Book Description
The Day of the Dead is a sweet celebration…until a real ghost starts getting salty. As the town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, prepares to jump on the Day of the Dead bandwagon, Skye O’Malley reluctantly agrees to use her coffee shop kitchen to make several batches of sugar skulls for the celebration…all the while wondering if it’s such a great idea to stir up the local ghosts for fun and profit. When a large mural at the downtown park where the festival is to take place is defaced, Skye is asked to use her psychic abilities to divine who — or what — is the culprit. She encounters the restless, angry ghost of a young woman whose murderer was never caught. Investigating this cold case is tougher than usual, because Skye now wears her superstar boyfriend Max Sullivan’s engagement ring — and the paparazzi are underfoot at every turn. Overwhelmed but determined, Skye calls on all her resources, psychic and otherwise, to find the key to solving this decades-old mystery. Before an angry ghost wreaks havoc — and a killer escapes justice.

Book Description
"Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn how to construct a personal Book of Shadows filled with ancestral wisdom." --Theresa Reed, author of Twist Your Fate Most of us know our immediate family and maybe even a generation or two beyond, but few of us are attuned to those who lived earlier. Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive. This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins. Ancestral Grimoire is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It will show you how to access their unique wisdom--their magic!--and create your own personal ancestral grimoire, a spell book or Book of Shadows, unique to you and your heritage. Through divination, intuition, and sometimes a little luck, you will learn the magic of each ancestor and how you can use their gifts to make your life richer and more fulfilling. As you go through this book, you'll save your ancestral work in a journal or loose-leaf binder that will become the place to store the stories, spells, rituals, and everyday life, lore, and legend of twelve of your ancestors. At the end of a year, you will hold a personal Book of Shadows with every bit of ancestral knowledge within its pages unique to you. No two will ever be alike. In an age when family storytelling has been lost, you will have created a legacy--and a life--that the ancestors could only dream of.

Book Description
Halloween on the starbase Eltanin isn’t so different from Earth. There’s still costumes, parties, and tons of sweets. The view out the windows is a bit different, with the swirling clouds of the Helix Nebula watching over the festivities, but it’s a time to have fun, stifle inhibition, and forget about the troubles of the universe. It’s a time for far-flung friends to get together and let loose. Liam isn’t sure what to expect from his first Halloween, but getting to dress up in a costume he’s only seen in historical accounts is certainly a highlight. When he gets roped into helping with the kids’ party, he gets to experience the holiday in ways he never expected. Everything looks different from a child’s perspective, and that’s a view he’ll never see with his own eyes. Being a part of that childlike wonder opens his heart to possibilities he hasn’t allowed himself to want. And not even the limitations of his place in human society can stifle his hope for the future. This is the first time Skylar has almost all of his friends in one place for Halloween and the excitement is overwhelming. Unfortunately, so is the noise, the crowded deck, and the discomfort of being stared at in his costume. As much as he wants to have fun with his friends, he also wants to escape from everything, and even his partner has a difficult time comforting him. It’s the ones who love him, though, who won’t give up on his happiness and help him get past his mental barriers. And it’s that love which ignites his soul and lets him shine as bright as the cosmos. For Aitana, this Halloween is especially important because she gets to spend it with her friends on one of the nicest starbases she’s ever seen. As a pilot who’s not often stationary long enough to remember the name of where she is, she knows this is a rare luxury and she’s not about to waste a second of the time she’s been given. When her expectations are suddenly shattered by her own best friend, their conflicting priorities lead to an argument which could derail their plans. But their friends are always ready to help, and it’s their acceptance which will guide them to understanding. It’s one night with different meanings for them all. Whether it’s looking to the future, overcoming the past, or navigating a labyrinthine present, each of them is searching for truth among the stars. Only by trusting each other and the ones who care for them will they find what their hearts are seeking and discover their place in the universe.

A Best Book of the Year: The Washington Post • Chicago Tribune • NPR • Vogue • Elle • Real Simple • InStyle • Good Housekeeping • Parade • Slate • Vox • Kirkus Reviews • Library Journal • BookPage Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize An Instant New York Times Bestseller A Reese's Book Club Pick "The most provocative page-turner of the year." --Entertainment Weekly "I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." --NPR A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both. Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other. With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.

Book Description
Everything changed when scientists discovered the drug. It looked like the cure for aging, but all progress comes with a price tag. Now, eternal youthfulness will be paid for by the blood of the innocent. The blood of “carriers” is the most valuable commodity on earth. When treated with a new wonder drug, it cures disease, increases power, and makes the recipient a virtual superman. It also makes the carriers targets. Young people with the right genes are ripped from their families and stashed in “blood farms.” Ellie Batista became an LAPD officer specifically to fight this evil as a member of the Blood Squad, but her ambitions are thwarted—until the day she and her partner are ambushed during a routine stop. The resulting events plunge her into an undercover world more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. Because a madman has found a way to increase the potency of the blood to levels previously unimagined. As he cuts a bloody swath through the already deadly world of blood cartels, Ellie is the only hope to stop him before the body count explodes.

Book Description
What you don't know about goths could fill a book! An artistic culture that revels in the Victorian romantic movement, The goth Bible brings to light the traditions and history of all that is goth. The goth culture has been one of the most controversial and maligned in media history. Presented as homicidal, suicidal and socio-pathic, in the national consciousness goths are coupled with everyone from Marilyn Mason to the murderers of Columbine. But this is not who the goths are. The goth Bible will help bridge the understanding between goths and non-goths. From their historical origins as a Germanic tribe in the sixth century who fought along side the Romans against the Huns to their current incarnation as creatures of the night, The goth Bible presents the most complete and broad perspective of this society, culled from hundreds of interviews with bands, artist, designers, and goths from all walks of life.
