A young man investigating his father's crimes is determined to uncover the truth in a gripping novel of suspense about family secrets, betrayal, and the weight of the past.
What do I remember about the murder on the lake?

Charlie Kilgore was too young to remember anything, really, about how events on the lake unfolded twenty-five years ago. He just knows what he's been told: that his father stabbed a man to death, left Charlie's mother critically wounded, and then disappeared, never to be seen again. Now Charlie believes there must be more to what happened.

Using the shards of the story he's uncovered so far as the heart of a true crime podcast, Charlie returns to his hometown in the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Old friends, family, authorities, and even collateral victims have moved on, and no one wants to dredge up what's long forgotten. Except Charlie. He wants to know what could have transformed a quiet man into a monster. And what happened next.

But when Charlie starts asking questions of people with so much to hide, getting to the truth becomes dangerous. Because on this lake--in this family--the past isn't dead and buried at all. In fact, it's back with a vengeance.

Across his 90 years on planet Earth, David Suzuki has inspired generations of his followers to fight for environmental and social causes with courage and conviction. In Lessons From a Lifetime, Suzuki shares pearls of wisdom and hard-earned lessons for the next generation of activists, alongside personal stories and heartfelt contributions from his friends and family, his admirers, and even his opponents, including:

-Margaret Atwood
-Neil Young
-Jane Fonda
-Elizabeth May
-Justin Trudeau
-and many more.

In words and photographs, Lessons From a Lifetime shares David Suzuki's journey from surviving internment camps as a Japanese-Canadian child to becoming North America's most trusted voice in science communication. The book charts his years as a geneticist and superstar professor at the University of British Columbia; his dedication to demystifying complex science through his public broadcasting work, especially his beloved CBC Television program, The Nature of Things; his founding of The David Suzuki Foundation; and his unparalleled dedication to standing up for Indigenous and environmental rights, a dedication that continues today.

A stunning tribute to a fearless truth-teller who transformed how we understand our relationship with the natural world, Lessons From a Lifetime belongs on every bookshelf.

Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

The notorious typographical error is visible in the highlighted line 14: "Thou shalt commit adultery" — the word "not" was accidentally omitted from the Seventh Commandment, directly inverting its meaning.

The year is 1348.

Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or is it faith?

She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon.

There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.

As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

Jackson Clark and Delilah Stewart have had their fair share of run-ins over the years, often ending in disaster. While Jackson thrives on routine and organization from the comfort of his radio booth, Delilah loves the spontaneity and adventure out in the field. When they’re partnered against their will to cover a historic snowstorm, they find themselves scrambling to figure out how to work together.

Eager to be taken seriously as a journalist, Delilah offers Jackson a deal: If he can help her ace this assignment, she’ll help him rediscover his long-lost fun side. With unexplored chemistry burning beneath their clashes, the unlikely partnership quickly tumbles into an easy and surprising friendship.

But when other feelings start to enter the equation, can Jackson and Delilah withstand the storm? Or does what happens in the mountains stay in the mountains?

Promises plenty of Borison's signature banter, emotional nuance, and snowed-in charm. New York Times.

Two competing meteorologists are forced to find common ground in this opposites attract, When Harry Met Sally inspired romance, from #1 New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison.

<p>Our local independent bookshop has a monthly ‘mystery book’ subscription. The staff have hand-crafted teeny tiny editions of each title they’ve included so far. Each book cover is a faithful rendition of the real one. Amazon could never. AI could never.</p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <br><a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a></p>

Short version: book display with tiny books. Fuller description: Close-up of a hand-made display at family-run independent bookshop Kristian F Møller in Aarhus, Denmark. It advertises the Bookpack monthly subscription at 149 kroner per month – great value in a country where one book usually costs about 250 kr or 300 kr (€35 or €40). Surrounded by colourful coffee mugs and books and gift cards,there is a tiny wooden bookshelf about the size of an average paperback. On each of its two shelves, about twenty teeny colourful matchbox-sized ‘books’, each with the author name clear on the spine. The covers are faithful to the real book covers. Author names include Helle Helle. RE Kuang. Patti Smith. Bonnie Garmus. Murakami. Katrine Marie Guldager. Bernadine Evaristo. Douglas Stewart. Thomas Mann. Ann Patchett. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

The subtitle reads "opvoeden vanuit intuïtie en een dosis gezond verstand" (raising from intuition and a dose of common sense). At the bottom, a detailed list of topics is printed, including socialization, puppy puberty, learning boundaries, mental and physical health, and psychosocial service dogs.

The novelist George Sand is photographed by Nadar, who takes a series of pictures of the writer in March 1864.

Sand has dark, tightly curled hair pinned up, and wears drop earrings. Her expression is calm and self-possessed. She is dressed in a wide-sleeved striped cape or mantle with dark trim over a dark high-necked blouse.

Dr. Albert Einstein writes out an equation for the density of the Milky Way on the blackboard at the Carnegie Institute, Mt. Wilson Observatory headquarters in Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 14, 1931.

A black-and-white photograph of Einstein with wild white hair and a thick moustache, wearing a tweed jacket, writing on a blackboard with chalk. He turns his head toward the camera with a lively, alert expression. The equation R_ik = 0 is written in large chalk letters on the dark board behind him, with additional partially visible equations above.

(Left) The cover of She Seeks Peace, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a snow-capped, craggy mountain with green, grassy hills at its base, which feature yellow and blue flowers.

The foreground is dominated by the round symbol for peace, in gold. Along the bottom of it are two olive branches. At the top is a dove in flight. Arranged on the lower three spokes of it are three figures based on the AIGA symbol for a woman. The figure on the right is blue. The one in the middle is a very dark gray, bordering on black, which includes a top hat. The figure on the left is red and has horns, like a demon.

(Right) The background is a view from the interior of a gun's barrel, with the rifling very apparent and the following quote over the top:

Reggie looked down the barrel of one of his own pistols, which the girl held in both hands, because the M1911 was a little large for someone so small.

There was a long, silent moment as the girl giggled and met his gaze. The murderous look was gone, replaced by something more playful, like a cat toying with a mouse.

The moon has turned into cheese. Now humanity has to deal with it.

For some it's an opportunity. For others it's a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you’d expect, and then to so many places you wouldn’t.

It's a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket.

Lobby card for Monkey Business (1931) with Chico (left) and Harpo (right)

The card shows Chico on the left in his trademark shabby suit and felt hat, and Harpo on the right in his iconic curly red wig, battered top hat, and characteristically mismatched, oversized clothing. The man in the middle is one of the supporting cast members.
