Whistler
When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she doesn't expect it to be Eddie - her former stepfather.
Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasn't seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.
Meeting again now, Daphne and Eddie feel that time has fallen away. Their earlier relationship was brief but had a profound impact on both of them. Together, they consider not only their past, but the joys of the present and their commitment to face the future together.
A moving, luminous story about how family, memory and love endures, Whistler paints an intimate portrait of how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.
Land
Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, Land, the new novel from the author of Hamnet, is at once intimate and epic: a portrait of a family navigating a legacy of upheaval and loss with love and hope.
On a windswept peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic, Tomás and his reluctant son, Liam, are working for the great Ordnance Survey project to map the whole of Ireland. The year is 1865, and in a country not long since ravaged and emptied by the Great Hunger, the task is not an easy one. Tomás, however, is determined that his maps will be a record of the disaster.
The British soldiers in charge are due to arrive any day, expecting the work to be completed, but Tomás is unexpectedly sent off course by an unsettling encounter in a copse. His life, and those of his family, will never be the same again. Liam is terrified by the sudden change in his taciturn father. What was it that caused such cracks to open in Tomás and how is Liam, aged only ten, going to finish the mapping, and get them both home?
Land is a novel about separation and reunion, tragedy and recovery, colonisation and rebellion. It is a story of buried treasure, overlapping lives, ancient woodland, persistent ghosts, a particularly loyal dog, and how, when it comes to both land and history, nothing ever goes away. As spellbinding and various as the landscape that inspired it, Land is, above all, a story of survival, for our times, and for all time.

Good-Bye
Here to slake the unquenchable thirst of Dazai's legions of loyal fans are eleven works of short fiction and vignettes, most of which have never before appeared in English.
Beginning with "Memories" (which tells a tale of teenage love, based on the autobiographical events that inspired Dazai's famed No Longer Human), and ending with "Good-Bye" (the chapters of a comic romance that the author left unfinished when he took his own life), the short works here show the range and breadth of an author best known for his meditations on squalor and despair. But there is laughter here too, as in "Tengu," a tongue-in-cheek critique of august hucksters of haiku. And there is also suspense on display: "A Bluff Illusion" presents a literary murder story in which a harmless prank escalates into a deadly pose. "A Warning on Worldly Pleasures" retells Saikaku's famous story about the temptation of a holy ascetic, and "A: Autumn" unfolds a quiver of epigrams (seemingly) drawn at random from the author's notes. All are masterfully translated by Ralph McCarthy.
Spanning the breadth of Dazai's delightfully multifaceted, if tragically foreshortened, career, Good-Bye is a must-have for any Dazai fan.

There's only one course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make one of his board members happy-you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my hidden bad girl with nought but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.
Afterwards, he went back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters, Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.
You see where I'm going with this: the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local builder to help her…and he's the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who's not so nice behind closed doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I'm in town, until the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from getting broken.
The second book in the Wilder Family series features an opposites attract romance with rugged small-town charm and heartwarming family shenanigans. Welcome to the Wilder family!

The Scourge of War
A definitive biography that sheds light on the life and times of one of the Civil War's most important generals. William Tecumseh Sherman, a West Point graduate and veteran of the Seminole War, became one of the best-known generals in the Civil War. His March to the Sea, which resulted in a devastated swath of the South from Atlanta to Savannah, cemented his place in history as the pioneer of total war. In The Scourge of War, preeminent military historian Brian Holden Reid offers a deeply researched life and times account of Sherman. By examining his childhood and education, his business ventures in California, his antebellum leadership of a military college in Louisiana, and numerous career false starts, Holden Reid shows how unlikely his exceptional Civil War career would seem. He also demonstrates how crucial his family was to his professional path, particularly his wife's intervention during the war. He analyzes Sherman's development as a battlefield commander and especially his crucial friendships with Henry W. Halleck and Ulysses S. Grant. In doing so, he details how Sherman overcame both his weaknesses as a leader and severe depression to mature as a military strategist. Central chapters narrate closely Sherman's battlefield career and the gradual lifting of his pessimism that the Union would be defeated. After the war, Sherman became a popular figure in the North and the founder of the school for officers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, known as the "intellectual center of the army." Holden Reid argues that Sherman was not hostile to the South throughout his life and only in later years gained a reputation as a villain who practiced barbaric destruction, particularly as the neo-Confederate Lost Cause grew and he published one of the first personal accounts of the war.
Always Connected
A transformative guide that blends personal experience, spiritual wisdom, and channeled teachings to help readers connect directly with higher consciousness and navigate life with clarity, peace, and purpose. Always Connected is for open-hearted seekers, those grieving a loss, spiritual explorers, and anyone ready to move beyond old belief systems. Author Suzanne Giesemann—a former U.S. Navy commander turned spiritual teacher and evidential medium—bridges practical spirituality, heart-centered wisdom, and cutting-edge consciousness studies. She guides readers to a life of greater peace, connection, and meaning by learning to say, “Hey, Spirit!” and listen for divine insight. Combining memoir, evidence-based spirit communication, channeled guidance from higher consciousness, and engaging dialogue with Suzanne’s nonphysical teachers, the book is structured in two parts: Part I shares personal stories and foundational teachings to help readers trust and access inner guidance. Part II offers spiritual insights on universal challenges such as grief, anger, forgiveness, regret, and self-worth, paired with practical invitations for readers to connect directly with spirit themselves. Suzanne’s rare combination of military credibility, evidential mediumship, and ability to communicate deeply with source consciousness—makes mystical experiences both accessible and grounded. Always Connected provides a 21st-century approach to spirituality that integrates science and the sacred, offering an empowering alternative to shift from the external noise of everyday stress to the quiet wisdom within.

Father Material
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...what was that, exactly?
Luc and Oliver have been through it all: fake dating to save Luc's career, I-guess-this-is-actually-for-real dating when all of that blew up spectacularly, (briefly) breaking up over irreconcilable differences, (definitively) getting back together over perfectly reconcilable everything else, (almost) getting married, (finally) moving in together, and ultimately celebrating years of perfect domestic bliss.
But as all their very grown-up-now friends begin reaching new life milestones, advancing careers and having babies, Luc and Oliver decide it's time to open their hearts and lives to something new: a tiny, squirming, adorable bundle of furry joy named Spud.
And maybe now that hearts-and-lives are already open, there's room for someone else. Something more. Something that may require them to find in themselves a little father material.

Six influencers. One luxury yacht. Nowhere to hide.
Charlie Engels is broke and desperate when her bookstagram account lands her the offer of a lifetime: join Empress, a state-of-the-art yacht houseboat off the Florida Keys turned influencer paradise. Lucrative brand deals and a ready-made "sisterhood" of internet stars-it may not be Charlie's dream job, but she knows she'd be a fool to turn it down.
It's also the perfect distraction; Charlie's eager to outrun her past and a staggering betrayal by her former best friend. Now, aboard Empress, Charlie is surrounded by dazzling women with their own baggage: the magnetic but ruthless leader, the spiraling fashion queen, the inseparable twins, the peacemaker with cracks in her confidence, and the memory of the influencer who Charlie is replacing. The same influencer who Charlie keeps seeing on board, even though the others insist she quit.
But when a hurricane traps the group at sea with their billionaire boss, the dream turns claustrophobic. Communications cut. Supplies dwindling. Old betrayals bubbling to the surface. Then the first body drops.
As paranoia mounts and alliances splinter, Charlie realizes the real danger isn't the storm outside-it's the deadly games being played below deck. And if she can't outwit a killer, her past won't be the only ghost that comes back to drown her.
From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes THE LAST TIME WE DROWNED, a razor-sharp, atmospheric, and impossible to put down locked-room psychological thriller where luxury curdles into terror and survival comes at the highest price.
Túrapara
Are Kalvo képeslapra illő hegyek között nőtt fel Nyugat-Norvégiában, mégsem lett a természet szerelmese. Beköltözött a fővárosba, és vissza se nézett. Nem is volt ezzel semmi probléma egészen addig, amíg a barátai el nem kezdtek felszívódni… Ugyanis elragadta őket a természet! Jó embereket. Okos embereket. Vicces embereket, akik korábban bármikor szívesen mentek Aréval kocsmázni. Erre most minden hétvégén túrázni meg síelni járnak. Korán kelnek, lefotózzák magukat, amint egy hegy tetején állva az ég felé nyújtják a karjukat, a képet kiteszik a Facebookra vagy az Instára, és ilyeneket írnak mellé (egy csöppnyi irónia nélkül): „A hegyen a csend semmi másra nem hasonlít.”
Kalvo – mivel mindig számol azzal, hogy esetleg ő tévedhet – elhatározza, hogy megfejti, mi olyan nagy pláne a túrázásban. Tényleg érdemes minden más szórakozást feladni és a város meghitt fényeit egy világvégi, nyirkos hüttére cserélni, aminek Szúnyogszállás a neve? Fogja hát magát, vásárol egy rakás nevetségesen drága túracuccot, és elindul a vadonba.
Vajon megadja magát a természet vonzerejének? Vagy inkább megkeresi odakint a régi barátait, hazarángatja őket, aztán együtt elmennek valahová, ahol meleg van, és sört is csapolnak?
