-Titulo Original : Seven Days In June-Fabricante : Grand Central Publishing-Descripcion Original: Review “Seven Days in June had me laughing out loud and crying with the characters as their hearts are broken and healed. Tia Williams’ book is a smart, sexy testament to Black joy, to the well of strength from which women draw, and to tragic romances that mature into second chances. I absolutely loved it.” Jodi Picoult, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways and Small Great ThingsIn Seven Days in June, Tia Williams conjures a seductive fantasy-rich friendships, star-crossed lovers, artistic fulfillment. But Williams, a canny anthropologist of contemporary urban life, is writing realism, exploring personal pain, family entanglements, and the negotiation of black identity in a world defined by whiteness. The result isnt escapism (though the book is a delight) but a vision of life at it truly is: complications and difficulties punctuated by profound joy. Rumaan Alam, author of National Book Award finalist Leave the World BehindI can always rely on Tia Williams for a novel with a delicious plot, compelling characters, and all of the pop cultural references my heart desires. Seven Days In June is nothing short of a good time. Its funny, thoughtful in both a real and thotty way, and its protagonist Eva Mercy may not know it, but she is my new favorite pretend writer. Michael Arceneaux, New York Times bestselling author of I Cant Date Jesus and I Dont Want To Die Poor“[Seven Days in June is] filled with important observations and tidbits about Black life, giving the reader something that goes a step beyond the basic rom-com format.” USA Today“While this is a sumptuous, fun, romantic story about two authors who reunite at a conference, its also an ode to anyone who goes through life wishing they were more normal.” Good Morning America“Sultry.” Marie Claire“A read as sultry as the summer heat.” Harper’s Bazaar“Williams creates an entire world around the new Black literati…It’s Black without apology, qualification, or race-related tragedy…It’s rarer than you think.” New York Magazine’s The Strategist“Gutting, arousing, and sparklingly witty… a love story with depth.” Vogue“Steamy.” Essence“One of the most anticipated romance novels of the summer…Eva and Shanes story gets steamy, so be sure to read by the water so you can cool off.” Oprah Daily“If this cover doesnt raise your temperature a few degrees, the story will. Grab a fan before reading this one, because it really heats up.” Good Housekeeping“Very steamy…This one’s going to be everywhere.” The Skimm“Seven Days in June is a beautiful ode to Black joy.” PopSugarWhat’s on its face is a delightfully steamy read is a story layered with nuance that gracefully examines thornier topics of parenting in the modern age, life with chronic pain, and Black identity. Through it all, Williams’ clever and witty writing will leave you clamoring to be part of Mercy’s world. Reader’s Digest“Readers will delight in the opportunity to become a part of Eva’s world, in a novel that seamlessly weaves young love, true love, addiction, pain, and hope.” ShondalandWilliams has a knack for realistically portraying how childhood trauma lingers into adulthood. In her exploration of how people cope, she also delivers hope: psyches can be mended and relationships can help to resolve pain. Williams doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of human experience, and her characters are fully formed and believable as a result. This is a winning romance. Publishers WeeklyWilliams’ novel is a tour de force, capturing Eva’s experience as part of the Black literati in Brooklyn, her urge to hide generational trauma from her daughter while still celebrating their ancestors, and the ways in which fate brings people together. The structure of the novel is complex but ultimately rewarding and provides a portrait of a richly layered world. A hugely satisfying romance that is electrifying and alive. Kirkus (Starred Review)Williams proves once again that there is much more to romance novels tha...

-Titulo Original : A Gambling Man (an Archer Novel)-Fabricante : Grand Central Publishing-Descripcion Original: Aloysius Archer, the straight-talking World War II veteran fresh out of prison, returns in this riveting #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal-or all three. Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible-plus a companion for the final leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town, California, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who flocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears. Archer’s first stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job, and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land-but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer’s final resting place.

-Titulo Original : Anthem-Fabricante : Grand Central Publishing-Descripcion Original: Review An Amazon Best Book of January 2022: Noah Hawley submits his bid for most interesting novel of the new year. In Anthem, the earth is heating up, as is global anxiety. Guns and opioids are everywhere. Political strife and financial inequality have driven our country to the breaking point. Sound familiar? Hawley has turned up the dial on the problems that we all know exist in this world, bravely (and depending on your world view, perhaps divisively) combing through them and explicating while he builds a story that gathers momentum along the way. Anyone who has seen the television series Fargo (which he created and writes) or who has read his previous novels (particularly his last book Before the Fall) knows that Hawley is a unique talent. He is also a deep thinker. In Anthem, a pandemic of mass suicide among young people is the jumping off point for the story-and in the end, it is young people who will take their future into their own hands. You will recognize much in terms of people and issues here, but you will also be pulled into an adventure that only a few authors could write so well. -Chris Schluep, Amazon Editor What does it take to change the world? The “epic adventure” (Booklist) of a band of unlikely heroes on a quest to save one innocent life who may end up saving us all.For decades, Judge Margot Burr-Nadir has worked tirelessly, case by case, to administer justice from the federal bench of the Eastern District of the United States. Her position already seems like the highest possible honor. So she is surprised when a call comes from the President of the United States inviting her to accept his nomination to the Supreme Court-not least because in choosing her, in an unprecedented attempt to heal a divided nation, the President has reached across party lines.For Margot, this should be among the brightest spots of an already charmed existence. But the call comes on a family trip to visit their oldest daughter, Story, who has, without warning, vanished as if spirited away in the middle of the night by forces unseen. Margot soon finds herself thrust onto the national stage in the middle of every parent’s worst nightmare.The desperate search for Story’s whereabouts soon intersects with the mission of teenagers Simon Oliver, Louise Conklin, and a young man known only as the Prophet. Together, they have escaped from the Float Anxiety Abatement Center in Chicago on the trail of man known as The Wizard: an unimaginably wealthy, almost mythical figure of unspeakable evil who has for years been taking whatever he wants without reaping the consequences. Stopping him, this band of young people hopes to accomplish what their elders can’t or won’t do: fix a broken world.Noah Hawley’s new novel is an adventure that finds unquenchable lights in dark corners. Unforgettably vivid characters and a plot as fast and bright as pop cinema blend in a Vonnegutian story that is as timeless as a Grimm’s fairy tale. It is a leap into the idiosyncratic pulse of the American heart, written with the bravado, literary power, and feverish foresight that have made Hawley one of our most essential writers. Review “Hawley taps into our existential anxiety-and transforms it into a hefty page turner that’s equal parts horrific, catastrophic and, at times, strangely entertaining.” New York Times Book Review“Hawley the fiction writer is at his best when pitching his taut setup and its well-drawn cast of characters.” USA Today“Anthem is a Great American Novel for these tumultuous times-a provocative work of fiction that sees to the heart of things, cuts through the noise, and asks, How can we change, before it’s too late?

Entertainment“A life well lived and a story well told. From first page to last, Brian Cox the great actor is Brian Cox the great storyteller, and nobody is spared his sharp eye and his caustic wit, himself and some big Hollywood names included. He is brutally honest about who and what he likes and doesn’t like, and honest too about his own failings. But what shines through every page is a man who loves being an actor and who has a deep understanding of why culture, and especially theatre and film, really matter.” Alastair Campbell“Rage and vulnerability, loss and passion, self-doubt, triumphs and laughs. Brian Cox’s memoir brings to mind the Blake poem ‘What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all that a man hath: his wife, his house his children.’ What a treat and privilege to be invited in. I’ve never read a book that conveys the joy, grace and pain of the journey of being an actor and a human more honestly and with such straightforward blistering charm.” Kate Beckinsale“It is much more than a rabbit Mr. Cox pulls out of his hat. In this candid vision of his life it is revealed how it is he is able so convincingly, authentically and uniquely to play such an abundance of characters. All of them different, all of them real, all of them him.” Hampton Fancher“Brian Cox is not only one of the greatest actors of his generation, he is a gentleman among men. Kind, wise, funny and intense in the best ways possible, Brian is also a wonderful tale-...

New York TimesMr. Mezrich, the author of bestsellers on topics ranging from the origins of to beating the odds at Las Vegas, tells the story of GameStop through the eyes of an array of characters, especially small investors who had little or no previous experience in the stock market. Wall Street JournalThe David vs. Goliath-esque GameStop short squeeze of Winter 2021 was undoubtedly one of the most entertaining stories of the year, and Mezrich brings new life to the whole thing in this look at the outrageous personalities and corporate drama that fueled it. The New York PostMezrich can conjure a scene so vivid that you not only feel like you know the people on the page, but feel as if you’re in the room with them. PorchlightPRAISE FOR BEN MEZRICH:A talented storyteller. New York TimesThe reigning cowboy of creative nonfiction. The OregonianMezrichs prose has a cinematic flavor. Boston GlobeMezrich brings his characteristic cinematic flair... A number of characters come to life... the most page-turning part of the tale. This is a thrilling and comprehensive account. Publishers Weekly Named a Best Book of the Year by New York Post!From one of our most innovative and celebrated authors, the definitive take on the wildest story of the year- the David-vs.-Goliath GameStop short squeeze, a tale of fortunes won and lost overnight that may end up changing Wall Street forever.Bestselling author Ben Mezrich offers a gripping, beat-by-beat account of how a loosely affiliate group of private investors and internet trolls on a subreddit called WallStreetBets took down one of the biggest hedge funds on Wall Street, firing the first shot in a revolution that threatens to upend the establishment.It’s the story of financial titans like Gabe Plotkin of hedge fund Melvin Capital, one of the most respected and staid funds on the Street, billionaires like Elon Musk, Steve Cohen, Mark Cuban, Robinhood co-CEOs Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt, and Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities. Over the course of four incredible days, each in their own way must reckon with a formidable force they barely understand, let alone saw coming: everyday men and women on WallStreetBets like nurse Kim Campbell, college student Jeremy Poe, and the enigmatic Keith “RoaringKitty” Gill, whose unfiltered livestream videos captivated a new generation of stock market enthusiasts.The unlikely focus of the battle: GameStop, a flailing brick-and-mortar dinosaur catering to teenagers and outsiders that had somehow held on as the world rapidly moved online. At first, WallStreetBets was a joke-a meme-filled, freewheeling place to share shoot-the-moon investment tips, laugh about big losses, and post diamond hand emojis. Until some members noticed an opportunity in GameStop-and rode a rocket ship to tens of millions of dollars in earnings overnight.In thrilling, pulse-pounding prose, THE ANTISOCIAL NETWORK offers a fascinating, never-before-seen glimpse at the outsize personalities, dizzying swings, corporate drama, and underestimated American heroes and heroines who captivated the nation during one of the most volatile weeks in financial history.
