--or perhaps they are muses?--I feel it as a brush against the nape of my neck. When I write, I become a medium. Writing for me is not an option; it is an addiction." -- Isabel Allende

In this heartwarming, giftable comfort read for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Richard Paul Evans, a family shaken by loss experiences a life-changing season of new beginnings and Christmas magic on North Carolina's Outer Banks.

A time for family . . .

The holidays bring a storm of emotions for Thad Wright. Mere days before Christmas, his estranged daughter passes away--leaving behind a baby, Laura. And when Thad discovers that time is not on his beloved wife Lia's side either, he takes Lia's last plea to heart: that Laura is not raised by strangers, that he gives the child a loving home. As difficult as the months ahead are, Thad's granddaughter is a singular source of light in an otherwise dark season.

And for making every Christmas wish come true . . .

Thad's friends in Morehead City are there for him, including Akila, his coworker at the local hotel where he's an assistant chef. She's kind, comforting, gentle, and everything her teenage son, Juri, is not. In that boy, Thad sees the same rebellion that led his own daughter astray. Yet as Thad's relationship with Akila deepens, he's determined to forge a bond with the young, defiant aspiring musician. Soon, helping to make Juri's dreams a reality is an unexpected wonder for Thad. It even begins to mend his own grieving heart.

As the year passes, another Christmas approaches. What will be a second one for Laura just might be a blessed milestone for Thad, Akila, and Juri, as well.

You can brush, floss, be mindful of your diet and follow all the traditional oral hygiene advice, yet still find yourself needing fillings and ongoing dental cleanings. Dr. Ellie Phillips challenges this conventional dental instruction to "brush and floss," arguing it can be both ineffective and potentially harmful. In her groundbreaking book, Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye, she unveils the secrets to achieving and maintaining a truly healthy mouth. In this book, Dr. Phillips explains the importance of bacterial balance for oral health, highlighting how it will never be attained through excessive flossing, aggressive cleanings, or the indiscriminate killing of mouth bacteria. She exposes the detrimental effects of certain dental procedures and products, including tooth whitening, bleaching, dental sealants, and certain fluorides. By adopting her practical do-it-yourself daily routine, you can effortlessly reduce plaque buildup, strengthen your teeth, heal and even reverse small cavities, cure periodontal disease, and eliminate tooth sensitivity.

The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 examines the underlying causes of cavities and gum disease--as well as how teeth and gums can naturally heal themselves. It provides a clear picture of why we must rethink our fundamental beliefs about oral care if we want to avoid dental problems and sidestep all the chronic health conditions that are so closely associated with poor oral health. Part 2 provides details of a complete program that has the power to stop, prevent, and even reverse dental problems.

Isn't it time to bid farewell to cavities, gum disease, and the general health dangers from poor oral health? With Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye as your guide, you will be empowered to take rapid action and dramatically enhance the look, feel, and health of your teeth--at any stage of life, and with the confidence that it is never too late to begin.
