Porcupines
Los Angeles, 2001. Sonia is raising her daughter, Mila, alone in the sunny but somnolent suburbs of LA. Her days are a blur of not-quite-illegal business activities, avoiding other moms, and baking birthday cakes laced with rum: minor mistakes that nevertheless remind her she doesn't belong.
Mila, meanwhile, is juggling violin and swimming lessons and navigating the treacherous social politics of school - all the while trying to get her mother to share something, anything, about her past.
But there are just too many things that Mila doesn't know:
She doesn't know that her mother grew up in Soviet Hungary (where getting your hands on a banana was one of the greatest thrills in life)
She doesn't know that her mother has a sister called Rina (whom she hasn't spoken to in 10 years)
The only thing she does know about her father is that he was a 'good time' (according to her mother)
Crucially, she doesn't know that there is a very good reason why her mother dodges everyone, from traffic cops to vice principals.
So, Mila concocts a scheme to get her mother, and the man Mila is kind of sure must be her father to reconnect. It involves corralling Sonia into chaperoning an orchestra of ten-year-olds (most of whom seem to be called Megan) on a road trip from LA to San Francisco, and it may just cause their carefully constructed lives to implode.
Moving between Budapest before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington, DC in the tense years of the Cold War and the bright sunshine of early 2000s Los Angeles, Porcupines is an irresistible novel about mothers and daughters, belonging and reinvention, the things we carry with us, and those we tell ourselves we've left behind.
Stay for a Spell
Princess Tanadelle of the Widdenmar is disillusioned with life as a princess. She longs for real conversation, the chance to build a life of her own making, and uninterrupted reading time.
During a routine royal visit to the town of Little Pepperidge, Tandy’s dream comes true when she finds herself cursed to remain in a run-down bookshop until she unlocks her heart’s desire. Certain that someone will figure out how to break the curse eventually, and delighted by the prospect of an entire bookstore of her own, Tandy settles into life among the stacks. She finds it easy to exchange balls and endless state dinners for teetering piles of books and an irritatingly handsome pirate who seems bent on stealing her stock.
She even starts to believe she's stumbled into her very own happily ever after.
There's just one, minor problem: as Tandy's royal duties go unfulfilled, her frantic parents start sending princes to woo her, each one of them certain their kiss will break the curse. After all, what more could a princess want but a prince?

The Gospel of John
The contentious life and times of the most widely cited book of the New TestamentWritten some two thousand years ago, the Gospel of John is the only Christian Gospel to place Jesus at the creation of the world, and the only one where we find the stories of the raising of Lazarus, the woman taken in adultery, and the changing of water into wine at the wedding in Cana. The Gospel of John also points an accusing finger at Jesus’s Jewish opponents and has been used by medieval crusaders, Protestant reformers, and white supremacists to legitimize antisemitic violence. Kim Haines-Eitzen traces the legacy of this complex, beautiful, and at times deeply troubling work, from its composition in the late first century to its enduring power today. Haines-Eitzen sheds light on the book’s reception by early Christian gnostic and patristic commentators, its use in the Crusades and Reformation, its revered status among American evangelicals, and the many ways it has inspired novels, films, music, and art. The earliest papyrus fragment of an identifiably Christian Gospel is a fragment of John, and John is the only canonical Gospel that depicts Jesus as a savior who teaches openly about his divinity. Haines-Eitzen shows how John simultaneously carries a message of inclusion and intolerance, and how its story teaches us about the nature and enormous influence of scriptural religions. Compelling and provocative, The Gospel of John reveals how this dynamic, malleable biblical work has both unified and divided Christians over centuries of translation, interpretation, and creative reimagining.
The Connection Code
A guide for women to stop seeking outside validation and turn inward—because the connection they’ve been searching for has been inside them all along. Many of us women feel disconnected from ourselves, our purpose, our passions, and from a deep sense of belonging that we crave. The Connection Code is here to change that for every woman in every stage of life who has ever felt stuck in self-doubt, sick of people-pleasing, and listless just going through the motions of the day, checking off her never-ending to do list instead of truly living. The Connection Code reveals a powerful new paradigm: Our ego isn’t the enemy, it's just misunderstood. By learning to befriend and partner with the ego instead of power over or fight against it women become empowered from within—unlocking a whole new level of clarity, confidence, and ease accessible at any time—even amidst life’s most chaotic moments. The Connection Code rewrites the rules of self-care, with a focus on alignment in daily life without adding more to your plate. Through personal stories, easy-to-implement tools, and eye-opening insights, its teachings also help you:· Shift from “blending in” to standing in your truth, making it easier to create and hold boundaries. · Learn how to walk away from circles that you have outgrown and allow your true community to find you. · Embrace your ego and true self to create a life of ease, confidence, and joy! The Connection Code is your permission slip to reclaim you. And when you do, you’re not just helping yourself—you empower other women to do the same. This is more than just a book—it's your homecoming.
Malevolent Spirits: Mononogatari Vol. 14
The fierce battle between the Saenome and the paper umbrellas continues! While Hyoma charges ahead in search of Botan, his allies are split into their own skirmishes against the umbrellas. Everything changes when one of the Saenome thought devoured by the umbrellas suddenly appears, leading to the appearance of more formerly departed allies—and enemies—who join the fray on both sides of the battle. But the longer the two sides clash, the more Botan’s fate hangs in the balance, as the living god within her comes closer to emerging…
The Little Book of Unicorns
This elusive creature was originally thought to inhabit the edge of the known world. Biblical and classical material, travellers' tales, clerical writings and theological speculation influenced the perceived appearance of this noble beast, but the graceful white horse with a single long horn remains is most recognizable embodiment. The medieval unicorn became a potent symbol of religious and secular love which has continued to inspire poets, writers and artists. As belief in the unicorn's reality waned, a renewed interest in the medieval past provided a context for it to flourish once again as a subject for art, literature and mystical meditation. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century medievalism infused pictorial and poetic unicorn imagery with an aura of romantic nostalgia that paved the way for its dramatic revival: it gained wings and took flight within the genre of fantasy literature. More recently unicorns have inspired a variety of contemporary trends, from merchandising to financial rhetoric, and the 'animal that never was' shows no sign of disappearing.
Disrupting White Noise
A bold and timely reexamination of how white students understand and engage with race on college campuses In Disrupting White Noise, Zak Foste and Lauren N. Irwin challenge the prevailing belief that white students come to college as "empty vessels," revealing how these students are already deeply shaped by their pre-college environments—bringing powerful attitudes and beliefs about race that can impede efforts toward inclusion. Drawing from years of interviews and research at a variety of institutions, Foste and Irwin demonstrate how campus environments often reinforce white racial comfort, reproduce segregation, and limit effective cross-racial engagement. Vivid narratives highlight how institutional policies, leadership programs, and daily campus life can inadvertently maintain barriers for students of color—while failing to address the real foundations of white students' understanding of race. The book goes beyond critique, offering actionable recommendations and concrete strategies that campus leaders can implement to disrupt harmful patterns and foster authentic learning. With clarity, urgency, and insight, this work equips higher education professionals to critically examine their own practices and to intentionally create more just, equitable environments. Essential reading for anyone who works with college students, this book provides the knowledge and tools to move beyond surface-level solutions towards genuine, lasting change.

Determined toprotect Van’s land and family from another scandal, Mayhill ignores the sherriff who replaced him and investigates the death of the unidentified man. His quest crosses with two others: Birdie, Van’s surly, mourning daughter, who has no intention of sitting idly by and leaving her father’s legacy in Mayhill’s hands; and Bradley, Birdie’sslow, malnourished but loyal friend, whose desperation to escape a life of poverty has him working with local criminals, and possibly a murderer. A riveting debut novel about family and loyalty, old grudges and new lives, Ain't Nobody Nobody is a cross between Faulkner and Breaking Bad, from a talented new writer with anauthentic Texas voice.
Selling Pharmaka, Buying Health in Ancient Greece and Rome
In antiquity, selling pharmacological preparations and recipes could mean very big business indeed. The import and trade of exotic pharmacological ingredients, in particular those coming from India, has received some scholarly attention but the process whereby these ingredients were combined into desirable concoctions, advertised and sold has been more neglected. This monograph attempts to bridge the gap between ancient medical and socio-economic history, addressing an academic audience of both social and economic historians as well as historians of medicine and technology. It examines material from the fifth century BCE (the date of the first medical treatises included in the Hippocratic Corpus) to the seventh century (the century in which Paul of Aegina, the last of the early Byzantine medical authors, composed his work) with a particular focus on the period from the first century BCE to the third century CE.
