  • REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK - INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB'S BOOK OF THE YEAR - LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (NPR, TIME, USA Today, The Economist, Scientific American, Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, BuzzFeed, BookRiot, HuffPost, Jezebel, The Globe and Mail, Kirkus , and more!)

    "A breathtaking novel of ROMANCE, MYSTERY, AND TWISTS that will shock you...I love this book so much." --Reese Witherspoon

    "A WILDLY TALENTED writer." ―Emily St. John Mandel

    "Absolutely ASTONISHING. McConaghy's writing knocks me over every time." --Fredrik Backman

    "SPELLBINDING...Exceptionally imagined, thoroughly humane." --Washington Post

    "My absolute FAVORITE book of 2025." --Carley Fortune

    A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon.

    Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world's largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore.

    Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again.

    But Rowan isn't telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it's too late--and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.

    A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.

  • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD - How does the greatest writer of our time tell her own story?

    NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST

    "The most spectacular, hilarious, and generous autobiography of the last quarter century-or ever."--The Boston Globe

    Raised by scientifically minded parents, Margaret Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec: a vast playground for her entomologist father and independent, resourceful mother. It was an unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling and beautiful.

    From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking key moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel school year that would become Cat's Eye to the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began The Handmaid's Tale. In pages alive with the natural world, reading and books, major political turning points, and her lifelong love for the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood stars, and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.

    As she explores her past, Atwood reveals more and more about her writing, the connections between real life and art--and the workings of one of our very greatest imaginations.

  • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - "A glorious sweep of a novel" (Ann Patchett) that weaves the intimate lives of two midwestern families across generations, from World War II to the late twentieth century.

    "Mesmerizing."--People

    "Captivating."--The New York Times Book Review

    "A once-in-a-decade novel . . . I fell in love with these characters."--Jenna Bush Hager

    ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, NPR, People, Minnesota Star Tribune, New York Post, Chicago Public Library

    FINALIST FOR THE OHIO BOOK AWARD - LONGLISTED FOR THE JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE AND THE MARK TWAIN AMERICAN VOICE IN LITERATURE AWARD

    That, as he saw it now, was his life's work: trying to make right what he'd gotten wrong. Wasn't that a fair measure of a person, what they did with their mistakes?

    In the jubilant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe, Cal Jenkins, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it, shares a single, life-altering moment with Margaret Salt, a woman determined to outrun her past. Cal is married to Becky, whose spiritual gifts help the living speak to the dead, while Margaret's husband, Felix, is serving at sea, believed to be safe--until a telegram suggests otherwise.

    What begins as a fleeting transgression becomes a complex secret that irrevocably binds all four of them in unexpected ways. As their small Ohio town remakes itself in the postwar boom, the Salt and Jenkins families remain in each other's orbit, and the consequences of choices made long ago begin to emerge, reshaping their lives in ways that will forever impact the next generation.

    Sweeping yet intimate, resplendent with moments of deep emotion and unforgettable characters, Buckeye is a transportive story of love, loyalty, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

  • Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

    Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

    Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn't say where he was going or why.

    With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it's too late.

  • From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz comes a gripping, timely, 96-page bonus story about one girl's treacherous immigration journey that can be read alongside the novel Two Degrees, or on its own.

    Daniela López is on a life-or-death journey.

    Forced to flee their beloved home in Honduras, Dani and her family were headed north in search of safety--until a treacherous mistake ripped Dani's parents away. Now, Dani and her younger brother Carlos are on their own, and they have no choice but to keep going, in the desperate hope of finding their parents at the Mexico-United States border.

    But to get there, they will have to ride on top of a roaring freight train known as "The Beast."

    Rickety and deadly, The Beast makes hairpin turns at terrifying speeds and shoots through dark tunnels. And there is the constant danger of being caught by gangs and kidnappers along the way.

    Surrounded by hundreds of fellow refugees, Daniela will have to figure out who she can and cannot trust--and fast. Otherwise, she and Carlos might not stand a chance of surviving...

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz (Refugee; Two Degrees) this timely original story, sensitively told, gives today's readers an accessible and gripping look at the immigrant experience and the courage it takes to start over.
