BYOB When Coos County Oregon Ran Dry
by William "Bill" Lansing

Local historian and author Bill Lansing spent 40 years working for Menasha, and in his retirement he began writing plenty of books covering local history of Coos County and Coos Bay/North Bend. His latest book BYOB covers the time in history where the prohibition movement was in full swing and so were the moonshine distilleries. Oregon was no different in its urge for drink, and while there was never any big notable gangsters or figureheads to the movement, there were still plenty of gunfights. Coos and Curry counties were some of the most isolated counties of the state at the time. They were full of young loggers, fishermen, and farmers, with plenty of isolated land to hide stills. This peek into the past has eight chapters spanning the from the early 1900s all the way to the 1940s and has plenty of photos, old newspaper clippings, and more inside. Bill's books are always a great read! Pick up or order a copy with us today 📚🌲🍺

Songs of the Dead
by Brandon Sanderson and Peter Orullian

Brandon Sanderson is most well known for his Mistborn and Stormlight Archive books, as well as plenty of other bestselling fantasy novels. Peter Orullian is a fantasy author, musician, and composer. Together they have teamed up on a brand new urban fantasy series The Strata Wars.

Jack Solomon is a heavy metal musician from Los Angeles living in London's West End after starting the metal band The Hounds of Winter. He wakes up one morning to find that he's seemingly been fired from his band via email, a week before they're set to be openers for Black Sabbath at Wembley Stadium. As he's headed to legendary pub and music venue Iron Horse to drown his sorrows and lament with the owner, and his mentor, Henry, a strange woman gives him an odd looking stone and a cryptic message about "finding her if he wakes up" and Jack just assumes she's an intense Hounds fan. Later, Jack and Henry are both shot and seemingly murdered by a man in a long peacoat and black metal corpsepaint.

Jack wakes up to an awful hellscape and Henry telling him there's more for him to do, then wakes up again to an empty street with Henry nowhere to be found. He gets chased by a hulking beast back to the Iron Horse and learns that all is not as it seems. Jack is apparently a thanatist, which is definitely NOT a necromancer, but someone who can bind souls using powers based on light and music and walk between life and death, and past and present. As he assumes control over Iron Horse, Jack learns it's actually the entrance to the Strata. Layers and layers of London's ghostly history and afterlife just under the surface. The dead souls of the Strata have been seeking to weaken the wards of Iron Horse and remake the living modern world in their image. Between searching for the identity of Henry's murderer and preventing the creatures and ghosts of the Strata from escaping Jack has a LOT of work cut out for him. With music being the underlying beat of this unique urban fantasy take, Songs of the Dead is the first book of what is shaping up to be a solid series. Pick up or order a copy with us today!

A Parade of Horribles
by Matt Dinniman

A Parade of Horribles is the eighth and newest entry into bestseller Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Explosively popular and based off of roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons, A Parade of Horribles picks up where the last book left off, with panic outside the dungeon as everyone reels in the wake of the Faction Wars. Carl and Princess Donut meanwhile are on the tenth floor of the dungeon, completing what seems like normal, mundane tasks. They must compete in races, not come in last, and after each race they must pick a new upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets even harder.

They find it a little too normal, a little too easy for the dungeon and suspect there's more than meets the eye. But the system AI insists they ignore those increasing in frequency glitches, and to ignore the whispers of what's happening in the eleventh floor, something the system calls A Parade of Horribles. Not that anyone knows what that means, the showrunners have no idea either, but the system AI dubbed it a "coming-out party for the ages."

Carl is feeling stifled by the seemingly easy tasks and mindless grinding of the tenth floor, and secretly plans his own party. One that is so dangerous and insane that he can't talk to his friends about it to prevent the system AI from stopping it before it even happens. If it goes wrong, it won't just be the end for Carl and Donut, but a whole lot more than that. This book also features part eight of the bonus short story Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.

The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms
by Amy Stewart

Bestselling Portland author of The Drunken Botanist, Wicked Weeds, Wicked Plants, The Tree Collectors, and a few other works returns with an ecological deep dive into earthworms. They may be small, spineless, and blind, but their impact on the ecological system they create does everything from microplowing soil, fighting plant diseases, cleaning up pollutants, and turning fallow soil into fertile. Charles Darwin devoted years to study worms, and in turn inspired Amy Stewart to dig up, pun intended, everything she can about them. From Australian worms that can stretch to ten feet in length, to a classic nightcrawler, she has spent a lot of time talking to oligochaetologists (people who literally study worms!) and observing the worms in her own garden. Amy Stewart has done what she can to give the worms justice while keeping a little humor injected into her observations. Pick up or order a copy with us today! 🪱📚

Take Me To Your Leader Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter
by Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Renowned astrophysicist, bestselling author, director of the Hayden Planetarium, and radio host of StarTalk (among many other notable things) Neil DeGrasse Tyson returns with a humor injected look at how a potential first meeting with aliens could go. He touches on pop culture, science backed research, and his own aspirations as a kid of being abducted by aliens, while applying universal laws of physics to attempt to see what potential aliens could look like. They probably wouldn't look like humans, to start. Humans share 25% of our DNA with bananas, with our closest common ancestor to the fruit being one and a half billion years ago (there's a banana split joke in there). We'd likely share no genetic makeup with aliens. So would they be gas clouds, or look like octopuses? What if they're super tiny and the size of super intelligent fleas, or made up of some undiscovered or rare matter? Are they already among us, or could we be alone? The possibilities are endless, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson covers a lot of what ifs in a way that even non astrophysicists can understand, and makes astrophysics and science commentary easy to digest and fun to read.

With the Enduring Tides
by Jane Kirkpatrick

Bestselling author and local Oregonian Jane Kirkpatrick returns to Cannon Beach in a follow-up to her novel Across the Crying Sands. Mary Gerritse is a rural postal worker who navigates the rugged Oregon coastal terrain to support her husband and children. Her father has sent word that her mother is sick, and travels with her 11 year old daughter Belle to the small town her parents are in to help. Upon arrival, she finds her father hired a nurse, Virginia, to care for her dementia stricken mother. Mary's incredibly wary of the stranger, but slowly the trust between them builds despite Virginia's questionable past. It's just enough trust that when Belle requests to stay with her grandparents instead of returning home with her mother, Mary must choose to let her stay so she can return to her postal duties.

Mary's doubts of her own independent nature passing along to Belle worry her, and a shocking family secret comes to light that sets Mary further adrift in her uncertainty. Her friends are willing to aid Mary in her troubles, despite their own personal struggles. Through her bonds with her friends, the healing between Mary and her family can begin. This is a great addition to Jane Kirkpatrick's extensive body of work and is definitely a solid continuation of Across the Crying Sands. Pick up or order a copy with us today!

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
by Ilona Andrews

Multiple times bestsellers, and writing under a pseudonym, married author duo Ilona Andrews returns with an interesting twist on the transmigration trope, and a beginning to a new series Maggie the Undying. Maggie, modern day millennial somebody on verge of burnout, falls asleep in her Texas home and wakes up to find herself naked in a ditch. Maggie is terrified, but she soon realizes she has woken up in a place she recognizes intimately. With strange creatures and soaring towers the land of Rellas is a fictional world set in her ultimate favorite, but long avandoned and unfinished, fantasy series Kair Toren. At first, Maggie is confused that she woke up in a ditch, and isn't some magical girl savior to the place she loves, but realizes quickly that she somehow wakes up after death. More than once.

Armed with the knowledge gleaned from rereading the books constantly, Maggie just has to survive the world of the Kair Toren and get home...eventually. In the meantime, why not use her undying self to save her favorite characters who have become as real as herself? Rellas is teetering on the precipice of destruction. With a looming invasion of the Crimson Empire and a tyrannic ruler ready to raze it all. Maggie decides she is determined to change the course of the events leading to it to save Rellas and all that she holds dear that has become her new reality. She allies herself with swordsman Reynald Kairs, and makes networks and connections using what she's memorized from the books to change the fate of Rellas. Will she help her beloved characters, or will her actions change the plot to something even she can't predict? Pick up or order a copy with us today!
