Falling for the Fake Lumberjack
A small-town yoga teacher finds something real with a linebacker posing as a lumberjack in this sharp and spicy romance from USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney.
With rugged good looks and muscles for days, Harris Bennett stops traffic no matter what he's wearing--flannel shirt or football jersey. So when management sends him to Star Lake, Washington, for a team-building retreat, it's no wonder a local mistakes him for a lumberjack. And Harris leans right into the misunderstanding. Because that "local" looks amazing in yoga pants.
Lucy LeBrandt is a yoga instructor with trust issues: She doesn't have time for men. But she's definitely drawn to the hot, goofy lumberjack who seems to know nothing about, well, lumberjacking. He's only in town for a week. Maybe she can squeeze him in between classes...
Harris has no idea what to do with an axe, and Lucy has no idea what to do about Harris. But they both know exactly what to do when they're alone together. Can they split the difference between them, or is their romance just one stroke away from "TIIIIIMBER!"?

Inattention Economy: How Women of Color Built the Internet
Revealing the unheralded contributions of women of color to the foundation and development of the digital economy
The Inattention Economy challenges the widespread myth that the internet was born from the labor of a handful of white male entrepreneurs, recovering the uncredited and unpaid contributions of women of color. Focusing on three key inflection points in computing--the microchip era of the 1960s and '70s, the rise of social media in the 2000s, and A.I.-fueled virtual reality in the 2020s--Lisa Nakamura illuminates these women's instrumental roles in building new technologies and making them coherent to users.
From the Navajo women who manufactured the first semiconductor circuits in New Mexico to Tila Tequila, the queer Vietnamese American refugee who became the first true internet influencer in the MySpace age, to Black virtual reality creators, Nakamura highlights how women's gendered and racialized identities have uniquely positioned them to mediate the development and proliferation of new technologies. She exposes how these women have been structurally excluded from racial capitalism's benefits while their labor is considered as exploitable and inexhaustible as that of machines. Confronting this injustice, she focuses our attention on their work, which undergirds and makes possible the platforms ingrained in our daily lives.
Arguing for both recognition and material compensation for these women's labor, The Inattention Economy is a powerful counterhistory of Silicon Valley and a persuasive call to imagine a different kind of internet.

Encendidas. Un Viaje Íntimo Por La Menopausia / Slow Burn. an Intimate Guide to Menopause
La menopausia: sus mitos y verdades. Un libro íntimo y también una guía para todas las mujeres. Este libro, amiga, es para ti. Sí, para ti, que has empezado a llevar un abanico en el bolso, que lidias con noches de insomnio, que pierdes las gafas y no consigues recordar el título de la última serie que has visto. Para ti, que a veces te sientes triste y no sabes por qué. Para ti, porque aunque te pasan estas cosas, al mismo tiempo sientes que estás en el mejor momento de tu vida: madura, deseante, hermosa y segura. También es para ti, que aunque todavía no te ha llegado la menopausia, sabes que, como a todas, te va a llegar, y que es mejor entenderla y estar preparada. La menopausia no es una enfermedad, sino una transformación natural y poderosa en la vida de la mujer. Entonces, ¿por qué seguimos tratándola en susurros cuando afecta a la mitad de la población? ¿Por qué las madres nos educan sobre la menstruación, pero pasan por alto la menopausia? ¿Por qué has perdido la desaprobación social hacia las mujeres en el climaterio cuando nos sentimos más vitales que nunca? ¿Por qué tanto silencio y falta de investigación? Mariana Carbajal ha escrito Encendidas pensando en todas esas mujeres que se sienten solas; este libro se convertirá en una gran compañía, para ti, amiga. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Menopause: myths and truths. A heart-to-heart book, but also a guidebook for all women. This book, girlfriend, is for you. Yes, for you, who have started carrying a fan in your purse, who are dealing with sleepless nights, with loosing your glasses, and can't seem to remember the title of the last series you watched. For you, who sometimes feel saddened and don't know why. For you, because even if these things are happening, you simultaneously feel you are in your prime: mature, desiring, beautiful, and confident. It is also for you, still not experiencing menopause, but aware that it will come, as it happens to all women, and it is best to understand it and be prepared. Menopause is not a disease, but a natural and powerful transformation in the life of a woman. Why, then, do we keep treating it silently when it affects half the population? Why do our mothers educate us about menstruation, but overlook menopause? Why have you lost social disapproval towards women in climacteric when we feel more vital than ever? Why such quiet and lack of research? Mariana Carbajal has written Slow Burn thinking of all those women who feel they are alone. This book will be a good companion to you, my friend. -

Beast (Standard Edition)
Once upon a time, I fell in love with two men.
Gaeton, with his brash charm and casual cruelty. Beast, his lust equal to his penchant for violence. Their feelings for me were matched only by their hatred for each other. Being with them was sinful and perfect in different ways.
In the end, I couldn't choose, and I lost them both.
Now, my sisters have tasked me with securing our power base, no matter the cost. I will do anything for my family--even if it means agreeing to the terms set by Gaeton and Beast. The three of us. Together. But only for as long as it takes me to choose one of them once and for all. When playing games of power, happily ever after isn't a priority. Not even for me. Especially not for me.

Run: Eisner Award Winner for Best Graphic Memoir
Run, Eisner Award Winner for Best Graphic Memoir, is an essential graphic novel, whether for the home or the classroom. First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling, award-winning team behind March.
This follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series March is the continuation of the life story of John Lewis and the struggles seen across the United States after the Selma voting rights campaign.
To many, the civil rights movement was capped with the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. All too often, the depiction of history ends with a great victory. But John Lewis knew that victories are just the beginning.
John Lewis was one of the preeminent figures of the movement, leading sit-in protests and fighting segregation on interstate busways as an original Freedom Rider. He became chairman of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. He helped organize the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the ensuing delegate challenge at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. And he co-led the march from Selma to Montgomery on what became known as "Bloody Sunday."
In Run, John Lewis and longtime collaborator Andrew Aydin reteam with Nate Powell--the award-winning illustrator of the March trilogy--and are joined by L. Fury, making an astonishing graphic novel debut, to tell this often-overlooked chapter of civil rights history.
"In sharing my story, it is my hope that a new generation will be inspired by Run to actively participate in the democratic process and help build a more perfect Union here in America."--Congressman John Lewis
"Run recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic change--the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of those who believe change has not gone far enough. John Lewis's story has always been a complicated narrative of bravery, loss, and redemption, and Run gives vivid, energetic voice to a chapter of transformation in his young, already extraordinary life." --Stacey Abrams
