It was just supposed to be a game. A chance for people to recreate one of their favorite horror movies. Charity never thought she’d be in real danger, or that she’d find out there’s so much more to the camp at Mirror Lake than the movie said. Grabs you and doesn’t let go until the final twist of the very last page.

A family can be an old lady with a tea shop, an apathetic hacker, a new widow, her downtrodden toddler, a badly blocked artist, and a would-be author (possibly an evil twin).

It might be easier to make this happy family happen if everyone involved wasn’t a murder suspect, but Vera’ll burn that bridge when she gets to it.

Meanwhile region-specific crops that may hold the keys to food security are dying out. Each essay examines a different type of food, how they're being crowded out and why they need to be preserved.

Julia Lee came of age during the 90’s riots in LA. Now, she shares a deeply personal history, backing it up and filling out the context with a ton of great sources. She doesn’t shy away from or gloss over the ugliness she has experienced and occasionally put into the world. I came away from this one with a lot to think about and many more books to read.

A memoir that is both laugh-out-loud and cry-till-you-can't-breathe. Seamus O'Reilly is the ninth of eleven children, and came of age in Derry during the peak of Ireland's Troubles under the care of a 'crisply demented' father and a community that remembered Seamus's mother better than he did.

Richly illustrated by a host of talented artists, you can finally learn what would have happened if Juliet hadn’t trusted the oddly poison-happy friar and taken matters into her own hands. Or if Benvolio had used an ounce of chill instead of starting fights at every opportunity. More than a hundred possible endings and at least twice as many laughs.

Told with a distinct and amusing voice, this physicist, teacher and incorrigible prankster explains the unusual path he took through life. He worked at Los Alamos during World War II, and bounced around between academic institutions, always with an eye out for interesting phenoms and good stories.

Possibly my favorite narrator ever, the dear, bumbling Bertie Wooster recounts his misadventures with equally bumbling friends, aunts determined to see him married, and his butler- the only person with a brain among them. If you need something light, step into a London in the 1920's where the biggest problem the protagonist has is a nosy family.
(the Wooster stories have been published in a lot of different sets, and I've read most of them in an omnibus that's waaaaaay out of print. I went through ipage and this one has a good selection)
