City of the Muse
For fans of The Lost Apothecary, a gripping dual-timeline novel about the mysterious death of an indomitable female papyrologist during an archaeological dig in the early 1900s and an aspiring young female researcher's present-day quest to find out who killed her. An ill-fated dig. An ancient city believed to be cursed. And a century-old mystery at the heart of it all. Egypt, 1903: When renowned papyrologist Helen Gardiner arrives at an excavation site in the ancient city of Calliopolis, she learns that she has been given the job because her predecessor has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. One of the only women on the dig, Helen--tasked with restoring and cataloguing the thousands of papyrus fragments recovered at the site--soon discovers that there's more to Calliopolis than meets the eye. The archaeologists on the dig, mostly men, all have not only their own towering egos, but their own agendas, including secrets they might kill to protect. Toronto, 2019: Archivist Maddie Sloan is at a dead end: she feels like her academic career is stalled, and she's still healing from her recent breakup with her former partner, Ben. To make matters worse, Ben still works with Maddie's father, a famous archaeologist, and with whom Maddie has had a major falling out. It feels like her father has chosen Ben over her. When famous TV archaeologist Peter Bahar arrives at the Toronto Archaeological Museum to verify the provenance of objects from their Egyptian collection believed to be from Calliopolis, Maddie jumps at the opportunity. After all, she has her own ties to the Cursed City of Calliopolis through her grandmother, Iris, who worked at the site. As Maddie and Peter begin digging into the objects and circumstances surrounding the excavation, they learn that two papyrologists seem to have abruptly disappeared from the dig without explanation. Suddenly, a search for provenance becomes a quest to uncover a history shrouded in secrets and lies--and a murder that has been covered up for more than a century. -

I Hope You Elope: A Bridesmaid Survival Guide
The first survival guide for bridesmaids to protect their sanity and their wallets--and a call to reimagine the role. If you're holding this book, chances are you've been a bridesmaid, and you're gearing up for another battle but this time with more clarity and boundaries. Maybe it's your first rodeo. Or maybe you're tired of the emotional fine print that comes with saying yes, and you want to say no without losing the friendship. Wherever you are, you're not alone. You've RSVP'd, Venmo'd blindly, and smiled through a dress fitting that cost more than a month's worth of therapy. You've shown up with your lashes glued on, while finding yourself stretched thinner than the patience of a bride on her third dress fitting. The truth is, it's never just "one day." It's a year of emotional endurance, financial acrobatics, and the subtle art of not losing your mind while holding someone else's bouquet. Women are losing their sanity, their wallets, their friendships, and themselves. The first of its kind, I Hope You Elope is a survival guide by someone who's been in the group chat, worn the dress, and swallowed the resentment. Funny, brutally honest, and heartbreakingly familiar, it's the bridesmaid manifesto we've been waiting for--not to tear down the dream, but to protect the women holding it up. This step-by-step playbook will help you navigate tough conversations, set boundaries without guilt, and figure out if that destination bachelorette trip is really in your budget. Equal parts reality check and rallying cry, it gives bridesmaids the tools, language, and permission to show up for their friends without disappearing within themselves. -
Movement: How Women's Liberation Transformed America 1963-1973
This "indispensable new book that belongs on the shelf of every American woman" (Sally Jenkins, author of The Right Call) is a comprehensive oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes--from the author of the "powerful and moving" (The New York Times) Witness to the Revolution. Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade, when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be. "Rollicking good fun, deftly arranged, and downright exhilarating" (The New York Times), The Movement traces women's awakening, organizing, and agitating between the years of 1963 and 1973, when a diverse collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley Chisholm's presidential campaign and Billie Jean King's 1973 battle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, Black and white, The Movement brings us into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first class citizens, and in the process, changed the fabric of American life. -
