  • A BEST BOOK OF THE FALL FOR OPRAH DAILY AND TIME

    A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE, COUNTRY LIVING, AND BOOKPAGE

    The #1 New York Times bestselling author of global sensation Lessons in Chemistry returns with an irresistible, delightful, and tender literary novel set in the publishing world of 1980s New York City about a young man whose life turns upside down when he is hired by the most prestigious, secretive, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck & Peck.

    Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.

    It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, muggings are in the streets, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants--an "ear" for poetry--is worried about his future. While all of his friends have real jobs, he's folding T-shirts at the Gap. As for love? No. Not unless you count Sallie Mae, the student loan tyrant. He hears from Sallie all the time.

    But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon Batter is knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers--twins and enemies--as well as being privy to the private affairs of their thirty-nine editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.

    And by burn, they mean incinerate. Because at Peck & Peck, "good" isn't good enough, "interesting" doesn't cut it, plagiarists aren't tolerated, and parolees run the mailroom. Still want to submit your poem? Go with God.

    Welcome to another dazzling and unforgettable novel from Bonnie Garmus. If you loved Lessons in Chemistry, you will love Peck & Peck.

  • The secrets for how to live a happy, enlightened life from three charming Buddhist monks and Toshio Suzuki, the Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli producer behind internationally beloved and acclaimed films including Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and The Boy and the Heron.

    One visionary filmmaker. Three Buddhist monks. Countless life-changing lessons.

    How do we live now? In Zen and Ghibli, legendary Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki embarks on an intellectual journey with three leading Buddhist monks--Sokyu Gen'yu, Nanrei Yokota, and Shinsuke Hosokawa--to explore Zen themes woven into the universally treasured Ghibli films. In ways unpredictable and delightful, life-changing lessons are revealed, such as:

    zazen, redirecting our focus inward (Kiki's Delivery Service)

    kunjū, learning through observation (The Wind Rises)

    fushiki, strength in not knowing (Princess Mononoke)

    furyū monji, how to convey feelings that cannot be expressed into words (Howl's Moving Castle)

    From the skill of embodying nothingness as a form of worry relief, to why Kiki's black cat Jiji stopped talking, each conversation gradually reveals a basic principle that lies at the very heart of Zen Buddhism and Studio Ghibli--that we, and our world, are worth fighting for.

    Beautifully illustrated with Japanese artwork and stills from these iconic films, Zen and Ghibli is at once a charming antidote for our times and a fascinating glimpse into the magic of Studio Ghibli that has shaped fans for over forty years.

  • A ragtag group of activists sets out to repatriate the bones of a Blackfeet boy taken to the infamous Carlisle Indian Industrial School in author Stephen Graham Jones's return to the Blackfeet reservation of his award-winning New York Times bestsellers The Only Good Indians and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter.

    Five years have passed since the massacre on the Blackfeet reservation in Stephen Graham Jones's breakout bestseller The Only Good Indians. Nathan Yellow Tail, one of the survivors of the revenge murders, finds himself in the hospital after a terrible accident that should've killed him and that nearly killed his best friend, Sebby, who is hanging on to life in a room a few doors down.

    Nate's life is out of balance, so when he is given the chance to reset his life, and maybe save Sebby in the process, Nate steps up, again. This time it's into a camper van that is almost as run down as his broken body, filled with three older Blackfeet, to find the bones of the lone Blackfeet boy who died at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School--where many Indigenous children were abused--and repatriate this boy home. The problem is, when they get the bones, something terrible has escaped with them.

    By turns terrifying and deeply moving, Off the Reservation is a haunting American Indian novel of survival, reckoning, and redemption, shining light on the dark corners of this country's history while also showing the desperate choices people make when they're put up against a wall.

  • "An absolute masterpiece of a book. North is one of the imaginative greats." --Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time

    A future that is already broken. A paradox that must be solved. A love that can never be erased.

    ?An extraordinary tale of time travel, betrayal, and queer romance, from Claire North, the multi-award-winning author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.

    In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.

    When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what's the point of being a time traveler if you can't make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there--nothing Cal can't fix, to save the man he loves.

    When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.

    And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives Cal and Fadimatu have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself.

  • "Brian Kilmeade provides us with a variation of Profiles in Courage focused on our Founders. It ranges from John Adams, who made the controversial decision to legally represent British soldiers who were part of the Boston Massacre, to his son John Quincy Adams, who defends the enslaved Africans in the Amistad case. These half dozen men helped unify our country and establish our narrative of striving for a more perfect union."--WALTER ISAACSON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk

    "Fascinating, intriguing, heart-pounding; history the way it should be! Brian Kilmeade's Uniting the States reminds us that we have been through difficult times in the past 250 years, and the character of great Americans has always shined through--and always will."--ADMIRAL WILLIAM H. MCRAVEN (US Navy, Ret.), #1 New York Times bestselling author of Make Your Bed

    #1 New York Times bestselling author and FOX & Friends cohost takes us through the crucible of the early defining days of America with six extraordinary men who helped to define what freedom would mean for our fledgling nation: John Adams, George Washington, Captain Daniel Shays, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Quincy Adams.

    Brian Kilmeade's page-turning and riveting storytelling transports us to 1770 and the unshakeable John Adams as he does the unthinkable and defends the British soldiers accused at the Boston Massacre--but he is willing to risk his life and reputation to establish the rule of law as an essential American value. Then there is George Washing­ton, who, outnumbered and outgunned against the most powerful military force in the world, innovates a new way of warfare and an improbable road to victory in the Rev­olutionary War. Captain Daniel Shays follows, a man who loses everything to stand up for the little man while help­ing to inspire the Constitutional Convention.

    The visionary Thomas Jefferson remakes the country in 1803, doubling its boundaries by masterminding the Lou­isiana Purchase from none other than Napoleon Bona­parte. James Madison challenges the British Goliath again, declaring the War of 1812 and rallying the United States in its first foray into making America a respected world power. Finally, John Quincy Adams, the conscience of the country, launches the nation's hardest-ever conversation, attempting to erase America's original sin.

    When the colonists threw off British rule, they launched a great experiment in democracy. Self-government by the people, with a sworn commitment to equality and liberty for all, had never been tried. In the pages of this book, Brian Kilmeade tells us how the six heroes united the fledgling United States of America in its early decades, setting our nation on a trajectory unlike any other.
