- In Gad we trust : a tell-some / by Gad, Josh,1981-author.;
- Josh Gad is an award-winning actor, singer, and comedian. He is known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen franchise, playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon , and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. For the first and possibly last time, Josh Gad dives into a wide array of personal topics: the lasting impact of his parents divorce; how he struggled with weight and self-image; his first big break; how everyone was sure his most successful ventures (both on the big screen and the stage) would fail; his take on fatherhood, and so much more. This trip down the rabbit hole of overly personal stories will distract readers from climate change, the downward descent of democracy in Western civilization, and the existential threat that AI poses to Drake's music with never-before-seen photos and few-to-no spelling errors. Whether you know him from Disney or Broadway, YouTube, the silver screen, or not at all, one fact remains: Josh's work never fails to bring people together (as long as they're alive.) His delightful debut, written in the tradition of Amy Poehler, Jim Gaffigan, and Mindy Kaling, reminds us to keep going, even when the chips and doubters are stacked against you.

As the Trouts remain in town, preparing an encore presentation of their Mystical Extravaganza, Robert and Lavender begin to grow closer. As the town's anticipation for Allegra's final show begins to mount, so do Lavender's questions. Will the spirits make contact, or is Allegra a fraud?

- The swap / by Harding, Robyn,author.;
- Low Morrison is not your average 18-year-old. You could blame her hippie parents and their polyamorous communal living arrangement or her looming height (she's 6'1") or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low doesn't fit in here. And neither does Freya, a once-famous social media influencer who now owns a pottery studio in town. After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya's spell, and buoyed by Low's adoration, Freya shares her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally Low feels a sense of belonging. That is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island in the hopes that their healthy new environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, leaving Low alone once again. Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya orchestrates a couples' swap. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but when one of the women becomes pregnant and the other realizes that her own husband may be the baby's father, Low finds the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.
