The Beekeeper's Promise by Fiona Valpy

Heartbroken and hoping for a new start, Abi Howes takes a summer job in rural France at the Château Bellevue. The old château echoes with voices from the past, and soon Abi finds herself drawn to one remarkable woman’s story, a story that could change the course of her summer—and her life.

In 1938, Eliane Martin tends beehives in the garden of the beautiful Château Bellevue. In its shadow she meets Mathieu Dubosq and falls in love for the first time, daring to hope that a happy future awaits. But France’s eastern border is darkening under the clouds of war, and history has other plans for Eliane…

When she is separated from Mathieu in the chaos of German occupation, Eliane makes the dangerous decision to join the Resistance and fight for France’s liberty. But with no end to the war in sight, her loyalty to Mathieu is severely tested.

From the bestselling author of Sea of Memories comes the story of two remarkable women, generations apart, who must use adversity to their advantage and find the resilience deep within.

Across the sea the Blood Moon Inquisition, led by an old friend of Theo’s, has turned its eye towards the island.

Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir by Ruth Reichl

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Real Simple • Good Housekeeping • Town & Country

When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no?

This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat. Readers will meet legendary chefs like David Chang and Eric Ripert, idiosyncratic writers like David Foster Wallace, and a colorful group of editors and art directors who, under Reichl’s leadership, transformed stately Gourmet into a cutting-edge publication. This was the golden age of print media—the last spendthrift gasp before the Internet turned the magazine world upside down.

Complete with recipes, Save Me the Plums is a personal journey of a woman coming to terms with being in charge and making a mark, following a passion and holding on to her dreams—even when she ends up in a place she never expected to be.

All American Bad Boyby Weston Parker

One hot night changed everything.

As a kid, all I ever wanted to do was fly. I was born a pilot.

And I’m the best fighter pilot in the world. They call me Dice because of my dicey aerial maneuvers.

Safety and security aren’t my first concern. Living big is.

Right before our next big show, we’re forced to work with a new inspector.

You know, the nerdy guys in Levi’s and New Balance sneakers.

Much to my surprise, it’s a curvy babe that makes my blood rush to all the right places.

She’s clever, sexy, and gives me a run for my money when it comes to stubbornness.

But she has a secret that could change everything.

My career, my future, my world.

One night together and she’s got my legacy in her belly.

She decides to not tell me about the baby, and she grounds my plane because she’s scared, which leaves us with a fight on our hands.

I’m used to being the one in control in the sky, but she holds all the power on the ground.

I’ve been a lot of things in my life, but all I want to be right now is her All American Bad Boy.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
