  • Feels Like Home

    By Melanie Harlow

    Paperback: pr9064271

    Pub Date: Jan 2027

    Firefighter and single-dad Nash Calloway minds his own business. Between twenty-four hour shifts, raising his five-year-old son, and racking up strikeouts for his station’s baseball team, he’s got no room for drama. Until a beautiful, reclusive single mom moves in next door.

    Sam Johnson has one goal: keep her daughter safe. That means being ready to run at a moment’s notice and trusting no one. Not even a sexy single dad with kind eyes, capable hands, and strong arms. Then her four-year-old daughter ends up in Nash’s care with a skinned knee and a tearful secret…Sam isn’t her mom’s real name.

    The moment of truth leads to an impulsive kiss, which explodes into a summer of stolen moments together. Nash is as patient as he is passionate. He surrounds her with friends that turn into family. And for the first time, Sam feels safe enough to imagine a life without fear.

    But when the past catches up to her, she’ll have to decide whether to run once more or risk everything to stay in the one place–with the one man–that’s ever felt like home.

  • The Nudge

    The Nudge by Joseph Fink

    Short and not-so-sweet, this unsettling illustrated novella told exclusively through dialogue follows a man confessing his life’s story to a hotel employee – and how a malevolent force has plagued him, gently pushing his life towards ruin.

    ‘Welcome to Night Vale’s Joseph Fink is a writer I love, with a mind brimming with weirdness and strange horrors. It’s no wonder that when I picked up his latest work for myself that I loved it. ‘The Nudge’ is a would-be love story warped into a strange new terror – where knowing someone so intimately can show you exactly when they are no longer themselves, even if only for a moment. When a husband must run away from his beloved wife of 20 years, only to find himself no safer in the company of strangers, unable to discern the true intent of an invisible force he cannot understand – it makes for a delightful read.

  • The Dog Heist / Banned Together

    The Dog Heist by Dani Jansen

    Dani Jansen’s first book – The Year Shakespeare Ruined My Life – made me laugh out loud. I promised myself to read her next book, which is The Dog Heist.

    The Dog Heist is about more than stealing Lyra the dog: it is the intricate story of two tweens, Valery and Caleb, who navigate the complexities of life, friendship, social responsibility, and learn independence. It is also about realizing that sometimes the person you least expect to understand you become exactly the friend you need.

    The strength of this book is that it captures the experience of Valery and Caleb who learn the skills necessary to communicate. It’s not easy to get across what you are thinking. We aren’t born brilliant communicators. Learning to communicate is sometimes an awkward process. In The Dog Heist, the parents and teachers in this story, are supportive and helpful mentors, without being didactic. And, oh. The whole, “going-outside-in-a-hurricane-and-finding-your-furious-frightened-parents-waiting-when-you-get-back” scene? Perfect.

    Banned Together: Our Fight for Readers’ Rights by Debbie Fong

    Banned Together is a collection of personal essays, short stories, comics, poetry and interviews from 15 diverse authors exploring book bans through multiple perspectives.

    Among the collected works is Robin Stevenson’s essay that unpacks her misrepresented book and the ensuing American Supreme Court case about access to 2SLGBTQ books – or the choice to opt out of occasions where 2SLGBTQ materials would be presented.

    In another chapter, an author writes about her relationships with two male friends, who felt she overreacted, when she reported a misogynist “joke” that was serious enough to have the perpetrator expelled from university. It’s interesting to see how she associates that experience with the theme. There is a piece by Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir. One of the best aspects of this book is that it offers a list of banned authors and books to support, and other ways youth can protect their right to read. I wonder about using a book like this as the backbone of a book club. It’s humbling and inspiring to read about courage. Authors are amazing.
