    A woman approaching fifty must rejoin the workforce while juggling motherhood, a crumbling marriage, and midlife chaos in this “brilliant, funny, and tender” novel (Booklist, starred review).

    Kate Reddy had it all: a lovely home, two adorable kids, and a good husband. Then her kids became teenagers (read: monsters), and her husband, Richard, quit his job to pursue “enlightenment”—which includes Lycra outfits, green potions, and endless therapy sessions funded by their dwindling bank account. With Richard no longer contributing financially, Kate must return to work.

    Unfortunately, companies aren’t lining up to hire forty-nine-year-old mothers. So, Kate improvises—shaving years off her age, hiring a personal trainer, joining a Women Returners group, and crafting a resume worthy of a creative writing prize.

    Landing a role at the hedge fund she once founded, Kate must now juggle a demanding job, teenage meltdowns, and caring for her aging parents—all while the clock ticks toward her fiftieth birthday. To complicate matters, an old flame resurfaces, and she finds herself navigating everything from Russian mobsters to a runaway stallion.

    Surely it will all work out in the end…right? How hard can it be?

  • Book of the Day: The Hushed

    The HushedThe Hushed by K. R. Blair

    Perfect for fans of The Last Thing He Told Me and A Flicker in the Dark, The Hushed is a haunting paranormal thriller—infused with dangerous, forbidden romance—that introduces a chilling new kind of undead.

    Eerie Ashwood may seem like a regular college student—working at a local diner and attending community college—but she’s not. She’s a Hushed, a living secret made of flesh and blood, born from the death of someone with something to hide. The Hushed blend in among humans but are driven by an overwhelming urge to reveal their secret to those it would hurt the most. The catch? Once they confess, they die.

    Unlike most of her kind, Eerie and her brother, Fabian, can’t remember their secrets. All they know is their connection to the infamous Ironbark Prison fire, a memory clouded by smoke and fear. Everything changes when Eerie meets Logan Winspeare—the rebellious son of a fire victim—who is determined to uncover the truth behind his mother’s death. Eerie knows she should stay away from Logan and the mysteries of that night, but her curiosity—and her growing attraction to him—proves impossible to resist.

    The closer Eerie gets to Logan, the nearer she comes to unraveling her secret—and sealing her fate. As she digs deeper, she discovers her secret is linked to something far more dangerous: an ancient legacy of vengeance, hidden for thousands of years, and a covert organization of Hushed determined to bring down the human world.

  • Book of the Day: Into the Wild

    Into the WildInto the Wild by Jon Krakauer

    Over 12,200 5-Star Reviews!

    Into the Wild tells the unforgettable true story of Christopher McCandless, a young man who abandoned everything to seek meaning in the Alaskan wilderness—and paid the ultimate price.

    In April 1992, McCandless, from a well-to-do family, hitchhiked to Alaska and ventured alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. Four months later, his decomposed body was discovered by a moose hunter. Before his tragic end, McCandless had donated $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car, burned the cash in his wallet, and invented a new identity—Alexander Supertramp—on a quest for raw, unfiltered freedom.

    Immediately after graduating college in 1991, McCandless roamed the West and Southwest, inspired by the spirit of Jack London and John Muir. He sought a “blank spot on the map” and severed ties with his family, leaving his desperate parents and sister behind.

    Jon Krakauer pieces together McCandless’s final journey with empathy and precision, unraveling the motivations behind his pilgrimage. As McCandless’s innocent mistakes turn fatal, he becomes a polarizing figure—praised for his ideals, condemned for his recklessness. Krakauer’s narrative, equal parts investigation and tribute, illuminates McCandless’s story without sentimentality, offering a haunting reflection on the allure and cost of solitude.

    Into the Wild is a stunning work of storytelling that continues to captivate and provoke readers.
