The True Love Experiment
Sparks fly when a romance novelist and a documentary filmmaker join forces to craft the perfect Hollywood love story and take both of their careers to the next level—but only if they can keep the chemistry between them from taking the whole thing off script—from the New York Times bestselling authors of The Soulmate Equation and The Unhoneymooners.

Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is lost. Sure, she’s got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practicing what she’s preached.

Fizzy hasn’t ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she’s spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie?

Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work in large part because it allows him to live near his daughter. But when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass—unless he agrees to her list of demands. When he says yes, and production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him, too.

The True Love Experiment is the book fans have been waiting for ever since Fizzy’s debut in the New York Times bestselling The Soulmate Equation. But when the lights come on and all eyes are on her, it turns out the happily ever after Fizzy had all but given up on might lie just behind the camera.

The Summer Place
When her twenty-two-year-old stepdaughter announces her engagement to her pandemic boyfriend, Sarah Danhauser is shocked. But the wheels are in motion. Headstrong Ruby has already set a date (just three months away!) and spoken to her beloved safta, Sarah’s mother Veronica, about having the wedding at the family’s beach house in Cape Cod. Sarah might be worried, but Veronica is thrilled to be bringing the family together one last time before putting the big house on the market.

When the wedding day arrives, lovers are revealed as their true selves, misunderstandings take on a life of their own, and secrets come to light. There are confrontations and revelations that will touch each member of the extended family, ensuring that nothing will ever be the same.

From “the undisputed boss of the beach read” (The New York Times), The Summer Place is a testament to family in all its messy glory; a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted, and sharply observed, “this first-rate page-turner” (Publishers Weekly) is Jennifer Weiner’s love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family, and the endless ways love can surprise us.

We Planted a Tree
Perfect for springtime reading! In this poetic picture book with environmental themes, illustrated by award-winning artist Bob Staake, two young families in two very different parts of the world each plant a tree.

As the trees flourish, so do the families . . . while trees all over the world help clean the air, enrich the soil, and give fruit and shade.

With a nod to Kenya’s successful Green Belt Movement, Diane Muldrow’s elegant text celebrates the life and hope that every tree—from Paris to Brooklyn to Tokyo—brings to our planet. Now in paperback, this book can be enjoyed by children in classrooms everywhere.

Drive
Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Del otro lado de la tristeza
¿Qué nos estanca en el sufrimiento cuando perdemos a un ser amado? ¿Por qué todo parece una pesadilla interminable? ¿Qué puede ayudarnos para atravesar el pantano de la tristeza? ¿Es posible ser felices después de esta tormenta?

Sí, sí es posible y la mejor orientación nos la ofrece Mario Guerra en este libro íntimo, cálido y profundamente sincero. Esta obra comparte respuestas efectivas a las inquietudes más frecuentes cuando vivimos la muerte o desaparición de un ser amado, y brinda una guía insuperable y desmitificadora de las percepciones tradicionales relacionadas con el fallecimiento de un ser muy cercano, el propósito es hacernos comprender que el duelo no se supera: se aprende a vivir con la ausencia, además, sí podemos llorarle y hablar con nuestro ser querido en cualquier momento si esto afirma una relación simbólica marcada por el amor y el entendimiento.

Del otro lado de la tristeza apuesta por la aceptación, el perdón y la esperanza para hacer a un lado la negación, las ideas viejas sobre evitar el sufrimiento, pues el duelo es como un pantano helado que debemos cruzar para llegar a la aceptación, la calma, a una nueva relación con la persona que ya no está desde el recuerdo grato y la serenidad. En suma, Mario Guerra ofrece el libro más acertado de tanatología con las investigaciones más confiables y recientes, además de historias de vida inolvidables, siempre con un tono esclarecedor para darnos no sólo explicaciones concluyentes, sino también un consuelo invaluable.

Este que ves
Ser niño es entender que el que lleva al infierno es un camino corto. Se llega sin saber, se escapa sin pensar, se vuelve sin querer.

El niño de esta historia se resiste a contarla. Antes que darle un sitio en su memoria, preferiría darle sepultura. Cuando menos lo espera, ya está inmerso en un juego trepidante que le permite todo... menos dejar morir una historia. Se trata de salvarla, ése es el juego.

No es que la infancia sea en sí difícil, sino que sus fantasmas resultan invencibles y sus muros -horror- inexpugnables. En un proceso inverso al exorcismo, el autor se transforma en personaje, el retrato en fantasma, la cicatriz en tinta: "Se escribe, igual que se ama o que se vive, porque no queda más alternativa, ni se ve escapatoria tolerable."

Unas vacaciones de muerte
Se suponía que iban a ser unas vacaciones relajantes y soleadas en compañía de mi hermano, pero descubrir un cadáver en nuestra casa de alquiler ha acabado con nuestros planes de broncearnos. Ahora un cazarrecompensas impertinente ha llegado en su moto para atrapar al asesino, pero se niega a creer que yo pueda ser útil, a pesar de las innumerables horas de pódcast sobre crímenes que he escuchado… Por no mencionar mi exitosa carrera como profesora de niños revoltosos.

Un cazarrecompensas descarado y una maestra enérgica: sin duda, el equipo de resolución de crímenes que nadie ha pedido. Pero, gracias a estos inoportunos atentados contra mi vida, hemos acabado atrapados juntos contra viento y marea.

Estoy aquí para hacer mi trabajo, no para hacer de niñero de una detective aficionada. Aunque cada vez me cuesta menos tenerla cerca. De acuerdo, es obstinada, molesta y es incapaz de mantenerse alejada del peligro. Pero también es valiente y atractiva y me recuerda al hogar que dejé hace tres años. A decir verdad, el deseo insaciable y la necesidad de protegerla que despierta en mí son una amenaza para mi paz mental. Antes de verme arrastrado por esta peligrosa atracción, necesito resolver este asesinato y volver a la carretera.

Pero ¿me la arrebatará el destino antes de comprender que el camino me ha estado guiando hasta ella todo este tiempo?

Mariposas amarillas y los señores dictadores
Michi Strausfeld, una de las expertas en literatura latinoamericana más reconocidas del mundo, analiza en este espléndido libro las ideas y prejuicios que han atravesado a lo largo de más de quinientos años la historia del continente. Lo hace a partir de la relectura de autores de primer nivel como Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, Elena Poniatowska, Mario Vargas Llosa, Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes, Juan Carlos Onetti, Augusto Roa Bastos, Domingo F. Sarmiento, Isabel Allende, Alfredo Bryce Echenique,Darcy Ribeiro, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Juan Rulfo, Octavio Paz o Guillermo Cabrera Infante. En total, más de doscientos cincuenta escritores y escritoras dan muestra de la riqueza y el bagaje cultural único de América Latina, siempre entrelazado con su destino político. A través de poemas, relatos y novelas Strausfeld nos guía por la agitada y fascinante historia del continente al tiempo que nos deleita con una serie de semblanzas breves de los principales representantes de su literatura, que la autora conoció y trató personalmente. Descubriremos también cuán críticos son los textos contemporáneos con los hechos del pasado, con qué lucidez las grandes figuras de las letras hispanoamericanas analizaron las situaciones de sus respectivos países y cómo sus obras se han convertido en la corrección de unos manuales muchas veces falsarios. En palabras de Vargas Llosa, «la literatura cuenta la historia que la historia que escriben los historiadores no sabe ni puede contar».

Numero dos
En 1999 centenares de jóvenes pasaron por las audiciones para interpretar a Harry Potter. Entre los dos candidatos que llegaron hasta el final, Daniel Radcliffe fue elegido por tener, según la directora del casting, «ese algo extra». Al leer estas declaraciones, David Foenkinos empatizó de inmediato con el chico que no tenía ese toque extra: el número dos. Esta novela narra su historia. La vida de Martin Hill, un chico con padres divorciados y gafas negras y redondas, da un vuelco cuando acude por azar a la productora londinense, en la que trabaja su padre, el mismo día en que pasa por ahí David Heyman, inmerso en la búsqueda del actor que encarnará al pequeño mago. Tras ser descartado, Martin irá cayendo en sucesivas depresiones con cada nueva entrega de los libros y las películas. A su alrededor, todo le recuerda el éxito de su rival y poco a poco, en lugar de disfrutar de la vida de Radcliffe, la suya propia empieza a parecerse a la del atormentado personaje de ficción. ¿Podrá sobreponerse a esa mancha en su destino y hacer del fracaso una fuerza?

The Curator
It begins in an unnamed city nicknamed “the Fairest”, it is distinguished by many things from the river fair to the mountains that split the municipality in half; its theaters and many museums; the Morgue Ship; and, like all cities, but maybe especially so, by its essential unmappability.

Dora, a former domestic servant at the university has a secret desire—to find where her brother went after he died, believing that the answer lies within The Museum of Psykical Research, where he worked when Dora was a child. With the city amidst a revolutionary upheaval, where citizens like Robert Barnes, her lover and a student radical, are now in positions of authority, Dora contrives to gain the curatorship of the half-forgotten museum only to find it all but burnt to the ground, with the neighboring museums oddly untouched. Robert offers her one of these, The National Museum of the Worker. However, neither this museum, nor the street it is hidden away on, nor Dora herself, are what they at first appear to be. Set against the backdrop of a nation on the verge of collapse, Dora’s search for the truth behind the mystery she’s long concealed will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the edge of worlds.

Promposal

Simply lies
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 6:20 Man comes a twisting new psychological thriller in which two women—one a former detective, the other a dangerous con artist—go head-to-head in an electrifying game of cat and mouse.

Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.

When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room—and that nothing is as it seems.

Not only does the arms dealer not exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye.

In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation—and now her job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People
Resilience is categorically misunderstood. It’s not merely about bouncing back, and it’s so much more than returning to where you began. True resilient “doing” allows us to capitalize on the inescapable challenges of life and become better than we were before.

Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal began working with brain injury patients and found that most popular beliefs about human resilience are incorrect. Since then, for the last 20 years, she has conducted qualitative research on the power of resilience, studying the science behind why some people succeed while others fail. Here, Dr. Taryn Marie outlines the five critical behaviors that define successful resilience: Vulnerability, Productive Perseverance, Connection, Gratiosity (Gratitude and Generosity), and Possibility. Resilient People bounce forward, take an active approach to facing challenges, and most importantly, they are made, not born.

Dr. Taryn Marie’s empirically proven framework shows us how to develop resilience practices in our own lives—as adults, as parents, and across organizations—in a manner that allows us to be enhanced by our experiences, not diminished.

More Than Cake
The sumptuous debut cookbook from celebrated baker, activist, and pastry “it girl” Natasha Pickowicz * Named a Best New Cookbook of Spring 2023 by Food & Wine, Eater, and more

Natasha Pickowicz is a creative force in the world of baking. Her pastries are uniquely delicious and surprising. She’s picked up three James Beard Award nominations for her time as a professional pastry chef. Her buzzy bake sales for Planned Parenthood and other nonprofits have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now she shares her recipes and baking know-how in a debut cookbook brimming with the energy, passion, joy, knowledge, and spirit of generosity that define her work.

The recipes are fresh and uncomplicated, drawing on the author’s Chinese and Californian heritage. She pairs nectarine and miso in a tarte tatin and makes a layer cake with olive oil, mascarpone, and fennel. Black cardamom gets tucked into pecan sticky buns, and galettes go savory with kabocha squash. Brown butter is the secret to irresistible buckwheat chocolate chunk cookies.

And she’s a born teacher. Of course pastry requires a real focus on detail and technique, but the author is here at every step with invaluable tips: underbeat meringue; boil your plum stones to extract even more plum flavor; look for “first-press” yuzu juice; for the flakiest pie dough, first freeze your butter, then use a grater to get perfect shreds.

More Than Cake means baking to bring people together. It calls on you to prioritize pleasure. As the author writes, “Dessert is beyond simple calories and nutrition. . . . It spreads delight in a way that no other kind of dish can. This is something I think people really need—it’s not optional.” It’s a philosophy to live by.
