In Five Years, by Rebecca Serle
ISBN: 9781432876227
It’s almost all too perfect. In one dizzying day, Dannie Cohan nails her job interview and accepts a marriage proposal from her impossibly perfect boyfriend. Her five-year plan was becoming reality. But with nightfall comes a dream putting her five years in the future, in a different apartment, beside a different man. Upon awakening, she’s back where she belongs but the ensuing years are plagued by the unpredictable nature of destiny.
“The writing is stunning; the concept is so original … I loved every page!”
– Beth O’Leary, author of Sunday Times bestseller The Flatshare
“… as clever as it is moving, the rare read-in-one-sitting novel you won’t forget.”
– Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists
Mobituaries, by Mo Rocca and Jonathan Greenberg
ISBN: 9781432873882
Obituaries typically provide bite-sized life stories of individuals, both triumphant and tragic, covered in brief, unmemorable detail. Mo Rocca loves those narratives but feels too many have passed without appropriate fanfare. In Mobituaries, he digs deep with insightful essays on artists, entertainers, politicians and founding fathers—even dearly departed sports teams and countries.
“A spicy blend of humor, irony, wit, facts, fable, and heart.”
– Kirkus
“Put this book in the hands of history buffs or anyone who loves a good laugh.”
– Booklist
