Good Omens<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It\u2019s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.”\u2014Washington Post\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon\u2014both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle\u2014are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witche<\/span><\/i><\/b>s by Sangu Mandanna<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThis is one of my coziest reads of the last year, and I find myself thinking about its enchanted setting all the time.\u201d\u2212Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

USA TODAY BESTSELLER A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family\u2014and a new love\u2014changes the course of her life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don\u2019t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she\u2019s used to being alone and she follows the rules…with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos “pretending” to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and\u2026Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he\u2019s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn\u2019t know she was looking for….<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Rising<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Pierce Brown<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow\u2014and Reds like him\u2014are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winner of the Coretta Scott King – John Steptoe for New Talent Author Award<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn\u2019s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC\u2013Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape\u2014until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A flying demon feeding on human energies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A secret society of so called \u201cLegendborn\u201d students that hunt the creatures down.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a \u201cMerlin\u201d and who attempts\u2014and fails\u2014to wipe Bree\u2019s memory of everything she saw.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mage\u2019s failure unlocks Bree\u2019s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there\u2019s more to her mother\u2019s death than what\u2019s on the police report, she\u2019ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society\u2019s secrets\u2014and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur\u2019s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she\u2019ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down\u2014or join the fight.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Poppy War<\/span><\/i><\/b> by R.F. Kuang<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

One of Time Magazine\u2019s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt this will end up being the best fantasy debut of the year…I have absolutely no doubt that [Kuang\u2019s] name will be up there with the likes of Robin Hobb and N.K. Jemisin.\u201d \u2015 Booknest<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, the brilliantly imaginative debut of R.F. Kuang: an epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China\u2019s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic, in the tradition of Ken Liu\u2019s Grace of Kings and N.K. Jemisin\u2019s Inheritance Trilogy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Rin aced the Keju\u2015the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies\u2015it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn\u2019t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin\u2019s guardians, who believed they\u2019d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard\u2015the most elite military school in Nikan\u2015was even more surprising.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But surprises aren\u2019t always good.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers in this grimdark fantasy that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power\u2015an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive\u2015and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rin\u2019s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah Morgan is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Washington, DC. With a perfect case record and having made named partner before the age of thirty-five, her life is going exactly as she planned.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the same cannot be said for her husband, Adam, a failed author, who’s grown to resent his wife’s meteoric success as he feels it’s come at the expense of their relationship.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For almost two years, Adam has kept his affair with Kelly Summers a secret, but everything changes when her body is discovered at the couple’s lake house and Adam is arrested on suspicion of murder.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah now finds herself facing her most challenging case yet when she vows to defend her husband — a man accused of murdering his mistress.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Adam is certainly guilty of sleeping with Kelly, the question remains: Is he guilty of killing her too?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
