Strange Sally Diamond

ā€œFor Sally Diamond, people are unpredictable and hard to read. She has always preferred routines to spontaneity and silence to noise. Adopted at age six, she cannot remember any details of her childhood before then. Now forty-three, Sally finds the truth coming into sharp focus when her past becomes headline news: she endured something unthinkable as a child, and now the entire world knows exactly who she is.

Suddenly, Sally herself is in the spotlight. People everywhere are digging into her past, and Sally is learning things about herself and her family that she never knew before. Soon a stranger sends her a familiar teddy bear in the mail, but why does he call her Mary? And why is her new neighbor so obsessed with her?

Told from the alternating perspectives of Sally in the present and a boy named Peter in the past, this is a novel that confronts the trauma of family secrets and explores one woman’s brave decision to define herself and her future.ā€

The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post

ā€œPresidents have come and gone, but Marjorie Merriweather Post has hosted them all. A child of the modest farmlands of the Midwest, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: Always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard-even when you’re American royalty, even when you’re dripping in imperial diamonds. From crawling through Moscow warehouses to rescue a tsar’s treasures to outrunning the N***s in London, from serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Kennedys, Roosevelts, and Hollywood’s biggest stars, Marjorie lived an epic life few could imagine.

Her journey began with gluing labels to cereal boxes in her father’s barn. No one could have predicted that the Post Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Before turning thirty she controlled millions, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States, but it was her life force, advocacy, passion, and adventurous spirit that led to her stunning legacy. Married four times, Marjorie did everything on a magnificent scale, especially when it came to love.

Acclaimed bestselling author Allison Pataki has crafted an epic reimagining of a remarkable life. The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post is an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life figure and a powerful story of one woman finding her voice and embracing her power, while shaping history in the process.ā€

11/22/63

ā€œON NOVEMBER 22, 1963, THREE SHOTS RANG OUT IN DALLAS, PRESIDENT KENNEDY DIED, AND THE WORLD CHANGED. WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE IT BACK?

In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King—who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer—takes readers on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

It begins with Jake Epping, a thirty-five-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away—a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than fifty years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life—like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963—turning on a dime. Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination.

So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson, in a different world of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where there’s Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading eventually, of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful, and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying

Just For the Summer ā˜€ļø

ā€œFOUR DATES, A KISS... AND A BREAKUP.
THAT’S ALL IT WILL TAKE TO FIND THEIR SOULMATE.

When it comes to love, Emma is cursed. Every guy she dates finds his true love after they break up. But it turns out she’s not the only one afflicted with this condition...

His name is Justin, and his Reddit thread about being ā€œlove’s good luck charmā€ has gone viral. Now the two have come up with an ingenious plan: If they date each other, their curses will cancel out and they’ll go on to find their soulmate. Only Justin wasn’t supposed to be so unbelievably cute. And hilarious.

But when Emma’s toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his three siblings, they’re suddenly navigating a lot more than they expected-including catching real feelings.

Has Fate finally brought the perfect pair together, or will their cure be way more hazardous than the curse itself?ā€

The Lion’s Den 🦁

ā€œBelle likes to think herself immune to the dizzying effects of fabulous wealth. But when her best friend, Summer, invites her on a glamorous getaway to the Mediterranean aboard her billionaire boyfriend’s yacht, the only sensible answer is yes. Belle hopes the trip will be a much-needed break from her stalled acting career and uniquely humiliating waitressing job, but once she’s aboard the luxurious Lion’s Den, it soon becomes clear this jet-setting holiday is not as advertised.

Belle’s dream vacation quickly devolves into a nightmare as she and the handful of other girls Summer invited are treated more like prisoners than guests by their controlling host. And in one terrifying moment, Belle comes to see Summer for who she truly is: a vicious gold digger who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Belle realizes she’s going to have to keep her wits about her—and her own big secret closely hidden—if she wants to make it off the yacht alive.ā€

One True Loves -

ā€œIn her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts. They travel the world together-Emma as a freelance writer, Jesse as a production assistant on nature documentaries-living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure.

On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on an assignment in the Aleutian Islands when his helicopter goes missing over the Pacific. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever. Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together.

Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness. That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying to come home to her all these years. Emma now has a husband and a fiancĆ©, but who is her one true love? And what does it even mean to love truly?

Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying.ā€
