So Over Sharing
Quiet, introverted Hadley and rough-around-the-edges Willow have one big main thing in common: both their mums have gained a huge online following sharing every detail of their lives. Hadley’s mum - Phoebe of @PhoebeAndJay fame - loves to share all the terrible, down and dirty bits about raising kids while Willow’s mum Rosalind at the up-and-coming @MoonbeamsAndMarigold basks in the glow of motherhood. If getting all her life's moments (including an almost decade old viral potty training video) shared online isn't enough, Hadley’s starting a new school in a new neighbourhood and desperately trying to keep her mum’s identity a secret while Willow is struggling with a recent life-changing announcement from her mum who, it turns out, is not getting out of the influencer world anytime soon. As the two girls build a friendship and share the pains of having mumfluencers, they come up against the same question - how long will they have to share their lives with everyone?
The River of Caregiving
Caregiving flows through a little girl’s family in so many ways, like a river connecting them all. Her grandfather cares for her by picking her up from school with a snack and a smile, and she cares for him by keeping him company at his doctors’ appointments with a snack and a smile. Her mother helps her grandmother get ready for the day, just as her grandmother once helped her mother. And when the relatives send packages to each other, their caring makes them feel closer. Through occasions big and small, it’s a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present, and her family will always be there for each other. Jocelyn Chung’s evocative text and Sarah Gonzales’ gorgeous pictures remind us that our family’s love is a gift to be treasured.
Seal of Rome
Every subject serves Rome. Only a few can save it. An aristocrat. A slave. A pair of disgraced soldiers. And a legendary general. Five strangers. One secret war. When an elite gladiator defies death in the arena, his shocking victory earns him more than glory—it draws him into the heart of a secret mission that could change the fate of the Empire. Hardened by brutality and betrayal, Jason is recruited into a covert task force to stop an insidious coup from toppling Rome from within. Joining him are Mallia, a senator’s daughter suffocating in privilege; Argus and Tacitus, ex-legionnaires cast out by the very army they swore to serve; and Severus, a retired general and the Emperor’s most trusted ally. Together, they are reborn as the Septem Fideles—seven loyal ones—and sworn to protect Rome from the shadows. As rebellion stirs and enemies close in, loyalties are tested, forbidden love ignites, and ancient powers threaten to awaken. The Empire's fate rests on the shoulders of five outcasts who must fight as one… or fall divided. Seal of Rome is a sweeping tale of heroes and villains, betrayal and sacrifice, forbidden love and unrelenting suspense—set against the brutal beauty of an imagined Ancient Rome at the height of its glory… and on the brink of ruin.
Nebulas
Poems that look at our little world from space In Nebulas, Meghan Kemp-Gee positions these giant clouds of glowing space dust, often the ‘nursery’ where new stars and planets are born, in an interconnected web of lyric form. As dazzling masses of matter and energy, fleeting, exploding and collapsing, creating connection across incomprehensible distances, these poems use constellations and light-years to reconfigure how art, mortality, loss, death, and afterlives are miraculous echoes and patterns in a gorgeous, chaotic universe. Included in this dazzling collection are an extraterrestrial fox who works at a gas station, meditations about living across from a hospital during the Omicron surge, weathering climate disasters in North Vancouver, strange deep-sea ecosystems, conversations with a space-god who may be Walt Whitman, and multiple retellings of a Zen koan about tigers and strawberries. Here, respiration and repetition – literally, verse – acts as an outstanding formal feature, a way of creating connections and shared breath across spacetime.
Before Disability
A literary, legal, and cultural history of disability, race, and citizenship between the Revolution and the Civil WarThe history of disability rights is often told as a recent one, but it is not. In the wake of the American Revolution, many of the differences we now call disabilities could be accommodated into citizenship—and for some even exemplified its promises. By the antebellum period, however, disability was becoming a powerful, racialized tool of civic exclusion and, by the century's end, a target for eugenic elimination. In Before Disability, Sari Altschuler tells the story of how this dramatic transformation occurred. Before Disability is a literary, legal, and cultural history of the relationship between disability, race, and citizenship. It shows how disability helped to shape US citizenship and, in turn, how the formation of US citizenship shaped disability. There were two key drivers of the transformation from accommodation to exclusion and eugenics: the difficulty aligning the reality with the rhetoric of civic inclusion and the co-opting of mental and physical difference as evidence in debates about Black citizenship. The stigmatizing ways race came together with mental and physical difference to deny Americans rights were, however, not inevitable. Before citizenship was federally defined in the late 1860s, Americans were still working out what it meant. They used the narrative forms available to them—from melodrama and the gothic to the slave narrative and the criminal confession—to do this work. While possibilities narrowed by the antebellum era, Americans continued to imagine, articulate, and enact broader definitions. As we seek to imagine the relationship between disability and citizenship more equitably and expansively for ourselves, we should begin by remembering that many disabled and nondisabled Americans before us did, too.

Svádění panny
Narodil se, aby se stal rytířem. Já jsem urozená dáma. Jsme dokonalý pár – jenže osud má jiné plány…
MARIANA
Nejkrásnější panna v zemi? Raději bych byla známá jako nejlepší šermířka nebo jezdkyně. Na druhou stranu má nesporné výhody udržet své schopnosti v tajnosti – stejně jako vzácné dědictví měňavky. Obzvlášť teď, když musím přelstít nejkrutějšího a nejnemilosrdnějšího muže na světě. Kvůli tomu se vydávám do nejbezprávnějšího kouta země s nadějí, že najdu Robina Hooda. Ale když se z útočiště, na které jsem spoléhala, vyklube zrada, nacházím nepravděpodobného spojence v nejpřitažlivějším mnichovi široko daleko…
TUCK
Jako třetí syn venkovského šlechtice jsem neměl na výběr a musel jsem vstoupit do kláštera. Jíst, modlit se, a znova to opakovat – taková byla má budoucnost, a upřímně, nebyla nic moc. Za pár dní mám složit sliby a učinit to oficiálním. Já, lví měňavec, mám žít v chudobě, poslušnosti a cudnosti? Život se stane zajímavějším, když začnu pomáhat Robynne Hoodové… a pořádně nabere obrátky, když do našeho kláštera přijde krásná a tajemná šlechtična hledající útočiště. Jsem její jedinou nadějí, ale získat šťastný konec by chtělo zázrak. Budu se muset spokojit s tím, že ji ochráním před chamtivými a bezohlednými měňavci, kteří plánují svrhnout monarchii – pokud mi to vůbec dovolí. Přesto jsem byl vždycky snílek a nejsem připraven vzdát se naděje, lásky ani šance naplnit svůj pravý osud.
Zkrocení psance
Na psance se dneska prostě nedá spolehnout...
Jsem Willa Scarletová a máma mě učila, abych se nikdy nespoléhala na muže. Příkladem budiž moje tajná mise, jejímž cílem bylo ochránit truhlu plnou drahocenného pokladu před princem Janem. Když mi psanci ze Sherwoodského lesa nepomůžou, jsou všechny mé pečlivě připravené plány v troskách. A za všechno může jeden urostlý, nesnesitelný zbojník, který má na mě spadeno. Muži!
Jsem Malý John, medvědí měňavec, a mohu vás ujistit, že na mně není nic malého. Navíc mám pořádnou dávku tvrdohlavosti a problém s lidmi. Se svým samotářským životem v lese jsem byl navýsost spokojen, dokud se neobjevila Willa Scarletová. Teď chci být od té jízlivé zrzky s přehnaným sebevědomím co nejdál. Čím víc, tím líp.
Společnou máme s Wilou jen jiskřivou chemii, nelítostné nepřátele a odpovědnost za poklad, který je cennější, než kdokoli z nás tuší. Než se nadějeme, jsme na útěku, uprostřed problémů a zamilovaní, i když si to ani jeden z nás nechce přiznat. Nemůžeme se však skrývat věčně a brzo musím učinit těžká rozhodnutí. Mám se řídit srdcem, nebo hlavou? A kde leží má věrnost? U Willy, nebo u měňavců ze Sherwoodského lesa?
