Two truths and a lie / by O'Brien, Cory,author.;
"In a mostly underwater near-future Los Angeles, aging combat-drone veteran Orr Vue now lives a simple and small life, trading snippets of what's become the most valuable currency: information. So when the cops show up at his door looking for data on a murder he's not even aware has happened, things get interesting for the first time in 25 years. At first, Orr is happy to exchange whatever he knows about the demise of InfoDrip's top exec to buy booze and pay rent on his memory storage, but that plan goes to hell when Orr's old boyfriend, Auggie Wolf, shows up as the number one suspect. Forced to stretch his atrophied spy skills and take his illegal horde of drones out of retirement alongside his busted knees, Orr finds himself in the crosshairs of the militarized police, a family of megarich corporate heirs, a clan of emancipated AIs, and a cult. Barely avoiding getting killed with every clue he collects, Orr realizes he's uncovered not just a murder, but a conspiracy that threatens Auggie's very existence. Ahh, the things we do for love ... But in a world where memories can be bought and sold, how can you truly know who anyone is-or what you yourself are capable of? Fast paced, funny, and shockingly romantic, Two Truths and a Lie is Raymond Chandler reinvented for the 22nd century"--

In the Truth about luck, Iain Reid, author of the highly popular coming-of-age memoir One bird's choice, accompanies his grandmother on a five-day vacation--which turns out to be a "staycation" at his basement apartment in Kingston.

Between escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two exchange memories and she begins to reveal details of her inspiring life story. Told with subtlety, humour, and heart, this delightful comic memoir reflects on family connections; how we experience adversity, the passage of time, and aging; and most importantly what it truly means to feel lucky.

Two truths and a lie : a novel / by Moore, Meg Mitchell,author.;
Truth: Sherri Griffin and her daughter, Katie, have recently moved to the idyllic beach town of Newburyport, Massachusetts. Rebecca Coleman, widely acknowledged former leader of the Newburyport Mom Squad (having taken a step back since her husband's shocking and tragic death eighteen months ago), has made a surprising effort to include these newcomers in typically closed-group activities. Rebecca's teenage daughter Alexa has even been spotted babysitting Katie. Truth: Alexa has time on her hands because of a recent falling-out with her longtime best friends for reasons no one knows-- but everyone suspects have to do with Alexa's highly popular and increasingly successful YouTube channel. Katie Griffin, who at age 11 probably doesn't need a babysitter anymore, can't be left alone because she has terrifying nightmares that don't seem to jibe with the vague story Sherri has floated about the "bad divorce" she left behind in Ohio. Rebecca Coleman has been spending a lot of time with Sherri, it's true, but she's also been spending time with someone else she doesn't want the Mom Squad to know about just yet. Lie: Rebecca Coleman doesn't have a new man in her life, and definitely not someone connected to the Mom Squad. Alexa is not seeing anyone new herself and is planning on shutting down her YouTube channel in advance of attending college in the fall. Sherri Griffin's real name is Sherri Griffin, and a bad divorce is all she's running from.
