Joe is desperate to let loose and finally move beyond the heartbreak of having lost his boyfriend to the HIV\u002FAIDS epidemic. The two friends are quickly taken in by a pair of quirky, older house cleaners. But something seems off, and Joe starts to suspect the two older men of being up to something otherworldly. In truth, Howie and Lenny are members of a secret disco witch coven tasked with protecting the island—and young men like Joe—from the relentless tragedies ravaging their community. The only problem is, having lost too many of their fellow witches to the epidemic, the coven’s protective powers have been seriously damaged. Unaware of all the mystical shenanigans going on, Joe starts to fall for the super-cute bisexual ferryman who just happens to have webbed feet and an unusual ability to hold his breath underwater. But Joe’s longing to find love is tripped up by his own troublesome past as well as the lure of a mysterious hunk he keeps seeing around the island—a man Howie and Lenny warn may be a harbinger of impending doom. The Disco Witches need to find help—fast—if they’re to save Joe and the island from the Great Darkness.

She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love. Funny, kind, and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse is a story about giving second chances—to others and to yourself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2v2chg0tzz5pnhcjvccnyt.jpg?v=4f6431c20b","LzMaIqso_NWr%Mj@Rja#%MkCRjae","4.00",384,[146],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},"01km1chc8mgfv2dzv5kq9yzgy8","sarah-beth-durst-s9fa","Sarah Beth Durst",[151,155,156,157],{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"is_fiction":20},200,"Cozy Fantasy","cozy-fantasy",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":160,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":161,"themes":164,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[162,95,163],"whimsical","romantic",[165,166],"second-chance","grumpy-sunshine",{"id":168,"slug":169,"title":170,"description":171,"primary_cover_url":172,"cover_blurhash":173,"first_publish_year":174,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":175,"authors":176,"genres":181,"series":201,"enrichment":202},"01kx27yydxb03g2zxrkkrhs9sf","yellow-brick-war-2ytx","Yellow Brick War","In this third book in the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series, new girl from Kansas Amy Gumm is caught between her home—and Oz.

Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, and unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us.

Available for a limited time while supplies last. From award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Kosoko Jackson comes his adult speculative debut, a stand-alone novel blending time travel and globe-hopping adventure, art history, and dark fantasy about magical paintings and the lengths people will go to collect them, destroy them...or be destroyed. A picture is worth a thousand nightmares. Art has always been an escape for struggling painter Lewis Dixon. But other than his mom, who has recently passed away, no one has ever praised his work. If he is being honest, there's really no one in his life. So he is shocked when the British Museum shows an unusual interest in his art. This is his chance to show the world what he's capable of...he just has no idea that he might also be saving the world at the same time. As Lewis soon learns, he has not been invited to participate in a curated show, but rather a test: to see if the fugue-like exhilaration he experiences when painting is actually magic, a power that allows him to enter nine very special paintings--paintings made by his great-grandfather. Spread across the globe, these paintings have unbelievable eldritch abilities...and not necessarily beneficial ones. In terms of power, these are the most valuable works of art in the world, and there are those out there who would do anything to possess just one. And Lewis, upon passing the test, has been asked to destroy them all. Partnered with an alluring agent in museum's employ, Noah Rao, Lewis must travel to Japan, Australia, Nigeria--and the past--plunging himself into a world of black markets, gothic magic, ancient history, and cursed objects to save those unlucky enough to call any of the paintings their own--or to free the world from those who would misuse the power of the paintings. In doing so, he will need to discover if he has what it takes to truly be an artist, the confidence to finally open himself up to someone who could give his lonely life meaning, and the strength to enter and navigate a reality where magic is everywhere.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mm81hfsjb6x81bdp1b01.jpg?v=455895d161","LWMQYE%h_NbIxDozt7j[.9IUIUoJ",[488],{"id":489,"slug":490,"name":491},"01kqpthkfazaj29y17nhwbj030","kosoko-jackson-zqch","Kosoko Jackson",[493,497,501,502,506,510,514,518,519,520,521],{"id":494,"name":495,"slug":496,"is_fiction":20},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":498,"name":499,"slug":500,"is_fiction":20},48,"Body Horror","body-horror",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":20},{"id":503,"name":504,"slug":505,"is_fiction":20},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":507,"name":508,"slug":509,"is_fiction":20},3,"Science Fiction","science-fiction",{"id":511,"name":512,"slug":513,"is_fiction":20},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":515,"name":516,"slug":517,"is_fiction":20},7,"Horror","horror",{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":20},{"id":415,"name":416,"slug":417,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":90,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":524,"themes":525,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[132,206],[526,527],"survival","morally-grey",{"id":529,"slug":530,"title":531,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":532,"cover_blurhash":533,"first_publish_year":259,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":534,"authors":535,"genres":540,"series":543,"enrichment":544},"01kwzx0205jv1bp44d7m96recz","loteria-uaeb","Lotería","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzx020z3jpmq0b89gbryj5k.jpg?v=f5a677aad7","LBHxKS-01c-i0b?XV}oay?IKL#V}",320,[536],{"id":537,"slug":538,"name":539},"01kwzx020rekmsajhrnb5tnp0w","karla-arenas-valenti-c89n","Karla Arenas Valenti",[541,542],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":439,"name":440,"slug":441,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":91,"complexity":7,"audience":545,"mood":546,"themes":548,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"middle_grade",[162,547],"hopeful",[549,527],"coming-of-age",{"key":551,"params":552,"works":553},"genre_mood",{"genre":47,"mood":94},[554,583],{"id":555,"slug":556,"title":557,"description":558,"primary_cover_url":559,"cover_blurhash":560,"first_publish_year":461,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":561,"authors":562,"genres":575,"series":579,"enrichment":580},"01kx2bk38j3vmeeemdt01sk2yn","my-calamity-jane-ni9c","My Calamity Jane","Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as \"delightfully deadpan\" (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called \"a clever, romantic farce\" (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure.

And where there are garou, there're hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill's Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank \"the Pistol Prince\" Butler. After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there's talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving--meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they're a day late and a Jane short.

To escape the loop, he must identify Evelyn's killer before the day is done; if he fails, his memory is wiped and the day begins again, in a new host, with the clock reset to morning.\n\nEach host gives Aiden new memories, new relationships, and new physical constraints, and the murder itself keeps revealing new angles as he pieces together fragments across bodies who each glimpse only part of the truth. He is not the only guest trying to solve it, and not everyone at Blackheath wants the mystery to be solved at all.\n\nStuart Turton's genre-bending debut fuses a golden-age country-house murder mystery with the puzzle-box structure of a time loop, rewarding readers who track clues across shifting, unreliable vantage points toward a solution that recontextualizes everything that came before.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kmsznh4zzthx1kvm5awx2rrs_69cd2cd70dcb1.jpg","LFN]toD$00oe~Dxtm+jF.mt6?Gs.",2018,"4.11",5,528,[632,636,640],{"id":633,"slug":634,"name":635},"01kmsznh6tsjtm6gy90jn500st","stuart-turton-pm5c","Stuart Turton",{"id":637,"slug":638,"name":639},"01kmsznh6xehepn8bpp6tzy2rj","james-cameron-stewart-sl5v","James Cameron Stewart",{"id":641,"slug":642,"name":643},"01kmsznh71zn5jsdfjkkg7hyw4","fabrice-pointeau-idps","Fabrice Pointeau",[645,646,649,650,651,655,659],{"id":503,"name":504,"slug":505,"is_fiction":20},{"id":629,"name":647,"slug":648,"is_fiction":20},"Thriller","thriller",{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":20},{"id":511,"name":512,"slug":513,"is_fiction":20},{"id":652,"name":653,"slug":654,"is_fiction":20},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":656,"name":657,"slug":658,"is_fiction":20},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":507,"name":508,"slug":509,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":7,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":662,"themes":663,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[],[],{"id":665,"slug":666,"title":667,"description":668,"primary_cover_url":669,"cover_blurhash":670,"first_publish_year":671,"community_rating_avg":143,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":366,"authors":672,"genres":677,"series":687,"enrichment":688},"01kx2k10vq5fwvxvtvstf98zmg","a-place-we-knew-well-vdeu","A place we knew well","In the midst of the Cuban Missle Crisis, Wes and Sarah Avery and their seventeen-year-old daughter, Charlotte, try to keep their lives as normal as possible, but a long-buried secret threatens their family's security.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2k10w0v0tvc1fcy33a64fs.jpg?v=930f8b1017","L8EU7G8uuM0~3;A]^5r?Bnw{$jxE",2015,[673],{"id":674,"slug":675,"name":676},"01kx2k10vyetna29w5w79dw59p","susan-carol-mccarthy-tkca","Susan Carol McCarthy",[678,679,683],{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":20},{"id":680,"name":681,"slug":682,"is_fiction":20},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":684,"name":685,"slug":686,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",[],{"pace":91,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":689,"themes":691,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[206,690],"nostalgic",[692,693],"family-saga","dual-timeline",{"id":695,"slug":696,"title":697,"description":698,"primary_cover_url":699,"cover_blurhash":700,"first_publish_year":341,"community_rating_avg":448,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":701,"authors":702,"genres":707,"series":710,"enrichment":711},"01kx2ea2jxra1hzmtpkhq2dq4v","the-boy-who-loved-anne-frank-j03w","The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank","\"An appealing and inventive novel…original and cathartic.\" —Dana Kennedy, New York Times On February 16, 1944, Anne Frank recorded in her diary that Peter, whom she at first disliked and eventually came to love, had confided to her that if he got out alive, he would reinvent himself entirely. This novel is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding had survived to become a man. Peter arrives in America, the land of self-creation, and passes as a Christian. Successful in business and rich in love in the boom years of the 1950s, he thrives in the present, plans for the future, and has no past. But there is a cost to his charade. When The Diary of a Young Girl is published to worldwide acclaim, it triggers paralyzing memories of his experiences in the secret annex in Amsterdam. The diary is his story too, and once the floodgate of memory opens, his life spirals out of control. Based on extensive research of Peter van Pels and the strange and disturbing life Anne Frank's diary took on after her death, this is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory, and the inescapability of the past.

Sparked by individual acts of resistance among those enslaved across the American South, their seemingly disparate rebellions fuel a singular inferno of justice, connecting them in ways quiet at times, explosive at others. As these flames rise, so will they. Luke, quick-witted and literate, and Henri, a man with a strong and defiant spirit, forge an unbreakable bond at a Virginia plantation called Magnolia Row. Both seek escape from unimaginable cruelty. And sure as the fires of hell, Luke and Henri will leave their mark, sparking resistance among the lives they touch… One is Josephine, a young, sharp, and observant girl who wields silence as her greatest weapon. A witness to Luke and Henri’s resilience, she listens, watches, waits for the moment to make her move. Then there is Charity Butler, her husband a formerly enslaved man who proved his ferocity as a young boy standing alongside Josephine. At his encouragement, Charity fights for her freedom in court and wins – only to battle a deeply unjust system designed to destroy the life they’ve built. And finally, there is Nathaniel, who ruthlessly exploits other Black people and mirrors the cruelty of the white men who, like him, are enslavers. A perversion of the system of slavery, his fragile and contradictory rule will become a catalyst of its own. Inspired by the true stories of the profoundly courageous men and women who dared to fight back, Burn Down Master’s House is a singular tour de force of a novel—breathtaking in scope, compassion, and a timeliness that speaks powerfully to our present era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ey0d6j2kyf80ckcwtjgyg.jpg?v=25ece815c9","LTG[4SkB$zs.^$f6kCj?~9jZoefk",2026,288,[725],{"id":726,"slug":727,"name":728},"01kx2ey0d05xptx7thzgdjrgpp","clay-cane-pfe1","Clay Cane",[730,731,732],{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":20},{"id":515,"name":516,"slug":517,"is_fiction":20},{"id":80,"name":733,"slug":734,"is_fiction":20},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",[],{"pace":91,"complexity":7,"audience":92,"mood":737,"themes":738,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[132,206,478],[],{"id":740,"slug":741,"title":742,"description":743,"primary_cover_url":744,"cover_blurhash":745,"first_publish_year":746,"community_rating_avg":365,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":747,"authors":748,"genres":753,"series":762,"enrichment":763},"01kx2kb6qzzpn4tvbc533pac8m","confessions-of-an-ugly-stepsister-e5aq","Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister","E-book extras: \"Cinderilla or, The Little Glass Slipper\" (read the original version of the classic fairy tale); reading group guide.From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale.In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings....
