BEHIND THE GLASS, EVERYTHING IS MORE BEAUTIFUL On the Santa Cruz waterfront, every house is as perfect as the people inside. Not so for Mitty and Bethel, the oddball pair in the dilapidated bungalow – they are the last vestiges of a town now housing the tech elite. But Mitty is about to cross the threshold. Someone has arrived next door who finally wants to know this forgotten girl. Lena is different and she knows it. Reliant on her entrepreneur boyfriend Sebastian, her life is oddly limited for someone bathed in wealth. But when she sees Mitty, Lena begins to recognize a part of herself she has yet to face, something anxious, something broken – something real. And in this salt-blasted town, friendship will bleed into obsession, minds and bodies will betray, and the past will come back with a howl and a bite. Thrilling, seductive and prescient, WHOEVER YOU ARE HONEY is a blazing debut that dissects perfection, examines how women are made and explodes the intersection of passion, technology, and power. ©2024 Olivia Gatwood (P)2024 Penguin Audio

Title: Menewood: A Novel Series: #2 of THe Hild Sequence Author: Nicola Griffith Narrator: Pearl Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 28 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 3, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Named a Best Book of the Year by Vox and Autostraddle Making a much-anticipated return to the world of Hild, Nicola Griffith’s Menewood transports readers back to seventh-century Britain, a land of rival kings and religions poised for epochal change. Hild is no longer the bright child who made a place in Edwin Overking’s court with her seemingly supernatural insight. She is eighteen, honed and tested, the formidable lady of Elmet, now building her personal stronghold in the valley of Menewood. But old alliances are fraying. Younger rivals are snapping at Edwin’s heels. War is brewing—bitter war, winter war. Not knowing whom to trust, Edwin becomes volatile and recalls his young advisor to court. There Hild begins to understand the true extent of the chaos ahead—and realizes she must find a way to navigate the turbulence and fight to protect both the kingdom and her own people. She will face the losses and devastation of total war, and then must summon the determination to forge a radically different path for herself and her people. In the valley, her last redoubt, Hild draws strength from the fierce joy she finds in the natural world, as, slowly, her community takes root. She trains herself and her unexpected allies in new ways of thinking, learning what it means to gather and wield true power. And she prepares for one last wager: risking all on a single throw for a better future. In the last decade, Hild has become a beloved classic of epic storytelling. Menewood exceeds it in every way.

Title: [Spanish] - 41 Author: Rogelio Guedea Narrator: Ignacio Casas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 24, 2023 Genres: Literary Fiction Publisher's Summary: Basada en hechos reales que escandalizaron a México hace menos de un lustro, 41 cuenta dos historias paralelas que solo el lector podrá unir a medida que avance en la enigmática intriga. Por un lado, la vida de El Japonés, pequeño habitante de un mundo sórdido donde drogas, violencia intrafamiliar, incesto y pedofilia serán siempre un lugar común. Por el otro, la investigación policial que los ya conocidos judiciales Sabino y Román realizan sobre los misteriosos crímenes perpetrados en contra de homosexuales, entre quienes se encontrará el hermano de un político importante. La búsqueda de pesquisas para dar con el asesino irá abriendo, además, una ventana no solo para mostrar el lado más oscuro de la política mexicana —su corrupción, sus redes de pornografía infantil, sus traiciones y venganzas—, sino también para ponderar, mediante la ironía, el humor negro y hasta el sarcasmo, los agónicos pero aún vivos valores de la amistad y el amor filial. 'Rogelio Guedea es un narrador de sangre fría. Experto en el manejo de la sordidez y conocedor del lenguaje duro que la explica.'—Élmer Mendoza, El Universal 'Rogelio Guedea es un escritor al que de aquí en adelante hay que seguirle los pasos.'—Paco Ignacio Taibo II, El Informador 'Guedea se consolida como uno de los mejores narradores mexicanos.'—Yuri Herrera, La Jornada Semanal

Some love stories are worth risking everything for. Wren leaves home and heartbreak to spend the summer with her father and step-family on their farm in Indiana, Midwestern USA. More than anything she hopes this trip will provide a chance to heal and build bridges. There Wren meets two brothers. Jonas is a notorious heartbreaker and Anders is still grieving the wife he lost in a tragic accident three years ago. In spite of being warned off falling for either of them, Wren is inextricably drawn to Anders. As the harvest approaches, Wren knows her feelings are growing stronger. What Wren doesn't know is that Anders has been harbouring an earth-shattering secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone. Walking away from Anders will hurt Wren more than she can imagine. But how can she possibly stay once she's discovered the obstacles that lie between them? 'Deep, emotional, powerful, beautifully written with a masterful tender touch - this book is a must-read.' Milly Johnson 'Paige Toon writes such beautiful, emotional love stories.
