Abigail Apple is running late to meet her blind date when she’s pulled over for speeding. Unfortunately, the follow-the-rules cop doesn’t care that she’s late, let alone that she’s heartbroken because her favorite dog rescue is in danger of being closed. Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.
Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what’s a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is the perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper’s vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch. ❤️
Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?

From New York Times bestselling author Angie Fox
Southern girl Verity Long is about as high society as her pet skunk, Lucy. Which is why she’s surprised as anyone when the new head of the Sugarland social set invites her to join the “it” girls. But this is no social call. Verity’s new client needs her to go in undercover and investigate strange happenings at the group’s historic headquarters.
But while spirits are whispering hints of murder, the socialites are more focused on Verity’s 1978, avocado-green Cadillac. And when Verity stumbles upon a fresh body, she’s going to need the long-dead citizens of Sugarland to help her solve the crime. Good thing she has the handsome deputy sheriff Ellis Wydell on hand, as well as her ghostly sidekick Frankie. The bad thing is, the ghosts are now whispering about the end of a certain ghost hunter.
Why I’m including this: Angie Fox is a NYT bestselling author who knows how to blend Southern charm, paranormal hijinks, and cozy mystery perfectly!

Although marriage has never been her cup of tea, it doesn’t keep her father from arranging a trip to the country, where Sarah will engage in a week-long fete at the estate of the Duke of Faversham. ☕
In an unexpected twist of fate, a mesmerising encounter with a wickedly handsome Earl at the Duke’s ball will instantly set her body and heart on fire. The more time she spends with the charming stranger, the more she finds herself wondering… Could he really be the one to make her lay aside her doubts for a chance at true love and strong desire?
Patrick Day is an orphan with a painful past he wants to forget. Once he hears of the Duke’s ball, a wager with his greatest friends is arranged, setting Patrick up to arrive at the fete… dressed as an earl. Even though he feels confident that the elite members of society will believe his disguise, he has second thoughts about getting involved in such a bet. Little did he know that this would be the last thing on his mind, after meeting the alluring daughter of a Duke and seeing her as the most irresistible temptation.
However, he is painfully aware that a socially forbidden love would go down in flames before it even fills them with sparks. In the end, will Patrick manage to tame his growing feelings, or will he succumb to Sarah’s seduction?

Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant: A Memoir
$1.99 (Regularly $3.99) | LGBTQ+ Biographies & Memoirs | by Curtis Chin
Nineteen eighties Detroit was a volatile place to live, but above the fray stood a safe haven: Chung’s Cantonese Cuisine, where anyone—from the city’s first Black mayor to the local drag queens, from a big-time Hollywood star to elderly Jewish couples—could sit down for a warm, home-cooked meal. Here was where, beneath a bright-red awning and surrounded by his multigenerational family, filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin came of age; where he learned to embrace his identity as a gay ABC, or American-born Chinese; where he navigated the divided city’s spiraling misfortunes; and where—between helpings of almond boneless chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, and some of his own, less-savory culinary concoctions—he realized just how much he had to offer to the world, to his beloved family, and to himself.
Served up by the cofounder of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop and structured around the very menu that graced the tables of Chung’s, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant is both a memoir and an invitation: to step inside one boy’s childhood oasis, scoot into a vinyl booth, and grow up with him—and perhaps even share something off the secret menu. ✨

Structuring the memoir around the actual menu from Chung’s is brilliant and intimate. This is about identity, family, belonging, and finding yourself between “almond boneless chicken” and understanding your place in America. At 50% off, this is perfect for fans of Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong or anyone who loved The Farewell. A beautiful, important memoir!

Scattered Worlds (The Scattered Worlds Book 1)
$1.99 (Regularly $3.99) | First Contact Science Fiction | by David Collins
This book introduces the ‘Scattered Worlds’ universe, where an alien race, the Lenovians, performed what should have been a normal “weapons test.” However, their experiment went disastrously wrong, creating thousands of scattered worlds, as if someone had blended them all and then randomly pieced them back together.
Jake Anderson was on his way to a night class at UNH when his car unexpectedly crashed into an impossible wall of snow beside a pool of lava. ❄️ He now finds himself in a chaotic world, a blend of vastly different environments. Walking just under a thousand yards in any direction brings him to an entirely new landscape.
When he attempted to help the first person he met, he discovered they were not human. The strange bipedal humanoid aliens aren’t the main issue; rather, the world they now find themselves in has turned into a dangerous survival scavenger hunt. Jake must locate other survivors, form a tribe composed of several different species, and all while avoiding the dangerous creatures from countless different worlds.
Why I’m including this: Collins created a brilliantly original concept—an alien weapons test BLENDS worlds together like a cosmic smoothie! Jake driving to night class and crashing into “an impossible wall of snow beside a pool of lava” is such a visceral, weird image. The geography itself is the challenge: walk 1,000 yards and you’re in a completely different biome with different dangers. Building a multi-species tribe to survive is fantastic, and the “dangerous creatures from countless different worlds” means literally anything could show up. At 50% off, this is perfect for fans of Dennis E. Taylor’s Bobiverse or anyone who loves high-concept sci-fi with survival stakes!

NEW RELEASES
Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It
NEW RELEASE | Social Aspects of the Internet | by Cory Doctorow
Enshittification: it’s not just you—the internet sucks now. Here’s why, and here’s how we can disenshittify it.
We’re living through the Enshittocene, the Great Enshittening, a time in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of s**t. It’s frustrating. Demoralizing. Even terrifying.
Enshittification identifies the problem and proposes a solution. ✨
When Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification, he was not just finding a funner way to say “things are getting worse.” He was making a specific diagnosis about the state of the digital world and how it is affecting all of our lives (and not for the better).
The once-glorious internet was colonized by platforms that made all-but-magical promises to their users—and, at least initially, seemed to deliver on them. But once users were locked in, the platforms turned on them to make their business customers happy. Then the platforms turned to abusing their business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. In the end, the platforms die.
Doctorow’s argument clearly resonated. Once named, it became obvious that enshittification is everywhere, so much so that the American Dialect Society named it its 2023 Word of the Year, and was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror.
Here, now, in Enshittification the book, Doctorow moves the conversation beyond the overwhelming sense of our inevitably enshittified fate. He shows us the specific decisions that led us here, who made them, and—most important—how they can be undone.
Why I’m including this: Doctorow coined “enshittification” and the American Dialect Society named it 2023 Word of the Year—this BRAND NEW book expands on why everything online feels worse now! His diagnosis is specific: platforms lure users with great service, then abuse users to please business customers, then abuse business customers too, then collapse. Think about how Facebook, Twitter/X, Amazon, Google, Netflix all followed this exact pattern. Doctorow doesn’t just complain—he offers solutions for how to “disenshittify” the internet. Perfect for anyone frustrated with tech platforms, fans of Tim Wu’s The Attention Merchants, or readers who want to understand why their favorite apps keep getting worse. Essential reading for understanding modern tech!

The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life
NEW RELEASE | Business Decision-Making | by Morgan Housel
From the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money and Same as Ever, lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life
Most of us don’t know how to spend money. We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort with excess, and utility with status.
The Art of Spending Money doesn’t provide budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It gives you understanding of how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you.
Morgan Housel’s work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. ✨ With insight and warmth, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness.
This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting.
Why I’m including this: Morgan Housel wrote The Psychology of Money (multi-million copy bestseller), and this BRAND NEW release tackles the harder question: not how to make money, but how to SPEND it well! Most personal finance books focus on earning/saving/investing, but Housel addresses the actual purpose—using money to live better. “We chase things that impress others but leave us cold” is a gut-punch observation. His insight that “the most valuable ROI is peace of mind” and “expectations matter more than income” will change how you think about every purchase. Perfect for anyone who loved his previous books or feels anxious about money despite having enough. This is wisdom, not tactics!
