    The Vanishing Type: A Charming Bookish Cozy Mystery
    Entertainment Weekly hails the Secret, Book, and Scone Society series by New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams as "a love letter to reading," and in this fifth installment, bookshop owner, bibliotherapist, and occasional sleuth Nora Pennington must enlist the help of her brilliant, brassy librarian friend Bobbie to unravel the connection between The Scarlet Letter, an obscure 19th century writer, and a dead hiker… While January snow falls outside in Miracle Springs, North Carolina, Nora Pennington is encouraging customers to cozy up indoors with a good book. Even though the shop and her bibliotherapy sessions keep Nora busy during the day, her nights are a little too quiet-until Deputy Andrews pulls Nora into the sci-fi section and asks her to help him plan a wedding proposal. His bride-to-be, Hester, loves Little Women, and Nora sets to work arranging a special screening at the town's new movie theater. But right before the deputy pops the question, Nora makes an unsettling discovery-someone has mutilated all her store's copies of The Scarlet Letter, slicing angrily into the pages wherever Hester Prynne's name is mentioned. The coincidence disturbs Nora, who's one of the few in Miracle Springs who knows that Hester gave up a baby for adoption many years ago. Her family heaped shame on her, and Hester still feels so guilty that she hasn't even told her future husband. But when a dead man is found on a hiking trail just outside town, carrying a rare book, the members of the Secret, Book, and Scone Society unearth a connection to Hester's past. Someone is intent on bringing the past to light, and it's not just Hester's relationship at stake, but her life. . . "Captivating…Bibliophilic cozy fans will be in heaven." - Publishers Weekly

    The Lord of Heartbreak: Reluctant Regency Brides, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    Miss Jane Deveraux is in a bind; her brother, Viscount Jarvis, has married and his new wife does not want her bookish sister-in-law encroaching on their wedded bliss. The Viscountess makes it very clear that Jane must find a husband, but the confirmed spinster doesn’t have many suitors lining up to claim her hand.  What Jane needs is a large sum of money, so that she can buy the local boarding house, and live out her days holding intellectual saloons for the egalitarian set. Though where she’ll find this money is anyone’s guess…  James Fairweather, Lord Payne is the heir to the Ducal seat of Hawkfield. Tall, handsome, and with a roguish charm that has women falling at his feet, he should be living the easy life of an entitled bachelor. The only problem is that his father has tired of his rakish ways and declares that unless Payne cleans up his act he will be disinherited. What Payne needs is a respectable - dare he say boring - woman that he can parade around for a season to convince his father that he has changed his ways. The only person who fits the bill is his friend’s sister, Jane, who reluctantly agrees to go along with the charade - for a price, of course. Though when the Lord of Heartbreak finds himself falling in love with the clever, bookish young woman, he realizes that he’s very much so at risk of having his own heart broken.  This sweet, regency comes with a guaranteed happily ever after and can be read as part of the series or as a stand-alone novel. ungekürzt.

When an autopsy reveals poison in the victim's system and the first editions go missing, it's up to Addie to determine what would drive someone to murder. If she's not careful, however, she may be the next one to be dead on arrival . . .

    A Factotum in the Book Trade
    * Contemporary resonance: in an era of growing anti-Amazon sentiment and the widespread effects of COVID-19 on bookshop employees, Factotum takes up the unsung anthem of the bookseller. While there are quite a few memoirs of the book trade, Kociejowski's is told not from the perspective of those who run the trade but from its ticklish underbelly-the factotum 'as watcher, spook, chronicler of the mundane.' * This book originated as an essay in The Pebble Chance (2014). Publisher Dan Wells requested it be turned into a full book, and it joins our growing list of bookish books: * Kociejowski's previous work (poetry, essays, travel writing) has garnered rave reviews in Washington Post, TLS, the Globe and Mail, Library Journal, and elsewhere.

But then a mysterious pair of ruby red slippers turn up, and the four girls are swept away - not to Oz but to the jaw-droppingly strange lands of Spoz, Spudz, and Ooze, where they are pursued by the fashionably mad Cha-Cha Staccato - who bears a frightening resemblance to a certain wicked witch. ungekürzt.
