  • The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family

    "Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does." --Jodi Picoult

    Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So when her real dad--a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago--suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

  • A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl.

    All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there's a complication.

    Even though the settlers were promised they'd be left in peace, Earth's government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an "eviction action." But maximizing profits will always be Apex's number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes?

    The game is called Operation Bounce House.

    Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who've paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he's ever known.

  • In latest thriller from the world's most popular storyteller, detective partners Alex Cross and John Sampson are called to separate locations to investigate a pair of serious crimes.

    Stream Season 2 of the #1-rated Cross in February 2026!

    In Washington, DC ...

    Metro PD detective John Sampson stands in a crater in the middle of a DC street, calling in the bomb squad. "Dispatch, this is Sampson. Contact the FBI and the ATF. We've got a suspected terrorist attack here."

    In Chapel Hill, NC ...

    Alex Cross searches the apartment of a missing psychology grad student--his own son Damon. Has following in his famous father's footsteps made Damon a target?

    From FBI headquarters, in police stations, on airplanes, and at murder scenes, the detectives track crimes committed hundreds of miles apart. It will take more than distance to weaken the partnership of Sampson & Cross.

  • A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

    A WASHINGTON POST TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

    A LOS ANGELES TIMES TOP FIFTEEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

    Shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, a novel about forgiveness, grief, and what it means to be good, from the award-winning author of The Weekend.

    "Stone Yard Devotional is as extraordinary as you've heard." --The Washington Post

    "An exquisite, wrenching novel of leaving your life behind." --New York Times Book Review

    "Meditative (but by no means uneventful)." --New York Times

    "Riveting prose about how humans beat back despair."--Los Angeles Times

    Burnt out and in need of retreat, a middle-aged woman leaves Sydney to return to the place she grew up, taking refuge in a small religious community hidden away on the stark plains of rural Australia. She doesn't believe in God, or know what prayer is, and finds herself living this strange, reclusive existence almost by accident.

    But disquiet interrupts this secluded life with three visitations. First comes a terrible mouse plague, each day signaling a new battle against the rising infestation. Second is the return of the skeletal remains of a sister who disappeared decades before, presumed murdered. And finally, a troubling visitor plunges the narrator further back into her past.

    Meditative, moving, and finely observed, Stone Yard Devotional is a seminal novel from a writer of rare power, exploring what it means to retreat from the world, the true nature of forgiveness, and the sustained effect of grief on the human soul.

  • An enemies-to-lovers spicy novella set in the world of video gaming from the New York Times bestselling author of Problematic Summer Romance--now in print and ebook!

    Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, aka her archnemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her--and Viola has no idea why.

    When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can't think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.

    But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there's more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.

  • DELUXE PAPERBACK WITH GORGEOUS PINK SPRAYED EDGES

    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD! - GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR BEST MEMOIR - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY PEOPLE

    Named a Best Book of the Year by Elle, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, NPR, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, and more!

    "In Britney Spears's memoir, she's stronger than ever." --The New York Times

    Critically acclaimed as "a miracle" (The Guardian), "powerful" (Los Angeles Times), "radiant" (The New York Times), and "poignant" (Vogue), The Woman in Me reveals for the first time Britney Spears's incredible story.

    "A genuine page-turner" ( Financial Times), it's "presented so cleanly and candidly, The Woman in Me seems designed to be read in one sitting" ( The New York Times). A "heartbreaking, jaw-dropping, but ultimately empowering story" ( New York Post), this unforgettable memoir is "a testament to Spears's essential fortitude of spirit--something that burns off these pages" ( The Telegraph).

  • Available in paperback at last, Peter Heller's masterful coming-of-age tale, the story of a mother and daughter living on a Vermont apple orchard, escaping ghosts of the past.

    Hayley and her seven-year-old daughter, Frith, live in a rustic cabin with no electricity in the foothills of Vermont's Green Mountains. A renowned translator of Tang dynasty poetry, Hayley walked away from her career and her addict husband to raise Frith alone in a land populated not by ambition-fueled academics but by hawks, beavers, and other wild things--including their exuberant Bernese Mountain dog, Bear. They get by on what little they earn from their overgrown apple orchard and the syrup they make from their maple trees. Frith-- precocious, homeschooled, and a voracious reader--considers herself queen of this backwoods paradise. She is too young to understand the pain and regret that have followed her mother here.

    Season after season, it is the three of them--mother, daughter, and dog--until the spring day when Rose Lattimore appears at their door and upends Hayley and Frith's solitary existence. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Frith must come to terms with heartbreak for the very first time. By turns joyful and searing, The Orchard reminds us that, even during the hardest of times, the enduring power of nature, love, and friendship will prevail.

  • Love is in the air! The Peanuts gang shares their musings on love in this beautifully packaged gift book for fans of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the rest of Charles M. Schulz's beloved characters.

    Celebrate all types of love Peanuts style, with the help of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Sally, Lucy, and more. From what to write to the Little Red-Haired Girl to waiting for Valentine's Day letters, this sweet little package is brimming with heartwarming musings. You'll be calling your loved one "Sweet Baboo" or telling your friends to make their move, just like when Sally tells Charlie Brown to "Kiss her you blockhead!" before you know it.

  • REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A shocking story, made all the more stunning by the fact that it has its roots in true history."--Jodi Picoult, author of By Any Other Name

    "A new generation of survival story . . . an extraordinary book that reads like a thriller, written with the care of the most delicate psychological and historical fiction."--Vogue (Best of 2025 Preview)

    A young woman and her lover are marooned on an island in this "lushly painted" (People) historical epic of love, faith, and defiance from the bestselling author of Sam.

    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, KIRKUS REVIEWS - FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE - LONGLISTED FOR THE AMERICAN LIBRARY IN PARIS BOOK AWARD

    Heir to a fortune, Marguerite is destined for a life of prosperity and gentility. Then she is orphaned, and her guardian--an enigmatic and volatile man--spends her inheritance and insists she accompany him on an expedition to New France. That journey takes a unexpected turn when Marguerite, accused of betrayal, is brutally punished and abandoned on a small island.

    Once a child of privilege who dressed in gowns and laced pearls in her hair, Marguerite finds herself at the mercy of nature. As the weather turns, blanketing the island in ice, she discovers a faith she'd never before needed.

    Inspired by the real life of a sixteenth-century heroine, Isola is the timeless story of a woman fighting for survival.

  • From the world's #1 bestselling author, The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe is a true crime thriller about a woman who changed Hollywood history, and whose indelible image captures our imagination to this day.

    "Electrifying ... A spellbinding new account of the star's final days by the world's greatest thriller writer." -- Daily Mail

    In life, Marilyn Monroe's superstardom defies classification. In death, she remains shrouded in mystery.

    In the months before her death, Marilyn polishes the script for her ultimately unfinished film, Something's Got to Give.

    In the weeks before her death, she drinks champagne on Santa Monica Beach with the last photographer to take her picture.

    In the days before her death, she's a guest of Frank Sinatra in the Celebrity Room at the Cal Neva Lodge.

    In the hours before her death, she argues with US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and his brother-in-law Peter Lawford.

    In an emergency session with her psychiatrist, she confesses: "Here I am, the most beautiful woman in the world, and I do not have a date for Saturday night."

    On June 1, 2026, the world celebrates Marilyn Monroe's one hundredth birthday ... without her.

    "Entertaining ... bursting with anecdotes ... zippy pacing and novelistic detail ... Readers with a soft spot for Hollywood's perennial muse will find plenty to enjoy."-- Publishers Weekly
