The Tatami Galaxy (Nomad Edition)
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN TRANSLATION PRIZE*An unfulfilled college student hurtles through four parallel realities to explore the what-might''ve-been and the what-should-never-be in this Groundhog Day meets The Midnight Library–esque novel from one of Japan’s most popular authors.Our protagonist, an unnamed junior at a prestigious university in Kyoto, is on the verge of dropping out. After rebelling against the dictatorial jock president of the film club, he and his worst and only friend, the diabolical creep Ozu, are personas non grata on campus. For two years, our protagonist has made all the wrong decisions, and now he''s about to make another mistake. He and Ozu are preparing for revenge—a fireworks attack at the film club''s welcoming party for new members. Then, a chance encounter with a self-proclaimed god sets the confused and distraught young man on a new course. Destiny will bring him together with Akashi, the blunt but charming sophomore he has a crush on—if he’s brave enough to make a move. Yet our protagonist cannot get beyond his profound disillusionment and the moment is lost. But what if there''s a universe where he did join the club of his dreams, ditched Ozu for good, and was confident enough to get the girl? A realm of possibility opens up for our protagonist as time rewinds, and from the four-and-a-half-mat tatami floor of his dorm room, he is plunged into a series of adventures that will take him to four parallel universes. In each universe, he is given the opportunity to start over as a freshman, in search of a rose-colored campus life.The inspiration behind the much-loved anime series, Tomihiko Morimi''s contemporary classic is a fantastic journey through time and space, where a half-eaten castella cake, a photograph from Rome, and a giant cavity in a wisdom tooth hold the keys to self-discovery. A time-traveling romp that speaks to everyone who has wondered what if, The Tatami Galaxy will win readers’ hearts over . . . and over . . . and over again.

“Amid magical shenanigans...this book might just have you laughing out loud.” Hazel Beck for Witches Get Stuff Done
Welcome to Starfall Point, where haunted hotels and heartfelt magic collide.

But when charming, buttoned-up Collin Bancroft asks Alice to bring his family’s haunted hotel back to life, her carefully ordered world is thrown into delightful (and ghostly) chaos.
Collin may be polished, practical, and utterly skeptical about magic, but the more time he spends with Alice and the Duchess Hotel’s mischievous spirits, the harder it becomes to deny that something enchanting is happening-both in the hotel and in his own guarded heart. As Alice finds herself drawn to Collin’s kindness and humor, she must also confront the shadows of her past, the secrets that keep her from her coven sisters, and a growing threat that could destroy the fragile happiness she’s finally found.
Never Been Witched is loved for its laugh-out-loud humor, gentle romance, and unforgettable blend of paranormal mischief and emotional depth. With a heroine discovering her strength, a romance that grows with every page, and a cast of witches, ghosts, and small-town eccentrics, this book delivers the heart and healing fans of witchy romance crave.
As comforting as it is magical, Never Been Witched will sweep you away to a world where even the most broken hearts can find a little magic-and maybe, just maybe, their own happily ever after.
