Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty

Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty—a twenty-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre—took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life’s work. Thrown into a profession of gallows humor and vivid characters (both living and very dead), Caitlin learned to navigate the secretive culture of those who care for the deceased.

What I Like About Me by Jenna Guillaume

What I Like About Me by Jenna Guillaume

The last thing sixteen-year-old Maisie Martin thought she’d do this summer enter a beauty pageant. Not when she’s spent most of her life hiding her body from everyone. Not when her Dad is AWOL for Christmas and her gorgeous older sister has returned to rock Maisie’s shaky confidence. And her best friend starts going out with the boy she’s always loved. But Maisie’s got something to prove. As she writes down all the ways this summer is going from bad to worse in her school-assignment journal, what starts as a homework torture device might just end up being an account of how Maisie didn’t let anything, or anyone, hold her back…

Threadneedle by Cari Thomas

Threadneedle by Cari Thomas

Ever since Anna can remember, her aunt has warned her of the dangers of magic. She has taught her to fear how it twists and knots and turns into something dark and deadly. It was, after all, magic that killed her parents and left her in her aunt’s care. It’s why she has been protected from the magical world and, in one year’s time, what little magic she has will be bound. She will join her aunt alongside the other Binders who believe magic is a sin not to be used, but denied. Only one more year and she will be free of the curse of magic, her aunt’s teachings and the disappointment of the little she is capable of. Nothing – and no one – could change her mind before then. Could it?

Nine First Dates by Jennifer Ryder

Nine First Dates by Jennifer Ryder

Abbie, 25, Canberra. Aspiring event planner. Foodie. Aquarius. Coffee will always be my number-one beverage and I love watching sports. The gym isn’t for me—I love bike riding, camping and exploring the outdoors. Oh, and doughnuts are life. Looking for a partner to explore with and enjoy the good things in life. My new year’s resolution is to find a partner. Someone I can snort-laugh and get down and dirty with. Someone who gains the approval of my mum, but with whom I can also share this crazy ride called life. Not too much to ask, right? Thanks to my high school sweetheart, I’ve spent two years in Singletown, but now… Read more.
