Struck (Struck Series Book 1)by Rachel Langley

Twin sisters Laney and Leela return from a camping trip to find their small town completely empty; everyone has vanished, including their parents and Laney’s boyfriend, Hollister. The news headline will refer to their friends and family as the missing. But where are they really? Besides strange marks on the ground caused by a lightning storm, there aren’t any clues, and without any leads on the disappearances, the police leave the town isolated and closed off. The twins and their two siblings hide from the authorities, determined to figure out what really happened. Just as they begin to lose hope, a mysterious young man arrives, claiming he can help them, and when he reveals that the townspeople have been enslaved in a place called Antonia, the twins must decide whether to trust him and his rescue mission–or be separated from their loved ones forever.

Described as “the perfect young adult sci-fi novel” by the Midwest Book Review, Struck is a fast-paced, character-driven book about one family’s resolve amidst loss and uncertainty.

Almost Interestingby David Spade

David Spade is best known for his harsh “Hollywood” Minute Sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Joe Dirt and Tommy Boy, and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the “comic brat extraordinaire” tells his story in Almost Interesting.

First Taking fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounting his excruciating road-tour to fame–when he was regularly mistaken for a ten year-old, Spade then dishes about his time crisscrossing the country as a comedian, for low-paying gigs and dragging along his mother’s old suitcase full of props. He also covers his years on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, including his close working relationship and friendship with Chris Farley and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including the constant fear of being fired, a crazy ex-assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, a run-in with Eddie Murphy on the mean streets of Beverly Hills, and of course an endless supply of hot chicks.

Sometimes dirty, always funny, and as sharp as a tack, Almost Interesting reminds you why David Spade is one of our generation’s favorite funny guys.

Now this rookie lawyer with a troubled past and a penchant for hacking must prove a billion-dollar company is responsible for thousands of deaths…before they come after her.

Twice Aliveby Forrest Gander

An exciting new book about renewal by the winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry

In the searing poems of his new collection, Twice Alive, the Pulitzer Prize–winner Forrest Gander addresses the exigencies of our historical moment and the intimacies, personal and environmental, that bind us to others and to the world. Drawing from his training in geology and his immersion in Sangam literary traditions, Gander invests these poems with an emotional intensity that illuminates our deep-tangled interrelations.

While conducting fieldwork with a celebrated mycologist, Gander links human intimacy with the transformative collaborations between species that compose lichens. Throughout Twice Alive, Gander addresses personal and ecological trauma–several poems focus on the devastation wrought by wildfires in California where he lives–but his tone is overwhelmingly celebratory. Twice Alive is a book charged with exultation and tenderness.

God Is Not A God Of Religionby Lorenzo Brunetti

God is not a God of Religion is Gods word for this next decade. Having a relationship with everything and everyone else we have lost sight of our most important relationship which is with our creator. This book has been inspired by God to show that there is a distinct difference between religion and relationship. For far too long God has been defined synonymous with religion which has led people to a great deception. The reason being is that the false form of something can never give you the tangible substance of that which you seek after. This is why we must detach ourselves from religion because it is the false form of God. Religion provides you with rules but no relationship. This book is designed to put the focus back on relationship with God! No matter where you are in your life; whether you have a strong relationship, no relationship, lost relationship, weak relationship, don’t even know where to start….. this book is for you. The powerful thing about this book is that it covers all spectrums no matter where you are and most importantly if you are bound by religion this book will truly destroy that bondage!

Peace and Blessings
