- Every little piece of me / by Jones, Amy,author.;
Ava Hart is the most reluctant cast member of a reality TV show based on her big-city family's (mostly staged) efforts to run a B&B in small-town Nova Scotia. All families have their problems, but Ava has seen her family's every up and down broadcast on national television. Mags Kovach is the charismatic lead singer of a Halifax rock band on brink of becoming the Next Big Thing. For years, she's managed to contain her demons and navigate her way through the uglier aspects of being a woman in the music world. But after a devastating loss, she turns her anger on the only person she can: herself. As their public missteps and private tragedies set social media and tabloid headlines on fire, it will be the unexpected friendship between Ava and Mags that will change their lives. They will push back against the roles they've been forced to play, and take back control of something they thought they'd lost forever--the right to their own stories.- Subjects: Bildungsromans.; Television personalities; Reality television programs; Singers; Rock groups; Families; Celebrities; Fame; Friendship;

- Pebble & Dove / by Jones, Amy,1976-author.;
"In the tradition of Karen Russell's Swamplandia!, a once-famous but now-abandoned aquarium-in-a-ship in Florida is the captivating backdrop for a novel of family secrets and dysfunction, and the ways in which it can sometimes take an animal to remind us how to be human. This is the story of a family falling apart, only to be brought back together again by an unlikely champion--a 1,000-pound aquatic mammal named Pebble. Lauren's life is a mess. She has a storage unit full of candles she can't sell, a growing mountain of debt, and a teenage daughter, Dove, who barely speaks to her. Then her husband sends her a text that changes everything. Eager to escape her problems, she drives herself and Dove south to her late mother's rundown trailer in Florida. While keeping her eccentric new neighbours at Swaying Palms at bay, Lauren begins to untangle the truth about her estranged mother. How did world-famous portrait photographer Imogen Starr end up at Swaying Palms?And what happened to her fortune and her photographs? Meanwhile, Dove has secrets of her own. A mysterious photograph leads her to discover the abandoned Flamingo Key Aquarium and Tackle, where she meets Pebble, the world's oldest manatee in captivity. It is Pebble, a former star attraction, and her devoted caretaker, Ray, who will hold the key to helping Lauren and Dove come to terms with Imogen's unexpected legacy. Darkly funny and sharply observed, Pebble & Dove is a moving novel about the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, and learning how to choose between what's worth saving and what needs to be let go."--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; Novels.; Aquariums; Captive wild animals; Dysfunctional families; Family secrets; Manatees; Mothers and daughters;

And with their new all-female pop rock band gaining traction, soon everyone would hear their songs… Except, on the way to an event, the Bittersweet’s van careened off an icy mountain road during a blizzard—leaving one member dead and another severely injured. In order to survive the frigid night, the rest took shelter in a nearby abandoned cabin. But Vienna’s dreams devolved into a terrifying nightmare as, one by one, her fellow band members met a gruesome end…and Madison simply vanished in the night. What really happened to the Bittersweet? Did Vienna’s closest friend finally decide to take center stage on her own terms? She doesn’t want to believe it. But guilty people run.- Subjects: Audiobooks.; Psychological; Suspense;
