"Bells are ringing and alarms are sounding in Donna Andrews' latest cheery addition in the New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow series. Meg's sister-in-law, Delaney is pregnant. Since her due date is on or around Christmas Day, this is putting a bit of a damper on the usual holiday festivities. Meg and Michael are not hosting the usual house full of relatives and parties.

Can Meg still keep Delaney calm in the middle of a murder investigation, all while trying to catch the killer?

An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them--plants and animals--has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace.

But in the face of German attacks, she's determined to make it a place where all of their neighbors feel safe and welcome.

Accidentally Amy / by Painter, Lynn,author.;

"A stolen latte results in a meet-cute for the ages in this originally self-published, brand-new edition of New York Times bestselling author Lynn Painter's rom-com Accidentally Amy, with bonus content. Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she's running late for her first day at her dream job and the barista yells for "Amy" three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable. Izzy takes that PSL. It's the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only way further ahead in the queue-and she'll take whatever bad karma is coming for her; she's desperate and very late. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she's ever seen, spilling the drink all over his made-for-GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Karma who? Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising, until he says to her: "See you tomorrow, Amy." Izzy reasons she can just straighten things out the next day, no biggie. Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips-the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might've been charming to "Amy," but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who does not find her explanation funny at all. But day by day, an attraction simmers between them and they'll have to find a way to work together without ripping each other's heads-or clothes-off"--

We have never lived on Earth : stories / by Van Schaik, Kasia,author.;

Includes bibliographical references."'Love in the age of microplastics.' Kasia Van Schaik's debut story collection follows the journey of Charlotte Ferrier, a child of divorce raised by a single mother in a small town in British Columbia after moving from South Africa. The stories traverse the most intimate, violent, and transforming moments of female experience in a world threatened by ecological crisis. Charlotte navigates relationships-- with lovers, parents, friends, and environments-- as they form and fray. Mother and daughter wait out the end of a bad year in a Mexican hotel; a friendship is tested as forest fires demolish Charlotte's town; a childhood friend disappears while travelling through Europe; and a girl on the beach examines the memories of dying jellyfish. Each story asks: how do we find connection in a world shaped by isolation? How do we accept the new? Written in startling, poetic prose, We Have Never Lived On Earth captures the feelings and experiences of being a woman: physical and psychological threat, creativity, disappointment, objectification, and desire. Calling to mind Alice Munro's precocious Del Jordan and Rachel Cusk's Faye, these powerful portraits of female interiority balance nostalgia, fear, and hope for the future as they tell of the struggle to understand what it means to live on earth."--Provided by publisher.
