General Fiction Book of The Month

The Traveler by Joseph Eckert

It’s a morning like any other when Scott Treder first slips. One moment, he’s driving to work, fingers drumming the steering wheel. The next, he is tumbling down the road, his car gone, his world changed.

7:51 am. Monday, April 13th.
7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th.

Twenty-four hours, lost in a heartbeat.

This first slip is just the beginning. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott jumps forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First a day is lost. Then weeks. Then decades. As Scott hurtles helplessly toward the future, he watches his seven-year-old son, Lyle, grow into a man – and then an old man – in a matter of days.

But Lyle has a plan. He dedicates his entire existence to a single, impossible goal: catching the father who is leaving him behind . . .

Romance Book of The Month

Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose it by Brooke Averick

All Phoebe Berman has ever wanted is a whirlwind romance. And yet, she keeps getting in her own way. She has no idea what has caused her long and messy history of failed dating attempts - the panic attacks, cold sweats and projectile vomiting.

But she does know two things:
1. She's going to be thirty in a month.
2. She's still a virgin. This, though, she's determined to change.

Armed with a romance-novel-inspired to-do list, Phoebe's giving herself thirty days to lose her virginity. No backing out this time.

She's even got some promising options lined up: there's charming new fellow teacher Finn; long-distance texting pen pal Matthew; and, of course, dreamy Jonathan, her long-time best friend and roommate.

Crime/ Thriller Book of The Month

Find Me by Holly Craig

THREE YEARS MISSING.
TWO SISTERS SEARCHING.
A TRUTH THEY MAY NOT SURVIVE.

When Pete vanished into the rugged wilderness of Tasmania’s Abel mountains, it only took a few weeks for the official search to be called off. He’d been warned, they said. Mount Mercy takes people.

Brought together by their mother’s dying wish to find their brother once and for all, estranged sisters Hallie and Gertie head back to Mount Mercy. Their first step: to find the Peakers, an isolated and mysterious commune, who were the last people to see Pete alive.

It doesn’t take long for the sisters’ desperate hunt for answers to become a terrifying fight for their own survival. The Peakers are hiding something. Something deadly …

Fantasy/ Romantasy Book of The Month

The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden

Anne of Brittany was a child when her land was invaded, her castle besieged, and her royal father driven to his death.

Now Brittany is occupied by her enemies, her treasury empty, and only one thing is lacking to complete her realm’s subjugation: she is required, on pain of the sword, to marry the King of France.

But Anne cannot. She has promised her dead father that Brittany would never be conquered.

Defiantly, she betroths herself in secret to France’s greatest enemy. But in a world where courts may spy on each other by magic, there is only one way to solemnize this illicit union.

Under the guise of a hunting party, Anne takes her court deep into a deep forest, a strange place dogged with rumours of ancient enchantments; a place where diviners cannot see. She tells the French that she had gone there to hunt unicorns.

It’s a ruse, a lie, a feint.

But when, against all expectations, a unicorn does appear and a wounded stranger stumbles from the trees and falls at her feet, Anne is plunged into a world of enchantment where a doomed sovereign might find the power to change the destiny of her nation - or be lost in the mist for ever.

Non- Fiction Book of The Month

How To Win A Trade War by Soumaya Keynes & Chad Bown

A witty, essential guide to our new era of economic competition. From Soumaya Keynes, podcaster and columnist at the Financial Times and Chad Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year, made possible by a global, rules-based system. Nobody paid too much attention to supply chains: they just worked.

Now, Trump’s latest tariff announcement can crash markets, ruin your pension, and sour decades-long alliances. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. China’s export restrictions on rare earths could bring the West’s car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher.

In this irreverent guide to our economic world, Keynes and Bown explore the history, players, and rules of trade, asking how we prepare for what the future might hold. Could trade wars lead to hot wars? What can the West learn from China?

Timely, funny and informative, How to Win a Trade War argues that the old system is dead. But what will emerge in its place? And ultimately, what is at stake for you, your country, and your company?

Young Adults Book of The Month

Shadow Reaper by Lynette Noni

NEVER BARGAIN WITH A REAPER.
The city of Aravell is in peril, plagued by a deadly blackmist that kills all it touches, and reapers who roam the streets, stealing magic from innocent children in their thirst for power. Seventeen-year-old Viridia Solace has trained for years to hunt these reapers but their ranks keep growing, led by the man who murdered her parents: the Reaper Priest.

When the Priest's most loyal follower, Reeve Ashton, is captured, he offers Viri a chance to avenge her parents . . . for a price. She knows better than to bargain with a reaper, let alone this reaper, but his offer is too good to resist.

Soon she's breaking him out of prison, colluding with his crew of magic thieves, and following him deep into the blackmist forest in search of an ancient legend, all so they can stop the Reaper Priest’s plot to doom the city. Viri is staking her life on Reeve's plan, but how can she trust a silver-tongued criminal to keep his word? And how can she trust her own heart when a buried secret could shatter everything?
