Ghosts of Harvard: A Novelby Francesca Serritella

TEEN VOGUE BOOK CLUB PICK • A Harvard freshman becomes obsessed with her schizophrenic brother’s suicide. Then she starts hearing voices.

“A rich, intricately plotted thriller . . . Serritella, who is a Harvard grad herself, writes about the campus with an insider’s savvy.”–Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post

“Every time I thought I knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.”–#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

Cadence Archer arrives on Harvard’s campus desperate to understand why her brother, Eric, a genius who developed paranoid schizophrenia took his own life there the year before. Losing Eric has left a black hole in Cady’s life, and while her decision to follow in her brother’s footsteps threatens to break her family apart, she is haunted by questions of what she might have missed. And there’s only one place to find answers.

As Cady struggles under the enormous pressure at Harvard, she investigates her brother’s final year, armed only with a blue notebook of Eric’s cryptic scribblings. She knew he had been struggling with paranoia, delusions, and illusory enemies–but what tipped him over the edge? Voices fill her head, seemingly belonging to three ghosts who passed through the university in life, or death, and whose voices, dreams, and terrors still echo the halls. Among them is a person whose name has been buried for centuries, and another whose name mankind will never forget.

Does she share Eric’s illness, or is she tapping into something else? Cady doesn’t know how or why these ghosts are contacting her, but as she is drawn deeper into their worlds, she believes they’re moving her closer to the truth about Eric, even as keeping them secret isolates her further. Will listening to these voices lead her to the one voice she craves–her brother’s–or will she follow them down a path to her own destruction?

The Standout: A Robin Bricker Novelby Laurel Osterkamp

First Robin gets the email with its simple demand: dump your fiancé or else. Then someone puts up the slanderous Rotten Robin Website that threatens to crush her chances to win The Standout, a ballet-themed, fashion reality show. Surrounded by backstabbing co-contestants and haunted by mysterious ghosts from her past, Robin can’t trust anyone, including herself. Her only allies are Zelda, a ballerina and model, and her older brother Ted, both of whom have ghosts and secrets of their own.

The Standout is a psychological thriller about love and betrayal, life and death, tall buildings, and finding the courage to jump.

This is book 1 of a trilogy.

Letter to my 10-year-old selfby Cathryn Mora et al

“One day you will know that the world is a beautiful place to be and that you are so loved.”

A 10 year-old holds a letter to the light, trying to read the handwritten scrawl that looks so familiar. At the bottom of the lined page, finished with a confident flourish, is a similarly familiar signature. The realisation comes, with a shock – it’s a letter from the child’s future self. What does it say?

If you could write a letter to your childhood self, would it be a handbook of survival, a missive of near misses? Or a soul-lifting celebration of triumph over adversity?

In this heartwarming anthology, twenty-five extraordinary everyday people write to their 10-year-old selves, delivering wisdom, witticisms and warnings aimed to smooth the winding road into their future. Along with the lessons learned from the highs and lows of growing up, comes the reassurance of experience and the cumulative benefits of endurance, destined to provide a guiding light to those looking for inspiration.

*
The book is truly written for those who are willing to learn from experiences of people who have opened new doors of reality about life. This book discusses concepts about teen and adult life and how the author would like to inspire their childhood self to prepare for them. It is therefore written for adults, but we believe it’s also suitable for your children (mature 8+) and teens.

Talk Dirty To Meby Ali Parker

A woman in the business of love that’s never been in a real relationship.

Check. That’s me. Nessa Night.

Now I know what you’re thinking. That sounds like a stripper name.

Hold up. Let me explain.

It’s my radio talk-show name. My incognito way of helping the world love deeper and more often.

Though my love life is like a ten-year-old fall leaf trapped between the pages of an old journal. #dramatic

I’m short. Curvy. Average at best.

And I’m a fraud.

For all the advice I give on the air, I have zero experience to back it up. I’m eternally single. Forever alone.

And the only man I’ve ever caught feelings for is one of my callers: Mr No Name.

Much to my surprise, he’s not unknown at all.

The grandson of the great Jack Daniels is my caller, and worse? He’s my brother’s best friend from high school.

Only one way to right these increasingly awkward wrongs.

High school reunion time. He wants in, and I want a date who looks like him.

The only thing off is his advice about love. It’s from Nessa night. Me!

And if he swoons over her (me!) one more time, I’ll have to give in and tell him.

Besides, I’m in the business of love.

If I don’t got this, who does? *Gulp*

Standing Toe to Toeby Weston Parker

She’s the devil.

I mean it, and I would know, because I’ve worked with her for almost a decade.

In those ten years, I’ve seen her for what she is: a cutthroat, take no prisoners, have no mercy businesswoman whose goal is to take what is rightfully mine.

I should teach her a lesson or two about going up against the best. Me.

We’re both vying to make partner at our agency but only one of us will come out on top. I just need to keep my head out of the gutter with this one.

It’s hard as hell. Use your imagination.

After being forced to work together, I’m surprised to learn that this beautiful vixen doesn’t “do” Christmas.

So I strike up a plan.

If I can give her a bit of holiday spirit, I might just be able to soften her edge and make her a less threatening adversary.

All is fair in love and war–and business. Right?

Unfortunately, the plan backfired. My enemy is quickly becoming the lover I never knew I needed so damn badly.

But it’s still a competition. Only one of us can win.

So, do I play nice? You know, bow out and let her win so I can ultimately win her?

Or are we going all-in on naughty this year? Fight to the very end and take no prisoners.

Not sure I really have a choice. The one thing I never knew I wanted is standing toe to toe with me.

A real shot at love.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
